HP Notebook PCs - Cleaning your Notebook PC
This document tells you how to clean your notebook computer. Dust, cigarette ash, pet hair, and other particles can accumulate on or inside the notebook computer. When this happens, they form a layer of grime that can scratch or shorten the life of hardware components by causing overheating. Cleaning the notebook computer can extend its life by getting rid of this potentially damaging buildup. It is recommended to inspect your system for cleanliness once a month as part of a regular maintenance program.
warning:Before cleaning the notebook computer, perform these steps to reduce the risk of electrical shock:
- Turn off the computer.
- Unplug the power cord from the computer.
Clean the Cooling Vents
Depending on the model, vents can be found on the side, back, and/or bottom of the notebook computer. These vents allow air to flow through the computer and keep it cool. Buildup inside these vents impedes the cooling process. Purchase a can of compressed air (available at most computer retailers) and blow the particles out of the vents. See Reducing Heat Inside the PC for more information about cleaning the cooling vents.
Clean I/O Ports
The back of the notebook computer has a series of ports. After cleaning the cooling vents, take the compressed air and blow out any debris that may have accumulated in and around these ports.
Clean the Display
LCD screens accumulate smudges and scratches all the time. To clean these, choose a non-abrasive cloth or towel. Shut the computer off and disconnect the power cable. Wipe the LCD screen gently with a soft dry cloth. If any marks remain, moisten the cloth with LCD cleaner, and then gently stroke the cloth across the display in one direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom. Plastic and glass cleaners containing ammonia may leave a glare-causing film, so use a computer monitor specific cleaner from a computer store. Spray the cleaner onto the cloth, and then wipe the screen with it.
- Isopropyl Alcohol is a flammable liquid.
- Never spray or pour any liquid directly on the LCD panel.
- Do not clean the screen while the system is on.
note:Do not use any of the following chemicals or any solutions that contain them: Acetone, ethyl alcohol, toluene, ethyl acid, ammonia, or methyl chloride. If you have a different chemical or solution and are not sure whether it is suitable, do not use it. Using any of the chemicals in the previous list may cause permanent damage to the LCD screen. Some commercial window cleaners contain ammonia and are therefore unacceptable.
Be sure the LCD screen is dry before closing it or using the computer.
LCD Maintenance
Follow these tips to avoid damage to the LCD display.
- Do not place anything heavy on the notebook.
- When using a carrying case or backpack, do not overstuff the carrying case. This can apply extra pressure to the notebook case and LCD back.
- Do not scratch, twist or hit the surface of the LCD screen.
- Avoid subjecting the LCD screen to extremes of temperature and humidity.
- Avoid exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight or strong fluorescent light for long periods of time.
- Avoid hard physical shocks to the system.
Clean the Keyboard
If a small vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment is available, use it to clear the keyboard of debris. A can of compressed air can be used to blow out particles that get in between the keys.

I've sadly neglected you, my blogging friends and I really have no excuse. But I'll make it up to you today with a little post about my visit to Curve Lake.
I picked up my friend, Alex and we took a little drive out to the Curve Lake reserve. I want some moccasins. My niece wears them all the time and was telling me how comfortable they were and I needed to get some too. I started looking but the ones you could buy in shoes stores just looked fake to me. They have this wonderful store and gallery, Whetung's and it is only a half an hour drive away. So I decided that is where I would buy my moccasins. Here's a close-up view.
I'm so happy with them. They are so cozy but I can already see that I'll have to save them from Finn. While I was writing this blog, he started to cart one away. It must be the fur.

Disney's Star Tours Star Wars simulator ride has gone through a renovation and has re-opened...with a parody of TSA checkpoints. It makes waiting in line a lot more enjoyable as Jedis are walking by, luggage is being sorted and Droids are yelling at you.
The second room of the queue is now a security check area, similar to a TSA checkpoint. The two G-series droids are still there, G2-9T scanning luggage and G2-4T scanning passengers...
While we won't tell you why, you'll enjoy paying a lot of attention to what the scans of the luggage show is inside. When it's your turn to go through the passenger scan (a thermal body scan), you may be verbally accosted by a security droid. Also, keep an eye out in the queue for an earlier version of RX-24 ("Captain Rex") from the original Star Tours; he's labelled "defective" and has some familiar dialogue.
As most of us are forced to deal with the TSA when we travel, it's pretty funny to see Disney mocking them through imitation. [Schneier via BoingBoing]

Piedad "Piddy" Sanchez doesn't sit at the "Latino lunch table" in her new school's cafeteria. With her light skin, good grades, and lack of an accent, the girls at the "Latino" table don't consider her Latina enough. To make things worse, her body has apparently begun to develop and boys are taking notice. Piddy is accused of "shaking her stuff" when she walks, and Yaqui Delgado, a girl with a reputation and a criminal record, lets it be known that she, along with her gang of friends, are going to kick Piddy's ass.
If this were Piddy's only problem, life would be difficult enough, but Piddy is dealing with a lot more than that; a father she's never met, her best friend moving away, juggling a part-time job with her mother's impossible expectations – all while trying to figure out that inevitable coming-of-age question, "Who am I?"
Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass by Meg Medina is a YA (Young Adult) novel that took me, (as a 30-something year old), right back to the insecure days of the high school hallway. I read this book in one sitting and loved it – If I had a teenage daughter, I would be putting it into her hands right now. (I have a teenage son and I'll try to convince him to read it, but it seems boys never want to read books with a female protagonist.)
Piddy's voice feels authentic; her situation and the challenges she faces are ones a lot of teenage girls, (Latina and otherwise), are going to relate to. The diverse cast of characters are equally complex and real. These are the kinds of Latino/a characters we need more of, in YA literature especially.
One word of caution – Piddy is 15 years old, going on 16. There are some mature themes and I would recommend this book for girls no younger than 13 years old.

