Titian Nudes Vie With Real Bare Women, Voyeurs in London
On reading the press release for this exhibition, the words "mission impossible" came to mind.
The new show, "Metamorphosis: Titian 2012," at the National Gallery in London sets three contemporary artists a challenge. At the entrance hangs a trio of the greatest pictures Titian painted: "Diana and Actaeon" "Diana and Callisto" and "The Death of Actaeon" -- three masterpieces of western art.
In adjacent rooms, three artists have been invited to "respond" to the Titians. Not surprisingly, and entirely excusably, two of them fail. One, Mark Wallinger, has come up with perhaps the only artistic device that would not be upstaged by Titian's richly sensual depictions of naked female flesh. He is exhibiting real nude women.
Wallinger's work, "Diana" (2012) consists of a bathroom, set up in the center of a gallery. Within this space, eight women, each of whom -- by a neat conceptual twist -- is named Diana, in turn take a bath. It's possible to see inside, but only with difficulty.
There are four vantage points: a keyhole, a couple of small perforations at eye level, a window obscured by a venetian blind within and another frosted window, one small corner of which is broken. Through these, by dint of crouching and peering through the keyhole or squinting sideways through the gap in the window it's possible to catch a glimpse of what's happening on the other side of the walls. You might see, for example, a pair of feet immersed in bathwater, or a shoulder being toweled.
Voyeur Punished
Wallinger's idea is witty. "Diana and Actaeon," for my money the finest of the three Titians, is all about the punishment of a voyeur. Actaeon, a hunter, accidently stumbled on Diana and her nymphs while they were bathing. Infuriated, the goddess transformed him into a stag; he was then torn to pieces by his own hounds.
Through this installation, Wallinger manages to transform every spectator into a Peeping Tom. It's impossible to see the work without becoming one. That makes a sharp point. A good deal of art is concerned with staring at sculpture or pictures of naked people. If you do that in real life, you are a voyeur (or perhaps an artist).
No Fizz
For the rest, there's not much to say. Poor Chris Ofili, as a painter, is in an invidious position side by side with Titian. The pictures on show suggest he has lost his way (temporarily, I hope, since I like his work). They are flat: dull, without Ofili's earlier fizz and energy.
Conrad Shawcross -- another artist whose work I often admire -- has come up with a robotic mechanism which periodically examines a pair of antlers made from various woods. This seems to represent Diana metamorphosed strangely, yet not very excitingly, into a machine tool.
The rest of the exhibition is made up of costumes, sets -- by the three artists -- and a film of new ballets inspired by Titian. These will be performed by the Royal Ballet, which is collaborating with the National Gallery on the Metamorphosis project (from July 14 to 20).
Some people may say that all this is a grave indignity to inflict on those venerable Titian masterpieces. They look good, though, hung together for the first time since the 18th century.
And the Wallinger, while not a great work, is a clever joke -- and one likely to attract a huge amount of attention from childish types such as school groups and journalists.
"Metamorphosis: Titian 2012" opens tomorrow and runs through Sept. 23 at the National Gallery, London. The exhibition is sponsored by Credit Suisse Group AG. (CSGN) Information: http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk.

Inauguration Preps Underway In Washington
The nation's capitol is being transformed for Monday's inauguration of President Obama.
FOX News Radio's Mike Majchrowitz reports from the White House:
Audio clip:
On Pennsylvania Avenue bleachers are going up for Monday's inaugural parade, as well as scores of porta-potties, jumbo TV screens, camera platforms and tall security fencing.
A smaller crowd is expected than 2009, which some estimates put at 1.8 million. But White House Press Secretary Jay Carney says it will still be sizable.
(Carney) "I would suggest to you that there will be a very good crowd on Monday."
Unlike 2009 when there where ten inaugural balls, this time there will be only two: one for guests of the Obamas, the other to honor members of the military.
At the White House, Mike Majchrowitz, FOX News Radio.
And what can you expect at the inauguration? Well President Obama has revealed his full inauguration playlist.
