Not only did he write and sing funny cartoony songs,
he came up with one of the most unique family stories in history.
Damn you John K. ! That Elwy and The Tree Weasels song is stuck in my head !
Oh yeah, and that dude looks like he was putting those weasels inside his pants, not in his pocket. I know you John, you sicko you. ;)
The squirrel pictures make me feel good. Thanks!
The original Chipmunk designs from the 60's animation was far better than the 80's or the current cgi version.
Dear John,
I'm curious, is the Ren & Stimpy episode "A Visit to Anthony" some kind of autobiography? I'm not talking about the obvious, your father, but is Anthony and his traits based on yourself? Great episode btw. with lots of great drawings!
Thanks, your fan
And the Soaky bottle designs are better than any of them!
Soaky designs of all characters are better than the real ones, even when they are based on humans, like Batman and Frankenstein.
This is my favorite episode. It's the one that has stuck in my mind for years.
I remember wondering why the dad had cheerios stuck on his tongue all the time.
Also.. apparently you can time travel as the date on your blog says it's the 15th!?
Elwy and the Tree Weasels was some of the weirdest animation I'd ever seen as a kid. The memories of that cracked-out David Seville with the Cheerios always flying out of his mouth still haunt me. The 60s Chipmunks were always the best designed -- cuter and funnier than all the others -- but the 80s versions sang new wave covers and it's hard to beat that with a Bat-Bat!
I still value my Alvin and the chipmunks Christmas record. The "Jingle Bells" cut is great and the "Silver Bells" version is definitive.
Can you reccomend any cool links to Bagdasarian?
I liked the original character designs from "the alvin show" too.
the late 50's liberty albums feature chipmunks that look more realistic than cartoony.
Does anyone remember or have any clips of "the nutty squirrels"...it was kind of a beatnik version of the chimpmunks from the same time period.
They even had a 45 on the Hanover label called "uh ooh".
Ross Bagdasarian also co-wrote the famous Rosemary Clooney song 'come on a my house"
yeah i was wondering about the cheerios myself! why did he have that in his mouth!

"Ross Bagdasarian also co-wrote the famous Rosemary Clooney song 'come on a my house""
Something that Rosemary Clooney would rather have not remembered (she died in 2001).

I think the most clutch ever seen was Ralph Sampson against the Lakers in the playoffs.

True. If it comes to a game ending performance, nothing it's even close to this one.
I disagree (obviously).
1, because it's McGrady and I inherantly hate him. 2, because this one was better:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtPaMgyz ... ed&search=
No way, McGrady's was WAAAY better. 3 3's plus a 4 pt play! Ridiculous.
Yep. Jaypat is right... altough, as you hate T-Mac so much, I accept Reggies' as equally impressive.

I did wonder how spikey LED lighting systems are, I guess your example will cause problems when shooting certain colours?I know flurescant tubes are not ideal either unless you get the Philips graphilux ones.
Very interesting, thanks for posting. Can you go one step further and convert your "inches" axis to approximate wavelength?For fun, you could look at the spectrum from a candle and see how it compares to a blackbody distribution.
No, haven't tried those, got a link?
Sure. Look here to start. Not cheap, though. I use these in ceiling cans.
...but the green graph on page 3 here looks pretty good - almost like real daylight!
One problem was that the blue spike wasn't tall enough, compared to the manufacturers graph. Soon found out that the mighty Foveon sensor can capture quite a wide gamut of color and the spectrum was mostly out-of-gamut for sRGB.
Most Bayer sensored DSLRs have gamuts much smaller than ProPhoto and Foveons have more approximate colors. It'd be interesting to understand how much of the curves are limited by the sensor.

Tyan Tiger i7520SD S5365
With Computex Taipei 2006 wrapping up today, Tyan Computer Corporation was again a heavy-hitter at this year's expo. If you will recall from our coverage last year, Tyan was first to launch an 8-way server solution that was capable of handling up to eight AMD Opteron's in a 4+4 board configuration. This June, Tyan once again has a slew of new products reaching the market. In fact, Tyan has seven new Xeon motherboards based upon the LGA-771 socket that are compatible with Intel Dempsey and Woodcrest processors. Today we have a preview of the Tempest i5000XL.
Tyan Tiger i7520SD S5365
After looking at the Tyan Tempest i5000XL yesterday, today we are featuring a small preview of the Tiger i7520SD S5365. Rather than taking the Woodcrest LGA-771 route, the Tiger i7520SD features the Lindenhurst Chipset and wields dual mPGA479 sockets for use with Intel's Xeon LV Sossaman processors.

