Unplug and Play: Pemberton and District Recreation Service hosts free Family Event, May 1Share
Apr 21, 2016
Affected Communities: Electoral Area C, Village of Pemberton
The Pemberton and District Community Centre will be hosting an Unplug and Play event on Sunday, May 1 from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm as a kickoff event to Screen Free Week.
The event is geared towards creating awareness for families on the importance of balancing technology use with time with family, creative pursuits, recreation and nature. Children today are increasingly connecting to technology and disconnecting from themselves, their close relationships, and nature. Parents are encouraged to participate.
New singing Rapunzel doll being deboxed. She is identical to last year's Singing Rapunzel, except that she sings 'I See the Light' instead of 'Healing Incantation', and the packaging is different. The Try Me feature is activated by opening the lid, and she sings 10 seconds of the song. To debox her, you have to open the bottom first, so you can unplug the Try Me wire from the front lid. Then you can lift the inner box (to which the doll is attached) from the outer box. She is attached to the inner box and plastic supports by wires, tiny T-tabs and rubber bands.
After the Try Me wire is unplugged from the back of the doll, she can now sing the 45 seconds of 'I See the Light' by sliding the lantern on her right hand. The lantern and plastic flowers in her hair light up while she sings.
I got the singing Rapunzel doll last Friday (July 22, 2016) from the Disney Store, that I ordered during the Friends and Family sale. I have yet to see her in stores (as of July 31, 2016).
Even though I'm not thrilled with the look of the new Rapunzel's box, the Try Me mechanism is rather neat. You first enable the Try Me switch by pulling a long plastic tab in the back. Then there is a switch attached to the hinge of the front cover, which is activated when you close then open the lid far enough. It will cause Rapunzel to sing about 10 seconds of I See the Light, and light up the lantern she is holding and flowers in her hair. I will post more detailed photos of Rapunzel when I debox her. I still have not seen her in stores yet. And the new singing Belle doll is nowhere to be found, either in stores or online.
Now I have singing rapunzel dolls with three different songs. ''When Will My Life Begin'' (2011 - 2014), ''Healing Incantation'' (2015) and now ''I See the Light'' (2016). I wish that other of the Disney singing dolls would have such a variation in their songs.
The fact that all sides are covered by cardboard (except for the oval plastic window in front), makes the box very sturdy. In particular, all the edges and corners are really stiff, so resist damage during shipping. My doll's box came in perfect shape, which I can't say for most of the doll boxes I order from the Disney Store. The box wasn't packed any better than usual (a few airbags on the bottom of the shipping carton), but the sturdiness of the doll's box made the difference. Also this box is much thicker (deeper) than previous singing doll boxes, and even LE doll boxes, so leaves lots of room to position the doll nicely. The new construction also means the boxed doll is bulkier and heavier than previous singing dolls, so may be more costly to ship.

Special Note about this image: Here's the VARIAC type of device that I'm using. Allows me to output a nice sine wave from 0 to about 300 volts AC. This is output directly to the Lichtenberg Device. The microwave oven transformer has a 10 to 1 output ratio on its high tension secondary. You can do the maths!
I've also gotten into the habit of turning the voltage down to zero when I turn off the device whenever I need to move the electrodes. When I turn it back on, I ramp up the voltage gradually so as to stop any surges.
Main notes:
This is my home brew Lichtenberg Pyrography Machine.
The first thing I MUST say is that this is a very dangerous device. The voltages used in this device can KILL!!! I am not being over dramatic. This device is bloody DANGEROUS. I do not recommend that you make one.
OK, now that I've mentioned the necessary serious stuff, let's have a look at the device itself.
It's basically made up of a few basic parts.
First there is a microwave oven transformer which converts 240 volts AC to about 2,400 volts AC. That's the bit that can KILL.
The secondary high tension winding of the transformer is then attached to a couple of leads, which are in turn connected to some electrodes. The electrodes are the things that allow the machine to do its pyrographic magic.
A couple of enhancements - I'm running the unit through a VARIAC type device which allows me to control the burn effect.
Also, I've attached a couple of visual warning devices to tell me that the thing is on. A light which is connected to the primary winding. And a meter which is connected to the low voltage secondary via a bridge rectifier and resister. Using both of these is a type of redundancy system. But, if ever I need to touch the leads or the electrodes, I do unplug the unit first (not just turn off - UNPLUG!)
The fuse in the VARIAC is running at 3 amps while the fuse in the Lichtenberg Machine is 2amps. Hoping that the Lichtenberg Machine fuse blows before the VARIAC one does - which is generally what happens.
Lastly, I've put the thing in a box to keep the nasty electrical stuff that can kill away from me. You might also notice that the transformer body itself is also pretty well insulated. That's because it is also live!
The clear cover on the box is to let me see if there is any arcing or shorting happening.
The cables are nice thick high amperage ones - don't really need them on this device (as it is running a fairly low current) but they do look impressive! It also reminds me that there are nasty electrons in there waiting to jump out and attack any unsuspecting human that's silly enough to play with it.

Although Chris & I live blocks apart in Winnipeg, we got to spend more time connecting at Unplug'd than we do when we're at home...

Penninsula Model Railroad Club uses Cinch-Jones connectors on their corner modules to run extra feeders to the tracks and reduce voltage drops. This way they only have to plug and unplug vs. using a screwdriver to hook up extension wires and saves time.

The annual PowerPlex User Conference is packed wall-to-wall with value content. We spend a few days filling our heads with best practices, new ideas and more capabilities. So at the end of the day, we like to unplug our brains for a few hours and have some fun. We call it “PartyPlex”. It’s a chance to hang-out with all the Plex users and Plexians, engage in some friendly competition and raise money for one of our favorite charities.
This year’s PartyPlex took place at the new Dallara IndyCar Racing Experience in Speedway, Indiana. Attendees experienced the thrill of racing with laps in the cockpit of a street legal IndyCar, behind the wheel of racing simulator games and around the minicar track. There was plenty of good food, drink and music to go around.
This year’s focus charity was the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan. Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with joy. We think it’s a remarkable organization. We were delighted to raise more than $21,000 to support their efforts with the PartyPlex Silent Auction and games.
Learn more about the Make-A-Wish Foundation at www.wishmich.org
The event was sponsored by Plex Systems and Plante Moran. Please visit them at plex.com and plantemoran.com
