I feel the need to weigh in... Haven't seen them in years and was hoping they would play!
In no particular order and honestly this doesn't even cover it (too many great songs):
Regular John...
And agreed.
Justin Martin has residency at Exchange in LA...just saying. I don't think they'll be at coachella either.
Agreed. I really hope this doesn't happen.
So excited for this!! I had friends that went to there last minute show at the Roxy... They were in town driving by, said "hmm that looks like a cool place to play. Let's play there tonight." They...
I saw them at FYF too and I thought that their visual set up was amazing... crazy psychedelic! I actually didn't even want to see them but was pleasantly surprised. I've seen them play a few times,...
Singer reminds me of Marc Bolan. Stoked on this
Wind of Change is my guilty pleasure. Carry on..
Drums. Chanting. Drums... A dance circle begins. Hoping for this!
Saw them at FYF over last summer, sunset...it was magical. J killed it!
I never thought I would get to see them! Huge fan and yes looking forward for a respectful, quiet, in awe crowd!!!!
I don't get the headliners either but whatever
I am so exciiiiited! Dead Can Dance, Sigur Ros, Lou Reed, New Order!!!!!
Hoping to see the following carry over here (besides the ones already discussed): Dead Can Dance, Swans, and Dexy's. I wish it would just come out so I can stop obsessing!!!!!
I wish this could come true! Reminiscing about my Seattle grunge days...sigh
Agreed... I've seen them enough. Love them but they just did the whole Dark Side tour last year. I don't see them headlining but I know nothing about this.
So The Flaming Lips performing "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots?" They just did that musical in La Jolla so maybe they're using the same props? I love the Lips but as a headliner? Maybe I'm...
See you don't even keep track of what you say. Just like there is no reasoning with a sack of bricks there is no sense going on responding to your idiotic rebuttals. Your signature describes you...
I love this and I hope we are surprised.
I think it's funny that you have to change your argument to try and refute what we've been saying here. You were arguing that old acts don't belong at Coachella. Nobody was talking about...
I disagree on so many levels. Sure there are young kids wandering aimlessly but who cares?? Some of the most best concerts I've seen were "older" acts... Prince, Roger Waters, Paul Weller. That's...
This is what I miss too! I feel like the art installations used to be so much more interactive. Remember the gnome tent, where you would wave your hand in front of the little gnomes and they would...
Yes saw them at Coachella in 2007 as well but only caught half the set. I am really looking forward to this! I'll have to check out their new stuff.
...and I wanted so badly for this to be true
I wish I had a pizza and a bottle of wine
Love the build up...
I would give them another chance. Saw them recently at FYF Fest and was blown away. They've really gotten better in the last couple of years. Check out their new album or at least walk by and give...
Nice find! Couldn't you just imagine the Sahara all grooving along in harmony?! Maybe they'll have the rollerskating rink again this year. Seriously had a blast dancing to disco there at 2am...sigh
I would bring at least two options, if not three. I usually rotate shoes from one day to the next and my feet thank me. Also I always wear tennis shoes (Reeboks, Asics...) because I need to dance. ...
Agreed... I think it's one of Coachella's hidden treasures
People are going to go ape shit! Guuuhhh can't wait!!!!!!!!!!
Please tell me that I'm not the only one freaking out about this!
Yes, their live stuff is amazing. I was just burning my friend that very cd earlier this evening.
I'm pretty excited to see this as well!!
Or even Pnau would be awesome!!
i don't think that they would do that either... hopefully
super excited about the new album! i've seen them twice and thought they were great both times. can't wait to see them again.
yes yes yes!!! this was one of the main bands that i hoped would be playing this year. i have tried to see them in years passed but have never made it out. i am in love with midnight boom and...
So happy about the line up and will be there all three days!!! I can hardly contain my excitement!
lol. well stated... aww color me badd. i think i had that cassette, hah.
i didn't know that they are playing in april. thank you for letting us know!
i'm excited for this as well and have always wanted to see his spoken word shows. his show on ifc is hilarious and usually right on with his opinion.
i agree, her voice is amazing and i could care less what she does. however, it's a bummer when the singer can hardly get through the song or has to cut it short.
that would be great if he did. i saw the rest of the members of the jam play last year and had chills the whole time. they played every song i wanted to hear. back to paul... he is one of my...
they just headlined... as much as i love them, i just don't think that this will happen.
i agree... they are much better live!