Rafał Blechacz
Profound thought and feeling merge in Rafał Blechacz's music-making to create interpretations of irresistible energy and penetrating insight. The Polish pianist's artistry is recognised by reviewers as rare by any measure – his many plaudits include being dubbed "a musician in service to the music, searching its depths, exploring its meaning and probing its possibilities" (Washington Post) – and arises from his total command of the keyboard and ability to unlock his instrument's full expressive range. Those qualities, driven by innate curiosity and openness, have supported Blechacz's artistic and professional development in the years since he took first prize at the 2005 International Chopin Piano Competition. He stands today among the world's finest pianists, a young artist in high demand for the honesty and vision he brings to performances of everything from Bach and Beethoven to Chopin and Szymanowski.
Rafał Blechacz was born in the small town of Nakło nad Notecią in northern Poland in June 1985. He showed early signs of musical talent and began piano lessons at the age of five. Having first enrolled at the Arthur Rubinstein State Music School in Bydgoszcz, he progressed to study at the city's Feliks Nowowiejski Academy of Music, graduating in May 2007 from Katarzyna Popowa-Zydroń's piano class. Blechacz's outstanding technical and artistic attributes secured a sequence of competition successes, beginning in 2002 with second prize at the Arthur Rubinstein International Competition for Young Pianists in Bydgoszcz, continuing the following year with joint first prize at the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition, and culminating in outright victory at the 2005 International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, where he became the first Polish musician to receive the top prize since Krystian Zimerman thirty years earlier.
The stylish eloquence and mature intensity of Blechacz's Chopin Competition performances, delivered within months of his twentieth birthday, were rewarded not only with the winner's medal but also with a clean sweep of the event's four special prizes and the Audience Award. He signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon in May 2006, following Zimerman to become the second Polish pianist to join the yellow label's international roster of artists. The new relationship was launched in October 2007 with Blechacz's debut solo album, a coupling of Chopin's complete Preludes and two Nocturnes op.62. The release prompted BBC Music Magazine to describe Blechacz as a "superlative pianist but an even finer musician" and went on to win Echo Klassik and Diapason d'Or Awards. His second album, a recital of piano sonatas by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven released in October 2008, was praised by Fanfare for its "compelling and remarkably mature" artistry, and inspired Gramophone to commend the "textural transparency, expressive economy, creative inspiration, high humour and strategically placed silences … [of] Rafał Blechacz's splendid, beautifully recorded interpretations".
Over the past decade Blechacz has reinforced his position among the great interpreters of Chopin. His schedule of past performances and Deutsche Grammophon discography are rich in works by his fellow countryman, complete with critically acclaimed albums devoted to the composer's piano concertos and polonaises. His account of the two piano concertos, made for the yellow label with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Jerzy Semkow, was released in late 2009 to herald the upcoming bicentenary of Chopin's birth. The album won a 2010 Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik and two Fryderyks, Poland's equivalent of the Grammy Awards.
Blechacz's repertoire choices also reflect his passion for the music of, among others, J.S. Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, Liszt, Mozart, Schumann and Szymanowski. The Sunday Times (London) greeted his 2012 album of works by Debussy and Szymanowski as "an unforgettable disc from one of the pianistic giants of our time", an accolade endorsed by an Echo Klassik Award in the category "Solo Recording of the Year (20th-/21st-century)/Piano". His sixth Deutsche Grammophon album, set for release in February 2017, comprises works by Bach, the Partitas Nos.1 & 3 and Italian Concerto among them. Speaking about performing Bach, he observes, "Of course, it's very important to be well informed about Baroque style, but sometimes … I feel it's even more important to listen to your heart and your intuition."
In 2016 Blechacz took a sabbatical from performing to complete a doctorate in philosophy at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland. His dissertation explored aspects of the metaphysics and aesthetics of music. "This has helped me to understand both the freedoms and limitations of musical interpretations," he reflects. Blechacz marks his return to the concert platform in Italy at the end of January 2017 with a recital of works by Bach, Beethoven and Chopin, a programme he will then tour to venues in Germany, France, Belgium and the United States. Later in the spring he will perform concertos by Beethoven and Chopin in Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Canada, while the autumn will see him embark on a recital tour of Japan.
The special nature of Rafał Blechacz's work was recognised in 2010 with the Premio Internazionale Accademia Chigiana, awarded annually by the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena to an outstanding pianist or violinist. In 2014 he received the Gilmore Artist Award, a prestigious prize conferred every four years – "following a rigorous and confidential selection process" – in recognition of "extraordinary piano artistry". In addition to formal prizes and awards, Blechacz has also garnered ringing endorsements from senior colleagues, with Martha Argerich, winner of the Chopin Competition in 1965, describing him as "a very honest, extraordinary and sensitive artist" and the Irish pianist and pedagogue John O'Conor as "one of the greatest artists I have ever heard in my life".