FOX News Radio's Sabrina Sabbagh reports:
Audio clip:
Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys have already been announced to perform at President Obama's inauguration Monday, and now a full list of performers and the songs they'll sing is out.
(Katy Perry)
Katy Perry's will sing "Firework," John Legend will belt out "Ordinary People" and Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory" will be featured, but the pop star wont be singing it, the cast of Glee is doing the honors. The entire playlist includes 16 songs.

Wright State at Cincinnati Postgame Quotes
Dec. 22, 2012
Recap | Final Stats | Notes | AP Gallery
Wright State at Cincinnati
"Their team defense is off the charts like I told you in pre-game preparation. To be up 16 with 6 minutes to go and outscoring them by 22, our execution was off the charts to begin the second half.
"We played with a lot more strength. We've been talking a lot about offensive toughness, and we have to continue to get better at it and getting high percentage shots. We are settling for tough shots and sometimes it is fool's gold especially (Sean Kilpatrick) and (Cashmere Wright) because they are capable of making tough shots, but it's fool's gold at the end of the day. You aren't going to beat quality teams unless you get quality shots out of your offense. At times this year, we have made some tough shots, but can't you can't hang your hat on that and be a contender in the BIG EAST Conference."
"That is one thing that (JaQuon Parker) can do is get the ball in the basket. It's as good as I have seen at going at the basket as I have seen around here in a long time. It's like he becomes 6-6 or 6-7 when it's time to finish. That's the way he plays around the rim. He did a great job. He really responded. We had to have somebody play with some strength and get the ball up in the basket around the rim. We weren't being fouled, they were playing solid, physical defense. We were just getting in the habit of wanting things to be easy."

I might actually not be quite as predictable as your post seems to imply..well, maybe just a teeny bit .
In the endless search for perfection, I think both sets of costumes ( R/H and Z/G) are a tad underdone , but it's so good to see the change from too much detail or too theatrical.. I don't want to say a discouraging word.
There's overdone and underdone ,with varying degrees of perfection somewhere in the middle. But if it can only be one of the 2 extremes ,I'll take underdone every time.

EXCLUSIVE: We've seen the subtitled trailer for Hayao Miyazaki's The Wind Rises (Kaze Tachinu) released during the Toronto Film Festival and now here's a first look at the domestic version. A mix of the real-life stories of aircraft designer Jiro Horikoshi and the poet Tatsuo Hori, The Wind Rises tells a poignant tale of war, perseverance and love. The film that the anime master said will be his last topped the Japanese box office for nine consecutive weeks after opening there in July. It wrapped up a week-long Oscar-qualifying run in New York and Los Angeles on November 14 and will open in limited release in the U.S. on February 21, expanding wide a week later under Disney's Touchstone Pictures banner.
Hot Trailer: Hayao Miyazaki's 'The Wind Rises'
7 Comments
The trailer seems a bit precious… but I still can't wait see this film with my 13-year-old daughter. We are both big Miyazaki fans.
Farewell to the master. A true artistic genius. I grew up on his films, before I even knew to check who wrote & directed films.
Miyazaki is a genius. While I wish him all the best in retirement, I am so sad that this will be his last film. Long live Totoro!
Not only the best animated film I've seen this year – but, maybe the best movie I've seen, period.
I really hope Disney does a dual inventory on The Wind Rises, and allows theatres to decide for themselves when to play the dubbed and subtitled versions, not unlike they did with Spirited Away in the days before digital projection.
Amen. This is NOT a film for small children, and adults should not be forced to sit through a dubbed version if they don't want to.
Wonderful animation. Sad to hear this is Miyazaki's last film. There is so much artistry in traditionally animated films.

Taking a design cue from the Arts & Crafts movement, this mini chandelier has an iron oxide finish and scavo glass.More Details >
So little never looked so good as this delightful mini chandelier from Minka. Arts & Crafts styling motif with iron oxide finish and Venetian iridescent scavo glass.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
It is too small for our breakfast area and the cast iron bottom makes for less light. Only good for up lights. Love the way it illuminates the ceiling.