For basic nontoxic stain removal, mix up a little grandmother knowledge and apply it liberally.
The principles behind creating stain removers -- or nearly all household cleaners -- are relatively simple. Some kinds of stains respond to alkaline minerals such as borax and soap, others to acids like vinegars.
This bit of "grandmother knowledge" is used to formulate not only the nontoxic cleaners made from kitchen-cabinet ingredients, but also many modern chemical home cleaners. Whether for health or home, those folk remedies that have stood the test of time have generally been based on sound chemistry.
Formulas concocted using grandmother knowledge work perfectly well for removing stains. There is no reason to use anything toxic; with a few natural ingredients, you can solve even the toughest problems.
Stain Solutions
These techniques are safe on most fabrics, but do not use alkaline materials (borax or soap) on wool or silk; these fabrics only tolerate acids like vinegar or lemon juice. Spot-test first to make sure the remedy is compatible with the dyes. These basic minerals and acids need time to work their magic; most treatments should be left on the stains for at least half an hour, in some cases longer. After treating the fabric, launder as appropriate.
Stain: Berries
Natural Solution: White vinegar or lemon juice; washing soda
Instructions: Soak stains in white vinegar or lemon juice for one hour; rinse. If there is some remaining stain, dampen the area with water, make a paste of equal parts washing soda and water, and rub it in gently.
Stain: Blood
Natural Solution: Cold water; hydrogen peroxide; corn starch
Instructions: Soak in cold water. For stubborn stains, soak in hydrogen peroxide (a natural bleach; spot-test to make sure it won't affect the fabric). Or use a paste of equal parts corn starch and cold water.
Stain: Chocolate
Natural Solution: Vegetable-based detergent or soap; digestive enzymes
Instructions: Mix 1 teaspoon liquid soap or detergent with 1 cup of water, and soak the stained area. To remove the dairy component, buy digestive-enzyme tablets at a natural-foods store, grind up three or four tablets, and add equal parts water to make a damp paste. Gently rub the solution into the stain. Leave for at least one hour.
Stain: Coffee and Tea
Natural Solution: White vinegar or lemon juice; cream of tartar
Instructions: Soak the stain in straight white vinegar or lemon juice for one hour. If there was milk in the tea or coffee, follow directions for removing dairy protein under "Chocolate." Alternatively, clean with a paste made of cream of tartar and water.
Stain: Egg
Natural Solution: Cold water; digestive enzymes
Instructions: Soak the garment in cold water. If some egg remains, follow directions for using enzymes under "Chocolate."
Stain: Grass
Natural Solution: White vinegar
Instructions: Soak the area in white vinegar for one hour. Alternatively, use an enzyme paste (see "Chocolate."
Stain: Grease
Natural Solution: Vegetable-based detergent or soap; washing soda
Instructions: Sometimes just blotting the stain with detergent is all you need. If the stain remains, make a paste of equal parts washing soda and water and gently rub it in. Leave for at least one hour.
Stain: Gum
Natural Solution: Ice
Instructions: Freeze with a wrapped ice cube, then peel off the frozen gum.
Stain: Ink
Natural Solution: White vinegar; milk
Instructions: Soak in milk or white vinegar.
Stain: Paint
Natural Solution: Citrus solvent
Instructions: Soak the area in citrus solvent for 10 minutes.
Stain: Perspiration
Natural Solution: Shampoo
Instructions: Saturate the area with shampoo, then launder as usual. If the perspiration stains remain, use an enzyme paste (see "Chocolate.")
Stain: Tomato Sauce
Natural Solution: White vinegar; washing soda; borax
Instructions: Soak in white vinegar. Alternatively, make a paste of equal parts washing soda or borax and water and rub in gently.
Stain: Wax
Natural Solution: Hot iron
Instructions: Place a clean cotton rag over the wax and iron, making sure not to overheat the fabric. Blot the melted wax with an absorbent rag as you go to remove the residue.
Stain: Wine
Natural Solution: Boiling water; club soda
Instructions: Stretch the fabric over a bowl, then pour boiling water from a height of two to three feet. Or rinse the stain with club soda.
More Natural Stain Fighters
Lemon Juice: A natural bleach, acidic lemon juice help with alkaline stains such as grass, tarnish, and minerals.
Borax: This alkaline mineral is good for acid and protein stains.
Corn Starch: Made from corn, corn starch is very absorbent. Works well on protein stains. Diluted and sprayed on clothes, it's a natural starch.
Vegetable-Based Soap: Better for the environment than petroleum-based detergents, vegetable soaps help with greasy stains. Castile soap, made primarily from olive oil, may be the easiest to find.
Cream of Tartar: A natural by-product of winemaking, cream of tartar is good for stains like tea or coffee. Generally color-safe.
Citrus Solvent: A less-toxic alternative to solvents like acetone, citrus solvent is available online or at some hardware stores. It's used for paint, rust, and nail polish.
Club Soda: The water and bubbles help lift acidic stains like wine and berries.

The mantra at the beginning of the year was don't break up 14-71-18....well, maybe it's time to put them back together for the playoffs.
We know that line clicks and - frankly - Crosby can make any line look great (and I would expect that to happen with Iggy).
I agree 100%....and with 87 playing with a broken jaw it won't hurt to have a little protection on his line with Iginla.

Gordon Brown branded hypocrite over UFO hacker Gary McKinnon
PUBLISHED: 15:01 08 January 2010 | UPDATED: 15:05 08 January 2010
THE mother of an autistic man wanted in America on computer hacking charges has labelled Gordon Brown a hypocrite after he tried to halt the execution of a Brit convicted of drug smuggling in China.
Janis Sharp, from Brookmans Park, hit out after the PM pleaded with the Chinese authorities to spare Akmal Shaikh, the Londoner put to death on December 29 despite concerns he was mentally ill.
She applauded the premier's intervention, but said it contrasted sharply with the Government's stance over her son Gary McKinnon.
Asperger's sufferer Gary faces up to 60 years in a US jail if he is extradited and convicted of computer hacking.
But Janis believes her son would be at risk of committing suicide should he be put on a plane to America.
She said: "Gordon Brown wrung his hands over the execution of a mentally ill British drugs carrier in China.
"Yet he and his Government remain complicit in the US authorities' hounding of my vulnerable son, despite knowing that, for Gary, extradition amounts to nothing less than a death sentence, given his growing mental instability."
She added: "Why can't the UK just ask our supposedly strongest ally, President Obama, to show clemency towards Gary by cancelling the extradition request and allowing a UK prosecution?"