What the Tabloids Taught Us While Waiting In Line This Week
We had some time to read the tabs while we were waiting in line to buy kale and lentils this week, and here's what we gleaned from the National Enquirer, In Touch, the Star, the Globe and OK!
Avoiding the express line definitely has its educational advantages.
National Enquirer
- Angelina Jolie may need a new liver. Because she forgot to check the date on the label and the other one went bad in the fridge while she was out collecting children like Hummel figurines.
- Sally Struthers lives life as a lonely hoarder. Now we know where all the Cheetos are.
- Sickening TLC star Honey Boo Boo is involved in some kind of shocking adoption scandal. This made us think that someone adopted her, but it just turns out that her mom isn't a very good mother. Which isn't shocking at all.
- Monica Lewinsky is writing a book about telling lies and having a secret abortion. We can only wonder what will be in this $12 million tell-all book that we don't know already, but it must be incredible because publishers are drooling and it's taken her more than a decade to
make it upwrite it.
In Touch
- Tom Cruise has reportedly chosen Scientology over his adorable daughter, Suri. Because she wasn't invented by L. Ron Hubbard and bears no resemblance to a galactic ruler.
- Jessica Simpson has ordered everyone not to call her fat. Said the new mom, "You know I only answer to 'Hey, Stupid.'"
- The topless scandal is apparently worse than Kate Middleton knows. The Hef is refusing to even consider a multi-million dollar payout for a spread of the Duchess since every frat boy on the planet has seen her wobblies already.
- A bunch of stars were snapped without makeup. Whatever. They're still pretty. And they seem all honey badger about being bare-faced, like they have confidence and giant bank accounts or something. Freaks.
- Britney Spears' fiancé got caught cheating. To which he replied with no irony whatsoever, "Oops. I did it again. You're toxic anyway. But fine, get it out of your system -- hit me, baby, one more time." (We'll stop now.)
- Khloe Kardashian finally figured out her family hates her, so she's in therapy. Just wait until she finds out the rest of us can't stand her either.
- Rob Kardashian, however, is a mama's boy. Because who wants to let go of silk apron strings worth millions of dollars.
- Dr. Phil shows how he earned his title by discovering that Dina Lohan is the worst mom ever. Also that NFL replacement refs may be the worst refs ever.
- Camilla cruelly slams Kate for being topless. Who do William and Kate think they are, acting like they're actually in love. Pansies.
- Something about Scott Peterson's life behind bars is shocking. Mainly that anyone would refer to a section of death row as "cushy" or a "luxury penthouse suite."
- Michael Jackson's mother is finally leaving that skeevy Joe. Which makes us wonder what happened, because that camel's had three decades' worth of last straws.
- President Obama was caught in a gay bathhouse. To which he responded, "Hey, a campaign stop is a campaign stop. Conversations in watering holes help me stay in touch with the people of this nation."
- Kristen Stewart is vowing she'll never cheat again. Unless there's a movie franchise to peddle.
- Everybody still thinks Will & Kate are having twins. Or they ARE twins. It's sort of hard to tell. And it's not like royals don't inbreed.
- Kanye West told Kim Kardashian she needs to diet. At which point we hope she told him that dropping him and his inflated ego would do the trick nicely.
- The family of Jenelle Evans from 'Teen Mom 2' fears she had some kind of overdose. We're guessing it's an overdose of her family, none of whom got an overdose of smarts.

One thing I always enjoy are Stephen King collections and sometimes I enjoy them most for his writer notes and introductions. Usually in his introductions, he states he wants short stories to stay alive and viable and that is why he continues using the form.
I think one thing to watch out for is novelists who don't understand the short story form. Meaning, I see far too many anthologies of current fantasy writers offerings stories from their bestselling series. I'll admit to not reading many but when I do I often feel the story is nothing but an advertisement for their series. Or, the story reads more like a lost/removed chapter from something bigger – not really a short story at all.
That is what King is pointing out – we need to exercise those short story muscles.
I am glad the TOR novellas seem to be doing well. Ever since ebooks started, I know many of us felt length would no longer an obstacle or a hindrance. But there was not an immediate major resurgence of the short form. It's been a slow build. Now we have Kickstarter magazines and anthologies. I think the promise of Internet meets digital meets customized markets is finally paying off.
Then again, maybe that's just because that's what I like and keep my eyes open for. I have a 'Zines Amazon wishlist now. Never would have thought that a few years ago. Granted, a lot of it is 'new pulp.'
Time will tell.

|Members Of The Illuminati - John Todd
John Todd quickly went up in the rankings and even became a high ranking priest for the illuminati. He quickly became interested in running and controlling the world. John Todd was also a part of the "council of thirteen" who this group of people and he was one of the few who ranked right below the powerful family of London also know as the Rothschild family. This family is the most powerful privately owned bankers in the whole world and they are also the owners of the federal reserve bank in the U.S.A..
It's a very well known story that John joined the army to connect witht eh coven's of whiches and became a green beret in Vietnam. He later left vietnam and went to Germany where he killed a former commanding officer of a small argument while they were both in a bar. He even claims that the illuminati helped him out of jail and the Pentagon even got rid of his military records for him.
Todd say's that the illuminati has begun putting into action the plans to completely take over the whole world. He says that only the churches who co-operate with his laws will bypass the private ownerships of guns and remove the tax exemptions. The Rothschild's are going to make up a lie about fuel shortage, take away all weapons and begin implementing the murder and torture of any christians.
The only way to survive is if christians began to arm themselves, have enough food to last up to five years, hide in various retreats, and defend themselves from any evil that is going to attack them.
A lot of this information is difficult to believe, but you will need to do more research to fully understand how the illuminati works. I highly recommend that you are well prepared for the time that the illuminati comes your way. You must have some sort of a plan.

