Battery Sizing Basics Article Addendum
In the "Voice Data Video Today" article, starting on page 30 of the September 2007 issue, the author would like to elaborate on some points for additional clarification. The piece offered tips for sizing battery protection devices and circuit conductors in telecom DC power systems.
Battery disconnect circuit breaker:
In a DC power system with multi-string batteries, a fault in any one of the strings will include the current contribution from the other parallel connected battery strings — apart from its own contribution and from other parallel sources like battery chargers. An estimation of the total fault current is therefore required to select the interrupting capacity rating of the battery circuit breaker. You must consider the external circuit resistance of the battery circuit (such as cables, bus bars, shunts, etc.) to realistically find the current fed by each string. In most cases, this would result in a considerable reduction of fault current as compared with the short-circuit current of the battery (per the battery data published by the manufacturer) and enable selection of a breaker with optimum interrupting rating, resulting in a cost-effective design.
The dedicated battery circuit breaker used at each string normally features only the magnetic trip without thermal overload protection.
Example No. 2:
Battery disconnect circuit breaker AIC rating:
The conservative approach is to take the short-circuit (SC) current published by the battery cell manufacturer for estimating the total fault current. Based on this value, each battery string will see a fault current equal to:
(40 × SC current of each string) + (1.5 × charger current)
Therefore, a DC circuit breaker rated 700A, 65VDC, 65,000 AIC is required.
Computation of battery short-circuit current with external circuit resistance:
Considering the battery circuit cable (neglecting resistance of other elements such as bus bars, shunt, etc.), and the contribution of parallel battery strings into the battery string at fault, a rough calculation reveals that the total fault current would drop down to 49,000A (approximately), including the contribution due to battery chargers.
Nominal circuit voltage of 48VDC, battery internal resistance of 0.136 milliohm per cell, 400kcmil cable DC resistance of 0.033 ohms per 1,000 feet (per NEC Table-9), and the circuit cable length of 50 feet (for each battery string) are considered in the computation.
Therefore, a DC circuit breaker having AIC rating of 50kA, instead of 65kA AIC, would be adequate. This breaker would be less expensive in meeting the requirement.
The battery circuit cables (two parallel runs of 400kcmil) are suitable to withstand the computed short-circuit current.

Forensic Casebook Feedback
I have two comments and one question concerning the "Case of the Knockoff Motor" article, starting on page 22 of the September 2007 issue.
At the top of page 27, the author states, "the use of a green insulated conductor as a phase conductor could have fooled even an experienced electrician." I take this as a slam on licensed electricians. An experienced electrician would never be fooled by an example like this.
At the bottom of page 27, the author states, "the use of a licensed installer would not have prevented this death." I completely disagree, and take this as a second slam on licensed electricians.
The brief credentials of the author state he is a certified electrical contractor in Florida. I would like to know if he is a licensed electrician. For example, in Michigan, contractor licenses can be under another's master license.
— Pat Wiitala, master electrician,
Bay Electric, Hancock, Mich.
Author's reply: 1) The documentation was in Chinese. Electricians who can read the Chinese language seem to be in fairly short supply in Florida… But seriously, I was talking about the original installation of the ultraviolet coater. I spoke with several electricians that I have known for most of my career, all who said they do not normally check the internal wiring of equipment they install unless they're specifically asked (and paid) to do so. My employees certainly never did. I am not an attorney, but I would hazard a guess that such inspections may even be inappropriate without the owner's express approval.
2) One of my points was that the green conductor was never checked to see if it was, in fact, grounded before using it as such. The several electricians I queried replied that they seldom verify that the green conductor is grounded unless some unusual circumstance dictates it. A couple of cases like this have helped convince me to carry an electric field detector "pen" and to use it, even on green conductors. I suggest the same to everyone who works around electricity, especially amateurs.
3) You are correct. The state license in Florida is a license to be an electrical contractor. Prior to the Florida state licensing law, local jurisdictions issued (and still issue) certificates of competency. I received my first such certificate from Hillsborough County in 1972.

El Camino Del Rey – The Unknown 2nd Half
Recently L. Vincent from New Zealand left a comment on one of the most popular posts on the site, Photos To El Caminito Del Rey. He let me know that I never actually completed the hike, that really I only went about half way. This came as a surprise to me because I've read a lot about El Camino, and spoken to a lot of people about it, but I'd never heard of this second part. I asked him some questions about it and if he had any photos to share, and he was happy to offer. Below are some of the photos I handpicked from his set, as well as his answers to my questions about the trip through the ENTIRE El Camino Del Rey.

Jobless rates down in 97 Kentucky counties
FRANKFORT — The Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet says jobless rates are down in 97 counties, up in 21 and didn't change in two.
The agency said in a statement on Thursday that the rates compare December 2012 to December 2011.
Woodford County had the lowest unemployment in the state with 5.4 percent. Two other counties — Fayette and Union — also had rates under 6 percent.
Magoffin County had the highest unemployment rate in the state with 16.9 percent. It was followed by Fulton County with 15.8 percent, Leslie County with 14.6 percent and Letcher County with 14 percent.

