Music Interview
The Hot Club de Albuquerque
Le Chat Lunatique on work, style, corn and more
How long have you existed, and how did you come to be?
Muni Kulasinghe: Well, long version is this, and I going to claim the central role in getting us together ... though, that is somewhat inaccurate. It was really pretty organic. We've been together as a band for nearly two and a half years. Fernando and I met three years ago at Pearl's Dive (now the lovely Blackbird Buvette) at their weekly jazz jam. He and I, within a drink, had become pretty damned good friends. We talked about starting a band (this was March 2005). We were also friends (and still are) with Gabe Bass, who plays bass (really) and we started kicking song ideas around, and thought maybe we'd start a band called The KGB (Kulasinghe, Garavito, Bass) Trio. Well, right around then I ran into a mysterious figure whom everyone referred to as Johnny. He was a quiet cat. Further research revealed that he was, indeed, quiet. But then one day, he walks into my house, we were throwing a party (no one was there), picks up this shitty, shitty guitar, pulls a slide out of his pocket and proceeds to make such beautiful sounds on it that he was immediately in. We then found out that we shared an enormous regard for Stephane Grapelli and Django Reinhardt, the core members of the Hot Club of France (one of the best jazz bands ever), and that between the two of us, we knew a fair amount of the repertoire already. That is probably when Le Chat Lunatique was born, really. It was right about then that we lost Gabe to Arizona for a while, and in searching for a bassist I happened upon Jared playing for Bernadette Seacrest, and he picked up that bass (he'd been playing guitar) and slid up to a note, and his tone was perfect. So right after the show I asked him to come rehearse with us. It turns out that he'd already been recommended to Johnny, and that they'd been playing phone tag, but I just happened to see him. Weird. We were clearly meant to find one another (cheesy, but true).
Jared Putnam: Since Fall '05. Manifest Destiny.
John Sandlin: We have been paying for a little over two years. I met Muni, we jammed, he knew Fernando, and we were referred to Jared.
Why haven't you put something out before now?
Kulasinghe: We've "put out" plenty, and don't call us sluts, it hurts out feelings.
Putnam: We have! We have released two different homemade LIVE bootleg CDs called Puss in Bootleg and Puss in Bootleg 2.
Sandlin: We have a couple of bootleg recordings, and we have spent the last year working on the new album. It's been a major process, plus with how many gigs we play, it's hard to find the time to hit the studio.
Is there a profession in which anyone in the band would rather engage?
Kulasinghe: Fernando harbors the wish to be King of Pants. I've always wanted to be a glory hole operator. And I'm pretty sure Jared goes out at night. (Or should I say "comes out" at night?) Johnny runs a used car lot on the Westside but maintains that he "teaches" "guitar" at "Grandma's." And, of course, we all know what "Grandma's" really means, don't we? That slut.
"And, of course, we all know what "Grandma's" really means, don't we? That slut."
Muni Kulasinghe
Putnam: What I really like is hauling around heavy equipment. Playing music is a drag, but it gives me the chance to carry some heavy shit around.
Sandlin: No.
Have you ever considered changing your name to "El Gato Loco"?
Kulasinghe: Yes. But the copious violent diarrhea that ensued every time I said the name dissuaded me.
Putnam: Yes, for the Norwegian tour.
Sandlin: No, unless you see us playing mariachi, which might be a good idea. Hmm ...
If I were to reach into a sack filled with Le Chat Lunatique members, I would have a 50/50 chance of pulling out a nice mustache. Can you help us understand why?
Kulasinghe: Two of us are women. But you'd never guess who.
Putnam: Five out of four people have trouble with fractions.
Sandlin: On any given day, we have from 50 to 75 percent moustaches, but on our CD release we will be 100 percent stachioed. It was Jared who started it. Early on he just started growing a handlebar, which influenced Muni and I to grow our own. Although I did not start the stache, I have been the most consistent wearer in the band. (Muni and Jared have both shaved and re-grown several times, mine has been with me for two years straight!) And Fernando's comes equipped with a beard.
Most stylish people would agree that you four are a bunch of well-dressed men. How did you come by such excellent taste in fashion?
Kulasinghe: Personally, my mom. Laugh all you want. It's true.
Putnam: We are all card-carrying narcissists. Except Fernando. He's normal.
Sandlin: It was my idea. It was just fitting for our style. It just doesn't look right for a classy gypsy swing/western swing/classic jazz band to bear T-shirts, Crocs and board shorts. And it has opened a lot of doors for us—people take notice, we stand apart, not only in our music but in our appearance.
Do you have any thoughts on corn?
Kulasinghe: Yes. If we are what we eat, then putting an American human in a giant microwave oven would produce enough popcorn for everyone in Bhutan on their "Day of Movies."
Putnam: No, but then again, I do not own a corn pillow.
Sandlin: It's not the corn we have to worry about—it's the maize.
If Le Chat Lunatique could have a super power, what would it be?
Kulasinghe: Definitely X-ray vision. And the ability to make people spontaneously orgasm.
Putnam: China!
Sandlin: Spontaneous impregnation.
I like Steve Stucker. Do you all have any local heroes?
Kulasinghe: Steve Hirsch. Tom Guralnick. I could actually fill a page with names, and that would be boring.
Putnam: The PNM guy who checks the meters. He's got a tough job.
Sandlin: Ron Bell.
Have you ever considered moving away?
Kulasinghe: No.
Putnam: To France, maybe!
Sandlin: I was three steps away from moving to Austin and then Le Chat happened. So I stayed. We kinda discussed relocation as a band, and I personally believe that too many bands abandon ship. Burque needs people to stay onboard, to improve the scene, make it better and make it a place where bands want to move to. That was my whole idea with the Django Fest--bring cool stuff here, make life good for Querqueños.
Do you have any insight on a potential connection between the slowdown of the U.S. economy and the growth of foreign markets?
Kulasinghe: We are jackasses, and foreign markets are pulling their money out of our economy, and/or buying up prime corporate real estate as it becomes dramatically undervalued. The growth of foreign markets is probably due to the fact that as the dollar loses value, our goods are 1) easier to move, 2) a weaker dollar means a weaker America, and thus trade is shifting away from our markets, and 3) this is a weird prediction, but unless we have better governance, we are going to start seeing tariffs and embargoes against our exports. People are scared of America these days.
Putnam: Ask Muni, I'm sure he really knows the answer to that.
Sandlin: Yes, I agree and that is why Le Chat Lunatique if for CHANGE. And we get paid in Yen or Euros.
What is the band's stance on polyamory?
Kulasinghe: YAY!!!
Putnam: I just had to look that word up. Chacon à son goût, I suppose.
Sandlin: Spontaneous impregnation.
On that note, will Le Chat Lunatique marry me? And if so, will you play at our wedding?
Kulasinghe: YES!!!
Putnam: Kinky!
Sandlin: Yes, I'm sure we can arrange something. Let me check with the guys and our schedule. I'll get back to you to confirm. Our fee is 1000 Yen or Euros.
Finally, to mark this joyous occasion, is there any one thing you'd like your fans (or foes) to know?
Kulasinghe: Yes. We've always wanted women (and men, if they must) to throw panties at us.
Putnam: None of us watch TV!
Sandlin: We love you all as if we spontaneously impregnated you.