Installed this as our entryway hall light. It was a little difficult to hang, but only because we were using an existing set-up.

Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) has released an open source version of the webOS in beta mode. The beta release consists of 54 webOS components and half a million lines of code under the Apache 2.0 license. HP has released two build environments; a desktop build and an OpenEmbedded build. The desktop build provides a development environment for enhancing the webOS user experience with new features and developers can use all their desktop tools on powerful development machines, while the OpenEmbedded build provides a development environment for developers to port webOS to new devices. Releasing the webOS as an open source software is likely to draw third party developers to the platform and help develop a healthy app environment for HP. [1]

- HPQ Earnings Preview: Revenues To Report Marginal Growth In Constant Currency
- Reviewing Hewlett Packard's Performance In 2016
- HPQ Earnings: Growth In PC Sales Offsets The Decline In Printer Revenues
Two Objectives
The desktop development platform is the primary environment for improving the webOS experience. Powered by Ubuntu Linux, it supports many applications, including core webOS applications such as Calendar and Contacts, as well as some third-party apps. The mobile framework is for users who want to deploy webOS on new devices. It includes an ARM emulator that can run core webOS services. HP is also working on a future release that includes the full webOS experience. This is, however, unlikely to be a bid to revive the HP Touchpad tablet range.
Windows 8 Tablets
HP announced that it will resume production of tablets running Microsoft Windows 8 OS aimed for institutional use. It has decided to concentrate on tablets running Intel's x86 processor powered by Windows 8 Pro and is steering clear of the ARM processor based Windows 8 RT tablets. As HP is the world's largest PC hardware manufacturer and has a huge institutional client base, the more powerful x86 format is likely to be popular as productivity tools with institutions and HP can leverage this network. The ARM tablet space is dominated by Apple with the iPad and HP is sticking to its strength by making productivity focused tablets. [2]
We currently have a $29.76 Trefis price estimate for HP, which is much higher than the current market price.

Cancer, Procrastination, and Hope's Bucket List | KCET
Cancer, Procrastination, and Hope's Bucket List
"I want to go away and see things," she told me.
Many people say this sort of thing. Not so many have Stage 3 cancer. She had a bucket list, she said. Ambling around the country, going nowhere in particular, was on it.
Story continues below
As a travel writer, and someone with a talent for getting lost, I have considerable experience with aimless ambling. Wittingly and unwittingly, I have seen my share of back alleys and back roads. Partly because she was so obviously sincere in her desire to travel, partly because talking with people with cancer produces in me a sort of hyper enthusiasm, as if a loopy smile and a lot of hand waving can wipe the disease away, I prattled on and on about the joys of travel. The chance to find hidden corners. The chance to meet people. The chance to see the sunrise in an unfamiliar place. The chance for so many chances. Here I may have paused.
She listened quietly through my babble. When I finished she said, "That's exactly what I want to do." The woman's name is Hope.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here in Ventura County there are events everywhere. An open house at the new Rolling Oaks Radiology Women's Imaging Center in Thousand Oaks. A "Relay for Life" event on the track at Camarillo High School, honoring cancer survivors and raising money to fight the disease. A cancer symposium, "Surviving and Thriving," at the Ventura Beach Marriott. Another symposium, "How to Cheat, Treat and Beat Breast Cancer," at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley. On the first day of October our local paper the Ventura County Star printed the day's edition in pink.
If I was a newspaper journalist I would have written this column at the beginning of the month. But I'm not. I'm writing this in the middle of the month, hoping it carries into November and maybe on. Cancer will carry on. Procrastination, too.
I don't know if Hope has breast cancer. She didn't say. She might have breast cancer, she might not. Sadly, there are many cancer options.