Discover! Simulations
Where Plants and Animals Live
1. Get Set to Explore
- habitat: A place where an animal naturally lives or a plant naturally grows.
- meadow: A grassy piece of land.
- pond: A small body of fresh water that does not flow; ponds are generally smaller than lakes.
Building Background
- Encourage children to name some of the different plants and animals they learned about in the Discover! Simulation for Unit A. Or you may wish to repeat the activity you did to introduce that simulation—taking the class outside or having them look out a large window in the classroom to spot and name different plants and animals.
- Explain that where plants and animals live is a place called a habitat. Reinforce this vocabulary word by emphasizing the definition. Point out that a meadow is one kind of habitat. Review the definition of a meadow. Explain that a pond is another kind of habitat. Ask children to describe a pond. Then share the definition of this word with the class.
- Pose the Discover! question to the class. Explain that in this simulation, children will be looking for plants and animals in a pond habitat. Encourage children to name different kinds of plants and animals they think they will find. Prompt them to think about plants and animals that live in the water and on the shore and animals that live in the sky above the pond. You may wish to list their answers on the board. Keep the list up and return to it after children have completed Step 3 of the simulation.
2. Guide the Exploration
- Let children launch the Discover! Simulation. They should listen closely to the question and the directions. Children may enjoy working in pairs on this simulation.
- Point out the pictures of plants and animals shown along the right side of the screen. Children should look for these plants and animals in the pond scene. Explain that some of the animals may be hard to see because they are hidden.
- When children find one of the plants or animals, they should use the cursor to click it. Tell them to listen carefully to the information the simulation gives about that organism and how and where it lives in the pond.
- The simulation will put a check by the picture of each organism that children locate in the pond scene. Challenge children to find the eight different plants and animals shown in the individual pictures. When children click any of these, the plant or animal will move in a characteristic way or perform a characteristic action.
3. Review/Assess
- Go over Step 3's Wrap-Up text. Ask children to list the different animals and plants that they found in the pond. As they name the different plants and animals from the simulation, check off any that also appear on the list you made on the board earlier.
- Once children have named all eight featured plants and animals, talk about whether any of the plants or animals they predicted would live in the pond were shown, but not featured. Allow children to make corrections to this list, if they wish.
- Present the Extension questions and direct children to replay the simulation.
- The following animals and plants live in the water: cattail, green frog, great blue heron, muskrat, sunfish, painted turtle.
- Of the animals featured, only the the sunfish cannot leave the water. All of the other animals can and do leave the water.
If time permits, present children with the following questions:
- Critical Thinking: Draw Conclusions Some of the animals shown in the pond scene might have been hard to spot because they were hiding. Why do animals hide? Hint: How would hiding help them survive? Answer: To prevent other animals from attacking and eating them; so they can sneak up on the animals they eat.
- Inquiry Skill: Use Numbers How many animals and plants did you learn about in this simulation? How many of these were animals? How many were plants? How many other animals and plants were mentioned but not discussed in detail? Answer: Eight plants and animals were featured in the simulation; two were plants and six were animals. Two other organisms were mentioned: the water lily, a plant, was mentioned in the discussion of the green frog; mosquitoes were mentioned in the discussion of the dragonfly.
4. Reaching All Learners
Encourage children to compare the different kinds of animals and plants that live in a meadow and a pond. Challenge them to classify the animals by type, such as birds, mammals, and insects.

30 in 30: Second-half surge raises Capitals questionsby Corey Masisak
For an organization that has built a roster it expects to contend for the Stanley Cup every year, the past couple seasons have been a little rocky compared to the previous four for the Washington Capitals.
There was a pair of coaching changes, but Adam Oates drew rave reviews from his players and his bosses in his first season and appears to have provided stability moving forward. The top stars on the team had dips in production but rebounded in a big way the second half of 2012-13.
The Capitals won a fifth division title in six seasons but lost another Game 7 on home ice. It was a quiet offseason, but given the way Washington played in the second half and the free-agent addition of Mikhail Grabovski, the Capitals expect to be back in the hunt for a high seed in the Eastern Conference and another chance to finally break through in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Here are six questions for the Capitals to answer if they are going to have that chance:
1. Which half of last season is a better representation of where the Capitals are at? -- The Capitals finished the first half with a pair of lopsided losses at home to the New York Islanders and New York Rangers. At that point the Capitals were 10-13-1, an improvement after a 2-8-1 start.
They lost three of five to start the second half but finished with a 15-2-2 run and rallied from nine points down to win the Southeast Division. The schedule softened, their top players got hot, other teams in the division faltered; all of it combined for a remarkable surge.
"I was really delighted with the way we got playing because then you could see all of the things we had planned for and hoped for were real," general manager George McPhee told NHL.com. "It was happening for us. We felt like we had a good hockey team and it became a good hockey team."
Washington is moving to a tougher division (the new Metropolitan) but will open training camp with a better roster than it had in January. The Capitals will have their first full training camp with Oates, and there could be a built-in, impact, late-season addition (more on that later).
The Capitals performed at a 71-point pace in the first half of 2012-13 and at a 123-point clip in the second half. The middle is a 99-point team, and somewhere slightly higher than that might be the right range for this season.
2. Can the remaining "Young Guns" repeat their 2012-13 success? -- After two consecutive seasons of diminishing returns, Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Mike Green each rebounded in a big way in 2012-13.
Ovechkin won his third Hart Trophy, Backstrom finished third in the League in assists, and Green led defensemen in goals for the fourth time in six seasons. Alexander Semin is no longer around, but the other three the team once marketed as "Young Guns" are all grown up and were back among the best at their position.
This Washington team could be better defensively and have more consistent goaltending than some of the high-flying editions from a few years ago. If Ovechkin, Green and Backstrom remain among the elite offensive producers, this group of Capitals won't need a late-season surge just to get into the playoffs.
3. Who is the fourth defenseman? -- Green, John Carlson and Karl Alzner are a strong top three. The problem for the Capitals last season was the chasm between them and the bottom three, regardless of who was in the lineup.
There are several candidates to earn the No. 4 role, which likely means playing in a pair with Carlson. John Erskine was there a lot last season. Dmitry Orlov had injury issues but has the most upside. Another possibility is Jack Hillen, who missed about half the season because of injury but was around for the big run to the finish.
"It might be right under our nose," McPhee said. "We've got some young guys we're committed to playing. Orlov needs to play, and Jack Hillen thinks he can be a top-four guy this year; he played very well for us last year. We've got young players there because we've built up the depth in our organization again, whether it is [Cameron] Schilling or [Nate] Schmidt or Orlov. It is time to take a look."
Shots: 1,177 | +/-: 8
That would be Tom Wilson, the 16th pick in the 2012 NHL Draft who could force his way onto the team with a strong training camp.
"We really like him. The issue this year will be, what's right for him?" McPhee said. "That's different than what's right for the Washington Capitals. If he's ready to play, we're going to play him. If we think he could use another year of junior, that's where he's going to play. We'll watch him closely during camp."
If Wilson makes the team, he probably will slot in as one of the wings for the third line. Laich will be on that line, either as a wing or the center. Eric Fehr is likely to be there too, so Wilson's arrival could push Perrault down the depth chart.
"I'm trying to take the next step," Wilson said. "I've played and I just want to be more permanent, work as hard as I can and make it tough for them to send me away."
5. Will the power play regress? -- The short answer to this is probably, yes it will. That could be misleading because the Capitals finished the 2012-13 season with a power-play proficiency rate of 26.8 percent. Not only was that tops in the NHL, it was the best figure in more than a decade.
Over the course of a full season, it will tougher to replicate that prowess. Oates earned a reputation as a power-play technician before he got the Washington job, so it won't be a surprise if the Capitals remain an elite team with the extra man. A healthy Martin Erat and Grabovski should make up for the departure of Mike Ribeiro, who signed with the Phoenix Coyotes.
"We would love it to be there again, but who knows?" McPhee said. "I think we'll always have a good power play, but in a short season that's a pretty high percentage. We expect that we will be at least a top 10 team on the power play and hopefully in the top five. Percentages are nice, but it really comes down to having a power play that scores you a goal when you need it."
6. Is there an end in sight to the Evgeny Kuznetsov saga? -- Kuznetsov is one of the best players in the world who won't be at an NHL training camp. He was Washington's first-round pick in 2010 (No. 26), and the Capitals want the center in their lineup as soon as possible.
They thought it was going to be two years after they drafted him, but this will be season No. 4 for Kuznetsov in the Kontinental Hockey League since then. His KHL contract is up at the end of its season and that could mean it's time for him to come to North America.
The 21-year-old is a dynamic offensive player. The Capitals have a deep group of forwards, but they will make room for him when he's ready.
"He's indicated to us that he's definitely coming over, so we do see a light at the end of the tunnel, and he indicated that as recently as two weeks ago," McPhee said. "We're hoping we see him late this season and that he is as good as advertised."