You can win some impressive victories against corporate power on the local level. Boulder voters declared that corporations aren't people and money isn't speech. Cities across Colorado (and other states) have passed fracking bans and moratoriums.
The fight is much tougher on a statewide and national level. But on the international level, the corporate elite is planning to dramatically stifle government regulation of their behavior.
Right now, secret negotiations are concluding over the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which is a gigantic proposed "free-trade" zone spanning the Pacific Ocean and involving 12 nations (the United States, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Peru, Mexico, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Brunei).
It would be the largest free-trade agreement by the United States. According to a report by the Congressional Research Service, the ministers negotiating the agreement "have expressed an intent to comprehensively reduce barriers in goods, services and agricultural trade as well as rules and disciplines on a wide range of topics" to extraordinary levels.
Leaks of TPP documents reveal that corporations could avoid government review when acquiring land, natural resources or factories. Corporations could be guaranteed compensation for the loss of "expected future profits from health, labor, [or] environmental" regulations. Corporate performance requirements could be banned. Corporations could directly challenge government laws and regulations in international trade tribunals.
Lori Wallach, the director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, said the leaks "sent shock waves through Congress because it showed that U.S. negotiators had totally abandoned Obama's campaign pledges to replace the old NAFTA [North American Free Trade Agreement] trade model and in fact were doubling down and expanding the very Bush-style deal that Obama campaigned against in 2008 to win key swing states."
The TPP will encourage U.S. corporations to offshore. This has happened with previous "free trade" agreements. The Economic Policy Institute has found that nearly 700,000 U.S. jobs were lost as a result of NAFTA. In Mexico, NAFTA has also destroyed many agricultural jobs by allowing imports of U.S. (government-subsidized) corn. As a result, many Mexicans have been forced to emigrate to the U.S. to find work.
In July, the Sierra Club expressed alarm when Japan formally joined the TPP, declaring:
"Japan is the world's largest importer of liquefied natural gas, a dirty fossil fuel that is extracted from Americans' backyards through the dangerous practice of fracking. The trade pact could strip the U.S. government's power to manage its own gas exports, and put that power in the hands of foreign companies, opening the floodgates for dangerous fracking in our country and sacrificing our air and water quality.
"American families and communities cannot afford the unchecked exports of fracked gas to Japan."
Thanks to fracking, the U.S. has become — in Obama's words — "the Saudi Arabia of gas." In 2012, this country produced 651 billion cubic meters of gas. We are the second top producer after Russia, which produced 653 billion cubic meters.
Reporter Steve Horn says that "a 21st-century 'gas Cold War' has arisen between the U.S. and Russia." He notes the emergence of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), which is "a bloc of countries whose mission is to fend off U.S. and Western power dominance of the global gas trade. The 13 member countries include Russia, Iran, Bolivia, Venezuela, Libya, Algeria and several others."
Horn says the U.S. has a big disadvantage, since "Russia relies on easier-to-obtain conventional gas, as opposed to tough-to-obtain unconventional shale gas" which will likely last only 15 to 20 years.
A bipartisan group of 34 senators (including Colorado's Mark Udall and Michael Bennet) is pressuring Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz to speed up applications to export liquefied natural gas to nations that lack formal free trade deals with the U.S. Speed up? Why have this global battle over rapidly diminishing fossil fuels when the planet is heading toward ecological Armageddon? Why is Obama trying to shove the TPP through Congress via "fast track" (which allows him to negotiate deals that Congress can approve or disapprove but can't change)? Why has the mainstream media ignored the anti- TPP protests by more than 400 civil society groups (labor, environmental, family farm, consumer, faith, public health, Native American and human rights constituencies)?
This corporate power grab must be stopped. Replace "fast track" with a more democratic process.

system settings and so
i can't use some options of system settings
eg when I try to change time i see: Unable to authenticate/execute the action: 4,
the same when i try to change time zone
thx, conta

Time Zone change was also rejected on Live System.
- 18.05.2011, 06:49 Uhr
Try using "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" as root from the command line instead.
ETA: Or log in as root using "sux" and run "kcmshell4 clock".
- 18.05.2011, 11:45 Uhr
You can also change UTC in /etc/default/rcS. After you configured your timezone + utc setting run
in a console and it will get the time from the internet.
- 18.05.2011, 12:23 Uhr
thanks guys, i know about those options, but that's not my point in here
what i mean is [in general] that people use KDE because they dont wanna use command line
and it's not about time only, i can't also edit KDM and so.
eg. Date settings say that I will be asked to authentificate, but i am not, instead i got error i wrote upper
solution should not be to use command line, but fix the trouble with authentification ;]
maybe it's KDE problem, i dont know
- 18.05.2011, 12:35 Uhr
I would definitely avoid to use kde settings for time/date settings. Basically it only needs to write /etc/timezone, but it will not appear in the debconf database that way without dpkg-reconfigure.

That does not change utc (bios time) to localtime. You need to change the /etc/default/rcS. Basically it is better to use utc with every os, for Win there are reg hacks, if you use os x on the same pc then you definitely have to store the time as utc. When you dont store the time as utc then the time is always changed as soon as you boot win (twice a year).

@conta: some settings in KDE's systemsettings can be changed by root users only, like KDM settings - if you want to change them use
kdesu systemsettings
in KDE 4.4.5 the button to become root from the GUI is not implemented (i think it is in 4.5+, iirc)

I'm not too worried about bios time, it can stay as it is. I just wish to change the time shown on the display at the bottom bar, so as not to lose track of time by being misled by the display and losing 2 hours

Re: Live System
kdesu is not in the normal path, only when you use alt+f2. But whats wrong using the correct console tools?

Because none of them seem to be having any effect in changing the time display on the bottom tool bar panel.
Anyway the best workaround I've found so far is to use 'tzselect' to obtain the appropriate tz value for kernel parameter 'timezone' as a one-off grub edit in conjunction with 'persistent'. thus:
kernel /hx/vmlinuz fromiso=/dev/sda5/hx/kanotix-2.6.38rc6.iso boot=live config utc=yes locales=us quiet gfx=on persistent [timezone=America/Los_Angeles]
- 20.05.2011, 08:37 Uhr
Re: Live System
Better use utc=no in your example. The command i told you are for a real hd install and NOT for persistent mode which is configured by the extra options you can use.