I may have been frenetically enthusiastic in my delivery, but I told my new friend Hope the truth. The greatest joy of travel is the people you meet. Travel has seen me to breathtaking places and moments -- lightning forking over the snowy Andes, mantas swooping through blue Hawaiian waters, evening shadows purpling the Grand Canyon's deeps -- but even these moments pale in comparison with the people I've met. They have surprised me. They have bewitched me. They have welcomed me into their towns, and sometimes their homes. Sometimes they have cheated me, or stolen from me or just been rude and cold. People come in many packages. But most of the people have been good, and many of them have given me a gift, a little piece of them I will carry with me forever. Lessons in living.
Once, kayaking off Ocracoke Island, North Carolina, I met a man named David. It was Thanksgiving and brutally cold, a hard, damp wind producing an uncountable army of whitecaps on Pamlico Sound. When I met David, he was bobbing at the mouth of Ocracoke's tiny harbor. I saw him before he saw me. His head was down, consulting the navigational chart spread across the deck of his kayak. He had a compass, too.
It is bad form to paddle silently past the only other kayaker for miles.
"Beautiful out here, isn't it?" I said.
It was, in a frozen, gray, victory-at-sea fashion.
David's head came up slowly, as if reluctant to leave the chart. He appeared to be in his fifties, though it was hard to tell, as only a small portion of his face emerged from the bubble-wrap of protective gear. I was wearing nothing but a wetsuit, and perhaps a bluish complexion.
David looked at me like the idiot I was.
"It's a little cold," he said.
We bobbed in the water, the wind beating between us, and exchanged pleasantries. David had come to Ocracoke for the long Thanksgiving weekend.
He didn't smile as we talked, but his tone was amiable. I had drifted close enough to see that he had a small plastic orb affixed to the shoulder of his jacket. Technologically speaking, it resembled one of those Christmas snow globes, only instead of swirling snowflakes, it contained a winking light.
His eyes followed mine. "GPS," he said. "I'm one of those people who like to plan."
David asked where I was from, and when I told him California, he said his wife's family lived in California. "My wife died about a year and a half ago," he said. "Of cancer."
The wind whistled.
"I was just paddling in a sluice back there," David said, more to himself than me. "There were herons and egrets. It probably goes back two miles. I was paddling back there and I'm thinking, 'This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.'"
I paddled to David's sluice, a ribbon of gin clear water little more than paddle-length wide in most places, snaking into the interior of the island. I floated over its mirror surface to the whisper of marsh grass. Out of the wind it was warm. Birds sang, and egrets, snow-white and silent, swooped low, dropping below the grass line to their own secrets.
David was right, it was beautiful, but now, ten years later, it is David I remember, bobbing quietly beneath the marled sky, a meticulous man who couldn't plan for everything.
"You know, she loved to kayak," he said. "She really wanted to come here, but we just kept putting it off."
You don't have to travel far to meet people with cancer or bucket lists. I met Hope ten minutes from home. I'm glad I did.
Before we parted Hope gave me another warm smile, but there was something harder in her eyes.
"I mean it," she said. "I'm really going to do this."
If Hope reads this, I hope she doesn't mind that I wrote about her. But I hope she doesn't read it. I hope she's miles from the internet, sitting on a weathered dock in the Florida Keys, watching baitfish ripple the surface as the sun rises.
By then it probably won't be October. Not that it matters. Any month is as good for cancer as it is for following through on a bucket list.

Correct. Thanks.
Note also that precisely this problem is written up as an FAQ:
How do I list observations in a group that differ on a variable?