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
Ld-redefinition-action is an
ld special (see ld). The accessor
(ld-redefinition-action state) and the updater is
(set-ld-redefinition-action val state). If
non-nil then ACL2 is liable to be made unsafe or unsound by
ill-considered definitions. The keyword command
redef will set
ld-redefinition-action to a convenient setting allowing unsound
redefinition. See below.
ld-redefinition-action is
nil, redefinition is
prohibited. In that case, an error message is printed upon any
attempt to introduce a name that is already in use. There is one
exception to this rule. It is permitted to redefine a function
symbol in
program mode to be a function symbol in
logic mode provided the formals and body remain the same.
This is the standard way a function ``comes into'' logical
Throughout the rest of this discussion we exclude from our meaning
of ``redefinition'' the case in which a function in
mode is identically redefined in
logic mode. At one time,
ACL2 freely permitted the signature-preserving redefinition of
program mode functions but it no longer does.
See redefining-programs.
ld-redefinition-action is non-
nil, you are allowed to redefine
a name that is already in use. The system may be rendered unsound
by such an act. It is important to understand how dangerous
redefinition is. Suppose
fn is a function symbol that is called
from within some other function, say
g. Suppose
fn is redefined so
that its arity changes. Then the definition of
g is rendered
syntactically ill-formed by the redefinition. This can be
devastating since the entire ACL2 system assumes that terms in its
data base are well-formed. For example, if ACL2 executes
g by
running the corresponding function in raw Common Lisp the
redefinition of
fn may cause raw lisp to break in irreparable ways.
As Lisp programmers we live with this all the time by following the
simple rule: after changing the syntax of a function don't run any
function that calls it via its old syntax. This rule also works in
the context of the evaluation of ACL2 functions, but it is harder to
follow in the context of ACL2 deductions, since it is hard to know
whether the data base contains a path leading the theorem prover
from facts about one function to facts about another. Finally, of
course, even if the data base is still syntactically well-formed
there is no assurance that all the rules stored in it are valid.
For example, theorems proved about
g survive the redefinition of
but may have crucially depended on the properties of the old
fn. In
summary, we repeat the warning: all bets are off if you set
ld-redefinition-action to non-
If at any point in a session you wish to see the list of all names that have been redefined, see redefined-names.
That said, we'll give you enough rope to hang yourself. When
ld-redefinition-action is non-
nil, it must be a pair,
(a . b). The
value of
a determines how the system interacts with you when a
redefinition is submitted. The value of
b allows you to specify how
the property list of the redefined name is to be ``renewed'' before
the redefinition.
There are several dimensions to the space of possibilities controlled by part a: Do you want to be queried each time you redefine a name, so you can confirm your intention? (We sometimes make typing mistakes or simply forget we have used that name already.) Do you want to see a warning stating that the name has been redefined? Do you want ACL2 system functions given special protection from possible redefinition? Below are the choices for part a:
In support of our own ACL2 systems programming there are two other settings. We suggest ordinary users not use them.
:query-- every attempt to redefine a name will produce a query. The query will allow you to abort the redefinition or proceed. It will will also allow you to specify the part
bfor this redefinition.
:Queryis the recommended setting for users who wish to dabble in redefinition.
:warn-- any user-defined function may be redefined but a post-redefinition warning is printed. The attempt to redefine a system name produces a query. If you are prototyping and testing a big system in ACL2 this is probably the desired setting for part
:doit-- any user-defined function may be redefined silently (without query or warning) but when an attempt is made to redefine a system function, a query is made. This setting is recommended when you start making massive changes to your prototyped system (and tire of even the warning messages issued by
:warn!-- every attempt to redefine a name produces a warning but no query. Since ACL2 system functions can be redefined this way, this setting should be used by the only-slightly-less-than supremely confident ACL2 system hacker.
:doit!-- this setting allows any name to be redefined silently (without query or warnings). ACL2 system functions are fair game. This setting is reserved for the supremely confident ACL2 system hacker. (Actually, this setting is used when we are loading massively modified versions of the ACL2 source files.)
b of
ld-redefinition-action tells the system how to ``renew''
the property list of the name being redefined. There are two
It should be stressed that neither of these
:erase-- erase all properties stored under the name, or
:overwrite-- preserve existing properties and let the redefining overwrite them.
b settings is
guaranteed to result in an entirely satisfactory state of affairs
after the redefinition. Roughly speaking,
:erase returns the
property list of the name to the state it was in when the name was
first introduced. Lemmas, type information, etc., stored under that
name are lost. Is that what you wanted? Sometimes it is, as when
the old definition is ``completely wrong.'' But other times the old
definition was ``almost right'' in the sense that some of the work
done with it is still (intended to be) valid. In that case,
:overwrite might be the correct
b setting. For example if
fn was a function and is being re-
defun'd with the same
signature, then the properties stored by the new
should overwrite those stored by the old
defun but the
properties stored by
defthms will be preserved.
In addition, neither setting will cause ACL2 to erase properties
stored under other symbols! Thus, if
FOO names a rewrite rule
which rewrites a term beginning with the function symbol
BAR and
you then redefine
FOO to rewrite a term beginning with the
function symbol
BAZ, then the old version of
FOO is still
available (because the rule itself was added to the rewrite rules
BAR, whose property list was not cleared by redefining
b setting is only used as the default action when no query is
made. If you choose a setting for part a that produces a query then
you will have the opportunity, for each redefinition, to specify
whether the property list is to be erased or overwritten.
The keyword command
redef sets
ld-redefinition-action to the pair
(:query . :overwrite). Since the resulting query will give you the
chance to specify
:erase instead of
:overwrite, this setting is
quite convenient. But when you are engaged in heavy-duty
prototyping, you may wish to use a setting such as
:warn or even
:doit. For that you will have to invoke a form such as:
(set-ld-redefinition-action '(:doit . :overwrite) state) .
Encapsulate causes somewhat odd interaction with the user if
redefinition occurs within the encapsulation because the
encapsulated event list is processed several times. For example, if
the redefinition action causes a query and a non-local definition is
actually a redefinition, then the query will be posed twice, once
during each pass. C'est la vie.
Finally, it should be stressed again that redefinition is dangerous
because not all of the rules about a name are stored on the property
list of the name. Thus, redefinition can render ill-formed terms
stored elsewhere in the data base or can preserve now-invalid
rules. See redundant-events, in particular the section ``Note About
Unfortunate Redundancies,'' for more discussion of potential pitfalls of