Dundee proved too strong for Peterhead as they booked their place in the next round of the Scottish Communities League Cup with a comprehensive 4-0 win at Dens Park.
First-half goals from Simon Ferry and Greg Stewart put Paul Hartley's side in the driving set and the first-round tie was put beyond any doubt late in the second half with further goals from substitute Peter MacDonald and Luka Tankulic.
Jim McInally's newly-promoted League One side found it hard going against the Scottish Premiership new boys who nearly took a fourth-minute lead when Gary Harkins hit the crossbar.
The experienced midfielder played a one-two with Tankulic and, as the space opened up, shot from 16 yards but saw his effort hit the woodwork as visiting keeper Graeme Smith looked on.
Harkins had another golden opportunity in the 16th minute when Kevin Thomson's defence-splitting pass set him free, but the former Kilmarnock, Oldham and Partick man shot right at Smith.
However, the Tayside club only had to wait four more minutes to go ahead.
Tankulic surged into the box and saw his snap-shot saved by Smith, but Ferry netted the rebound from close range.
Dundee survived a scare on the half-hour when the part-time Blue Toon almost levelled.
James Stevenson's corner was met by Scott Ross whose bullet header looked destined for the net, only for Thomson to head off the line for Dundee to keep them in front.
At the other end, Thomas Konrad saw his downward header from Harkins' corner deflected wide as the hosts sought to increase their lead.
Dundee did make it 2-0 right on the interval when Paul McGowan slipped in new-boy Stewart and he made no mistake with his powerful 12-yard finish past Smith.
Dundee defender Kyle Benedictus almost gifted Peterhead a way back into the tie just after the break.
Benedictus' pass was intercepted by Jamie Redman who quickly fed Andy Rogers, and his cross was turned just over the bar by Rory McAllister as the hosts breathed a sigh of relief.
But any thoughts the visitors had of a comeback were killed off in the 78th minutes when substitute MacDonald rose unchallenged to nod home Tankulic's header at the back post.
And four minutes Tankulic rounded things off with a well-taken eight-yard finish from Harkins' deft cross, to put them on a high going into next weekend's Premiership curtain-raiser against Kilmarnock.

Okay, fair to say this'll be the XI come Monday;
WwdIs 88/10 (20.0 ov, DP Nannes 1/21) - Match over | Live Scorecard | Cricinfo.com
So they've stacked the batting and will be relying on Smith for spin with Dussey/Clarke to roll the arm over if needed. Far better side than with Lee in it. Still a bit worried about their ability to accelerate after the first 10, whether having three (essentially) part-time spinners = 1 good one and a pace attack of Johnson/Nannes/Tait is potentially pretty damn wild but it's not bad.

At this year's American International Toy Fair, I found that the industry's trend of creating retro and nostalgic toys is hitting the infant/preschool sector in a big way. Multiple companies were debuting new toy lines that were a throwback to the classics: wooden toys.
Chicco's new wooden line was particularly impressive. Known for their focus on developmental toys, Chicco created a wooden toy line that revamps the old classics that are familiar to parents. From Stacking Cubes and Sailor Friends, to all sorts of instruments and pull toys, Chicco was debuting a line that gave a modern, sleeker look to toys that are generational favorites. The Animal Cottage Wood Sorter, a classic wooden toy with a modern and colorful look that teaches important skills, was irresistibly adorable.
Along with Chicco, wooden toys were popping up in preschool lines from Beanpatch & Co. and Manhattan Toy. With no more proof needed than the success of Melissa & Doug's wooden toys, classics tend to evoke memories in parents—ones they can then share with their children while creating new ones. In a world of technology-driven toys, there's something to be said for the simple, classic nature of a wooden toy line, and the quality ones will stand up against time. These wooden toys not only have a crafted look that increases value, they also teach developmental skills to babies and infants in a simplistic way.

I know where I am going to eat next week
Green Eggs & Ham, Who-Cakes and Beezlenut Splash -- to Name Just a Few -- IHOP Partners With "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!"
Monday March 3, 7:00 am ET
IHOP Joins With Twentieth Century Fox and "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!" to Serve Up "Seuss" Inspired Dishes for a Limited Time
GLENDALE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 3, 2008 -- With new items that include Beezlenut Splash, Who-Cakes and Green Eggs & Ham, IHOP has created a menu that will be loved by any Dr. Seuss fan! IHOP, one of America's favorite restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner, has partnered with the new feature film from Twentieth Century Fox Animation, "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!," to bring Dr. Seuss' imaginative journey of Horton the Elephant to IHOP restaurants throughout the U.S. From March 3 through April 20, IHOP restaurants will add four new Horton-themed menu items -- Beezlenut Splash, Who-Cakes, Mayor's Breakfast and Jo-jo's Kid's Breakfast. The new film opens at theaters nationwide on March 14.
Source: IHOP Corp.
IHOP's new Mayor's Breakfast includes a clever play on Dr. Seuss' legendary 'green eggs & ham' - eggs scrambled with spinach, ham strips, hash browns and a choice of Who-Cakes or IHOP's original buttermilk pancakes.
"Generations have cherished Dr. Seuss' books for more than 50 years, and the IHOP team has had great fun referencing his imaginative work to create some of our most original products ever," said Carolyn O'Keefe, IHOP's senior vice president, marketing. "IHOP's new Horton-themed menu items combine the unique, craveable items IHOP is famous for with some of the best-loved creative and playful themes from Dr. Seuss' stories."
Who-Cakes, named after the "Whos" who live on a speck of dust, are a colorful stack of IHOP's shortcake pancakes in all shapes and sizes covered with real boysenberry and blueberry glaze, rainbow chocolate chips and a pink lollipop.
The Mayor's Breakfast includes a clever play on Dr. Seuss' legendary "green eggs & ham" -- eggs scrambled with spinach, ham strips, hash browns and a choice of Who-Cakes or IHOP's original buttermilk pancakes.
Horton stands by the motto that "a person's a person, no matter how small," so for smaller appetites, Jo-jo's Kid's Breakfast offers a smaller stack of Who-Cakes, one scrambled green egg and a ham strip.
Adventurous guests can wash it all down with a wiggly jiggly Beezlenut Splash, a thirst-quenching treat of lemon-lime soda with cubes of floating Cherry and Berry Blue Jell-O®
Each of the four Horton-themed dishes at IHOP is inspired by the film and favorite stories from Dr. Seuss. A "who's who" of comedy, led by Jim Carrey and Steve Carell, bring to life Dr. Seuss' beloved "Horton Hears A Who!" An imaginative elephant named Horton (Carrey) hears a faint cry for help coming from a tiny speck of dust floating through the air. Although Horton doesn't know it yet, that speck houses an entire city named Who-ville, inhabited by the microscopic Whos, led by the Mayor (Carell). Despite being ridiculed and threatened by his neighbors who think he has lost his mind, Horton is determined to save the particle... because "a person's a person no matter how small."
The IHOP promotion is supported by an integrated marketing effort that includes a national television commercial, in-restaurant materials and online elements that bring the spirit of "Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!" alive for IHOP guests. NMA Entertainment & Marketing worked closely with IHOP in the execution and creation of online and other promotional elements.