Many of my chemically sensitive clients have reactions from inhaling, eating, and skin/air contact with chemicals.
Haptens effect on the immune system supports why they can wear a gas mask in a perfumey room and still get sick.
I haven't seen anyone else online talking about haptens and I've noticed that a lot of my allergies and chemical sensitivities have improved by reducing my hapten exposure.
In study models, haptens can be used in to induce food intolerance, chemical sensitivities, skin disease, and autoimmunity.
In this post, we will discuss the how haptens may have detrimental effects on humans.Read more

Man Crates should actually be synonymous with Father's Day. If you look up Father's Day Gift in the dictionary, there should be a picture of a Man Crate in all its manly glory. It is a rite of passage, it is all that is manly… it is… a Man Crate. The Grill Master Crate (there are many) let's you grill like… (how did they put it on their website?..) a "Grill-ionaire". LOL!
The Grill Master Crate comes with the following:
- A big Man Crate (Complete with Crowbar to pry the top off)
- a cast-iron smoker box (it's about 4x2x2 and you fill it full of water soaked wood chips to impart that lovely smoked flavor to your meat)
- Wood Chips – a small bag of just enough wood chips to put in your little smoker
- brass-knuckle meat tenderizer (not actually made of brass… but given the name to impart the idea of how they work)
- four steak thermometers (because using one is a pain in the ass and you can have four to monitor more. It's a man thing, more is always better)
- Bone Doctors' BBQ Sauces – (the site says 3 sauces and a spice blend but we got 2 sauces and a spice blend). (No Fire&Brimstone Hot Sauce in our box)
The Grill Master Crate is running $109.99 and they have a Fedex Ground Home Delivery option that is pretty reasonable. Expect to pay about $140 though to get it to your Dad on time. This is an excellent 2013 Father's Day Gift List idea. We give the Man Crate Grill Master Edition 4 out of 5 stars.

Former state Senate staffer submits "Mad Men" style photo in contest
What do you get when you combine politics and TV, two of the must numbing hobbies known to man?
You get a former state Senate staffer trying to win a Mad Men look-alike contest.
Zach Zaslow and his financee Betsy App love the AMC show so they decided their engagement photo shoot should have a similar theme — a sunny morning picnic in the early 1960s. The coupleo will marry Saturday in Wash Park.
They recently found out Mad Men is having a photo look-alike contest so their photographer, Adam Weklak, submitted a picture of App with Zaslow in the background (the rules require the photo to be primarily of one person.)
Zaslow now works at The Children's Hospital, but has appealed to his former legislative posse – he has a number of friends on both sides of the aisle — to vote for their picture. You can check out the shot here.
The winner gets to be on the show.
"That would be an awesome wedding present," Zaslow said.

Arlington National Cemetery is a world famous shrine and is supposed to set an example for other military cemeteries throughout the nation. That status was badly damaged when an Army Inspector General's investigation in 2009 found widespread instances of unmarked graves at Arlington, along with improper handling of remains and errors in the burial records.
In an era of sophisticated computer and IT technologies, cemetery employees had been using 3x5-inch cards and paper maps to document the more than 400,000 burial records and 260,000 gravesites.
(Pictured above, from left: ANC's Tae Sun Shin, Christopher G. Thornton, CW2 Craig Campbell, Mary Lynn Malone, Maj. Nicholas Miller, Ashley Talley, Steven Dawson, Margot Flowers, Daniel Gardner.)
The ANC Explorer is the public-facing part of the Army's answer to this disturbing problem. It's a Web and smart-phone application that visitors to the cemetery will be able to use to pinpoint exactly where loved ones are buried, along with providing precise directions to their gravesite. Virtual visitors also will be able to see images of the headstones in the cemetery and gravesites of notables buried there.
"The vision behind this was, what is needed for a family member coming to the cemetery and being able to find out where their loved one is buried?" said Maj. Nicholas Miller, the ANC's CIO. "Many come but then don't come back for five, 10 and even 20 years, and as the cemetery grows, the memory of that day is rapidly outpaced by how the dynamics of the cemetery have changed."
Miller and his team in the CIO's office instituted a massive data collection effort using a custom iPhone application to record the front and back of each headstone in the cemetery. They tagged and linked the app with Global Positioning System coordinates and packaged it for delivery into a SQL database.
So, not only does the public have a geographic information system smart-phone app, but the Arlington IT group can use the same technology to power its day-to-day operations and business workflow.
The technology is managed through an enterprise architecture that Miller said provides an accurate, multi-year roadmap for where the technology needs to go. Arlington National Cemetery also now has a fully resourced and funded IT organization, which it didn't have prior to a June 2010 reorganization.
For Miller, the current ANC Explorer program is just the start of what he believes can be accomplished now that everything from scheduling of burials to pictures of gravesites and headstones are integrated into the workflow.
"Now that the business systems are automated," he said, "we're looking at how we can use this rich data to enhance the experience for family members and allow them to explore this wonderful national military shrine."