UK makes complete FIST of hi-tech soldiering
Shop online for tomorrow's fighting technology - today
Posted in Policy, 5th February 2007 15:08 GMT
Analysis Anyone who likes gadgets should give some thought to joining the infantry. Okay, the pay is peanuts, the work is grim, you'll have to live in a baking fortified camp in Southwest Asia, where you might easily get blown up, shot, or have to strip naked and fight your buddies with rollmats. But you will get some neat toys. Already the soldiery have thermal imagers, night sights, headset radios, and a military wireless network called Bowman.
And this existing gear is old hat, it seems. As well as Bowman, the British army has a project called FIST, or Future Integrated Soldier Technology. FIST doesn't include any actual weapons. It is meant "to provide an intergrated fighting system in order to improve the operational effectiveness of individuals".
The idea is that FIST will kit our lads out with a helmet-mounted heads-up display, gunsight, and helmet cameras with various kinds of imaging, GPS mapping, and probably laser range finding. All this will be tied into the Bowman network using a secure wireless link. So the squaddie of tomorrow (well, the squaddie of 2015 - if the programme runs to schedule) will be able, as they say, to "Do Amazing Things".
He'll be able to point his rifle round a corner and see the picture from its gunsights. He'll have a moving-map navigation display at last. A mere 10 years or so after minicab drivers got them. Not only will he know where he is, but so will his various bosses. Perhaps best of all, our soldier can potentially ping an enemy tank with his rangefinder and send the target coordinates out on the network. This will permit some kind of major bad news to fall out of the sky on that exact spot - a smart bomb, a salvo of artillery, or a cruise missile.
Interestingly, under current plans our soldier's basic pay will still be about £14k pa. This, despite the fact that he's doing a literally life and death, mission-critical job, personally carrying well over a hundred grand's worth of stuff and perhaps directing other things which cost tens of millions. His pension scheme is good, of course, but the sting in the tail is that the army can, and often does, throw you out after 22 years - so, in fact, most soldiers don't get the kind of pleasant retirement that, say, policemen or firefighters do. In the case of infantrymen, they're also significantly less likely to live that long.
Funnily enough, the infantry has always had recruiting difficulties. These days it's getting hard to find anyone at all, in the UK, anyway, willing to sign up. The army hasn't yet reached the point of formally outsourcing, but it does hire an awful lot of people overseas.
Any of this sound familiar to IT professionals?
Still, maybe things aren't all bad. At least a tightfisted employer like the army must be keen on value for money when it comes to sourcing the hardware – which would be good news for UK taxpayers.
Well, you might think so: but you'd be wrong. The FIST programme is to cost a cool £2bn for 29,000 sets of kit, putting each package at £70,000. The gear is supposed to be up and running around 2015. In defence-procurement terms £70,000 is chickenfeed, of course. But it would buy a pretty sexy set of gadgets, right now, off the shelf. Retail, actually.
A UMPC needn't cost more than £1,000. Even a pointlessly expensive, ruggedised mil-spec job with built-in GPS, lots of software and 3G connectivity doesn't go more than £4,000, and it might well be easier to put ordinary machinery in a suitable case. You want a heads-up display, to mount on the safety eyewear already being issued? £1,400 tops. Tough waterproof video cameras? From £100. Binoculars which will mark targets for your GPS-enabled computer? To you, sir, £2,000. It won't be long before you can buy a thermal-imaging version: the US Marines already have, at just over £6,000 per unit, over a year ago. How about a nifty thermal-imaging gunsight/helmet visor which can feed its image to your UMPC and heads-up display: just £7,000. Let's top things off with a laser-dot and tactical lamp gizmo to go under our rifle barrel.
Some of this stuff is potentially a bit delicate for field use, but in fact it's probably at least as robust as most of the gear on current issue. If troops genuinely like or need something, they'll manage to preserve it. A paper map, after all, is scarcely very rugged. Nor is an ordinary cellphone. Nor is a standard issue sleeping bag, which left to itself will become useless every time it rains. But soldiers need these things to stay alive, so they look after them.
Off-the-shelf weapons add-ons won't attach easily to the current SA80 rifle as they stand. One could equip the SA80 with standard picatinny mounting rails, of course, but it's never been all that popular even after its latest expensive refit. Why not just get a trendy new rifle that already has picatinny rails, like the Diemaco C8 favoured by the special forces, or the Heckler and Koch G36 recently selected by the London cops. Even the MoD admits that it couldn't cost more than £2,500 per weapon. Funny, that. As recently as 2001 the MoD said it couldn't afford £2,500 per man for new rifles – hence it made sense to stick with the wildly unpopular SA80 – but just a few years later the brass find that they've got £70,000-plus per man for electronics and optics. Must have left it under the sofa cushions or something.
Anyway. Now we need to hook up our soldier to the Bowman network. Theoretically, there's at least one Bowman node in each four-man team already, but the team leader's Bowman radio doesn't seem to be what you'd call a massive success. The higher echelon, mostly vehicle-mounted parts of the Bowman network are said to be reasonably functional at long last and great cost, but foot soldiers have been heard to suggest that "BOWMAN" must stand for "Better Off With Map And Nokia". Unsurprisingly, the MoD has a separate project called Integrated Soldier System (ISS) which is supposed to connect FIST into Bowman at some level above the four-man team, presumably cutting out the unpopular, extremely heavy team leader radio.
Given that most of our boys seem to wind up using cellphones anyway, we might as well go with the flow. A 3G datacard comes included with some UMPCs, or is easily slotted in. Backhaul will be available at the various higher-level Bowman nodes scattered across the battlefield or in the sky above it, and commercial pico/microcell hardware is insignificant in weight and power consumption compared to Bowman. An off the shelf solution shouldn't be difficult at all within the ISS funding.
We're pretty much there. Chuck in £20,000 per soldier for software, cables, belt pouches and so on, and another few grand for AA batteries and black masking tape. Job done, using retail gear which is available right now, for an absolute maximum of £45,000 per man. And it seems reasonable to suggest that one might get some kind of discount buying in these quantities.
So actually a unit price of £70,000 for delivery by 2015 starts to look pretty unimpressive. The more so as the FIST project team has actually been up and running for 13 years now. The cost-consciousness the army exhibits when hiring its people doesn't extend to the way it buys its equipment. Even if FIST comes in on time and budget, it would be hard to see it as anything other than behind the times, overpriced, and overcomplicated. The shooting-round-corners bit is fairly comical, for a start. Anybody who's ever fired a rifle knows that you need more than a sight picture – you also need to be able to control your weapon, which means having the butt against your shoulder.
In fact, the only people likely to be genuinely happy with FIST are the vendors. To a jaded and cynical eye, FIST looks not unlike an attempt by the UK defence sector to monetise the last part of the armed forces that wasn't bringing them any significant revenue. Even a more positive commentator will find it hard to describe FIST as impressive, certainly by the time it actually appears. Already one can buy something just as good, retail, for much less cash. By 2015, FIST is going to look like shocking value for money.
All in all, the average UK taxpayer might well prefer at least some of his or her £2bn spent on the soldiers rather than the hardware. They seem like the part of the system most in need of investment.®

Madison Ave. Crosses Fingers for Murray, Djokovic Victories
Executives at ESPN and on Madison Avenue will be holding their breath on Friday as tennis fan favorites Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic play for the right to compete in Sunday's Wimbledon men's final.
Most of the top-seeded players on both the women's and men's side suffered upset losses earlier in the tournament, including Maria Sharapova, defending women's champion Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal and defending men's champion Roger Federer. As a result, Messrs. Murray and Djokovic, due to play in separate semifinals on Friday, are the only two well-known players of either gender left.
If neither makes it to the final, ESPN, which is airing the tournament in the U.S., could have a "ratings disaster" on its hands, said Brad Adgate, director of research at Horizon Media, an independent media buying firm in New York.
Media buyers say if ratings drop significantly ESPN could have to give marketers additional ad time to make up for the shortfalls.
A spokeswoman for ESPN, which is majority-owned by Walt Disney Co. , said "we anticipate a very exciting conclusion."
So far the tournament's ratings have been soft. Through its first six days of broadcast, on ESPN and its sibling channel ESPN2, the audience averaged 598,000 viewers, down from about 640,000 a year earlier, according to Nielsen Co.
Advertisers are particularly hoping for Mr. Murray to make it to Sunday's final. He has a "good story" line that can keep audiences interested, said Sam Sussman, a media buyer at Starcom, a unit of Publicis Groupe SA . The Scotsman, who eked out a victory in his quarterfinal on Wednesday, is trying to become the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win Wimbledon. He was the runner-up to Roger Federer at Wimbledon last year.
Advertisers like tennis because it tends to be watched by more-affluent consumers, ad buyers say, and like all sports is usually watched live so consumers can't skip the ads.
Still, television audiences for the sport have fallen from highs of around eight million in the 1980s, when famous matchups between stars like Bjorn Borg, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Boris Becker and Martina Navratilova drew viewers.
Last year, ESPN, which picked up the U.S. broadcast rights for Wimbledon from Comcast Corp's NBC in 2011, had an average of 3.9 million viewers tune in to see Mr. Federer beat Mr. Murray in the men's final match, according to Nielsen. A year earlier an average of 2.7 million TV viewers watched Mr. Djokovic beat Mr. Nadal, according to Nielsen.
The audience for the women's final match, which in recent years at least has tended to lag the men's, averaged 1.7 million last year, down from a 2011 average of 2.2 million, Nielsen said.