I wish I could find the commercial online. It is cute.

|installation: anaconda reboots
Hi all,
I'm trying to install 90k on an AMD64 box. I've tried both with the x86_64 netinstall iso and the i386 iso.
In both cases, anaconda runs, but when I ask it to format the partition where I want to install Blag, it stops, the screen goes black, and the machine reboots.
Anaconda warns me that I have more than 15 partitions on sda and sdb, which is quite true, but I'm trying to put it onto sdb9, which surely should be ok. I thought it might be because there was an old Slackware on that partition, so I dd'd it full of zeros, but that didn't help.
Incidentally I would have thought that since kernels later than 2.6.28 or thereabouts can handle more than 15 partitions there should be no probs, but apparently anaconda hasn't caught up yet.
Does anyone have any ideas? Am I the only one with this problem? Thanks in advance.
|Junichirô [ Sat May 01, 2010 10:33 pm ]
|Post subject:
Maybe because of the kernel on the installation ISO is 2.6.25 or 2.6.26?
|impert [ Sun May 02, 2010 7:40 am ]
|Post subject:
Hi, and thanks for the speedy reply.
I downloaded the CD's on Friday so I think they would have the most recent kernel - 2.6.33 I think. In any case I've one or two other elderly kernels running quite happily on partitions below no 15. Slackware was 2.6.24 on the same partition. (sdb9)
EDIT According to the readme the i386cd has the 2.6.25 kernel-libre, but I don't think that is the problem. The i386 checksum and self-check were ok. The machine reboots when about 80% through formatting, and thus before anything has been installed, which makes me think it's an anaconda problem. I'll try again on another machine.
|impert [ Sun May 02, 2010 9:46 am ]
|Post subject:
Tried the text-install (i386), same deal; tried on the other machine (amd64 also) ; machine freezes before getting to formatting stage, hard reboot required.

Don't know what happened to you because I never had a problem to install it. i386 or x86_64 netinstall.

90k is based on Fedora 9, there have been no new releases for a little bit, and folk are now gathering efforts to start releasing again. There was some disruption when the sole developer quit the project, and the community has stepped in to try and co-ordinate a newer, more up to date release. 90k is therefore not a recent release, and the kernel with the install is "old". It can be upgraded after install, but is not recent upon install.

I've managed to get the wrong version (i386) installed on the wrong machine using the pci=nomsi kernel option.
My immediate problem now is that yum update gives an error message:
ftp://blag.fsf.org/90000/en/os/i386/BLAG/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError:>urlopenerror (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')>
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: blag. Please verify its path and try again)
I got this address from the wiki - is it no longer current?
EDIT: Aargh! It's a network config problem. Thought it had been done.
I'll try a few kernel options on the other machine later (suggestions, anyone? It's an AMD X2 4850e on a GA-MA78GM-S2H mobo, with amd 780G northbridge and amd700 s.b.)
Oh, and thanks for the info, let's hope the project goes ahead!

One more cheer!
sudo /sbin/service network restart
and now I'm downloading package 45 of 215 to update. With a bit of luck I'll have a desktop soon.[/code]

We are waiting for you on IRC!
Don't forget to add lvna repo during installation if you do a netinstall. Because now repo are on fsf server so libdvdcss is not in the repo but still in the default packages list.
|impert [ Mon May 03, 2010 12:19 pm ]

Thank you. I'm still about half a cheer from getting everything working. I've got a cli environment, but the X hangs at present while doing the gnome desktop.
|impert [ Mon May 03, 2010 2:14 pm ]
|Post subject:
Another half cheer, which makes three in all. It turns out the trouble was the chrome driver. Changing it to "vesa" fixed it.
Later on I'll try for an x86-64 netinstall on the othe box.
Read the thread 'Is blag dead?' while waiting for things to download. Not very encouraging when I've only just discovered Blag! I hope reports of its death are exaggerated.

You can help us to maintain the distro and develop the future version that will be based on Fedora 12.

|Post subject:
Thank you, Junichirô, but I'm afraid that my lack of skills is such that I would need so much coaching that it would be easier for someone more knowledgeable to simply do the work. I'm not at all sure just what is involved in maintaining a distro, any distro, nor what is involved in the particular case of one that seeks to be 100% free. I'm maybe a bit ideologically suspect, too: I confess to having a box-full of such evil distros as Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, Mandriva . . . ;-)
I have discovered though that I can manage very well without Mr Gates' software, and he seems to get by quite well without my money.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A one-time aide to former U.S. Sen. Trent Lott said Thursday that the Mississippi Republican has suffered a ruptured appendix.
The former aide, Lee Youngblood, told The Associated Press that he has been in touch with Lott's family. Youngblood said the 71-year-old Lott underwent surgery and is expected to recover.
"He did have a ruptured appendix," Youngblood said. "That's bad, but it's not life-threatening by any means."
In Jackson, Baptist Medical Center spokesman Robby Channell said Lott was in fair condition Thursday night.
Lott's daughter, Tyler Lott Armstrong, who lives in Jackson, wrote in a Facebook message to AP late Thursday that her father is "doing fine and resting comfortably."
"He will be in the hospital for a couple of days, but will be just fine," she wrote.
The Mayo clinic website describes appendicitis as a painful condition in which the appendix, a finger-shaped pouch that projects out from the colon, becomes inflamed and fills with pus. If an appendix ruptures, it is a medical emergency and the contents of the intestines and infectious organisms can leak into the abdominal cavity, causing an infection there. This can potentially lead to a pocket of infection in the abdomen called an abscess, which requires treatment before it tears and causes a more widespread infection, the website says.
Word of Lott's surgery emerged after someone asked people to pray for him at a Rotary Club meeting Thursday in Gulfport, Miss., Youngblood said.
Lott lobbies for Washington-based Patton Boggs LLP and the Ridgeland, Miss., law firm of Butler, Snow, O'Mara, Stevens & Cannada PLLC.
A longtime Pascagoula resident, Lott stopped living there after his waterfront home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He owns a home northwest of Jackson in rural Pocahontas.
A onetime aide to conservative Democratic U.S. Rep. Bill Colmer, Lott was elected as a Republican to succeed him in 1972 to the south Mississippi seat. He served 16 years in the House, rising to Republican whip, and ascended to the Senate in 1988 upon John Stennis' retirement.
He became Senate majority leader in 1996, and was scheduled to return to that post after the 2002 elections. Before he could take over again, he made remarks at the 100th birthday party for then-Sen. Strom Thurmond that voiced approval for Thurmond's 1948 candidacy for president as a segregationist Dixiecrat. After great criticism, Lott stepped down from leading the Republicans in late December 2002.
Lott returned to the Senate GOP leadership as minority whip before retiring in 2007, becoming a lobbyist after a year's wait.