Jim Byrnes - House Of Refuge
Sample Songs:
Didn't It Rain
Of Whom Shall I Be Afraid
Running Out Of Time
Big Bill's Blues
Lay Me Down Sweet Jesus
Be Ready When He Comes
The Death Of Ernesto Guevara
Last Fair Deal Gone Down
Fortify Me
The Beast In Me
…songs of hope and longing and sin and redemption…
On House of Refuge, multi nominated and Juno Award winner Jim Byrnes has dug deep into the traditions that have influenced the whole of his life. Growing up on the north side of St. Louis, Byrnes was surrounded by the likes of Chuck Berry, Johnny Johnson, and Ike and Tina Turner. Over the years Jim has appeared with a virtual who's who of musical history including Furry Lewis, Henry Townsend, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins, Taj Mahal, Robert Cray, and Ray Charles. With House of Refuge, Jim Byrnes has let this life wash over him and come up with perhaps the most inspired and soulful album of his already accomplished and storied career.
Recorded and produced in Vancouver by another Juno Award winner Steve Dawson, House of Refuge is the follow up to 2004's "Fresh Horses" and is much more than just a gospel tinged record. It is a twelve track long player of songs and stories of deep soul and faith all brought to breathe by a lust for life and a deference for death. Besides Byrnes and Dawson on guitars, the album features Jesse Zubot on fiddle and mandolin, Elliot Polsky on percussion and drums, Keith Lowe on double bass, Chris Gestrin on keyboard/organ/accordion and the gospel trio The Sojourners on vocals who are Marcus Mosely, Will Sanders, and Ron Small.
Starting with a stirring a capella section from The Sojourners, the traditional album opener "Didn't It Rain" then launches into a powerful back beat of hope and salvation. This is quickly followed by two songs Byrnes penned when he was in Lithuania shooting the feature film Highlander - The Source. While the gorgeous "Of Whom Shall I Be Afraid" is a nod to the 27th Psalm, the slowly urgent death chaser "Running Out Of Time", was written by Byrnes in the time it takes to sing it. Another Byrnes original, "The Death of Ernesto" was written in the middle of the night in the Utah Mountains after meeting Che Guevara in a dream. Whether it is the uplifting interpretation of the "Father Of Gospel" Thomas A. Dorsey's "Today" or the ghost of legendary WLAC DJ John R in Robert Johnson's "Last Fair Deal Gone Down" or even Jim's version of young Canadian songwriter Justin Rutledge's "Lay Me Down Sweet Jesus", this is not just a trip, it is a journey. When the bone chilling curtain call closer of Nick Lowe's "The Beast In Me" comes to an end, House of Refuge is a journey you will want to trip through again and again.
Jim Byrnes and his acoustic band has been a major draw at festivals and shows all over Canada the last 2 years and this year should be no different. Watch for Jim and the band as they tour to support their new album. From their House of Refuge all the way to yours.

LANCASTER, Pa. – Seven Diplomats have been selected for induction into Franklin & Marshall College's Athletics Hall of Fame. Penny Blakeman '86, John Hargreaves '74, Alex Kraft '02, Justin Salton '03, Joseph Schaller '82, Dale Schleif '73, and Jennifer Slaybuagh '92, will be inducted as part of October's Homecoming Weekend festivities.
Blakeman swam as a freshman and senior, earning MVP and All-America honors in both years. She earned All-American certificates in the 50-yard backstroke, and the 100-yard butterfly and backstroke in 1983. In 1986, she was an All-American in the 100-yard backstroke. She established several pool and college records while competing for F&M. Blakeman also represented Puerto Rico in the Pan American games.
Hargreaves was the 1974 recipient of the Garrigues Award, presented to the most outstanding male athlete in the graduating class. He earned eight varsity letters between track & field and cross country, and was a multiple-year captain of both teams. In 1971 and 1972, he was the recipient of the Morgan Person Trophy awarded to the cross country team's top runner. He was the 1973 and 1974 Thomas Floyd Trophy recipient, given to the top track athlete.
Kraft is one of the most decorated players in F&M's storied basketball tradition. He was a 2000 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) First Team All-American and in 2001, was given Honorable Mention. He was named the Centennial Conference Player of the Year in each of those seasons, and was a four-time All-Centennial choice. Kraft finished his career fourth on the career scoring list at F&M with 1,593 points. He ranked fourth at the time of his graduation in rebounds with 698. He remains fifth in career rebounds.
Salton was given Honorable Mention on the D3Football.com All-American teams following the 2002 and 2003 seasons. He was an ECAC All-Southwest First Team selection and a Don Hansen's Football Gazette All-Region First Team choice in each of those years as well. His 241 career receptions are the gold standard at F&M, while his 3,136 receiving yards rank second. His 23 touchdown receptions ranked third at the time of his graduation up through the end of the 2010 season.
Schaller was a member of both the football and lacrosse teams at F&M. It was on the lacrosse field that he truly made his mark. The two-time team captain was an All-American choice in 1982, and was picked to play in the North/South All-Star game at a time when the teams were not divided by division. Schaller was a three-time All-Middle Atlantic Conference First Team selection, including the 1980 season when the Diplomats captured the league title.
Schleif was a standout wide receiver that rolled up numbers in a running-dominated era that remain impressive today. In 1972, Schleif was an All-Middle Atlantic Conference selection that helped the Diplomats to a 9-0 record and the Lambert Trophy. In only three seasons, Schleif piled up 1,635 receiving yards. A school record at the time, it remains seventh on the career chart nearly 40 years after his graduation. His 114 career receptions were also a record when he graduated and remain sixth on the career charts. Ten of those catches ended in his opponents' end zone, which was tied for third on the career list at the end of his career.
Slaybaugh was a member of the soccer, softball and basketball teams at F&M. A three-time All-Middle Atlantic Conference team selection in softball, Slaybaugh led the Diplomats to the MAC Southwest Championship as a sophomore and junior. Her .481 batting average as a sophomore ranked ninth in the nation, while her 30 RBIs ranked tenth. She was a lifetime .355 hitter with 32 extra base hits, including a school record, 17 triples and six home runs. She sported a .430 on base percentage, .556 slugging percentage, drew 41 walks, stole 26 bases, scored 62 times and drove in 93 runs. The Diplomats went 69-34 during Slaybaugh's career.
As a freshman, she started in the field for the 1988 Middle Atlantic Conference championship soccer team. The squad won the MAC West Championship in each of the next two years. The latter of the MAC West championships came after Slaybaugh converted from field player to keeper. She was named the All-MAC Second Team's goalie and earned team MVP honors. Despite spending only two years between the pipes, Slaybaugh stopped 274 shots, leaving her fifth in career saves. Her .843 save percentage ranks second at F&M, while her 1.43 goals against average ranks seventh.
The Hall of Fame Class of 2010 will bring the Hall membership to 200 individual inductees. Eight teams have been inducted as well, bumping the total membership to 208 inductees. The 2010 ceremony will be open to the public and webcast on GoDiplomats.com. Ticket information and the event time will be made available on GoDiplomats.com as the event draws nearer.