PALO ALTO — Tesla Motors (TSLA) announced Thursday it is raising the price on all versions of its Model S sedan by $2,500 effective Jan. 1 for new reservation holders. That will lift the base price from $57,400 to $59,900 before federal tax credits.
The coveted red multicoat exterior paint, which some reservation holders have been waiting for, will be available to order for the first time. After the price change, all vehicles will include 12-way adjustable, heated front seats as standard equipment at no charge; previously, this had not been a standard feature.
George Blankenship, Tesla's vice president of worldwide sales, said in a company blog post that the price increase is the first since the Model S was unveiled in March 2009 and said increasing prices on an annual basis is "standard practice in the automobile industry."
The price hike will not apply to anyone who already has reserved a Model S or who does so before the close of business Dec. 31. In its latest earnings call Nov. 5, Tesla said it had 13,200 reservations for cars not yet delivered.
"They want to make sure they have a price increase in place for 2013, and they had to announce it now," said Andrea James, a senior research analyst at Dougherty & Co.
The Model S offers three battery-pack options that offer different ranges between rechargings. Tesla also announced Thursday that after the end of the year, customers will be able to buy replacements for all three batteries at a fixed price: $8,000 for the 40 kWh battery, $10,000 for the 60 kWh battery, and $12,000 for the 85 kWh battery.

We've been cooking like crazy this week. I think I'm averaging about three dishwasher loads a day between all the cooks in this house. One of our favorite recipes this week was this one for Chewy Ginger Cookies. They are like a moist molasses ginger snap and we just had to share.
Chewy Ginger Cookies
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 cup white sugar 1/4 cup molasses 2 1/2 cups flour 1/3 cup water 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped 1/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup raisins (optional) 2 tablespoons white sugar
In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the molasses. Mix the water and baking soda and stir. Sift together the flour, salt, and dry spices; add gradually to the sugar-margarine mixture. Gradually stir the sifted ingredients, along with the ginger and raisins, into the molasses mixture. Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. (The dough may be too soft to handle at this point- I suggest either adding a bit of flour, or refrigerating for 20 minutes[or even overnight]). Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and flatten slightly. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.

You could watch the weather on TV and start to believe that the best days for riding are behind us; that rain is coming, that the days are getting both shorter and colder. And you're expecting me to tell you not to believe such nonsense?
Good times are where you find them, and your bike is that place. It's always that place. You go to bed the night before your morning ride, noticing that there's a bit of a chill in the area, listen to a noise that's familiar and strangely comforting but then realize it's the furnace kicking on (is it OK to be comforted by the sound of a furnace?), and you think back to just two weeks ago when you were able to go out without leg warmers. For the last time.
But the sky was blue this morning, and with daylight saving time behind us, it was also light out. Nothing wrong with being comforted by that! And yet, we had only a handful of riders this morning; myself, Kevin (son, not the pilot), Eric, Todd & Jim, joined up on Skyline by Steve L, whom we haven't seen for a while (he usually rides with the older, er, I mean, more "mature" guys who ride a bit later and stay out of the hills). Looking at the video reminds me just how nice & clear it was as we set a deliberately non-challenging pace up Kings, hoping to avoid Kevin having one of his all-too-frequent seizures. Since he didn't, I guess it worked! Unfortunately, when you look at our time climbing Kings, you come to realize that he can climb very fast, have a seizure, and finish in 29:30. Or he can climb at a pace where he won't likely have a seizure, and finish in 29:30.
We did run into a bit of fog at the top, or maybe low clouds. Not bad, but the slight dampness made the 43 degrees up there seem a bit colder. Soon, 43 degrees will feel nearly toasty for us!
Watching the ride play on the video in front of me reminds me that I actually did ride this morning. What would it be like, riding without cameras or downloadable GPS data recording the ride? Without two computers on the handlebars, set to simultaneously display two different sets of data that I think are important (heart rate & speed in numbers large enough for 55-year-old eyes to read)? I don't know. I understand there are people out there who have no computer on their bike at all, and somehow that works for them. Guess they haven't discovered Strava yet.