Ben Eager is a classy guy.
(Photo by Jessica Haydahl/NHLI via Getty Images)
The Sharks – despite their defiant comments post-game – have to be embarrassed by last night's performance and result. They lost their composure, they got crap goaltending, and they were thoroughly routed in the third period. Usually I don't enjoy a blow-out quite as much as I enjoy the tension of a close playoff game. Last night, however, was the exception. Ben Eager's douche-juice antics (apologies to Buzz Bissinger), enabled and, also, transformed the feeling behind the blowout. He personally made it so that every Canucks goal felt like justice being served.
Though it's fun to speculate about what Eager said to Luongo, his he-man actions upon scoring a totally meaningless goal to make it a 4 goal game late in the third, were pretty pathetic. I love how he flexes and show-boats right after the goal – as if that score absolves him for taking his teammates out of the game, and providing Vancouver with the power-play opportunities to put the Sharks away. I'll say this for Ben Eager though – he makes for a great villain – and I hope he finds a job this summer (preferably with the Oilers).
Coming into the series – many analysts, myself included – had assumed that the Sharks had a slight edge in terms of forward depth. So far this series, that hasn't been the case. The Canucks third-line has clearly out-played the Sharks third line, Pavelski and co. are playing protected minutes and still losing the battle (and giving up goals) against Lapierre's unit. The Sharks third-line is going to have to be way better.
As is their blue-line. My friend asked me yesterday, are the Sharks better this year than they were last year? I said I thought so, because I'd rather have Niemi than Nabokov, and I'd rather have Logan Couture than Rob Blake. But with Demers (who is awesome) hurt, San Jose's blue-liners are simply struggling to keep up. Mclellan better have a smart adjustment ready for Friday, because it's getting ugly for his team. That being said, I'm just not convinced that San Jose had the required defensive personnel to get the job done against Vancouver.
Finally, Antii Niemi wasn't responsible for that loss, but he had a bad game. Both of Daniels goals, Higgin's goal to put the game away, and Raymond's goal to make it 7-2, were off weak shots from the slot. Those are quality opportunities – but Niemi needs to make at least a couple of those saves. And throw out the book about beating Niemi high – the Canucks were shooting five hole all night, and it worked out very well indeed.
All of this being said – the Sharks are, despite last night's trouncing, a capable and dangerous team. The Canucks will get San Jose's best shot on Friday, so you know it will be hard-fought game. Don't go counting chickens now, Vancouver still needs two more wins to advance!
3 Big Stats:
1. VAN 6- SJ 1, Total goals for each team in the 3rd period, so far this series. This series is not long for this world, if the Sharks can't figure out how to reverse this trend over the weekend.
2. 1 goal, 1 assists, +2, 3.6 balanced corsi, 5 hits, 1 blocked shot, 1 takeaway, 5 PIM (from a fight he won). That's Kevin Bieksa's stat line from last night, pretty incredible stuff. It's becoming increasingly clear that Gillis is going to have a difficult decision to make after the post-season – Ehrhoff or Bieksa? With the way those two are playing, it's unlikely that the Canucks can fit both under the cap – unless Gillis can move Ballard (for 30 cents on the dollar).
3. .869 – Niemi's save percentage through 2 games in this series. Luongo's by the way: .917. The Canucks were said to have the edge along the blue-line and in net going into this series – and so far that has, indeed, been the case.
Three Big Moments:
1. The Bieksa goal encapsulated every advantage the Canucks have in this series. First of all, Higgins' work sitting on the bench and flagging Bieksa to "go" was brilliant. For all that Canucks haters like to go on about the teams "diving," what really sets the Canucks apart is their team communication. It's a major reason why the Canucks are able to move the puck like no other team in the league. Secondly, they "activated" one of their skilled Dmen (yes, Bieksa is a skilled Dman) who used his speed to beat every Shark down the ice and pot a sniper's goal on Niemi. Awesome.
2. I'm going to go with the Higgins goal as the second big moment, because it put the game away, and because we got to see that douche-nozzle Ben Eager take the long skate back to the bench from the box. What. A. Goon.
3. Finally, I will leave you with the most dissected moment of last night's game: the twins! (Image courtesy of Deadspin) Bonus: here's an enhanced close-up of the boobs and here's proof that Ben Eager touched himself as the boobs were thrown up against the glass. Perv.
Game 3 goes on Friday in San Jose.