Three months after incorporating, Thor CC Inc., Irvine, Calif., dba Thor Credit Corp., has begun accepting retail loan applications from customers at about 200 Thor Industries Inc. dealerships in eight Southeast and East Coast states.
"We are rolling out in a prudent fashion," said Thor Credit President Ed Arienti. "It's better to roll out in a regional manner rather than trying to do it all at once and not getting it right. We are bringing a well-needed service to Thor dealers."
States included in the initial rollout are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
When the national rollout is complete, Thor Credit intends to make retail credit available to "prime" and "super-prime" consumers at some 1,600 Thor and MVP RV Inc. dealers.
Arienti declined to speculate when Thor CC will expand into other states or which states the company will target next.
The company will finance new RVs manufactured by Thor subsidiaries that include Keystone RV Co., Airstream Inc., Damon Motor Coach, Dutchmen Manufacturing Ind., Komfort Corp., Breckenridge, CrossRoads RV, Four Winds International Corp. and Mandalay Luxury Division. In addition, Thor Credit will offer financing for Thor dealers on qualified used products built by other companies.
Arienti will lead a team of former GE Money executives that include Margaret Gandolfo, senior vice president of finance and operations; Nancy Hartmann, senior vice president of sales; Bob Kennedy, senior vice president of credit; and Mike Rapp, senior vice president of marketing. Bruce Richards has been named Thor Credit's East Coast sales manager and will be located in Worcester, Mass.
Thor and GE Money ended a lending partnership in May 2008 following GE's decision that it would no longer make retail RV loans, although GE continues wholesale dealer financing with tighter policies. Following the dissolution of the partnership, Thor announced in November that it would create its own stand-alone financing unit for dealers that sold its products.
"We've had a lot of good fortune," Arienti said. "Start a business in this environment is challenging — particularly in the capital marks sector."
Thor Credit is being assisted in the rollout by Carillon Capital Partners, which will manage Thor's capital market efforts by coordinating the purchase of loans that Thor makes to other lending institutions. "The on-going strategy is for us to introduce banks to Thor and help educate them on the RV loan product," said Rob Snow, Carillon Capital managing partner.
"Most of the banks that we are talking to will put them on their balance sheet and hold them there," said Snow, who also has been a financial adviser to the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) and companies in the marine sector.
"Overall, the economy is still incredibly weak," Snow said. "Ultimately, the RV industry won't come back in full until there is some underlying strength in the financial industry."
Although Snow predicted that the recent expansion of Small Business Administration (SBA) loans for dealer floorplan financing will help the RV industry, it won't happen quickly. "The traditional SBA lenders are not immediately set up to do floorplan financing and the traditional floorplan financiers are not SBA lenders," Snow said. "The big lenders are trying to figure out how to integrate SBA loans into the mix. It will take awhile, but in the long run it will be positive. It will take three to four months before there is any noticeable impact from it."

Welcome to Eaarth
Bill McKibben was in Addis Ababa recently. And the Maldives before that. Soon, he said, he'll be heading to China. When I watched him emerge from the stage door at Town Hall in Seattle last week, it seemed entirely plausible that the writer had dispatched a squad of clones to public speaking events and book tours around the globe: Author of 12 books, a prolific contributor to magazines (including this one), and leader of 350.org, the organization responsible for what CNN called "the most widespread day of political action in the planet's history," McKibben must be eating his Wheaties. Or something.
He was in Seattle to promote his latest book, Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet, an exploration of the fundamentally new planet we've built for ourselves by pumping fossilized carbon into the atmosphere. This new world, McKibben argues, is decidedly less sweet than the one we knew: Hot, with pounding rains, rising seas, and advancing deserts, it's so different that it needs a new name. Eaarth isn't the planet we grew up on, but it's the planet we'll have to learn to live on. Unfortunately for us, the statistics he rattled off about this new place were uninviting to say the least: The sea is 30 percent more acidic than it would have been without our emissions; the number of hurricanes that tore through the tropical Atlantic rose by 75 percent between 1995 and 2008; 1,700 lightening fires—a new record— torched millions of California acres in June 2008.
You'd expect Seattle, an urban poster child for progressive consciousness, to take environmental warnings in stride. But McKibben's message last Tuesday night was a tough one for any audience, and silence quickly settled over the room as he spoke: The time for warnings, he stressed, is over. Already nearing 1 degree Celsius (and rising) above the range of temperature variation that defined all of human history, there appears to be no going back. Welcome to Eaarth.
In many ways, Eaarth represents a milestone in McKibben's remarkable career. His 1989 book, The End of Nature was the first on global warming for a general audience. In it, he argues that nature just isn't, well, natural any longer. Not with us around anyway. Beginning with the hot coal smoke of the Industrial Revolution, humans have influenced the character and function of every ecosystem on the planet. Enormous systems that once operated independently of us—such as the global carbon cycle—are now, in one way or another, driven by us. For environmentalists (and, I'd argue, for humans everywhere), this is a revelation of the drop-everything-and-think kind.
The State of the Earth, 2010
Rebecca Solnit on Eaarth, climate change, and the possibilities for a delicious future.
In the years since The End of Nature, McKibben has been unraveling the more dangerous behaviors we've taken up in the last 200 years—behaviors that now jeopardize a once-sweet planet. Much of his writing calls for small and local solutions to combat global threats like climate change that have resulted from those behaviors. That's pretty much the opposite of how we're running things now: big, centralized, and growing. But in a time when "too big to fail" actually fails, building locally-based means of powering, feeding, and spending might turn out to be both the best idea we've got and the most satisfying.
As hair-raising as McKibben's description of Eaarth is, there was something refreshing about his message last week. Even as "green" has become both a cultural force and a market mover, it's still a movement that's largely attached to stuff. Solar arrays, windmills, and scuffles over nuclear power stations are the norm when talking about sustainability; almost no one, it seems, is talking about the problem with bigness. But in Eaarth, McKibben gets right to it:
"Most of all, of course, our time has been the time of bigness—the amazing ever-steepening upward curve, where things grew and grew and grew some more. Economies and road networks and houses, inflating until there were entire subdivisions filled with starter castles for entry-level monarchs. Stomachs and breasts and lips, cars and debts, portions and bonuses. Can we imagine smaller? That is the test of our time."
I glanced around at the nodding audience, crammed wall-to-exit. McKibben seemed to hit a chord with his message: Our biggest problem is an addiction to growth, and our brightest hope is in connecting with the small stuff that has sustained us for so long, like our neighborhoods, farms, and watersheds. It was a surreal feeling, seeing so much agreement with a statement that's about as heretical as you can get in America. But there they were—bobbing vigorously away while McKibben skewered growth. Thoughts flooded in: Are most people this skeptical of growth? Is there a movement building here? Can this outpouring be turned into political will? When will we see the first mainstream politician run on a "postgrowth" platform?
A question I'd carried with me that night was answered as he spoke: What does another book about climate change actually do to avert climate change? Again, McKibben satisfied. Part of the difficulty we've had with getting beyond growth, he said, is that "we lack the vocabulary and metaphors we need for life on a different scale." Ushering in a future that works, then, is partly a literary task. We'll need a new language for naming it into existence—full of fresh words, analogies, images and stories (with the fate of the planet on the table, "hybrid cars" seems like a small answer). So, in that spirit, McKibben has offered the first word for describing that new future: Eaarth. We're on it. Now what?
:: To beat climate change, we'll need a political swell larger than the civil rights movement—as passionate and as willing to sacrifice