NEWARK – An online database launched in late January and listing all vehicles issued flood or salvage titles since Superstorm Sandy flooded large areas of New Jersey has been updated and currently contains information on nearly 31,000 vehicles, officials announced today.
The leaders of the State Motor Vehicle Commission and Division of Consumer Affairs again urged prospective buyers of a used motor vehicle to check the online database before finalizing a purchase. It is not illegal to sell a vehicle with either a flood or salvage title, but specific requirements exist to ensure the status of such vehicles is disclosed to potential purchasers.
"Damage sustained by vehicles must be disclosed to prospective buyers," Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa said. "We will hold car dealers accountable for violating our Consumer Fraud Act if they fail to make such disclosures."
The online database, located at www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/floodedcars, allows users to enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) unique to each vehicle and check whether a flood or salvage title has been issued.
"The Motor Vehicle Commission and the Division of Consumer Affairs have been updating the online database regularly since its inception. We want the public to have up-to-date information readily available so they can easily perform their due diligence before making a buying decision," said Raymond P. Martinez, MVC Chairman and Chief Administrator.
If a motor vehicle has suffered sufficient damage to render it economically impractical to repair or has been rendered a total loss by an insurer, the person in possession of the certificate of ownership (or "title") for the vehicle is required, by law, to surrender the title to the MVC. The MVC will then issue a salvage title for that vehicle. Salvage vehicles cannot be registered for the purpose of being driven on the public highways of New Jersey except for the purpose of going to and from an inspection appointment at a Motor Vehicle Commission facility. (N.J.A.C. 13:21-22.6.)
It is against the law to sell or transfer ownership of a salvage motor vehicle except as a salvage motor vehicle with a salvage title, unless the vehicle is repaired and inspected by the Motor Vehicle Commission. (N.J.A.C. 13:21-22.5.)
The owner of a vehicle damaged by flood, but not rendered economically impractical to repair or not rendered a total loss by an insurer, must place the phrase "Flood Vehicle" on the title, assignment of certificate of ownership (title), or manufacturer's statement of origin if a new vehicle, directly below the word "Status." All subsequent titles shall be so noted. Vehicles damaged by flood will not be registered unless the application for registration is accompanied by the appropriately noted certificate of ownership. (N.J.A.C. 13:21-5.6, -5.7.)
"This database is another way that we're empowering consumers and aiding them in the marketplace," said Eric T. Kanefsky, Director of the State Division of Consumer Affairs. "Just as importantly, we encourage consumers to file complaints with us if they believe a car dealer is not disclosing that a vehicle offered for sale has sustained storm damage."
Before purchasing a used vehicle, consumers are advised to:
- Check the vehicle's title history and be wary if the vehicle has been titled multiple times over a short time period;
- Obtain a vehicle history report from the dealer, or get one yourself from a reputable source; this will let you know if the car has been damaged in the past; and
- Look for an insurance company's name on the title history, and contact the company for vehicle information.
Martinez noted that consumers should check whether a new or used auto dealer is licensed by the MVC as legally required. Consumer Affairs can provide information on any past actions it has taken against a dealership and whether consumers have filed complaints about a dealership.
Consumers also should have their trained mechanic perform a pre-purchase inspection of the vehicle.
Among the telltale signs that a vehicle may have sustained flood damage are:
- A musty or moldy smell or the strong scent of a deodorizer all over the car;
- Rust on metal parts where water would not normally touch;
- Water-stained upholstery or water damage on the door panels or seat belts; and
- Mildew, silt or debris in areas around the engine compartment, under the carpeting or in the trunk.
Consumers who believe they have been cheated or scammed by a business, or suspect any other form of consumer abuse, can file a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs by visiting its website or by calling 1-800-242-5846 (toll free within New Jersey) or 973-504-6200.

African American Book Store
About Mood Makers BooksSubmitted by webmaster on Thu, 08/30/2012 - 22:43
Our Mission
To foster a greater understanding and awareness of Afro-centric literature, history and art through books, events and community service.
To focus on connecting people of different ethnic groups to the history and accomplishments of people of African decent.
To always project a positive mood and image.
To be an example for other businesses to follow.
MMB's mandate is to be the best and most professional African American Book store in the country. We offer only quality products at a fair price.
Who We Are
Mood Makers is first and foremost an Independent African American bookstore with a focus on Books, Gifts and Art.
There are no strangers at Mood Makers Books. The mood is always friendly and pleasant. Our store is divided into four main areas for your convenience; books, greeting cards, gifts/collectibles and art gallery.
We provide a comfortable reading area. When you enter MMB, our trademark is the large diverse collection of children and adult books. From the atmosphere, you know you are in a space of comfort … just take your time and browse shelf after shelf of books by and about people of African descent.
As you browse the store you can't help but admire the sculptures of Thomas Blackshear's Ebony Vision Limited Edition and other notable art and figurine designers. You may want to take a few minutes and browse the original art or poetry. Studio 1 on the second floor host a number of events; open mic night, book clubs, book signings, workshops and community out-reach programs. Our annual "Poetry in the Window™" is one of the best attended events of the year. To get the feel of Mood Makers … you have to visit the store!
Our History
Mood Makers Books is the creation of Curtis and Marie Rivers. They wanted to create a bookstore that went beyond your usual formula bookstore. A store that would make people feel welcome without actually saying the words. The décor and atmosphere says Welcome!
Mood Makers Books was established in March of 1994 at the Village Gate Square, an old manufacturing building turned specialty mall with restaurants, gift shops, art studios and commercial offices. Village Gate is located on the east end of Rochester, New York, in a section of town known as the "Neighborhood of the Arts". A perfect place for a unique bookstore.
Mood Makers Books was first located on the third floor of Village Gate. The store space was small… just large enough to fit a few shelves of books with tall white walls, just right for displaying artwork. At first, MMB sold only original artwork by Thurman Rivers, brother of Curtis and a few books and cards. In the Fall of 1994 MMB moved into a much larger space, but by the summer of 1997 they were running out of space again and expanded next door.
The store continues to grow and they continued to expand the book and other product lines. In April of 2011 they moved to their present location on the first floor of Village Gate. Original art by Thurman Rivers of Nashville Tennessee is still a focal point. When visiting Rochester New York … don't forget to stop in at Mood Makers and let them "create the right mood" for you in Books, Art, Cards and Collectibles.

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – The New Zealand city of Christchurch on Friday marked the second anniversary of an earthquake that destroyed thousands of homes and killed 185 people.
Several hundred people gathered for a memorial service in Latimer Square, near where 115 died when a six-story office building collapsed during the magnitude-6.1 quake. Others placed flowers in road cones or tossed them into the Avon River to commemorate those who died.
Speaking at the event, Prime Minister John Key focused on rebuilding efforts. He said he understands there's frustration at the time it's taking to get homes rebuilt, but that in a few years, Christchurch will be "one of the best and most livable cities in the world."
People around New Zealand observed two minutes' silence at 12:51 p.m., the time the quake struck.