I posted this in another thread once, but it fits better here now. It's from Wizard Magazine, Issue 55 (the end of my comic days were the start of my toy days. by Dan AlbaughAn exclusive offer for a Star Wars action figure of Han Solo in a Stormtrooper outfit is currently available on specially marked boxes of Kellogg's Froot Loops cereal. The Solo figure is available from Kellogg's in exchange for two Froot Loops proof-of-purchase UPC symbols and the official order form. The offer exired on December 31, 1995 (or when supplies were exhausted). The figure is limited to one order per order form and five per mailing household. The secondary market value for the Han Solo Stormtrooper is $20-30. Kenner has also released a four-pack of original Star Wars figures, crafted from the old figure molds. The re-issues are identical to the originals and include Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. The set of four retails for $19.95.Some hobby retailers expressed concern that the new Star Wars line might have a negative effect on the sales of figures and accessories produced from 1978 through 1985. "Such has not been the case, " claims retailer Ken Lawrence of Heroes Unlimited in Oradell, N.J. "The new line hasn't slowed sales on older pieces at all. I wouldn't say the new line has sparked significant interest in older releases, but it hasn't hurt."Of the new Star Wars line, Princess Leia and C-3PO have taken the lead as the most actively pursued figures. C-3PO was a late release and is now valued at $12-18. There was a rumor in the hobby marketplace that Kenner was displeased with Leia's appearance and planned for changes. Not so, say Kenner sources. Her figure is currently an easy $15-20 sell. According to retailers in the know, three different Star Wars case assortments have been produced. Assortment #1 contained no Leias or C-3POs, three Han Solos, three Luke Skywalkers and two of each of the remaining figures (Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi, Chewbacca and R2-D2). Assortement #2 included no C-3POs, two Leias and two each of all the other figures. The most recent assortment features one Leia, one Kenobi, two C-3POs and two of everyone else.Star Wars releases slated for February include Han Solo (Hoth gear), Lando Calrissian (Cloud City outfit), Yoda and TIE Fighter Pilot, along with Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber and a Speeder Bike with Scout Trooper.I hope no one ever overpaid for that figure. But like Jason, I still have a carded version of it, maybe two
I've just done a big update to the POTF2 basic figure section of the database. I've reshot a lot of the figures and added quite a few more. More nostalgia. Pop in and check them out if you have some time.POTF2 Basic Figures Update

2013 Back to School Gift Guide
School will be starting again soon, which can only mean that it's time to give the affected love ones in your life the tools they'll need to survive another year in the jungle of academia, which we usually call back to school gifts. Of those students, perhaps none are facing a less enviable position than those entering their first year of college. Though those four (or five, or six) years will inevitably be some of the best of their lives, they are entering a whole new world that will initially scare and bewilder them.
Here are some gadgets and gear that no student should be without this school year.
Google Chromecast
Fresh from our friends at Google comes what is destined to be one of the best gadgets of the year: the Chromecast. If you missed my write-up on it over at Gadget Teaser, the Chromecast allows you to stream certain popular programs from your PC and mobile devices (including Youtube and Netflix) to your TV wirelessly, with just the press of a button. Essentially, this turns your current TV into a smart TV with almost no set-up, and at a fraction of the cost. Simply put, everyone is going to want this, as evidenced by the significant waiting time it can take to get one.
Satechi 10-Port USB 3.0 Hub
With gadgets now such a big part of our daily lives, most people don't have enough vacant outlets in their home to plug them all into, which is where the Satechi 10-Port USB 3.0 Hub really comes in handy. As its name suggests, the hub features nine SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports and a 2.1A charging port on the side that's strong enough to charge an iPad or comparable tablet. It's compatible with a wide range of devices – including digital cameras, printers, external hard drives, keyboards, flash drives and smartphones – and can either be plugged into your PC or Mac, or directly into a wall outlet with the included power adapter. The USB ports are divided into sets of three, with separate on/off switches and blue indicator lights to let you know which ones are in use, and the hub itself doesn't take up too much room on your desk (which is especially important for college students living in a dorm environment), providing a versatile and clutter-free solution to charging.
Satechi Smart LED Desk Lamp
This is by far one of the sleekiest, coolest desk lamps we've ever tested, and it also happens to be incredibly eco-friendly and energy efficient, boasting a lifespan of over 40,000 hours and consuming only 1/8 the power of an incandescent light and 1/2 the power of a fluorescent light. The lamp is operated completely by touch control, with four different brightness modes – Reading, Study, Relaxation and Bedtime – each with varying ranges of color temperature, and a timer function that automatically turns off the lamp after one hour to help conserve energy. Additionally, you can further fine-tune each mode using the brightness up/down controls, and even charge a USB device simultaneously using the port in the back. Satechi's Smart LED Desk Lamp also boasts a flexible, multi-pivot positioning system that allows you to adjust the height, angle and direction of the lamp to your specific needs. It's a little costly at $100, but at that price, you won't find many other desk lamps that reproduce natural light quite like this.

A sex move where one shits into the woman's vagina
Me and this girl last night were doing some kinky shit and then I gave her an alabama hot pocket
by Shaniqua McGee December 17, 2016
the art of seperating the vagina lips and taking a shat inside (and possibly having sex with it afterwards)
by SWC February 04, 2005
Yea me and jessica got it on with an Alabama hotpocket.
by dildo machine June 20, 2006
A vindictive procedure where a man wearing a condom uses a linement such as Icy Hot or Ben Gay-type heating rub as a condom lubricant (applied only to the exterior or the condom) to give a sexual partner (usually a woman) a nasty, painful suprise.
She complained that my dong was so small that she could barely tell I was inside her, so I decided to give her an alabama hot-pocket -- tell me you can't feel THAT, bitch!
by Lucifer's Chiropractor May 12, 2006
The Alabama Hot Pocket is a special fetish maneuver that roughly involves taking a shit into a woman's vagina, typically followed up by a good ole fuckin'. The term "Alabama" originated from a lesser known, but crucial additional practice that involves "Porky Piggin'" the female who has recieved the Hot Pocket. In Alabama, you see, good old redneck boys, when bored, would fuck pig troughs or large, wet piles of mud. To properly perform the Porky Piggin' follow-up procedure, one must take a massive shit onto the vagina WITHOUT spreading the lips. This creates a core that enters the woman, and then dregs that explode out all over her. By randomly stabbing with the cock, one will successfully Porky Piggin' the girl... repeating, naturally, the action that would normally be associated with screwing a pile of mud or animal trough.
Yeah boy, I gave her a good ole Alabama Hot Pocket. What? No shit I Porky Piggin'd that shit.
by Vlorg August 18, 2006
The act of putting icy-hot, bengay, etc, on one's condom before intercourse. This is usually used as a revenge move or as a practical joke. An excellent way to end one's relationship.
Bitch doesn't think i know she cheated on me; think ill give her an Alabama Hotpocket and then dump her ass.