Martin Weiss
Should probably read
bysort id var1 : gen different = var1[1] != var1[_N]
Nick Cox
This is not a good method in general. For example, it wouldn't work with string variables. Apart from -duplicates-, there are plenty more direct methods, such as that Maarten laid out. Here's another:
bysort id var1 : gen different : var1[1] != var1[_N]
list id var1 if different
Martin Weiss
Just check whether the standard deviation of the variable in question differs from zero, then:
set obs 1000
gen id=_n
//10 periods
expand 10
bys id: gen time=_n
xtset id time
bys id: gen byte myvar=runiform()<0.3
//but not for some...
replace myvar=cond(runiform()<0.1, 0, 1)
//Check for uniqueness
bys id:egen groupsd=sd(myvar)
//get dummy for uniqueness
gen byte unique=groupsd==0
la def unique 0 "not unique" 1 "unique"
la val unique unique
drop groupsd
l in 1/100, noo sepby(id)
xttab unique
Jia Xiangping
For a datafile like :
id var1
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 1
2 2
2 1
I expect to check whether the value of "var1" within one group of "id"
is unique -- i.e. in group 2, the values are not unique. For a
non-grouped datafile, syntax like -isid- or -duplicates- is able to do
the work. But none of them works when combining with -by-. Is there
any approach to check the unique value within groups?

I am sorry to hear of your boy's passing. Dogster keeps the date of birth on the page, they just no longer keep the age in years under the photo.
You will receive a notice on the date of his passing, and I believe he will also be in a special memorial stroll on that date as well, but the date of the passing is not ever on the page.

JStax (492) Devola/Marietta, Ohio | March 17, 2016
Visited on a Tuesday afternoon. Parking is street for the most part, but there is a 5-ish car parking lot right beside their building. This place is located outside of downtown Asheville, but is close enough that if you really wanted to walk here from town, you could. I lucked out and got a street spot pretty much right across the street. Once inside, I immediately noticed that this is way more than a homebrew supply shop. They carry a good selection of craft beer, mead, cider, and wine. The beer and cider are predominantly on the right side of the store, the wine and mead is on the left. Most of the homebrew supplies are on the back wall or in the back left corner. It looked like they also had a bar set up for small tastings, though it wasnt in action on my visit. The beer selection was actually pretty good. Not a selection, but what they had was very high quality. The person running the counter was knowledgeable about the beer they carried and asked us to follow up with him on how a particular beer was. If I lived around, I would do that. The brewing supplies decent with an emphasis on the hardware. Fermenters, and buckets and the nuts and bolts for what you need. They did have ingredients. All around, this store was pretty cool. I would definitely visit again.
magsinva (154) Virginia | December 20, 2012
This is the second or third home brew store Ive visited and found it by far the most helpful and knowledgeable. The gentleman behind the counter even wrote out a quick how-to for me so I didnt screw it up. The prices are reasonable, and they have a pretty good selection of equipment.
DiarmaidBHK (842) Lewisburg, Pennsylvania | December 20, 2012
Now I dont know much about home few stores but I figure in a place like Asheville if you arent good, you wont stay in business long. I was there for 20 minutes and they did more sales than most restaurants would do. The two guys in there were incredibly helpful and went out of there way to give you the benefit of their knowledge and experience which is a big reason to go to a homebrew store. As they admit it aint much to look at but its the first place to go if youre brewing your own.
emacgee (62) Chapel Hill, North Carolina | July 8, 2011
Pretty cool little spot, found a couple of hop varietals I wasnt expecting. Otherwise the layout is pretty simple and straightforward with an "old hardware store" feel to it. Knowledgeable staff and very accommodating.
Perm (8) Tryon, North Carolina | January 8, 2008
Since the most recent review post, ABS has moved to roomier digs on North Merrimon, near Asheville Pizza & Brewing. Much more space (giving it something more of a warehouse look), and dedicated (free) parking, besides. I think this place is great the 5.0 for service is because Ive had something of a grab-bag experience depending on whos working on any given day. It seems that almost every time I go in there, theres somebody different on shift. Some of the staffers are excellent knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, professional. Some, on the other hand, seem to be slightly stoned jokesters. Theyll special-order ingredients for you, and have incredible in-house recipe kits that are very reasonably priced.
tronraner (109) Walland, Tennessee | December 24, 2006
Small place in downtown. Ok in-house selection, but it seems they work mostly through orders. Staff seemed helpful, but was helping someone else the whole time I was there. Only really useful to locals, but good place for them.