Perceval ou le Conte del Graal (Story of the Grail) was written by Chrétien de Troyes in the court of Philip of Alsace, Count of Flanders. The exact date of its composition is not certain: it is speculated that it was probably written between 1181, when Philip of Flanders was at the height of his power, and prior to the count's death in 1191 (terminus ante quem given by Philip's death on crusade in Acre). Although the prologue implies that the story of the Grail existed in an oral and written form before Chrétien wrote his romance, this version is the earliest known version of the tale. The story, left unfinished by Chrétien, begins after a short prologue in praise of Count Philip of Flanders and extolling …

The Edinburgh-based insurance group said it hoped to benefit from changes in the UK market by increasing the volume of business it handles in areas such as corporate pensions.
Standard Life
Its stance contrasts sharply with Prudential – which is looking to expand its Asian operations by buying AIG's Asian business for $35.5bn (£23.6m) – and Aviva, which has identified continental Europe as its most important market for growth.
David Nish, who took over as Standard Life's chief executive in January, said the company expected to make market gains as UK companies moved out of final salary pension schemes into defined contribution plans, an area Standard Life operates in.
He added that the 2012 UK pension reforms – which will see employees automatically enrolled into their existing employers' pension scheme or into a new system of personal accounts – would also encourage more businesses to turn to providers like Standard Life to oversee their company pension schemes.
"There are currently £1.4 trillion pensionable assets in the UK and we are well positioned to exploit this market," Mr Nish added. "For example, we are the market leader in corporate pension schemes with £17bn of pension assets in the UK and hope to grow this over the next few years."
Mr Nish's comments were made as Standard Life swung to a full-year pre-tax profit of £419m from a £406m loss last year. This was driven by the absence of investment losses, which hit most insurance companies in 2008.
In the UK, life and pension sales – the bulk of its business – dipped 10pc to £10.2bn, mirroring its performance acrosscontinental Europe where sales fell to 23pc to £1.2bn. However, sales grew 10pc to £2.4bn in Canada, where Standard Life had 1.3m customers, and 25pc to £617m in Asia.
Elsewhere, the group's regulatory surplus capital remained strong at £3.6bn, allowing the company to lift its final dividend 5pc to 8.09p, payable on May 28.
Mr Nish revealed the company planned to make £100m in cost saving over the next two years, but insisted these would be made through technological advancements rather than job losses.

Because my last employer was upset about me winning my appeal, and in which he refused to correct events that didn't occur to get me terminated but stated they occurred, fraudulently wording the report to keep me from working and keep me from getting unemployment compensation. I said to myself "I don't think so". I won my appeal but when I go to apply for a new job my last employer's report haunts me and remember I did nothing wrong to be terminated and I have a Judge's signature to back it up.
But unfortunately, it has been hard for me to get a job and I've had to rely on emergency unemployment compensation to this day until someone really sees that I am a hard worker which I am.
That's why the EUC must be reinstated as fast as possible.

What is the life span of solar lights?
Many times the question pops up regarding the life span of solar powered lights. How does one ensure the best performance and prolong the life of solar lights? After a while, you might notice that your solar lights are not as bright as when you first bought them. And without knowing the basics of solar lights, you may become confused about what exactly happened. Could it be that your solar lights got old and need to be recycled or is there something that you just need to know about the maintenance of your solar powered products?
Solar lights need four essential components to function:
1. A rechargeable battery to store the power generated by the energy from the sun.
2. A small photovoltaic cell or solar array that captures sunlight during the day and converts it into electrical energy. The solar array is usually built right into the light fixture. Some light designs have separate solar arrays connected by a thin wire allowing the light to be located in a shady area while the solar array itself is placed in a bright, sunny location.
3. A "charge controller" to ensure the batteries don't get overcharged in bright sunlight as well as to monitor the amount of light in the surrounding area and turn the LED (light emitting diode) light on and off.
4. An LED (or a series of LEDs) which provides the light.

Rechargeable Solar Light Batteries are the major cause of failure in solar garden lights (5 main reasons why your solar lights are not performing as well as new.)
Rechargeable solar batteries will self-discharge which means that over time the batteries will discharge to a point where they no longer work.
It is important to ensure you charge your solar lights at least every three (3) months to ensure the battery stays in good shape and lasts its life span, generally 1-2 years.
Replace your old batteries when they run their life cycle.
When you purchase your solar lights, the rechargeable batteries are often already included in the fixture. After 1-2 years (or a matter of months in some cases) it is quite normal to see their performance decline. Once you notice that the lighting time is considerably diminishing and the lights are not as bright as before, it's probably time to replace your rechargeable solar garden light batteries.
Another reason of reduced lighting time and brightness can also be that the solar light batteries are not charging correctly.
For the best charging performances the solar panel needs to be cleaned on a regular basis. Dust and other accumulated residues can considerably affect the charging procedure. They form a coating layer on the solar panel and block the sunlight.
10-Pack NiCd AA600mAh 1.2V Rechargeable Batteries at http://www.yoursolarlink.com.
Image by Your Solar Link.
An easy way to check if the rechargeable batteries are dead is to test them by briefly replacing them with regular batteries, just long enough to check if the light is working. If you are testing the solar light during the day, don't forget to cover it, or place the light in a darkened room. This will allow the photocell to trigger the light to its "on" position. If the solar light turns on with normal batteries it means that the rechargeable batteries are faulty and you will need to buy a new set.
Important: don't forget to pay particular attention to the location of the solar lights.
Batteries will not charge properly if the solar panel is in the shade, they rely on the energy of the sun to charge.
There is another simple test you can do before replacing the solar light rechargeable batteries. Place your solar lights under direct sunshine for a day or two and see what happens. If, after this duration, the illumination time is back to normal, it means that the solar panel was not getting enough light from the sun. Commonly, solar lights should be in direct sunlight for at least 4 hours a day to adequately charge the rechargeable batteries.
If you store your solar lights for long periods of time, take the batteries out!
When you had to store your garden solar lights for a long period of time (during winter months, for example), did you take out the batteries? If you did, your solar light batteries will have a longer life span.
10-Pack NiMH AA1000mAh 1.2V Rechargeable Batteries at http://www.yoursolarlink.com.
Image by Your Solar Link.
Replacing solar light batteries is not a difficult task.
All you have to do is to locate the solar light battery cover, remove it, take out the defective batteries and replace them with new ones. If no battery cover can be found, the solar light needs to be taken apart, usually with one or two screws. On most models you'll find the screws on the top or bottom of the light. Once the unit is open you'll have access to the batteries.
Types of rechargeable batteries.
Most solar garden lights need between 1 to 4 batteries to work. 2 types of batteries are usually used in garden solar lights: AA size – NiCad(Nickel Cadmium) 1.2 V / 500 to 900mA, and AA size – NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) 1.2 V /1000 to 2000mA.
When it is time to change the solar light rechargeable batteries, the choice of battery also plays an important part in ensuring the enhanced performance of your solar lights.
Nickel-metal hydride batteries (NiMH) will have up to three times more capacity than the same size Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery, meaning they are capable of lasting longer and more reliable.
NiMH batteries in your solar lights may cost a little extra but they are more environmentally friendly than NiCd batteries. NiMH batteries are more environmentally friendly because they use a dry liquid, which can be disposed of more easily. They will also withstand greater temperature fluctuations operating in temperatures ranging from -20 to 60 degrees Celsius (-4 to 140F). Ni-MH batteries have a "non-memory effect" which means they will continue to charge on cloudy days. The battery performance will not be diminished by these partial charges, as what can occur with lead acid batteries.