Buying a mobile phone can often be a headache. We've answered a few of frequently asked questions to help aid your purchase.
What is 3G?
3G is a third-generation technology of mobile phone standards. The benefits of a 3G network as opposed to a 2G network include the ability to support greater number of both voice and data customers, and higher data rates (such as mobile Internet access). 3G networks are also capable of video calling. Telstra's Next G, Optus and Vodafone are current, Australian examples of service providers with 3G networks.
Am I better off with a pre-paid account, or a monthly billing system?
This depends on intended usage. For minimal usage, a pre-paid account is ideal as you can easily keep track of your expenditure and pay only when you need credit. If you intend to make a lot of calls, then a monthly billing system would be more appropriate, as they generally offer cheaper call rates than a pre-paid account.
What is a capped plan?
A capped plan means you only pay a certain amount per month if your usage doesn't exceed a maximum value.
What is SMS?
SMS stands for Short Message Service and is the sending of short (160 characters or less) text messages to and from mobile phones. SMS messaging is a standard feature on all mobile phones. Receiving SMS messages is free of charge, but sending them costs 25 cents across most networks in Australia. Some networks may offer discounted rates for SMS messages sent across their own network.
Can I make video calls?
Video calls can be made on a 3G network, provided your phone has a front-mounted camera for video calls and your service provider supports this feature. Video calls are usually charged at a higher rate than a regular voice call.
How do I know who is calling me?
Caller ID is a service that transmits the caller's telephone number to your mobile phone while it is ringing. Further, if the number is saved in your address book, the caller's name will display instead of just the number.
What is MMS?
MMS stands for Multimedia Messaging Service and is the sending of messages that include multimedia such as images, audio, video and text. MMS is standard on most mobile phones, and costs more than an SMS.
Can I listen to music or watch videos?
If your mobile phone includes a music and/or video player, yes. Many new phones and smartphone include these, and they allow you to store and then playback a number of multimedia files on your phone's screen.
What else can my phone do besides make phone calls?
Depending on the phone's features, it may be capable of browsing the Internet, listening to FM radio and MP3 music, recording video and voice, taking photos, and even making VoIP (Voice over IP) calls. Many smartphones also allow you to install third-party apps that will add even more features.
Do I need a hands-free kit?
In many Australian states it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle while talking on a mobile phone without a hands-free kit. There are many types of hands-free kits, from earpieces to portable Bluetooth devices and even dedicated kits that are built into your car.