Liz Welch at Inc. Magazine interviewed me in 2010 as part of her regular "The Way I Work" series. I had just moved to Seattle as part of my overall goal of (occasionally) detaching myself Silicon Valley.
In the article I talk about my erratic sleep patterns and my overall weight gain – some 50 pounds since I started TechCrunch in 2005.
In the year since I visited a sleep center and began focusing on getting enough sleep at regular hours. After a year of that my life has changed dramatically for the better. But the weight just kept creeping up. In the late summer 2011 I was a good 70 pounds heavier than I was when I started TechCrunch. And probably 90 pounds over my ideal weight.
Basically, I'm fat.
Being fat sucks. I'm not talking about the way I look. I've always been fairly comfortable in my own skin. But there are a whole bevy of health issues that fat people have to deal with. You don't live as long as you should, and your quality of life is diminished substantially.
I'm trying to take control of this issue in my own way, and for the last several weeks I've been experimenting with a complete shift in lifestyle. So far, so good. And since a lot of people in our world deal are dealing with weight gain and health issues resulting from sitting in front of a computer for 16 hours a day, I thought I'd share.
The lightbulb went off in my head as I was reading Neal Stephenson's new book Reamde (buy it here). In the book a character works at his computer from a treadmill, stationary bike or elliptical machine.
That prompted me to research "treadmill desks" and read about people's experiences with them. Some people can't stick with it, but a lot do. And the benefits are staggering. You'll burn an extra 150 calories or so per hour. Most people say that they're significantly more alert during the day, and they sleep much better at night.
So I jumped in. I elected not to buy a $5,000 unit (there are a couple out there), and building one myself seemed like too much trouble. Instead I bought a "TrekDesk" on Amazon and a cheap treadmill. I've been walking at 1.5 mph for 7-8 hours a day on average over the last few weeks. Some days I'm logging over 15 miles walking.
That's not all though. I'm also using a Withings wifi scale to track my weight, and I've shared it with friends so they can keep an eye on it. The scale itself works great. The software is terrible but it does the job.
The final product I'm using is a Jawbone Up device. It's a pedometer (very handy), it tracks sleep and it has a vibrating alarm feature to wake me up – much like the Lark device that I love so much. The only complaint I have about the Jawbone Up is that it doesn't track steps very well on a treadmill with my hands up at a keyboard. But from what I can tell all pedometers seem to have this problem.
Things are just getting started. But the fact that I'm sleeping properly and have revamped my diet with my doctor, combined with actually walking miles and miles a day, has already had a profoundly positive effect on me.
I'll update in a couple of months with any progress. If all goes well, in a year or two my body may have forgiven me for the TechCrunch years. We'll see.

Fibromyalgia Support Group
Dear Editor,
Fibromyalgia is a real disease. It affects men, women and children. It is at least painful, and can be completely debilitating. It is far more common than most people imagine. The Owen County Fibromyalgia Support Group offers education, information and support to sufferers of fibromyalgia and their friends and families. The support group will resume meeting on Thursday, March 15 at 1:00 p.m. at the Owen County Art Guild. We are fortunate that a very experienced and well educated fibromyalgia sufferer has stepped up to take leadership of this group to share her knowledge and offer hope to sufferers and their support systems.
Jane Smidebush, a former member of the Indiana Governor's Rehabilitation Services Commission and the Kokomo Mayor's Council on Disability Issues, lives with her husband in Nashville, Indiana, where she continues to serve as an active community volunteer.
Her experience includes teaching special education in the Monroe County Community School Corporation in Bloomington and coordination of community education at Bona Vista Programs, a comprehensive rehabilitation agency in Kokomo. Her areas of responsibility at Bona Vista also included direct care, as well as development and implementation of individual program plans.
While in Kokomo, Mrs. Smidebush was a frequent speaker at schools, civic and community organizations and on area radio stations, and she became well known for her sensitivity awareness training pertaining to challenged individuals of all ages.
Having lived with fibromyalgia for many years, Mrs. Smidebush shares with her audiences a message of hope, health, and good humor for people with similar challenges.
Please come join Jane and others for this informative and encouraging session.

With the time delay function you can pre-select the programme for the desired start time. This allows you to handle your appliance conveniently, at any time during the day, during work hours or at night. After the start of the programme a display indicates the precise remaining time.
Benchmark® 24" Flush Handle Dishwasher Benchmark Series- Stainless steel SHP87PW55N
The MyWay™ Rack easily fits larger & deeper items like cereal bowls, freeing up extra space for pots & pans in the bottom rack.
- 42 dBA: Quietest Dishwasher Brand in the North America.
- The MyWay™ Rack gives you the industry's largest 3rd rack loading capacity.
- Speed60® gets your dishes from dirty to dry in about an hour.
- The EasyGlide™ rack system provides a smooth glide for easier loading & unloading on the upper rack.
- TimeLight™ beams the remaining cycle time on the floor.
Easy pre-select programme start for the desired start time.
LoadSensor automatically saves water and energy for fewer dishes.
The load weight is detected by a rotary speed sensor which recognizes the water level. For bigger loads, more water is needed to soak the dishes and the water level decreases. In that case more water is added. For smaller loads, less water is needed for rinsing. The load sensor provides for optimal water usage even for half loads or partial loads, saving water and electricity.
HalfLoad option: saves time, water and electricity.
Sometimes you can't wait for the dishwasher to be full before you need to clean your dishes. With the HalfLoad option this is not a problem because it is an ideal cycle for washing fewer dishes. That's how you do not only save water but also save time.
Height-adjustable up to 5 cm at 3 levels even with a fully loaded top basket
Thanks to the triple Rackmatic system, the height of the top basket can easily be adjusted by up to 5 cm. And you can do this when it's fully loaded. That means even more adjustment options and thus maximum flexibility.
TimeLight: exact remaining time is clearly projected onto the floor.
Thanks to TimeLight you are informed that your dishwasher is operating and the remaining time of operation is displayed on the floor. In addition also the current progress of operation is shown.
SuperSilence: exceptionally quiet operation at only 40-45 dB.
The electronically operated engine and many noise reduction measures, secure the exceptionally quiet operation of our SuperSilence dishwashers. Advantageous for eat-in kitchen or open areas.

The death count has been rising rapidly in the Bangladesh garment factory collapse. More than 200 people have been found dead so far.
Early Wednesday, the top floors of the factory came crashing down on those below. The owners of the factory built three additional floors on top of the five that were already existing, and the foundation was not meant to support the extra weight.
Experts say these disasters will become more common in Bangladesh as people continue to construct buildings illegally and with little oversight.

i still can't believe how much they put into a scene filler Jedi from AOTC, but atleast he's a big EU bad guy, otherwise it would have been really odd. since i know him from the EU, this was a figure i was determined to get no matter what. and so starts the story:my wife and i go to the mall after she gets off work, eat dinner look at a bunch of stores and finnally end up in target. i head for the toy aisle only to find a Ebayer and his son poaching the pegs clean at 8:38 at night. ofcourse they got the only Sora Bulg to be found, so i waited them out as they continued to annoy the workers into looking in the back for them. when my moment came i seized it and charged to their carts, grabbed sora with their backs turned and got the hell outta there.