Solar light replacement batteries are standard and can be found easily. If you know these solar lights basics, with minimum maintenance effort you will enjoy your solar powered lights for years.

Hi. I bought a solar light from Amazon, having never used one before. I was told that I needed to place it in direct sunlight during the day and that it would then charge up and glow at night. It has been sat on a sunny windowsill (south-facing) for several days, but nary a glimmer.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is the light faulty?
I have a path light that looks great except the solar panel is shot (plastic is cracked and crumbly). I like it enough to buy and install a new panel but cannot find any on internet. I think the problem is I need a search term that means 'little solar panel that fits in a garden light'. Can you suggest the right term so I can get past thousands of solar panels that are meant for roof tops? Thanks
Ditto!! I am surprised there does not seem to be a bigger market for photo cell replacements on these lights. They are so expensive to buy new, and throwing out a yard full of lights instead of replacing the cells seems like such a waste!
I replaced the batteries in my solar light. Then placed in sun before turning it on. When I turned it on and tested it, it worked. Light came when I covered panel and of when uncovered. I put it on the flag pole and that night it did not light. Now I check and when I switch from off to auto, when dark, it turns on for about 15 seconds. If I turn off and on again, it turns on for 15 seconds. What could be the issue? It appears to be getting a charge since the light turns on. I did move the light into more direCT sunlight but it did not improve the performance.
what is the difference between AA solar rechargeables and regular rechargeables? Do i have to buy specifically solar rechargeables to replace existing solar rechargeables
I am buying replacement batteries for my solar powered garden lights. Is there a difference between a rechargeable AAA battery and a "solar" rechargeable AAA battery?
I have a solar powered flower which was left in the on position when packed for the winter. The 12 other solar powered flowers were packed in the off position and are working fine now. The problem flower had a small illuminated light at the base of the flower which remained on the entire time as long as it was "on". After leaving it out in the sun all day it does not illuminate at night but the next morning it has the little light on at the base again. I bought a replacement battery thinking that was the issue but it behaves the same way with a new battery.. What do you think the problem is? What else can I do to trouble shoot?
Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards, Stephanie
Hi my new solar orb was working fine then we had rain and now it wont work have replaced with new battery completely dried it out any suggestion as it was expensive
I bought a dual function light / UV light (insect killer) garden solar lamp, followed all set-up instructions and it didn't work. Cause: leaking 3.2V 250mA LI-ION battery You say never to use LI-ION in place of NIMH. However, I can't find a replacement locally (in Phuket, Thailand) for my LI-ION battery, so could I use what is available, namely 1.2V 1000-2000mA NIMH instead? Stepping down the voltage shouldn't fry the circuitry or the bulb, right? But would it work??
Hi, I have two lots of fairy lights in trees in my garden, I left them switched off for a couple of days as instructed on the box. I then turned them on and for the first night or two they lit up and looked lovely then on the following night only one set worked and the following night both sets stopped working. Ive turned them off again so they might re-charge but still nothing…can you help?
Is it worth increasing the MAH up, say from 600 mAh to 800 mAh on battery replacement or is this just a waste of money? Solar cells can only produce so much power during the day. What about if you have room, soldering your own pack together, going from 2 AAA to 2 AA, same volts, mAH rating?
Can we recharge AA rechargeable batteries, intended for solar lights, with electric battery chargers?
We have several AA operated indoor led candles, in addition to the many garden and gutter solar lights that we have outside.
Do you know where I could find Nimh aa 1800 mah 4.8v? I can't seem to find them anywhere. Thanks Lana
How do you clean the plastic disk covering the solar panel? It is cloudy and the lights don't stay on as long now; what do I do to clean it?
How do you clean the plastic disk covering the solar panel
Do I have to manually charge replacement battteries before using them?
Help please. Can I replace my solar light batteries which are a mixture of 1.2V Ni-Cd and AA Ni-Mh 500 with 1000 mah AA. I am very confused.
Hello I have been using solar fairy lights for 2 months and now both sets have stopped working completely,they are getting enough sun,I have tried a normal battery in one of the sets and the bulbs did light up so I put in a rechargeable battery but is was a bit higher it is 1.2v but a 500mAh then the one that was in the set.The one in the set being NI-MH AA 300mAh 1.2v I can't find in any shop,I am hoping it's just the batteries!
I want solar lights that charge outside during the day and can be used inside during a power outage. I want at least one that is powerful enough to read by, as there isn't much else one can do during a power outage after dark. I have just spent two hours on the Internet and can't find the answer. What brand, what are the specifications, and where do I buy some.
Thanks for your help
Should I leave my solar lights switched on during the day or turn them off?
Just want to say THANK YOU! This is the best written website I have ever encountered. I can't believe I found a place that has exactly the Q and A that I needed on a topic as obscure (I thought) as why my solar lights stopped working and how do they work and whether the batteries need to be re-charged or replaced. Congrats to the team that not only knows the subject area but also knows the problems real non-experts encounter and can write clearly to describe the answer completely. BRAVO. I don't know who you all are, but I commend the writers, engineers, editors involved in the site.
Agree entirely with your comments regarding this website. Here in Bonnie Scotland I had similar problems with a solar garden ornament that I put out for this summer. Came across their site. Problems solved! Excellent.
Hi, I'm just wondering what should I do with my solar lights over the winter. Should I turn them off and leave them in the garden, or should I remove the batteries and leave the lights in the garden. What's the best approach.
thanks !
can i use normal rechargeable batteries in the place of solar rechargeable batteries
I'me trying to understand if I can use a higher capacity battery. Existing is 600 mAh. Would a 1000 damage the charger?
From what I hve read you guys are based in the US. I had problems similar to some described on your site when I put a solar garden ornament out for the summer here in Bonnie Scotland. Your site is extremely well written and informative, the amount of knowledge on your site is incredible. Well done!
Yes yes, I am having this problem too!
My garden lights worked great for months. Now they are dark but if you turn them upside down, they light up! Not all, but one, two, three maybe. What's up?
I brought a sensor solar light from amazon and after 13 days it stopped working I dont know why I think because I think I have over charged it.
can this also happen if yes then plz tell me the solution
what's the difference between solar lights and fairy lights?
Please im having an issue with my solar led garden light.when i turn it on it just blink for 1 sec and its off.when i try again it wont light up even for the sec.what do you think is the problem?
my solar light has 5 batteries in a hump connected together do you stock them.
I bought a 4 Pak of solar fence lights. Very sparse instructions. I left the lights on a chair on the covered porch for a few hours assuming they needed some exposure to sunlight for charging. The next day I installed them on the vinyl fence surrounding the patio garden. The lights came on just after dusk. The next morning I checked and some of the lights were still on at 5am, though most had turned off. That was 10 hours. The following two nights the lights haven't lasted for 3 hours after dusk. Any ideas why? I live in Florida so sunlight shouldn't be a problem although today it was overcast for the first half of the day.
I'm wondering if there is an optimum amount of time the lights need to be exposed when they are first put in use. I saw another product online that said it took up to 5 days for the lights to be exposed to enough sunlight to operate at peak performance. Could this be the case with mine? They are a 4 Pakistan of Paradise solar aluminum fence lights purchased from Costco. I also see them at eBay and Amazon.
Thanks for your insights.
Where do you get the batteries or buy them
I place solar lamp in the sun do i need to turn on the button of (off/automatic) to charge.Thank you
I bought 30 6×4 solar paver lights 2 years ago and they worked well until I started to replace batteries. Now I have 5 that will not light up with a new battery installed. I am using the same kind of battery 1.2 v . The pavers will not light up even after sitting in direct sunlight for a few days. Is there something else I should check to keep them viable?
Hi, I have four solar charged string type fairy lights and after a year of use non are operational. There is obvious water ingress into the unit housing the panel and charger with some and on others it may be the batteries have come to the end of their life.
I looked into getting replacement panels but its just too hard so I decieded to cut the wires off at the panel and connect it to a battery holder
Problem. the original unit runs off 3 AA batteries, battery cases to hold 3 batteries are unavailable from the electronic store so I to get a case for 4 batteries.
When I installed 3 batts it failed to illuminate, when I installed 4 (all alkaline non rechargeable) every other bulb lit( 1 on 1 off 1 on) with the bulbs being a lot brighter than they originally were. Could you tell me what could be the cause of this .
Hi, I've been buying Homebrite solar pathway lights for many years because I love the warm white light they came out with before most other companies. I bought NiMh bats to replace the older Ni-Ca dead ones this year and only on the older ones do they work correctly. On the newer ones they lights come on but wont shut off and I'm baffled. I've been rebuilding these and adding to my collection every year and I can't figure out where the sensor is and if its a sensor problem or what could be different. Any comments or help would be appreciated. I can't understand the problem.

