	    <note><para>
	     Sunrise and sunset times are calculated locally from
	     latitude and longitude information stored on your computer. Some
	     conditions, such as refraction of light through the air, are hard
	     to model. Resultantly, the calculated values for sunrise and
	     sunset may be off by up to 10 minutes.