Art and scienceLibel trial between critic John Ruskin and artist Whistler, provoked after Ruskin's review of Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket accused Whistler of 'flinging a pot of paint in the public's face'. Whistler sued Ruskin, and although Ruskin was found guilty, he only had to pay one farthing in damages; the case bankrupted Whistler.

CRKT Ken Onion Shenanigan PPS
Just picked one of these up today at Cabela's for about 33 bucks. One heck of a knife for the price. Super solid and razor sharp (the slice on my finger is proof of that :facepalm: ). Anyone looking for a nice utility blade for a good price should check one out. I will post more info after I carry it for a while.

Pimlico handicapper Frank Carulli has tabbed Abstraction, who broke his maiden at Fair Grounds March 13, as his 7-5 morning line choice. Trainer David Carroll has worked his charge three times at Churchill Downs in anticipation of this start. Leandro Goncalves has the riding assignment on the son of Pulpit, who is not one of the four Triple Crown nominated runners in the race.
Laurel Park-based Dynamic Strike (4-1) is Triple Crown nominated. The Dickie Small trainee won the Miracle Wood Stakes at Laurel Park in February, one of three victories for the son of Smart Strike. Forest Boyce has been aboard for each start.
"I was disappointed with his first race around two turns (Private Terms Stakes last month)," Boyce said. "He is one of those horses where you are going to see a different horse next year. For as much as he has done already, he has a lot to learn. I am actually interested in seeing him on the turf."
Former Maryland riding star Edgar Prado is named to pilot Heat Press (8-1), a Graham Motion trainee. The Malibu Moon colt broke his maiden at Laurel Park in December and won an entry level allowance start at Parx Racing last time out. Earlier this week, owner Kevin Plank of Sagamore Farm indicated he would like to see Heat Press compete in the Preakness if all goes well in the Tesio. The stable was represented by Tiger Walk a year ago.
Rienzi (8-1) moved from the Chad Brown barn to John Servis' stable after returning from Florida and won an entry level allowance at Parx Racing in April. He posted a bullet workout there on April 22 and is scheduled to carry Kendrick Carmouche on Saturday.
Rounding out the field are Just Win Baby (10-1), Hanky Doodle (10-1), Wry Me (12-1), Wabbajack (15-1), Handsome Tiger (20-1) and Indian Companion (20-1).
The Shine Again is limited to runners seeking their first stakes win and has attracted eight fillies and mares. The morning line favorite is Touch the Birds (2-1), who finished third in this race last year and added in the money finishes to her stakes resume this year, with a second in the Nellie Morse and a third in the Maryland Racing Media Stakes. Boyce rides the Dance With Ravens mare for Carlos Mancilla. Mancilla is filling in for regular trainer Chris Grove, who is currently suspended.
"I love her," added Boyce. "I actually rode her first time out for Dickie (trainer Dickie Small) and won but Chris claimed her. I was trying to get back on her but Chris was using a different rider. It has been a fortunate turn of events that I have been able to regain the mount the last three starts and it is cool to see how she has matured."
Mancilla will also saddle Celtic Katie (5-2), who will be making her stakes debut. The daughter of Posse comes into the Shine Again off a romping victory over entry level allowance runners at Laurel Park in late March. Julian Pimentel has the mount.
Daydreamin Gracie's (7-2) best stakes effort was a third place finish in the All Brandy at Laurel last fall. She has won eight of 24 starts for Dane Kobiskie, including an allowance score last week. Joshua Navarro will ride.
In addition to the 11-races Saturday afternoon, items from Preakness and Pimlico past will be awarded as part of a Piece of the Past promotion giveaway available at the Grandstand entrance. All fans will receive a chit that can be exchanged for a pair of vintage Preakness glasses plus one other choice. Fans can choose from Preakness t-shirts, Pimlico caps and much more through the last live race.

In an effort to start blogging with some degree of regularity, I am using the events of yesterday as a springboard into getting myself writing again. Because yesterday was a bit of a story. 🙂
After supper last night, Lyd left to go to the bathroom. About ten minutes later, as I was putting supper dishes away, she came into the kitchen with tears streaming down her face. She immediately put her arms around me and said, "I'm so sorry, Mom!" I asked her what had happened, and she managed to choke out to me that she had taken out my red nail polish and somehow it had spilled all over the floor. She showed me her hands, and they were covered in red nail polish as well. (It initially looked like blood to me, and for a split second, I was wracking my brain, wondering how her hands could have gotten so bloody. When she said it was nail polish, I was secretly, momentarily relieved. Had it been blood, we would have been in Big Trouble.)
What she did was problematic on many levels. First of all, she didn't ask permission to use my nail polish. Secondly, at our house, we make every effort to apply nail polish outside. Thirdly, she now had red nail polish spilled onto my bathroom rug (an old vintage rug I had from my Grandma), it had soaked through the rug onto the natural stone tile on the bathroom floor, and there was red nail polish on the white bathroom sink. Ack! What a mess!
First things first: I tried to clean up the mess. Lately, I've been a bit obsessed with using natural cleaning products, namely baking soda and vinegar. I had both of those products easily available in my bathroom, so after grabbing a roll of paper towels, I poured some vinegar on the stain. (JJ had already taken the polish-soaked rug outside.) The vinegar didn't do very much, sadly. I knew that baking soda is mildly abrasive, so I shook some of that onto the stain and scrubbed. Lo and behold, the stain started to come off! I was shocked. I put on some more baking soda and vinegar, let it foam for ten seconds or so, and then scrubbed some more. Unbelievably, with a bit of elbow grease (but not that much!), ALL OF THE POLISH CAME OFF THE FLOOR. Wow! I tried the same baking soda/vinegar combo on the sink, and happily, with a little scrubbing the sink became perfectly clean, too. I was amazed and very, very relieved!
If we hadn't been able to get that red nail polish off the floor, JJ and I would have been seriously unhappy. While we have no immediate plans to sell our house, we do talk about it as a "someday" event. And having a bathroom floor with a giant bloodstain-looking stain on the floor would not have been helpful for resale value.
Of course, the other problem was that Lyd was ignoring what she had been told. We've had a lot of that from both girls lately. They hear what we say, but don't pay attention to it, or else they know what they're supposed to do, and they choose not to do it anyway. This has become quite a problem. So, Lyd's consequence is no nail polish for a month. Unfortunately for her, later that evening she was told to help pick up the toys, she ignored the instruction (again!), and she thereby lost another month of nail polish privileges, so now she will be nail polish-free for two months. I don't know if that's a strong enough consequence, but we'll see.
Unfortunately, the rug is a lost cause. We tried to scrub it with baking soda and vinegar today, but it did absolutely no good. I'm not sure what will happen with that. We'll probably keep using it anyway, even with the stain on it, because our bathroom is not the company bathroom, and we do need a rug on our floor. The floor space needing to be covered is a long rectangle, and this oddly shaped rug is just the right size for the space. But, when the day comes that we move, we'll probably throw out the rug, because I highly doubt we would get another house that would need a rug of that particular space.
Maybe we'll just save the rug for Lyd to take to college with her. Ha ha. 🙂