(Kitco News) - Technical-chart oriented selling, weakness in outside markets and an apparent unusually large sell order are all being blamed for the tumble in gold futures Wednesday.
Some look for bargain hunting to emerge at support near the session lows to maybe $20 to $30 below.
As of 11:18 EST, December gold was $28.60, or 1.7%, lower to $1,713.70 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract slipped as far as $1,705.50, its lowest level since Nov. 15.
A couple of traders said the move did not appear to be tied to any fresh news.
"At this point, we're viewing the move lower as technical," said Dave Meger, director of metals trading with Vision Financial Markets. The declines accelerated as prices broke down below the $1,730 area, he said. This was around the top of an old price-consolidation range.
The move also occurred as the euro broke down below the $1.30 area, he continued. Gold and other metals often move inversely to the U.S. dollar.
"Everybody expected some kind of risk-on trade or bounce in the euro on the back of the Greek deal yesterday," he said. "When that did not materialize and the euro was not able to sustain above $1.30, it slowly faded and took the metals with it yesterday and it culminated in significant weakness today."
Several traders cited market chatter that a large seller apparently came into the market early in the morning.
"It was down $25 in a minute," said one New York desk trader. "Somebody came in and whacked it. Nobody knows (who) except the people who did it…It was some hedge-fund type that just hit it. They probably set off stops. I'm sure they weren't the entire volume."
Silver and copper tumbled around the same time, he added.
A sell order of around 7,800 contracts came into the market around the New York open, said Sharps Pixley CEO Ross Norman. He said the most likely explanation is "this could be a short play, with the seller looking to trigger stops below the market at $1,730 and thus extend the move significantly lower and thus increase his profits."
He pointed out this was not the type of selling usually undertaken for profit-taking ahead of year-end. "Dealers try and finesse big sell orders into the market to get the best (highest) price for the biggest volume they can and thereby optimize profit--that requires stealth."
The activity appears related to options activity on Tuesday, when there was a large amount of buying of January puts from around $1,700 to $1,690, said Kevin Grady, president of Phoenix Futures and Options. "There is definitely a correlation there," he said.
Tim Gardiner, managing director of global precious metals with TD Securities, concurred with Grady.
The 2 million troy ounce "sell order in gold that went through the Comex was perhaps something to do with the 1.1(million troy ounce) of $1,700 January Comex gold puts that were purchased yesterday. Regardless, the day was always shaping up to be a 'risk off' event as commodities are all down … the stock markets lower, and the U.S. (dollar) stronger. There is some look of a recovery now, but the longs that piled into gold last Friday are bruised and battered," Gardiner said.
Grady also said some "weaker longs" may be exiting the futures market. This is recent buyers who cannot afford to have the price drop much or else their profit is wiped out or they end up with a loss.
Sean Lusk, precious-metals analyst with Ironbeam, also said there are rumors of a large order that may have been liquidation, with the decline triggering sell stops. He pointed out that the move occurred a day after options expiration and ahead of first-notice day for gold and silver on Friday, which could mean some unraveling of positions.
"There was no economic data at that time to precipitate the move," he said. He later added: "Outside markets are weak, so it's going to add to the pressure," citing softer equities and crude oil. "A lot of this is off of worries about the fiscal cliff."
Lusk put his nearby support for December gold around $1,700 to $1,698, then the October low, which was $1,672.50.
Lusk said he remains upbeat about gold for the longer term.