Washington state on track for major pertussis epidemic
Public health officials in Washington state have confirmed more than 1,100 cases of whooping cough so far this year in what is on track to become the worst epidemic of the disease to hit the state in seven decades.
No deaths have been reported from this year's outbreak but 20 infants have been hospitalized with the bacterial infection, which poses a special risk to young children, said Tim Church, a spokesman for the state Health Department.
Governor Christine Gregoire made state emergency funds available on Thursday to help increase vaccinations against the disease and announced federal approval to redirect some funds to buy 27,000 more doses of vaccine for uninsured adults.
Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, causes severe, uncontrollable coughing. Worldwide, it infects between 30 million and 50 million people a year and kills about 300,000 - mostly children in the developing world.
In the United States, most children are immunized against whooping cough with a vaccine that is given as a series of shots starting at the age of two months.
Outbreaks in the United States tend to run in cycles, but Church said the latest wave of cases in Washington state was running well above typical peak years in the past, when 500 to 600 cases might be reported for an entire year.
"We're seeing 100 to 125 new cases every week," he said, adding that at the current pace, Washington could end 2012 with about 3,000 cases, which would be the highest number the state has seen since the 1940s. "Our hope is that we can stem this tide and not let that happen."
The current epidemic appears to have begun last year.
The 1,132 confirmed cases reported year to date through April 28 already surpasses the 961 recorded for all of 2011, though that figure included two infant deaths, Church said.
But it pales in comparison to a 2010 epidemic that hit California, which counted more than 9,000 cases, including 10 infant deaths.
Proportionately, however, 3,000 cases would be a much greater tally for Washington, with a population of about 6.7 million people compared to more than 37 million in California.
Church said Washington state's relatively high rate of vaccine exemptions allowed for school-aged children, which stands at 6 percent, "might be part of the puzzle," but other factors remain unknown.
For now, Washington is the hardest hit state in the country, though pertussis outbreaks also have been reported in Oregon, Idaho and a few New England states, Church said.