On October 13, 2009, EC&M hosted a free webinar on "Arc Mitigation: A Total Systems Approach." The 1-hr event was sponsored by i-Gard, a Mississauga, Ontario, Canada-based developer and manufacturer of ground-fault protection and power-resistor-based solutions. The 45-min. presentation was led by Daleep Mohla, principal and owner of DCM Electrical Consulting Services in Missouri City, Texas.
In addition to reviewing mitigation technologies, such as arc-resistant switchgear, current-limiting devices, and thermal ionization equipment, Mohla shared his expert insight on NFPA 70E and discussed the pros and cons of high-resistance grounding (HRG) systems. The event drew more than 1,000 participants as well as an impressive number of questions submitted by attendees throughout the webinar. In fact, so many questions were posed that it took several days to follow up with attendees and provide them with answers.
As a follow-up to this webinar, we thought it would be worthwhile to present a summary of some of the more interesting Q&A items. From the magazine's viewpoint, it appears many electrical engineers, contractors, and maintenance professionals are searching for answers on how best to address the dangers of arc flash events as well as what types of arc flash mitigation technologies are available in the market. Many of the questions revolved around the use of HRG equipment and design configurations. We hope this summary will help you better understand this very important topic.
The following answers were developed by Mohla and i-Gard technical representatives.
Q. What are your thoughts on arc-proof switchgear, which a lot of vendors are offering these days? To me, when you open the panel doors to work on the gear, it defeats the purpose of arc proofing it!
A. Arc-resistant switchgear is designed to contain the energy produced by an arcing event and to direct that energy away from personnel operating the switchgear. If compartment doors are open — or if panels are removed — the energy can no longer be directed away from personnel. It is also possible to have arc-resistant switchgear that is protected by arc flash mitigation relays. This combination not only helps minimize arc flash damage, but also allows you to place the damaged section of switchgear back in service more quickly.
Q. Does the NEC make any references on where I can use HRG systems?
A. Section 250.36 of the NEC allows the use of HRG on systems up to 1,000V. Make sure you note the three conditions that are listed. Section 250.186 allows HRG at higher voltages.
Q. What are your thoughts or recommendations regarding the placement of 480V drives or motor starters in the same control panel as PLC and network-type equipment?
A. You may find your customers requesting that control equipment and 480V drives or any other 480V equipment be placed in different compartments or enclosures to ensure that the personnel operating or testing the PLC and/or network equipment will not need to wear personal protective equipment (PPE).
Q. Why is HRG considered a method to reduce arc flash hazard, since the IEEE 1584 equations for arc flash incident energy and all IEEE group testing are based on 3-phase bolted fault currents?
A. HRG is considered an arc flash mitigation technique in NFPA 70E and CSA Z462, because it reduces the risk of developing arcing faults from phase-to-ground faults. According to our research, anywhere from 80% to 98% of all electrical faults begin as ground faults.
Q. Where is the best place to locate a pressure arc detection device?
A. There are several places where you can locate a pressure sensor. You can install them in the cable compartment, bus compartment, or breaker compartment. You can also place these pressure sensors in the SF6 bottles of a circuit breaker.
Q. Why is the relay detection time so important, especially when the circuit breaker opening time for medium-voltage units can be as high as eight cycles in the instantaneous setting range?
A. It has been documented that if the duration of an arcing fault is less than 100 msec, then the energy produced by the fault will not burn through the steel enclosure. Eight cycles in an instantaneous setting range is 133 msec. So if the breaker opening time (plus the detection system) is less than 100 msec, then less damage is likely to occur.
Q. Does installation of an HRG system introduce any problems with selective coordination of the power system?
A. The installation of an HRG system actually assists in selective coordination. With HRG, you do not have to trip on the occurrence of a ground fault. You can also prioritize up to 50 feeders and selectively trip the feeder of lower priority on the occurrence of a second fault.
Q. What is the difference between a pressure detector and an optical detector? Is one of these devices more selective than the other?
A. The main difference between an optical sensor and a pressure sensor is the time it takes for the respective device to detect and operate on the occurrence of an arc. The light produced from an arc travels at the speed of light and can be detected in less than 1 msec. The pressure wave produced from an arc propagates at the speed of sound. A pressure detector is typically a mechanical device that will react to a pressure difference in 8 msec to 18 msec. In both cases, the total reaction time, including detection and actuation of the circuit-isolating device, will be less than the 100-msec guideline for minimizing equipment damage.
Q. How do you determine the continuous current rating of a neutral grounding resistor?
A. The continuous current of a continuously rated neutral grounding resistor is equal to the system line-to-neutral voltage divided by the ohmic value of the resistor. The continuous current should be equal to or greater than the system capacitive charging current. The formula is as follows: INGR = VLN ÷ R (considering INGR ≥ IC, where IC is the system charging current).
Q. If most arc faults start out as single phase-to-ground faults, will an HRG system really be effective?
A. HRG will be extremely effective in this case. The high-resistance device will limit the fault current to a low value (i.e., 5A or 10A), as opposed to tens of thousands of amperes. This will impede the progress of the arc, and the fault will remain as a single phase-to-ground fault instead of propagating into a phase-to-phase or 3-phase fault.
Q. Are arc flash requirements applied to low-voltage switchgear and motor control centers (i.e., 480V systems) or mostly medium-voltage equipment?
A. While arc flash requirements are more commonly applied to medium-voltage equipment, given the higher incident energy levels available on today's systems, they can be effectively applied to many 480V and 600V systems.
Q. Does HRG reduce the amount of arc flash energy in a phase-to-phase fault?
A. No, HRG will not limit the fault current in a phase-to-phase fault. It will only limit the fault current of a single phase-to-ground fault and reduce the risk of this type of fault developing into a phase-to-phase fault.
Q. Where should HRG configurations be installed?
A. HRG systems can be employed in networks that do not have a distributed neutral. Thus, they can be used on 480V, 600V, 2,400V and 4,160V systems. You can employ an HRG design on higher voltage systems, but consult with a professional engineer that has experience in this type of design prior to venturing down this path.
One limitation of the HRG system is that line-to-neutral loads cannot be served. Therefore, you will need to determine what percentage of the load is served by line-to-neutral voltages and estimate the cost of adding a transformer in the circuit to service these loads.
Q. Does an HRG system have an effect on the normal operation of the network?
A. The HRG system does not have any effect on normal short circuits or arc flash events, unless they are normal single phase-to-ground faults. In this case, the HRG system will limit the fault current and prevent further damage and destruction.
Q. Should we focus on the line side or load side of a breaker when calculating the potential arc flash energy levels?
A. It depends on which side of the breaker you are working on. If you are working on the breaker itself, you should consider the nearest protective upstream device when making your calculations.
Q. Would you go so far as to say that a resistance grounded system is always superior to a solidly grounded system, or is there a place for both? Mostly what I see in use is the conventional 277/480V, 3-phase, 4-wire solidly grounded power system.
A. There will always be a place for both, as HRG is prohibited where there are neutral loads. For example, you will never see a 120/208V HRG system. However, if you have a 277/480V system and 20% to 30% of your load consists of 277V lighting equipment, you may consider using an HRG design. But if 70% to 80% of your load is rated 277V, then you should not consider an HRG design. The bottom line is there are many variables that come into play when making this type of decision. Therefore, you'll still need to consider arc flash mitigation protection on both types of systems.
Q. When using an HRG system, how can you be sure the equipment will clear a line-to-ground fault before a phase-to-phase arc fault occurs?
A. The benefit of an HRG system is that you do not have to clear a line-to-ground fault quickly. The equipment and tools are available for you to determine the location of the fault in a reasonable time. If you are concerned with clearing the first fault before a second fault occurs, you can install relays that will detect this scenario and automatically isolate one of the faults in a timely manner so that only one ground fault is present on the system at any given time. You can also set the system up to isolate the fault with the lowest priority.