Sorry, no definitions found. You may find more data at rakshasa.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Well, by a guy named Rakshasa, which is surely close enough.
Indian folk-tales, however, the character ascribed to the Jinn, as here, has been borrowed from the Rakshasa, which is Hindu in origin, and an ogre in every sense of the European word.
More probably the origin is a Marchen of a kind of Rakshasa fatal to women.
Sanscrit term, "Rakshasa;" but this word is quite as vague as jikininki, since there are many kinds of Rakshasas.
Interesting what your DM did with the Dark Sphinx and the female Rakshasa.
Second Curse of the Crimson Throne "Escape From Old Korvosa" Session Summary Posted « Geek Related
Rakshasa: Rak-sha-sa One class of asuric beings who are sometimes cannibals and who are at the extreme of darkness and ignorance, living as they do as parasites upon the energy and life of other human beings.
His maternal parentage made him half-Rakshasa giant, and gave him many magical powers that made him an important fighter in the Kurukshetra war, the climax of the epic.
He was the famous, rather notorious Amatya Rakshasa, who had earned the nickname of Rakshasa, because of his tough stands.
In Lord of Light there are those images that you can't forget, the assassin that was the true buddha, playing dice games with Rakshasa, the chariots of the god, Yama the God of Death who was old before he was young, and the little girl who was once Kali...
But due to ignorance in its nature, it only succeeds in creating a different likeness - either malformed, unfinished and ugly or passably half-beautiful or incomplete despite its beauty: a dwarf instead of Shiva, or a Rakshasa, else a half-deity of the intermediate regions.

It was great to finally see K-Rod dressed in his Mets garb after passing his physical today.
He had this to say afterward,
"I'm thrilled to join the Mets," Rodriguez said in a statement, released after he passed his physical. "Mets fans are very passionate, and playing in a new ballpark is going to be great. I'm going to do everything I can to help bring a championship to Citi Field."
Rodriguez, who will turn 27 next month, is coming off a season in which he set a Major League record with 62 saves. He has produced a 2.35 ERA over six full seasons and one short stint as a rookie, and has struck out significantly more than a batter per inning.
Omar Minaya at his press conference said this,
"Our goal from day one was to improve the bullpen, and I cannot think of a better reliever that we'd be able to sign than Francisco Rodriguez."
" The stats speak for themselves on him, not only breaking the record in saves this year, but the consistency that he's done that, his drive, his youth, so we're excited to be able to have Francisco Rodriguez, known as K-Rod, to join the New York Mets."
There's nothing like a signing like this to stir up my anxiety for the start of Spring Training.

Kristen Cavallari, who is new mom to 5-month old Camden, says she isn't sure she'll let him play football when he's older, despite the fact that his dad is Jay Cutler.
Like any new mom, Cavallari is worried about her baby getting hurt and says she might try to steer him in another direction if he shows an interest in sports.
"Maybe a sport that isn't so aggressive...maybe baseball -- something where he doesn't have to get hit," she said.
The former "Hills" star admits, however, that she might not have too much say in the matter, anyway.
"At the end of the day, I think if he wants to play football, I don't know if I'm gonna have too much control over it," said Cavallari. "You know, how can your dad be a football player and you tell them that they can't do it?"
For now, though, Cavallari and Cutler are enjoying being new parents and are trying not to worry too much about the future.
"He's such a sweet little baby, he really is. And he just got his first tooth, which we're excited about, and we started feeding him last week, so it's been a lot of fun," she said.

We have been discussing America's declining birth rate (a crisis, say some: not so, say I), so I thought that I would post this somewhat relevant excerpt from a recent Economist piece that I happened to be reading on the (possible) decline of innovation in recent years:
Perhaps the most radical answer to the problem of the 1970s slowdown [in innovation] is that it was due to globalisation. In a somewhat whimsical 1987 paper, Paul Romer, then at the University of Rochester, sketched the possibility that, with more workers available in developing countries, cutting labour costs in rich ones became less important. Investment in productivity was thus sidelined. The idea was heretical among macroeconomists, as it dispensed with much of the careful theoretical machinery then being used to analyse growth. But as Mr Romer noted, economic historians comparing 19th-century Britain with America commonly credit relative labour scarcity in America with driving forward the capital-intense and highly productive "American system" of manufacturing.
Food for thought.
The relatively low levels of mechanization in some parts of the US agricultural sector allegedly dependent on cheap migrant labor may well reinforce Romer's point (whimsical or not), as may the advances that the Japanese are making in the field of robotics.