A made a simple lentil vegetable soup for dinner tonight, rustic I suppose. I didn't fuss around, just put a few ingredients in a large pot and simmered it for about hour and half. It was super yummy and easy to make.
I like to serve this type of soup with a loaf of good bread and a salad. Who says dinner has to be hard? I literally threw this together in about 15 minutes, and left it to cook on the stove (on low), left the house even for 40 minutes!
I also got some goodies in the mail this afternoon. Edward and Sons sent me a box of products to try, which is always fun. I love getting things via snail mail :)
The brown rice snaps didn't last long...they were tasty. The miso cup soup was really good, I was out all day running errands and when I got home I decided to try it and I really was quite impressed with the taste. Most instant soups have a weird plastic taste, but this one was TASTY! There is 3 servings in a pack and each package contains two small envelopes one for miso paste, the other has dehydrated tofu, seaweed and green onions. I really love miso soup, and Edward and Sons made it easy to enjoy.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A year after the Mississippi River swelled to near-historic proportions and flooded farms and homes from Illinois to Louisiana, the level along the waterway's southern half is so low that cargo barges have run aground and their operators have been forced to lighten their loads.
Wide, sandy strips of shoreline usually invisible even in the low season are now exposed, shrinking the river's width and affecting the way tow captains navigate.
Such is life along the nation's main inland waterway, where millions of tons of goods are shipped every year, some of which end up as exports departing from south Louisiana ports. Those who make their living along the Mississippi learn to adapt to the river's fickle nature.
"It's remarkable, but it's completely normal," said Jim Pogue, spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers in Memphis. "You get a low river, you get a high river, but it's completely normal."
There isn't much man can do to deal with the exceptionally low river, which at Memphis, is just about 6 feet above the record low.
"Pray for rain," said Tommy Hart, director of the port in Greenville, Miss. "I'm not a big fan of rain, but this time I am."
Aside from that, the best coping mechanism is careful navigation. With the river this low, the channels are shallower and narrower, presenting problems for barges loaded with coal, grain, iron, steel, sand, gravel and more. They must reduce their loads to avoid bottoming out and take extra care not to collide when passing another string of barges in the thinner channel.
Also, low water at docks and terminals makes it more difficult to load or unload material, as ships have trouble getting close enough to docks. Companies must get permits from the Army Corps to dredge near their docks to find deeper places to load and unload.
The National Weather Service said the Mississippi River gauge in Memphis was at minus-4.8 feet on Friday, but there's no need to panic. The "minus" reading does not mean the river is dried up -- it's just a measurement based on how the river gauge is designed. Essentially, the reading means the river level is far below normal.
That low level stands in contrast to the flood of 2011, which saw the Mississippi fall about a foot short of the record crest of 48.7 feet set in 1937. The National Weather Service has set the official crest of last year's flood at 48.03 feet on the Memphis gauge.
"It's basically just the opposite of last year," Pogue said.
One reason for the difference is a lack of rainfall in the Ohio River valley and the north Mississippi River basin, said Ryan Husted, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Memphis. Sections of Tennessee and regions to the north are experiencing drought conditions. Most areas in the Mid-South are 10 inches or more below normal for rainfall for the year, the weather service said.
Lower-than-normal snowfall levels over the northern plains this winter are also an issue, Husted said. Less snow means less water from melted snow making its way into the Mississippi and the rivers that feed it.
The record low on the Memphis gauge is minus-10.7, set during a severe drought in 1988. That year, a stretch of river about 100 miles south of Memphis was temporarily closed, Pogue said.
Near Greenville, Miss., more than 700 barges were backed up on the river. Crews dredged day and night to make the river deep enough for traffic to resume.
A paper published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society in September 1989 estimated that the drought caused the U.S. barge industry to suffer a 20 percent income loss, with total losses at about $1 billion that year.
The Army Corps predicts that the river will drop to within about 2 feet of the record, but it is not expected to reach it, Pogue said. So far, no stretch of the river has been closed, but at least one harbor, in Hickman, Ky., has been shut down.
Since 1988, the Corps has worked to improve the navigation system in the river, making sure channels are sufficiently deep. That means the river wouldn't necessarily close, even if the record low is reached this year, Pogue said.
Although Coast Guard officials say closings are not imminent, there have been problems. Towed barge groundings are up compared with years when the river's water level was normal, said agency spokesman Ryan Gomez said.
Meanwhile, barge operators have to carry less cargo to avoid running aground, which means they make less money each trip.
Nashville-based Ingram Barge Company, which operates on the Mississippi and other rivers, has seen business suffer, said Ingram spokesman Keel Hunt.
"Captains and crews know how to navigate through waters high or low," Hunt said. "In a time like this, however, it's a particular challenge because in some cases it's just very difficult to move a barge full of products."
In Arkansas, the water is so low where the White River meets the Mississippi that barges must pass through a series of river locks. And in New Orleans, the Mississippi is so low that the wooden pilings of the wharfs near the French Quarter have been exposed.
But shippers and river pilots reported no navigation problems. Michael Lorino, the head of a pilots group that takes ships across the pass at the mouth of the Mississippi, said recent dredging by the Army Corps had made it a smooth ride for ocean-going vessels.
Anthony Hauer, director of the port at Natchez, Miss., said his port has a deep water channel, and it's not likely barges would have to lighten their loads there.
At Greenville, port director Hart checks the river's level every day. This is harvest season, a busy time for a port that ships goods from the heart of Mississippi's farmlands. According to the Mississippi Department of Intermodal Planning website, the port at Greenville ships potash, rice, corn, wheat, grain feed ingredients, fertilizer and scrap.
A major concern at Greenville and other ports is that the entrance to the river could get too shallow. If that happens, barges could be forced to carry lighter loads to make it to the channel, and the port is hoping to dredge its opening to the river to keep traffic flowing.
"We seem to be living in a day and age of extremes. We had the flood last year and now we have low water," Hart said.
Mohr reported from Jackson, Miss. Associated Press writer Cain Burdeau contributed to this report from New Orleans.

Daniel Berlant with Cal Fire says the state has sent six engines and two air tankers to help with the fire fight.
"This fire has been fanned by very strong north winds," he says. "These winds we've been seeing for the last day or so in the Sacramento Valley as well as the Bay Area. These winds are expected to continue through this weekend elevating our fire danger."
Berlant says the fire is 50 percent contained.
The fire started a little after one o'clock Friday afternoon south of Highway 12.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