Ann Romney's Work Choices Miss the Point
by: Valerie Elverton-Dixon on April 13th, 2012 | 6 Comments »
The flash controversy sparked by comments made by Democratic strategist Hillary Rosen saying that presumptive Republican nominees for President Mitt Romney's reliance on his wife's reports regarding women and the economy were meaningless because Ann Romney had never worked "a day in her life" has taken us back to an old discussion that in my opinion misses the point.
I must confess that it took me a long time to warm to feminism, especially to the writings of Betty Friedan and the ideas of the "Feminine Mystique" that argued for women leaving the ennui of a suburban housewife's life to employ her mind and talents in the paid workforce. I was the first generation of women in my family who had a choice about whether or not to work outside of the home. My mother was a school teacher; my grandmother was a cook in white homes in the south; and my great-grandmother was a share cropper. Her foremothers were slaves.
I also did not warm immediately to this idea because my question was then as it is now: what about the rights of the women who will do the housework and raise the children while women are working outside the home?
I have been a married stay at home mom. I have been a married work outside the home mom. I have been a single work outside the home mom. And, in every instance, my family and I needed help. We depended upon community. Hillary Rosen told the truth when she pointed out that Ann Romney may not be the best source of information on the economic difficulties that most women in this society face. I have no doubt that Ann Romney has household help. I do not picture her dusting the inside of the car elevator in the Romney's house. My questions: Is the household staff paid a decent wage? Do they receive benefits such as social security and health care? How much vacation time do they receive?
When I was a married mom working outside the house, it was difficult. My husband's work schedule was such that I found myself having to wash, dress and feed my two young children and myself and get the children to two different day care situations all before I went to work to start my day. I relied heavily on our extended family during those days. My mother-in-law and sisters and brothers-in-law pitched in to help.
When I was a stay at home mom, I relied on my husband to take care of the children from time to time so that I could do something outside the home just for me, taking a class or doing volunteer work. It was necessary for my mental health. When the children were old enough for school, I used my time to volunteer at church with the food pantry or with the Missionary Society to visit the sick or to shop for food to stock the food pantry. I enjoyed this time because of the company of retired elder women who also had free time during the day. During this part of my life, I also accompanied my children's classes on school trips. I could attend their various school activities.
When I was a single working mom, this was the most difficult situation of all. My children were old enough to let themselves in the house after school and do their homework until I returned from work. Again, I needed the help of an extended community of people. One day, the lock on one of the doors to our house broke and the children could not get in. They waited. When it was nearly dark, they went around to the community center at Grace Baptist Church of Germantown. The director called one of the elder women who was my friend from the Missionary Society and she fed them sweet potato pie and milk. The children had left me a note, so I could find them. I will always be grateful for the community of support that I received during those days.
I have always advocated for better child care options for families. This should include after school enrichment programs both public and private. The real issue here is not whether or not women who stay at home with their children work or how hard they work. Let us not forget The Help. The question here is Mitt Romney's POLICIES. He has given tepid support to equal pay for equal work laws. Republicans in the Congress opposed the law. The Paul Ryan budget that he favors would cut taxes on the rich, but not so much for middle and working class families. It does nothing to address the gross income inequality in the nation. This inequality falls heavily on women who do not receive equal pay. The tax cuts and the budget cuts would leave little federal money to support after school programs that would help women who work outside the home and their families. He ridicules western European nations, but they have better child care arrangements and more help for families than does the United States.
Further, his positions on defunding Planned Parenthood, his support for the idea that employers ought to have the right to refuse to pay insurance coverage for any drug or medical procedure that the employer finds objectionable – the Blunt/Rubio Amendment – and his idea that a zygote ought to enjoy legal personhood to the disadvantage of a full grown tax-paying woman are policy positions that are anathema to women whether or not his wife worked inside the home.
This will be an election of a communal vision of responsibility against the idea that the individual and their nuclear family are on their own. The latter is just not the truth.

Leo Komarov via Wikimedia commons
An interview with Leafs fourth liner Leo Komarov popped up in Sport RU this morning. Pension Plan Puppets has a translation, where on first glance it appears that the Maple Leafs may lose their pesky Uncle Leo to the KHL and Dynamo Moscow:
– Maybe it's time to come back to Dynamo?
– My contract with Toronto is over. There are negotiations about coming back to Dynamo. Maybe. Or I could go to Australia, I think there's a hockey league, too.
That doesn't really pass the smell test, however.
I fired off an email to our buddy Andrey Osadchenko, who knows Komarov and enough about the Russian press to know that a lot of interviews are set up to get catchy quotes rather than to learn anything about the player or game. Here's what Andrey has to say:
Reporter tried to provoke him to say Leo wasn't happy with the Leafs. Leo said he was really happy and blah-blah-blah. Reporter asked if Leo thought it was time for him to come back to Dynamo. Leo laughed and said 'Maybe. Or maybe I should sign in Australia. I hear they have a hockey league there, too'.
"It was quite clearly a joke" Andrey said in a follow-up message.
Komarov's a good guy to have around. He won't score 20 goals anytime soon, but Komarov can kill penalties and has filled in on the checking line. He can also take the odd faceoff, but it's sort of redundant when he plays on a line with Jay McClement, since both are left shooters.
I haven't done the leg-work to figure out exactly how valuable Komarov is, but he's probably anywhere between $1M and $1.5M, a little better than replacement because he's close to average defensively. Still, I don't think Komarov has come to the NHL in his rookie year, didn't like what he saw, and is going to bolt immediately to Russia. Sarcasm doesn't come across well in translations, and the joke becomes obvious when Leo starts talking about the Australian league.

Oct 24, 2007
Hello, I am concerned about reinfection with HIV after receiving new lab results. I never had unprotected sex but the head of a penis with semen has pressed against (not inserted) my anus a few times (I was not on medicine at this time). My anus is senstive and gets red and irritated easily (sometimes even bleeds lightly because of excess skin from a previous hemmeroid). Just today I received lab results and my cd4 count was 567 when about ten months ago the results have shown a count of 768 (Viral Load was missing in the lab test results). Should I be concerned about reinfection? Is this the type of CD4 cell drop that's seen with reinfection? I have been positive since the end of 2000 and this took place at the end of 2006. I have been off meds since 2005 (2yrs)
Response from Dr. Wohl
It is most likely that the change in the CD4 cell count had nothing to do with re-infection with HIV. This type of decline may be due to the expected progression of HIV, lab variability or the natural variability in this cell count.
Repeating the test and looking to see if the CD4% (the percent of your white cells that are CD4 cells) has changed can help make it clearer if there has been a significant change in your count.
Re-infection can happen and I would bet the type of exposure you decribed presents a risk. Insisting on a condom even if there is no full insertion would be much safer.
Just diagnosed
Why fix it if it ain't broke?

In the savory Buddy Miles song "Them Changes," the singer complains that he feels he's going out of his mind. Of this much I am certain. Jeremiah Wright continues to go through "them changes." It is "them changes" that first attracted Barack Obama to him.
Yesterday Wright complained that he had been unable to speak with his most prominent former parishioner because of "them Jews." That seemed clear enough. Wright apparently feels that Rahm Emanuel is preventing him from getting through to Obama.
Today, however, Wright "clarified" his remarks. When he said "Jews," he really meant "Zionists." Wright claims that he misspoke in haste.
This is one of those "clarifications" that itself requires clarification. Who are the "Zioniists" preventing Reverend Wright from reuniting with President Obama?
JOHN adds: This is really sinister. For several decades now, Arab terrorists have slyly told the world that they don't hate Jews, only "Zionists." "Zionists" are defined as Jews who are within range. For Wright to adopt this evasion seems telling, even given what we already knew about him.