Quixote18 (4) Johnson City, Tennessee | December 18, 2005| Updated June 9, 2006
A little hole-in-the-wall LHBS. You can walk in, but I think most of their business is through catalog and phone orders. Decent selection for such a small operation. Staff very helpful. If they cant answer a question, theyll find someone who can and get back to you. I really wish theyd get their website running again.***UPDATE*** The website is back in business, saving me some gas money.

FAQ & handy tips
VideosClick here to view a range of instructional videos.
If you have a question that is not covered in the FAQ's above, we would love to help out! Please email your enquiry to email@example.com.
What temperature should I set for fridge and freezer operation?
Typically your home refrigerator would be running at between 2 and 4 °Celsius which is optimum for good food preservation. With camping refrigerators, some campers choose a temperature a little higher than that to conserve battery power. With WAECO CFX portable refrigerators you are able to select a temperature to suit your needs in 1 °C increments.
How long will my refrigerator keep running for on my battery?
You need to ascertain how much power your refrigerator will consume on average per hour under certain ambient conditions; WAECO provide this information in our catalogues and on our website. You also need to know the size of your battery in amp-hours. Once you know these figures, you can divide the size of the battery by that average consumption figure (multiplied by 24 hours) to give you approximate run time. e.g. If the stated consumption is 1 amp per hour average, multiply that by 24 hours. (equals 24 Amp hours per day). You should understand that you never get the full amount of amp-hours from a battery however. You should use 80% as a good rule of thumb. So if you have a 100 Amp hour deep cycle battery, you can assume 80 amp-hours of usable power. So if a refrigerator consumes on average 1 amp per hour, and is the only appliance running from a 100 amp-hour battery, you should be able to have the refrigerator run for around 80 hours before recharging becomes necessary.
Where is the serial number?
The serial number is beneath the refrigerator on the identification plate.
Can you leave it plugged into 12 volts DC and 240 volts AC at the same time?
Yes you can. If both power sources are available to your WAECO CFX refrigerator, it will automatically select 240 volts AC as the priority so that you are not consuming battery power.
I press the power button but nothing happens.
You need to press and hold the power button for several seconds to turn the refrigerator on or off. This is designed to prevent accidental shutdown or start-up and prevent children fiddling causing shutdown of the unit.
Where can I get spare fuses from?
Most service agents will be able to supply fuses if needed and most WAECO retailers either keep them or can get them in. If you are traveling and need a fuse and a service agent is not nearby, fuses can usually be sourced via a local Auto electrician.
Can I run the refrigerator on its side/end?
It is not recommended to run refrigerators on their side or end. 30 degrees angle is the steepest recommended angle to leave the refrigerator running at.
Can I tip it upside down to clean it?
With the CFX models this is not necessary as there is a drain bung in the base of the refrigerator for ease of cleaning and draining. With earlier CF models, yes you can upend the refrigerator if necessary for cleaning, but this should only be for a short period, you should not leave the unit upside down for extended periods and you should not restart the unit for several hours after turning the unit upside down, so that the oil can resettle in the compressor.
Can I leave it on the back of my ute?
Yes you can is the short answer, but you should consider that in direct sunlight the refrigerator will not perform as well usually, and if you get sufficient rainfall at the right angle it may cause damage to the refrigerator by interfering with the electrics. Damage by external causes is not covered by the Manufacturer's warranty so steps to protect the unit should be taken.
Do you have an extension lead for the cable?
No. It is recommended that you do not extend or modify the 12 volt cable supplied with the refrigerator as this can lead to voltage loss and potential poor performance. Designated in car wiring kits such as the RAPS12RU2 are available inexpensively which negate voltage loss.
What does the flashing light mean?
There are a number of error codes which mean different things. They can mean that there is a lack of ventilation or that the unit has overheated due to being locked up in a vehicle in direct sunshine for an extended period etc. If the power light flashes once every 5 seconds, this means that there is insufficient voltage available to run the refrigerator. This could be due to a battery needing charging or to inadequate vehicle wiring. It may also simply mean that you have selected the wrong level of battery protection for your situation. See FAQ on "What are the battery protection levels and what should I set mine for? for details."