Conservative authorities have been involved in six times as many sales as those of other parties since May 2010
Conservative-led councils have been responsible for selling six times as many playing fields as other parties – despite the government's promise to use the Olympics to create a sporting legacy for children.
Of the 35 applications for school playing areas to be sold off since May 2010, 30 of the schools were from Tory council areas, four in Labour-run authorities, and one Liberal Democrat, said the Labour party.
Labour also claims that in the five cases in which the Conservative education secretary, Michael Gove, overruled the advice of the independent expert panel on the issue, the local authority making the appeal was Conservative-led.
Stephen Twigg, the shadow education secretary, said: "Of course, the real blame for these sales lies with Michael Gove and the government, who have cut the schools capital budget by two thirds.
"It is not surprising that in order to deal with real pressure on school places and plug holes in their budgets, some schools are considering putting classrooms on pitches or selling fields to developers."
Writing on the ConservativeHome website on Sunday, John Bald, an education consultant, defended the Tories' record, saying that of the five schools where Gove had overruled the expert panel, one application was withdrawn, two were from schools that had relocated and no longer needed their old grounds, one was a piece of land that had not previously been used for sport, and one was a sloping area of wasteland – though the latter case was more contentious, and no final decision had been made, noted Bald.
Sales of school playing pitches are a long-running issue: it has been reported that between 1997 and 2010 Labour governments oversaw the sales of more than 200, and from 1979 to 1997 successive Conservative administrations were in charge when 10,000 pitches were sold.
Gove has also relaxed rules on the minimum outdoor space that schools must provide for team games.
Campaigners fear that the new rules – which were approved on the eve of the Olympic Games – will pave the way for the further sell-offs of playing fields and endanger the ability of schools to provide sport for future generations of children.
The Olympic gold medal-winning cyclist Dani King told the Mail on Sunday this weekend: "Playing fields are training venues for future Olympians. They can be used by runners to prepare for competitions during school time.
"Although playing fields didn't affect my cycling training, they played a part in helping to keep me fit and that definitely helped me to get where I am.
"It would be a shame if children today didn't have the same opportunities. Closing playing fields is going to have a negative effect on kids, it's sending the wrong message to them.
"They aren't doing enough exercise these days and that is only going to get worse if they don't have anywhere to do it," she said.
A government source said: "This is just the usual hypocrisy from Labour. Andy Burnham has admitted that playing fields do have to be sold to develop sporting facilities. The bottom line is that this government has only approved sales if the school has closed, has merged or if equal or better facilities are being put in their place."

Melges 32s Set To Let The Good Times Roll At Nationals In Newport
13 August 2014
Newport, R.I. - The North American Melges 32 fleet is looking forward to an amazing event this weekend for the ninth running of its U.S. National Championship. Hosted by Sail Newport, based at the Newport Shipyard and strongly supported by Melges USA, championship racing is scheduled to take place over three days beginning Friday, August 15 with PRO Anderson Reggio at the helm.
Nine dynamic teams are in attendance, ready to compete for one of the continent's most coveted Melges 32 titles. Among them is reigning World and defending U.S. National Champion Jason Carroll and his Argo team — a presence that is noticeably competitive on the race course and off. With a fresh and youthful semi-new crew list, Anthony Kotoun takes over tactical duties for Argo in Newport.
In the opposite corner are a host of teams that are equally capable of taking on the challenge. Richard Goransson's Inga From Sweden with Morgan Larson as tactician has been growing ever-the-more fine tuned while racing on the European circuit, and is now ready to have a go at the open title.
Former U.S. National Champion Ryan DeVos on Volpe, along with his cousin Dalton DeVos on Delta always come prepared. For the first time ever in the Melges 32 Class, America's Cup Champion Skipper James Spithill will race, calling tactics alongside Ryan. Dalton remains the youngest helm in the fleet and well supported by the extraordinary Jonathan McKee as tactician.
2014 Spring Challenge winner and 2012 World Champion John Kilroy on Samba Pa Ti will also be present, fully equipped with steady tactician Paul Goodison.
The Melges 32 Class is thrilled to have Malcolm Gefter's Celeritas and most especially, Michael Dominguez's Bronco back on the track — both brilliant competitors in their own right. Chris Wientjes with his wildly fun and charismatic Stormvogel team from Louisiana, have come to play and race hard. Newcomer Rob Wilber on Cinghiale, known best for his very active racing program in the Audi Melges 20 class, is sailing the Melges 32 for the very first time this weekend.
The 2014 U.S. National Championship is just the first step toward the World Championship taking place on December 3-7 where more than twenty-five teams are expected to compete. Prior to and playing the part of a perfect lead up series — the Coconut Grove Sailing Club Cup happens in October (17-19) and the Gold Cup Regatta in November (7-9), all in Miami.
Each day, the IM32CA will bring the latest news, results, pictures and more from the course as the action is happening. Please visit the class Facebook page for constant updates. Be sure to follow the Melges 32 on Instagram.