Winter Squash From This Year
We grew a lot of winter squash this year. We love squash pies and it's so easy to grow! This year I experimented with a few different varieties. The little orange one are our favourites so far, ambercup. They are small, easy to peel and very sweet.
The most interesting ones were the Hopi indian squash, black and pale gray. I have posted pics of these two types here because I have read folks complain that there aren't any pictures of them on the internet. I know they are rare. These are the original "Three Sisters" squash grown by the Hopi indians. Next year I will have this seed for sale on my site, in addition to a few others. I only have the "Upper Ground Sweet Potato" squash seeds for sale this year because they are the only ones I have with positive seed purity. Next year will be different. I will be growing various types of squash with insect protection and seed purity in mind.
This is the Hopi black growing.
This is the Hopi black after it is aged and ripe. That's an acorn squash next to it to show the large size. It's the only acorn squash I got this year. Just the one.
These are a couple of the Hopi pale gray. It is suppose to be a very good keeper.
The two massive squash at the back of the group in the picture at the right are the "Upper Ground Sweet Potato" squash. It's big, the size of a very large pumpkin! It is suppose to taste more like sweet potatoes than squash. It also grows well in very poor conditions, making it a good squash for our depleted field. It did very well there! I have this seed for sale in my farm store.
The colourful ones in this pile are the "Turban", also called "Turk's Cap" squash. These are a buttercup relative so I am sure they will be dense, sweet and delicious! I grew them because of their colour. I think they will be a good addition to any fall decoration. I didn't grow a lot of them this year but might be growing them for sale next year.
In the group picture behind the "Turban" squash are the four spaghetti squash we grew to try. We have never grown or eaten spaghetti squash before. We are looking at recipes now. We'll see how it goes. If we like it we will grow it again next year. If not, well, it will go the way of the butternut and Ebisu we grew previously and weren't impressed with. We have grown the big blue hubbard before, as well, and like it a lot but didn't grow it this year. I think what we have will be enough and the hubbard, while delicious, is big and hard to peel. An axe does a fair job. A knife...not so much.
These two little, dark green little ones are "Sweet Mama" squash. I only have the two and I am looking forward to trying them. Next year I will plant "Sweet Dumpling". I already have the seeds!
I have several of these. They are big blue hubbard and ambercup crosses. I didn't grow the hubbard this year but I grew it right next to the ambercup last year. Even though I hand pollinated all the flowers last year, there were still some crosses. It'll be good. Both the hubbard and ambercup are good, similar in their sweetness and density, both delicious!
Next year I will be tying both the male and female flowers with netting, I think, to ensure seed purity.
All things considered, we are very happy with this year's squash harvest! It's time to start cutting into a few ripe ones, baking them for the freezer and making a few pies!

We harvested our pumpkins & squash yesterday and I also got only one acorn squash - although I wasn't sure I'd even planted any and I certainly wasn't looking for one.
We don't have a lot of garden but ended up with huge pumpkin vines and more green than orange pumpkins which are all lined up in our screened porch hoping they will change colour. I also got 4 butternut squash and would be interested in knowing why you don't grow them.

We don't grow butternut because we don't think they are as sweet as the maximas. Ambercup, buttercup and hubbard are sweeter with a deeper squash flavour. It could be that the butternuts we have grown were not as ripe as they could be. Butternut seem to need a longer growing season. Since I already had several various types to try this year, I left those off.
I have considered growing them again to give them another chance, and may do so next year.

B&W revealed 'C5,' which happens to be one of the coolest earphones ever launched. It was announced at the IFA 2011, which is currently the hottest thing in the world of technology. In fact, you could find all the big technological companies in the exhibition and B&W was no stranger either. C5 blocks noise by using a cool new technology called Micro-porous filters, which helps it to avoid external noise. Moreover, even the internal noise would be reduced in the same manner.
The Secure Roof Design allows your C5 to stay in the ears without falling out or causing any discomfort. The earphones shall be sold through Royco, which is the official Korean provider. I would so love to get these for myself that I can't really ex0plain how badly I want them. If you love music and were looking for great music, this is really the way to go and buy the earphones. So go ahead, and get it for yourself without worrying too much.
All that you need to do is contact Royco and they might just send you a pair when they think it is the right time. You could also take a look at the Munitio Earphones which have an appeal of their own. The iPod Dock by B & W is also an amazing product. The Toshiba 3D TV looks so chic, that you would salivate to get one for yourself. The Philips 3D Platinum Series products are something that you should really look into, if we are talking about technology.

2010 Int'l Conference on Humanoid Robots
The 2010 International Conference on Humanoid Robots begins today and runs through Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee. Sadly we can't attend but Michael Overstreet of I, Bioloid and Norri Kageki of GetRobo will be there, so be sure to check out their blogs. We've looked through the schedule for Monday and picked out the presentations that we're most interested in, to give those who aren't attending a taste of what is actually going on there.
The DLR-Biped: Researchers at the German Aerospace Agency (DLR) will be presenting their new torque-controlled biped robot using their conventional DLR-KUKA joints. Earlier this year we were the first blog to report on the new biped. View the abstract here.
Kojiro: Researchers at Tokyo University say they've developed new joint springs for their musculoskeletal robot Kojiro that allows it to perform more powerful and flexible motions, such as American football motions. View the abstract here. Another lecture focuses on Kojiro's more realistic neck.
Researchers from AIST, Nagoya University, and Toyota will show how they've improved a bipedal robot's ability to walk on uneven terrain. I'm not 100% sure but this may be the work done on the HRP-2 Promet first reported by GetRobo earlier this year. View the abstract here.
LOLA: Researchers from the Technical University of Munich will present their full-scale humanoid robot LOLA navigating an unknown environment using only its on-board cameras. This may be the same presentation seen in April this year. View the abstract here.
Researchers from Waseda University will show a human mimetic robot hand and arm system grasping unknown objects without knowing the weight, friction, or stiffness. This may be the same arm developed for TWENDY-ONE. View the abstract here.
BERT2: The Bristol Robotics Laboratory (among others) will showcase the new version of their humanoid upper-torso robot, which is being used in human-robot interaction studies. View the abstract here.
ARMAR-III: Researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology are doing a few presentations about their work on the ARMAR humanoids. This one focuses on the robot's speech recognition, which uses recordings of regular household conversations. View the abstract here.

"The animal is not naked because it is naked"
Godard does with 3D in Goodbye to Language what he did to cinema's conventions with Breathless. Pushing dimension into low-grade cell phone footage, or exaggerating the depth to the extreme of a street scene, at times rendering different images in each eye. But the surprising star of the show was the play of sound, volume in particular. The event's host told us that the projectionist wanted the disclaimer made that all extreme leaps in volume are deliberate and not a technical error.
In fact, what Godard does here is extraordinary; continuity, score, diegetic sound are all abruptly interrupted, distorted or played back on the wrong stereo channel, keeping us ever aware of the construct while also imparting powerful emotional shifts. From the burst of ear piercing shouts in a street level riot to the hilariously deliberate squeak of Mary Shelley's fountain pen across a journal page as she scrawls Frankenstein while Lord Byron's dialogue crackles as it blows the mic capsule, Godard plunges us viscerally into the hunt for a palpable sensation, something rip us out of the reverie, the smokescreen of language. He imparts to cinema sound what My Bloody Valentine did for recording music, always pressing against the seams, exposing its mold lines, making us not only hyper-aware, but wary of its inherent limits.
"I have always detested characters. From birth we are forced into them"
In this vein, Goodbye to Language is an ontological exploration actually well-served by the exploitation of the media's limits: Immediately in the title sequence, Godard delineates the 2D from 3D planes and then effectively makes the 2D the more reliable, as 3D low-grade images smear across in the background, searching, searching, just the like the dog upon which he spends most of the film – pointing out that through the gaze of an animal are we able to access the real world.