This portable solar power generator system is super lightweight, the case weighs 4.2 pounds and the 36w solar panel weighs 3.2 pounds for a total of 7.4 pounds. The 60w Thin Film portable solar panel shown in the pictures weighs 6.5 pounds for a total weight of 10.7 pounds.
We are also now offering this system with our new 50w Hi Efficiency folding solar panels shown at this LINK . The 50w Hi Efficiency panel has a weight of 7.2 pounds, that gives us a total system weight of 11.4 pounds.
Different solar panel options are available which will increase or decrease the cost depending on which solar panel you are interested in. If you need a super light weight system you can go with our Hi Efficiency folding 36w or 60w solar panels.
This system has a 5 Amp - 65W Solar Panel Charging input that uses the latest technology called MPPT which stands for Maximum Power Point Tracking. The benefit of MPPT is that it always maximizes the output of the attached solar panels, up to 30% more power can be harvested by using MPPT solar tracking vs not using it.
You can recharge the battery from Empty to 100% Full in 2 hours if you supply the system with 65 watts of solar panel input power.
The case has a 12v Cigarette Lighter output port that has a max output power rating of 200 watts of power. You plug your devices into the 12v Cigarette Lighter outlet to power them. When the battery is fully drained the output will automatically turn off. Simply plug in the solar panel or AC battery charger to recharge the battery.
The 10 Amp Hour battery stores 128 Watt Hours of Power. So if your devices consume 20 watts of power this system could power that load for 6+ hours before it would be completely drained.
This system has enough power to fully recharge a medium sized laptop 2-3 times in a row. Easily power your laptop + cellphone with this system.
If you need a system for night lighting then this will easily provide enough power to run our 12v LED lights for all night long.
This system is waterproof so no need to worry if you leave it outside in the rain while you are recharging the system with the solar panels. Most other systems are not waterproof and will fail if left out when its raining.
A 12v to 120v AC inverter is included with the system that provides you with a regular AC Power outlet like you have at home so you can plug in all your devices that consume up to or less than 200 watts of power via regular 120v AC power plugs that you normally plug into the wall.
There is a built in battery voltage meter beneath top panel that shows you the current battery voltage which gives you a generic indication of the state of charge of the battery. The more you use the system with the same equipment the more you will be able to gauge how charged the battery is at any given time. Fully charged is 14.2V, Full drained is 10V.
The system comes with a 3 Amp AC battery charger to fully recharge the battery from dead to full in 4 hours.
The Pelican cases are super tough and Mil Spec tested and approved. The cases are available in Black, Tan, Olive Drab, Yellow, and Orange upon request.
This system is built to order so please allow up to 30 days for shipment. If you need the system ASAP please contact us for a urgent order.
If you have questions about this system please email us by clicking the Question's button on the left hand side of this webpage, or send email to firstname.lastname@example.com, or call Ryan @ 765-517-1210
The + version of the LFP 10 System was designed for people who need...
10W 5v USB Mini Wind Turbine TOP FEATURES: Charges any device (cell phone, tablet, etc)...
Larger capacity solar chargers such as those are great for when you need more recharging...

This month, we wanted to show our readers some tech that most of us can do at right at home. We visited Cars Inc., in Fullerton, CA, a shop that has been in business for over 35 years and has become a key figure in the Impala restoration world. They are the leaders in sheet metal replacement and have become the standard for interior restoration. With that said, we picked up a dash pad cover for a '69 Impala that we wanted to use in a restoration piece. When we picked it up, we realized that this dash pad cover would be easy to add to the original dash pad and also customize it, giving our interior a custom look. Loving custom cars like we do, I'm sure you can guess how this tech piece had to turn out. As we walked off with the Cars Inc., dash pad, our minds spun as we remembered that Summit Racing has a great selection of automotive bodywork supplies at reasonable prices.
After going through the Summit Racing Catalog and website, we ordered the supplies that we needed to help us trick out the dash. Whether you're working on a barn-find basket case or simply keeping your Lowrider's finish fresh, they have everything you need to create and maintain the flawless look that you want for your vehicle. If you're starting from the ground-up, they have the resto products you need, like body fillers, rust removers, and interior dyes. Want to make an unforgettable first impression? Create a one-of-a-kind look with their selection of professional paints and choose from their premium-quality washes, polishes, and waxes to keep that showroom shine. Now follow along, as we use some Summit Racing body and paint supplies to mold up the Cars Inc., dash pad.
1. This dash was the original one and it had to be restored, whether it was to be upholstered or painted.
2. The weather had really taken its toll on the dash pad, as it had dried out and cracked from the elements.
3. The edges of the dash pad were cleaned up before the dash cover was installed.
4. The high spots on the cracks needed to be knocked down, so the surface was even when the dash was installed.
5. All of the high spots were knocked down, and the Cars Inc., dash pad cover was ready to be attached.
6. It's always a good thing to read the instructions before jumping in head first.
7. The inside of the dash pad cover was scuffed up so the adhesives could make a good bond between the dash pad and the dash cover.
8. The dash pad was cleaned using some Eastwood prep cleaner.
9. The dash pad was wiped clean to ensure a strong bond.
10. The dash pad received some glue around all of the key parts, assuring the panel didn't come loose.
11. In the sections that we thought would take a lot of stress, we made sure that there was a strong bond as we used some super glue.
12. We purchased supplies through Summit Racing, who has competitive pricing in automotive paint supplies.
13. To keep the edges from lifting, we used some kitty hair fiberglass.
14. When molding panels like this, you need to make sure that all of your components that you want to keep still fit in the proper places.
15. Once you know everything is in place, you can sand down the whole dash to knock down the texture and assure a good bond between the high-build primer and the dash pad.
16. After spraying and letting the high build primer dry over night, it was ready to be sanded.
17. The high build primer needs to be sanded down in order to knock down the texture.
18. After shooting the dash pad with more sealer and high build primer, it was ready to receive paint, as we mounted it one last time in the dash before spraying it with the final finish.

Intel Corp showed off hybrid tablets and ultrabook laptops with voice and gesture interfaces along with an upcoming low-power chip in a bid to convince Wall Street that a slump in the personal computer industry is only temporary.
Continue Reading Below
At the annual Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, the company demonstrated sleek "ultrabook" laptops with improved gesture- and voice-recognition technology, similar to features already found on some smartphones.
Intel's upcoming processor, code-named Haswell and due to appear in a crop of laptops during next year's holiday season, will improve on computing and graphics features and is targeted to reduce electricity consumption from 17 watts to 10 watts, according to the company.
"It was designed with mobility in mind ... from sleek tablets to ultrabooks to high-performing desktops," said David Perlmutter, general manager of Intel's Architecture Group.
For Intel, showing off its most recent innovations at the forum this week is key to convincing investors and hardware developers that the PC industry remains innovative and still has a future.
Perlmutter pointed to tablets with extendable screens and laptops with removable keyboards as devices that he said might catch on with the upcoming release of Microsoft Corp's Windows 8, which will feature touch capability.
The top chipmaker cut its third-quarter revenue estimate more than expected on Friday due to a decline in demand for its chips as customers reduce inventories and businesses buy fewer PCs.

Shares of Intel were up 1.4 percent at $23.58 in afternoon trading.