Another slot game from the DC comic universe, the Flash is a streaking and fast blur among all the other games. True to his name, The Flash will make the wins come quick and fast, with no time to spare. As he speeds across the 5 reel 50 paylines creating winning combinations, it's time to keep your wallets open.
The Flash symbols
Staying true to the comic book, you have the comic styled images of The Flash, thunderbolts and the card symbols as part of the symbols collection. The face-off between The Flash and his enemies is an interesting one, with the Mirror Master, Gorilla Grodd and Captain Cold showing up on the reels.
Game Features
The Flash is a 5 reel 50 payline slot game from the Crytologic. As it is seen with almost all of its slot games, the Bonus Bet feature gives you 10 extra paylines to play, for an additional cost. In combination with the bonus scatters, it usually triggers the bonus game of the slot game.
Wilds: The Flash symbol is the wild symbol which, besides replacing the regular symbols will also pay the top paying prize of 10,000 coins. All the wins when the Flash substitutes will get a 3x multiplier.
Scatters: The scattered logo of the game will show up anywhere on the reels and pay the scatter wins. You can win up to 100 times the wagered bets, when it is seen across the reels.
The Flash has another arsenal up his sleeve. When the Bonus Bet is enabled, you have an extra 10 paylines to play the game. Any wins obtained by The Flash substituting are multiplied 5 times. Plus the scatter wins are multiplied by 50 times and the line bet.
The total 60 paylines guarantees that you can play the bonus feature of the game. To trigger the Rouge Feature you must land 3 or more of the bonus Thunderbolt symbol on the reels. You can play 12 free games and all the wins are multiplied by 10 times, whenever the Flash substitutes for the other symbols.
Basically, you can select any one of the three features – Captain Cold, Mirror Master and Gorilla Grodd and it will let you win the prizes. The Rogue feature cannot be re-triggered.
Min / Max Bet per spin (£/$/€): 0.01 – 2.0
Jackpots (£/$/€): 10,000 coins (base game)
Closing thoughts
The Flash is fast and quick. It is the perfect slot game to make the wins come in regularly. For the comic book fans, it's a dream come true for their superhero to come alive albeit only in the slots world.

Natural Remedies for Depression
Finding the right natural depression remedy may seem overwhelming. Hundreds of supplements and remedies are marketed as depression cures, but despite the claims of the companies selling these products, the majority deliver lots of hype but little help. But effective and safe natural depression remedies do exist. So how do you recognize which options are worthwhile and which are worthless? You must judge potential natural depression remedies according to a few key considerations:
First and foremost, the best natural depression remedies are those that have been proven to relieve depression in well-designed clinical studies. Of the dozens of herbs, amino acids, and nutrients claimed to cure depression, only a handful are backed by credible scientific research.
St. John's Wort...The natural remedy for depression supported by the strongest evidence is St. John's Wort extract. Over twenty controlled clinical trials have shown that high-quality St. John's Wort effectively relieves depression. In fact, studies comparing St. John's Wort to prescription antidepressants demonstrate that it works just as well as these drugs, but with fewer side effects. With this in mind, most people should turn to high-quality St. John's Wort extract as their first choice for a depression cure, starting with a dose of 600-900mg daily and increasing to 900-1800mg per day if necessary. According to the research, only St. John's Wort extracts that are standardized to contain 3-5% hyperforin effectively relieve depression, so don't settle for products that aren't standardized for hyperforin or standardize only for another, less important compound called hypericin. Also, keep in mind that St. John's Wort usually requires at least three weeks to begin working, and may not produce its full effects for a month or two.
SAM-e...Another natural depression remedy backed by scientific evidence is SAM-e (S-adenosyl-L-methionine). The research behind SAM-e isn't as strong as the evidence for St. John's Wort, but it is nevertheless promising and suggests that SAM-e may offer certain advantages over both St. John's Wort and prescription antidepressants. SAM-e works quickly, and most people start noticing improvement in days rather than weeks. Unfortunately, the active dose of SAM-e, 800-1600mg daily, can cost $100 or more per month, making it far more expensive than other depression cures.
5-HTP...5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a third natural depression remedy shown by clinical research to treat depression effectively. 5-HTP, an amino acid, allows your body to increase levels of serotonin, a mood-related neurotransmitter, in the brain. Low serotonin levels have been linked to depression, and many prescription antidepressants work by increasing serotonin activity. For most people, taking 50-300mg of 5-HTP per day helps improve mood in just a few weeks without causing side effects. Some websites discuss concerns over the safety of 5-HTP, but these misconceptions are unfounded. In fact, 5-HTP has an excellent safety record, and extensive research has shown it to be one of the safest natural depression remedies available. 5-HTP is a good choice for a natural depression remedy when used alone, but it may work best as a natural depression remedy when combined with St. John's Wort.
Other popular natural depression remedies include herbs such as Ginseng and Ginkgo, amino acids like l-tyrosine and phenylalanine, and certain nutrients including B vitamins. In general, the evidence behind these remedies is still inconclusive, although Ginseng and Ginkgo have been shown to work as natural depression remedies in the elderly.
In summary, the best natural remedies for depression are those containing proven ingredients in the proper doses and potencies and manufactured with strict quality-control procedures.