NOOK File Formats: EPUB and PDF
The NOOK Color and the NOOK Simple Touch work with files created using one of two eBook formats: EPUB or PDF. Formatted books refer to manuscripts that have been set in type with an attractive and logical design, organized into chapters, and often supplemented with icons, illustrations, and images.
Here is just enough about eBook formatting:
EPUB pages are reflowed, which means the lines of text will break differently as you change the size of the text.
Reflowable PDFs act the same as EPUB files.
Non-reflowable PDFs don't shift pages.
EPUB files for NOOK eReaders
The EPUB format is free and open, meaning that anyone can produce and distribute a file using this standard. Free and open does not mean that someone can release to the world a document based on copyrighted material that belongs to someone else. It also does not mean that someone can make free copies of all files and openly distribute them.
An EPUB file is reflowable, meaning that the text can be fine-tuned to the demands of nearly any electronic reader or to the personal preferences of any human reader: typefaces can be changed, their size adjusted, and other attributes modified. Without getting too deep into the digital weeds here, the EPUB format is a variation of the coding used to produce text displayed on web pages.
EPUBs work well with text that can easily be reflowed; not so well with graphic content like comic books and magazines.
There are two basic types of EPUB in use: protected and unprotected.
Unprotected EPUBs are commonly used for distribution of books that are no longer under copyright. (That's why you'll see hundreds of free versions of books by Jane Austen, Mark Twain, Jules Verne, Charles Dickens, and other literary greats.) You can use the same format to display personal documents on the screen of an eReader if you use a specialized utility to convert a word processing or spreadsheet file to the EPUB format.
Protected EPUBs include Digital Rights Management, encoding intended to limit the use of the file to a single purchaser, an individual machine, or to set a time limit. The process of borrowing a book from a library shares some of the same restrictions.
Most of the electronic books you purchase from Barnes & Noble or other commercial websites are going to be protected EPUBs. After all, they don't want someone out there—not you, of course—buying a single copy of a book and then sending it by email to a few million of their closest friends.
EPUBs are currently used by the NOOK Color, the NOOK Simple Touch, the Sony Reader, the Kobo eReader, the Apple iPad, and a number of other devices. Noticeably missing from that list: the Amazon Kindle, which uses a proprietary format for its protected files.
PDF files for NOOK eReaders
The Portable Document Format was created by Adobe Systems all the way back in 1993 as a means to allow users to exchange documents without worrying about whether the hardware and software at each end matched. It was let loose on an unsuspecting and ultimately grateful world in 1998 as an open and free standard.
PDF files can contain embeded fonts and images, and pages can be enlarged. It's a great way to send a complex document for display on standard sizes of personal computers. The reader on one device will see a "page" that is identical or highly similar to the one seen on another device.
At first, PDF files were not particularly well suited to the smaller and non-standard screens of devices like smartphones and digital readers because the pages were not set up to reflow text if character size was changed. But enhancements by Adobe now permit files to be reflowable (essential for eReaders with changeable typefaces, type sizes, line spacing, and margin adjustments).
Just as with EPUBs, there are both protected and unprotected versions of PDF files. An unprotected version is intended to be redistributed more or less without restriction. If you use a word processor or other productivity program on your laptop or desktop computer, you should be able to save files as unprotected PDFs. You will also find on the Internet some book files available in that open format.
A protected version uses Digital Rights Management to enforce some level of control over copying, transferring, printing, and other actions.

Without Jerry Buss, will Lakers remain in good hands?
The death of Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss takes the questions beyond whether the franchise that won 10 NBA titles under him can salvage this season. The uncertainty now is whether the Lakers can sustain their lofty status in coming years.
Buss died Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He had been undergoing cancer treatment.
With this season's Lakers struggling at 25-29 and 10th in the Western Conference entering the second half ot the season, team spokesman John Black said Buss had prepared the franchise for the transition ahead. His son Jim, the Lakers' executive vice president of player personnel, has been running the basketball operations since 2011. His daughter, Jeanie, has overseen the business side.
"The future of the organization will remain unchanged. Dr. Buss set it up years in advance — he planned for the team to remain with the family," Black said. "As far as the operation and running of the team, that will be unchanged."
FAMILY BUSINESS:Things might get sticky
INFLUENCE:Buss built Lakers into L.A.'s team
But it remains to be seen who will be the dominant voice in running the Lakers' show, a job Buss did masterfully on the marketing and basketball side. Hall of Famer Magic Johnson clearly is aligned with Jeanie Buss.
"Now (Buss) leaves and incredible organization to his kids, and Jeanie Buss is so smart and intelligent," Johnson said Monday in an interview with ESPN. "He sent her to (University of Southern California) business school, and he knew that he wanted her to be a major factor and be a part of the Laker organization and probably run it one day."
TRIBUTE:Buss made Lakers into great show
MAGIC:Buss was 'second father' to legend
This season, the Lakers fired Mike Brown as coach as result of a 1-4 start. He was replaced by Mike D'Antoni after the Lakers initially contacted former coach Phil Jackson about a possible return. Jackson and Jeanie Buss were engaged over the Christmas holiday.
In November, Johnson voiced his displeasure with the decision-making by Jim Buss. "I love Dr. (Jerry) Buss. I don't believe in Jim Buss," Johnson said.

Wilted Spinach Salad with Edamame, Red Onion, and Black Sesame Seeds
Wilted Spinach Salad with Edamame, Red Onion, and Black Sesame Seeds
5-6 oz fresh spinach leaves, washed (about 4-5 cups, packed)
1 red onion or sweet white onion, sliced in half-moon slices
2 T peanut oil (or use any neutral-flavored oil)
2 T white balsamic vinegar (or use rice vinegar – not seasoned)
1 T Agave nectar or honey (use Agave nectar for South Beach Diet.)
2 tsp. Asian sesame oil (also called sesame seed oil)
1/2 tsp. salt, or less (I used Vege-Sal)
1/2 cup shelled edamame
2 tsp. black sesame seeds (or use white sesame seeds)
Wash spinach if needed, spin dry or dry with paper towels. Place spinach in large plastic bowl and have serving plates ready. Cut ends off onion, and peel. Cut onion in half top-to-bottom, then cut each piece into half-moon slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Whisk together vinegar, Agave nectar or honey, sesame oil and salt. (This mixture will be combined with the oil that's used to fry the onions. You can add a bit more oil if it seems too strong when you taste the heated dressing.)
Heat 2 T of oil in frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until onions are well-browned on both sides. (The time will depend on the temperature and your pan, but it took about 8 minutes for my onions to be as browned as I wanted.)
When onions are nearly done, add edamame and heat through, about 1 minute. Add dressing mixture and heat about 30 seconds. (Taste for seasoning and add a bit more oil if the dressing tastes too strong to you.)
Pour hot dressing-onion-edamame mixture over spinach and toss to coat. Arrange spinach mixture on salad plates. Toast sesame seeds about 30 seconds over high heat in a dry frying pan. (Jack Bishop says the black sesame seeds should be toasted for a much shorter time than white ones. Toasting the sesame seeds isn't essential, but it does make them more flavorful.) Use a spoon to sprinkle sesame seeds over each salad and serve immediately.