Candy Coded: What You Need to Know About Your Favorite Sweets

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark
"If you're craving chocolate, then the darker, the better," says Katie Cavuto Boyle, RD, owner of Healthy Bites. "Dark chocolate has less sugar, is dairy-free, and is rich in antioxidants that have been shown to reduce blood pressure and decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease."

Go Nuts!
"Chocolate that contains nuts may be even better for you, because the nuts contain a variety of nutrients and healthy fats that may displace some of the total chocolate, sugar, etc.," says Marie Spano, RD, owner of Marie Spano Nutrition Consulting in Atlanta.

White? Out!
"White chocolate is your least healthy option," says Boyle. "It doesn't actually contain any cocoa — only cocoa butter — and it's packed with sugar and added fat from the extra milk products used."

Go to Grape Lengths
If you love chocolate-covered anything, opt for raisins over pretzels or marshmallows. "Raisins are rich in antioxidants and provide extra fiber that you won't get from chocolate alone," says Boyle.

Lighten Up
"Some of the unhealthiest candy choices are loaded with sugar, fat, and artery-clogging saturated fat," says Boyle. "3 Musketeers is a good alternative, as it is significantly lower in calories and fat."

Chew on This
"Caramels contain a high percentage of saturated fat, so if you're looking for something chewy, you're better off with a low-calorie candy, like Now and Later, that takes longer to eat," says Boyle.

Step Away from the Big Bar
"Go for the smaller portion sizes instead of big bars, because even if you tell yourself that you're only going to eat half, you will inevitably finish the whole thing," says Spano. But be aware that some small treats can add up fast, too. "Stick to mini-size candy bars that are low in calories and fat, and limit yourself to one," says Boyle.

Put a Lid on It
"Instead of keeping your candy out in the open where temptation is greatest, like in a bowl beside your bed, place it in the cupboard. That way you won't be tempted to treat yourself all day long," says Boyle. Buying individually wrapped candy bars rather than bags that you can pour out easily could also help curb cravings.

Save Your Kisses
Don't be fooled: A kiss is not just a kiss. There are now seven different types of Hershey's Kisses, plus a seasonal pumpkin-flavored one, and they each have unique nutritional info. If they all taste the same to you, go for the gold wrapper — they've got less fat.

Take a Lickin'
"Most hard candies have fewer calories than chocolate, but they're straight sugar, so it's all about portion control. Choose a lollipop or Jolly Rancher that you can suck on for a while, which naturally prevents you from eating as much," says Boyle. Just be sure to brush your teeth afterwards, as these candies can also increase your risk of cavities, she warns.

Grab a Better Bag
"If you're debating which bag of M&Ms to open up, I would pick either the dark chocolate or almond ones," says Boyle. "Or, you could put the two together to create your own flavor that's full of antioxidants and protein." Most importantly, don't wolf down the whole bag at once — eating just a few should curb your candy cravings without tipping the scale, she says.
- Nibble: Dark Chocolate M&Ms
Serving Size: 1 bag (1.5 ounces)

Pay Attention to the Fine Print
It might be common sense, but don't forget to look at the label! "Candy is candy — the ingredient list is never going to win nutrition prizes, but when purchasing chocolate, look for chocolate to be the first ingredient and sugar to come later," says Boyle. Dark, non-alkalized (it still contains health-benefiting polyphenols) chocolate is best, adds Spano. "You should also try to avoid partially hydrogenated oils," she says. And as with all foods, the more ingredients you can pronounce the better.

| This talk page is for discussing the Pepe article.
This includes commenting on the article, questioning whether it is correct, or adding suggestions for improvements
Questions about GTA games, not about the wiki page itself, should be asked at Community:Questions.Remember to always add your signature to the end of your comments/replies using four tildes:
Would it possible to alter the name of the character. Just that there are two other characters called Pepe. The first the DJ of Radio Espantoso and then a member of Los Cabrones, who replaces Rico as an assistant to Tommy Vercetti in Umberto's missions in Vice City. A-Dust 22:58, 9 May 2007 (BST)
- Do we have a surname for either of them? If we have a surname for one (but not the other), then the one with the surname should be at the title of his full name, and Pepe should be the one without a surname. But then we put a "did you mean" disambiguation at the top (see Vice City). If you can't find a surname for either of them, make the radio host Pepe (DJ) and leave the character at Pepe with the disambiguation. If we have a surname for both, then Pepe can redirect to the character which can then have a disambiguation to the DJ. Although it is a little bit messy, it means everyone can find where they want to go quickly. However, if we had 5 different people called Pepe, then we would have to have an entire disambiguation page. Xenon (?) 23:13, 9 May 2007 (BST)
- I've not been able to find a surname for the DJ or either character thus far. I'll keep looking though. A-Dust 23:30, 9 May 2007 (BST)