And so the dead return.. in quite a smashing 2nd half season 2 opener – Nebraska. Picking up from right where we left in the mid-season finale, the Atlanta Grimes gang just executed the barn full of walkers, including Sophie. They had been looking for her for almost the entire 7 episodes, and that turned out to be futile. Rick comes to terms with the whole "hope" situation, and Shane steps into the dark side even further. And just when you thought that the walkers are the only threat, we are treated to a different level of invasion. It couldn't have been a better opening for the Walking Dead. And here are a few points I want to discuss about the episode, all bullet pointed after the jump. SPOILER ALERT!
1. Sophie's choice:
Rick realises of how they put themselves at risk in the hope that a young little girl would be able to survive in a zombie-infested wilderness. But how the hell did she end up in that barn? Well, that secret probably died with Otis, as neither Maggie nor Hershel know about it. I would have liked to see what actually happened to Sophia, in a sort of a recap episode, shot from her point of view – to explain why on earth she did that stupid act of leaving the spot.
2. Dealing with Loss:
And with Sophia shot dead, the Grimes and the Greenes seem to have lost all purpose, and hope. In a very fast turn of events we see how different people deal with loss differently. Everyone is in shock, no doubt. Sophia's mum goes into the woods, while the girl in the farm has a mysterious shock coma. Rick is feeling out of control, and losing faith in his decision making capabilities, and Hershel has started drinking again.
3. The Western Connection:
Another something I noticed about this episode, was how the camera shots were playing like a typical western, with the long crane shots sweeping the farm lands. Hell they even had a scene at a Western bar with Hershel gulping down a large, and even Rick and Glenn joining in. But the celebrations didn't stay so long.
4. Why Nebraska?
As Rick and Glenn go to retrieve Hershel from a nearby bar, two new survivors show up. And in true uninviting fashion, one of them seem to turn out just like another Shane (we'll call him Shane2). Shane2 seems to be as equally ill mannered and pushy as his namesake. And his heavy set sidekick has poor code of hygiene. But they do narrate a nice little story about the possibility of Nebraska being a perfect place for habitation. But little did they know that Rick was a bit too anal about hygiene, and did not liked to be pushed either.
5. 15 minutes of fame
And so, since Shane2 kept on insisting that they see the farm, Rick pulls out his most self-aware state mode. And before we could even realise what the hell was going on, Rick goes dhiskow, once on Shane2, and twice on Shane2's sidekick. He even comes back to shit him in the head. Dayumm! Hershel and Glenn keep looking in awe, as they witness the rise of the Grimes dynasty in the farm, and Rick as the next emperor. And that was probably, one of the finest 15 minutes of The Walking Dead I have seen. I said one of – definitely Top 10. C'mon, it'd have taken at least an episode for the whole bar situation to roll out if it was Season 2 – Half 1. But here, it is done and dusted within a matter of minutes. Bravo!
6. The rest of the group:
What has everybody else been dealing with? Hmm, Andrea and T-Dog go to burn the non-related walkers, and bury the loved ones. Dale goes all psychic about Shane, and he tells his conclusive results about Shane killing Otis, to Lori. Lori nags Daryl about something (I wasn't paying attention to her), and Daryl snaps, and almost bitch slaps her by calling her "Olive Oyl". I think the name is gonna stick now. She then hears about the Shane situation, and goes all mental – picks up a car, and drives somewhere. And boom, she's all ready to create more trouble to poor Rick. She can't see a walker who is 500m away, and hence, does a double back flip with the car. Glenn and Maggie are still cute together. And Carl, ermm.. he's sent indoors.
7. In conclusion:
This was a very strong episode, and there are a few questions left out in the open now. Why did Rick shoot Shane2 and his sidekick in the head? Is it a step to ensure that dead people who are dead because of non-walkers, can become the undead somehow, if they are not shot in the head? Does that also mean, that the walker virus is contagious somehow – through air/water/whatever ? Hershel being witness to the whole bar shootout, makes him realise that Rick is a worthy leader of the group. He does realise the symbiotic relationship now, but how long will this friendship last? And I feel there is something going on about Lori-Shane still. Finally, I need Daryl to be more central in Episode 9. Please!

"AUSTIN, Texas -- Feb. 28, 2010, was a banner day for Texas wind to set the clouds -- and electrons -- flying.
In the Panhandle, gusts reached 47 miles per hour and wind generators delivered a record 6,242 megawatts of power to Dallas, Austin and other population centers. At 1 p.m., 22 percent of all the electricity consumed in the Texas grid was coming from wind.
To proud Texans like Public Utility Commission Chairman Barry Smitherman, such records document the state's position as the "epicenter of land-based wind production" in the United States, if not the world, as the chairman put it.
At the end of 2009, the capacity of Texas wind turbines, reaching to the horizons of farm and prairie land, totaled 9,410 megawatts, well more than the combined total of the next three largest wind-power states, Iowa, California and Washington. Over the course of a year, wind power is providing 5 percent of Texas' demand, and that would more than double if the state's grid goals are achieved."

A celebratory meal seems incomplete without a bread accompaniment, but this side is too often an afterthought that fails to live up to the excitement of the other dishes on the table. These tried and true yeast dinner rolls are homey yet unforgettable and won't be overshadowed by other menu items. Make them even more impressive by following one of the variations at the end of the recipe — cheddar and chive, honey-oat, or raisin and fennel.
Serves 10; Makes approximately 20 rolls
These ever-so-slightly sweet rolls are light and fluffy with a satisfying chew. The directions call for kneading with a stand mixer as the dough is very wet and tacky, but you could also knead by hand using a bench scraper and some elbow grease.
Rather than manipulate the bread recipe, you can add interest to your rolls by serving up a unique spread, like dill and lemon, mango-chile, or cinnamon and sugar butters. They take only minutes to pull together but make a big impact at the dinner table.
A vibrant, herbaceous spread to cut through the richness of a decadent meal.
Sweet heat to hit all points of the palate. Pairs especially well with fish and pork.
Always a hit, with kids and adults alike! Serve with rolls as well as sweet potatoes.
Save time by skipping the homemade bread and serving Sister Schubert's dinner yeast rolls alongside your homemade spreads instead.

April 1st, 2013
in econ_news, syndication
Econintersect: Michael Hudson says that banking since World War I has been more and more focused on loading down the economy with debt rather than what he thinks should be the business of banks, which is financing economic growth and production.