What sort of inverter or generator will it run from?
It is best to use well regulated AC (240 volt) power sources such as pure sine wave inverters and good quality generators that are invertor equipped. Some lower priced generators can have voltage fluctuations that could potentially cause harm to the refrigerator electronics. It makes more sense to use the DC voltage output of a generator to charge a battery and run the refrigerator from the battery. This way you need not have the generator on for extended periods.
I sometimes hear a light knocking noise from the refrigerator when driving over pot holes/speed-bumps/rough roads.
This is nothing to be concerned about. The mechanicals/electricals inside the compressor unit are mounted on springs to absorb centrifugal force on start-up and shut-down. The cylinder head has a heavy duty nylon buffer which prevents the metal cylinder head striking the metal top dome of the compressor. This will just make a dull light noise of the nylon striking the metal and certainly does not cause any damage. It is a solid piece of electro-mechanical equipment and we are so confident in the reliability of the compressor that we supply a five year warranty on the compressor part!
What solar panel do I need to run the fridge?
The panel should be of a suitable size to meet requirements of the refrigerator and any other appliance running from the battery. You should always use the solar panel to charge a battery, not to run the fridge directly from the solar panel as voltage will drop if clouds come overhead for instance. The battery means your refrigerator keeps running even if the voltage output of the solar panel drops severely due to cloud cover. A good rule of thumb to prevent inadequacies with power supply is to have a solar panel large enough to provide enough daily power to run your refrigerator, and have battery storage of an extra 2/3 on hand. So, if your refrigerator (or any other appliance) will consume 30 amp-hours per day, you should have battery storage of 90 amp-hours capacity and a solar panel of around 80 watts or greater capacity to ensure you won't have problems. It is advised to go a little higher in specification than your needs, however.
What temperature do I set for the CFX-65DZ?
Setting the "dual zone" refrigerators temperature should be at freezer temperature as that is the temperature sensed and displayed. Minus 14 ° or 15 °Celsius is usually more than adequate for camping requirements and should equate to refrigerator section temperatures of between 2 ° and 4 °Celsius.
My fridge switches off as soon as my car ignition is switched off, but the dvd/promotional material says it will run with the ignition off?
Check that the 12 volt outlet you are running the refrigerator from still has power available when the vehicle ignition is switched off. It may need to be wired independently of the ignition. If power is available but the refrigerator shuts down, the wiring may not be heavy enough to carry the current required by the refrigerator. The voltage needs to be tested under "electrical load" by either a WAECO service agent or a qualified auto electrician. Another potential cause is that the voltage protection level you have selected may be too high and need to be set at a lower setting.
I can hear the refrigerator making a "breathing" noise when it is in a quiet area such as a tent at night.
This is standard in all capillary refrigerators in varying degrees. It is simply the refrigerant returning to gaseous state from liquid state as it moves through the system. Mostly you will not notice it unless you are very close to the refrigerator. If you put your head close to the freezer in your home refrigerator whilst it is running you will likely hear this noise.
What are the battery protection levels and what should I set mine for?
There are three set-able battery protection levels;
What do the "error" flashes mean?
If the power LED is flashing once every five seconds this means that the refrigerator is sensing low voltage. The battery needs to be recharged or the wiring in the vehicle may be inadequate, or, you need to adjust the battery protection level to a lower setting.
What is the emergency Switch for?
The emergency switch should be left in the "Normal use" position at all times, except if you cannot get the refrigerator to switch on for some reason. Switching to "Emergency override" feeds power straight to the compressor so that you do not lose your foodstuff. The thermostat control is overridden when emergency override is selected and the compressor will run constantly which may cause fresh food to become frozen.
My food is frozen solid even though I have selected a temperature above zero °C.
Check that the emergency switch is set correctly to the "Normal use" position. Having it set to "Emergency Override" will cause foodstuffs to become frozen.