An epic clash between man and machine Available exclusively for the Wii system, the Xenoblade Chronicles game combines science fiction and fantasy into an unforgettable open-world adventure. Players will discover expansive environments and deep character customization options as they delve into an epic conflict between the Homs (humans) and Mechons (robots) and uncover the secret of the ancient Monado blade. With richly detailed role-playing elements, Xenoblade Chronicles offers an extraordinary experience for veteran gamers and genre newcomers alike.
An almighty crash heralded the sudden arrival of the Bionis and the Mechonis to this world, for the two titans were locked in a timeless battle...
The sound of their clashing blades rang out, shaking the sea bed and sending ripples through the air.
As the duel reached its climax, the titans poured their remaining strength into one last slash of their great swords. Both struck forth with immeasurable power...
Once the dust had settled, only their corpses remained.
Eons passed, and signs of life finally began appearing upon the corpse of the titan Bionis.
People born of the Bionis will return to the Bionis.
Now, the Bionis's enormous body, covered in lush plains as far as the eye can see, is home to a developed civilization, which gives thanks to the titan for providing them with such a natural bounty.
Life on Bionis was not destined to flourish forever, however.
One day, an enormous horde of mechanical life forms from the titan Mechonis launched a sudden and all-out attack on the inhabitants of Bionis.
These overwhelmingly powerful entities, known only as the 'Mechon,' overwhelmed and devoured the inhabitants. Before long, the entire surface of Bionis was overrun.
The Homs' only remaining hope is a legendary sword, said to be a gift from the titan itself.
Its blade is imbued with a curious power that allows it to effortlessly slice through Mechon armor.
Unfortunately, whosoever wields the sword must endure a great toll on their body, and only one has ever been able to wield it: Dunban, Hero of the Homs.
"The Monado...
I hope I can figure out the
secret of its power one day."
Race: Homs | Gender: Male | Age: 18 | Height: 171cm
A handsome young man and a budding scientist. He and Reyn set out to destroy the Mechon that attacked their home colony.
"I'm coming along as well.
I'd feel better going with you boys than
sitting at home worrying about you."
Race: Homs | Gender: Female | Age: 18 | Height: 160cm
A caring and energetic young woman. Fiora is a childhood friend of Shulk's, and feels a certain affection towards him. She is Dunban's younger sister.
"We may die if we take a stand here.
But staying gives us the chance
to change our destinies."
Race: Homs | Gender: Male | Age: 30 | Height: 180cm
Hero of the Homs, who once felled countless Mechon with the Monado. Currently recuperating from injuries received in the battle fought one year ago.
"OK, I got it. I'll make you a promise.
Shulk won't even get a scratch."
Race: Homs | Gender: Male | Age: 18 | Height: 190cm
A member of the Colony 9 Defence Force and Shulk's childhood friend. Optimistic and hard-working, though sometimes hot-headed and overly emotional.
"I swear I won't stop until I've scrapped
each and every one of you!"
Race: Homs | Gender: Female | Age: 21 | Height: 168cm
A medic in the Colony 6 Defence Force. A no-nonsense woman with a real inner fortitude, she is an excellent sharpshooter.
"If you do not grasp the importance of loved ones
until after they are gone...
That is simply too late."
Race: High Entia | Gender: Female | Age: ?? | Height: 156cm
A young member of the High Entia race that have built a vast civilization on the head of Bionis. She specializes in using ether attacks.
"New Hom Hom friends!
Meet this year's legendary Heropon, Riki!
Riki live to serve!"
Race: Nopon | Gender: Male | Age: ?? | Height: 60cm
A member of the Nopon village tucked away in the forest on the Bionis's back, he is also their Heropon. He acts and speaks just like a child, but therein lies a secret...
Move freely through
real-time battles and unleash powerful arts.
The battles of Xenoblade Chronicles combine
action game-style attacks and turn-based tactics.
Your character will encounter various monsters as they travel around the game world. Target a monster and instruct your character to attack it in order to commence battle with that monster.
Each monster has its own traits and characteristics. Some will attack you as soon as they see you, others will only attack when you are endangering members of their herd.
You are free to move around during battles, and focusing on your position relative to the enemy will be important. As soon as you are within range to attack the enemy, the character you're controlling will auto-attack the enemy.
Pick your moment during battle to perform special actions known as Arts. (Once an Art has been used, it must cool down. It cannot be used again until its cooldown period is finished.)
Each character has a range of different Arts that they are able to perform. Some Arts have special effects when used at a certain point in battle, from a set direction, or in combination with another character's actions.
Effectively combining such actions will help swing battles in your favor.
Your party is made up of a maximum of three people. The party members you aren't controlling will decide how to act for themselves, based on the battle situation.
Communicating with your party and increasing your affinity, displayed as the Party Gauge in the top-left of the screen, will give you an advantage in battle.
Increasing party affinity allows you to perform powerful Chain Attacks with the other party members. You can also give simple commands to your party members, directing them to concentrate their attacks on a certain enemy, for example.
*Affinity is displayed as the Party Gauge which appears at the top-left of the screen.
When the enemy's HP reaches zero, the battle is over. You will receive experience that lets you level up and points that you can use to customize your abilities.
Check any treasure chests that appear for items or equipment. Sometimes they contain things of real value!
Defeating enemies will earn you XP and so on. Items can also be obtained from dropped treasure chests.
Each character can equip different types of weapons. Some excel at close combat whereas others specialize in long-range attacks. You will need different battle tactics for each character depending on their equipment and personality. The player can change which character they control at any time using the menu. (The player-controlled character cannot be changed during battles.)
The Monado is a weapon imbued with special powers that set it apart from other weapons in the game. As Shulk gradually becomes aware of its power, powerful moves with special effects, known as Monado Arts, become available for you to use.
Mechon's tough armor means they are impervious to damage unless a special attack that harnesses the Monado's power is used. The character who wields the Monado releases its power, sharing it with members of the party. This enables all party members' attacks to cause damage to Mechon.
Some of the monsters you'll encounter while travelling around the game world are unique monsters with individual names. Unique monsters drop items that are more valuable than those dropped by ordinary monsters when defeated.
You'll encounter powerful unique monsters right from the beginning of the story. Don't take them on until you are ready. Bide your time and build up your powers before challenging them.
