best light and best value by a million miles. nothing else comes close By Secret on 6/8/2014Secret would recommend this product to a friendLet me start with saying I have a 125g tank. 6ft long. I bought two kessil tuna blues a350w. PERFECTO! Each light covers exactly three feet with no empty middle. I hanged them one foot above the glass. I actually do not turn the power more than 75% white and 50% blue at the peek of the day. They are that powerful. I can only imagine how dense the light would b if I hadn't gotten wide angle. The color is outstanding. The white has a full spectrum. The blue is beautiful and crisp just like the white. I have seen many lights working n a pet store.These lights look better than halogens and do not get hot. Plus there are no costly bulbs. And let's not forget, these babies are only 300 bucks a piece. There is not a better value on the market. Not under a grand. Trust me on that.
kessil 350w vs 250 MH By Morgan on 5/20/2014Morgan would recommend this product to a friendI purchased 1 Kessil A350W as a "test" light to see how the LED's would do in comparison to my 250 MH. The Kessil takes the cake. It is a brighter, clearer light. The shimmer is almost doubled. Also the Kessil uses 160W less then the MH. More than half the power consumption and a better look then the MH. Much less heat output. Smaller design profile for those tight fitting canopies. Simply put. MH lights are a thing of the past. LED's are the future and Kessil is among the best. Picture and video don't do these lights justice. You have to see for yourself in person, truly amazing light. Its very very close to what I see when diving.
I'm thinking my SPS are just fine in a. 4' long tank 2 x360aw By Woody on 4/28/2014Woody would recommend this product to a friendI rarely run mine above 60% almost always 80% or more on blue spectrum. Great growth. Every SPS I had actually had to go down to the sand for first month. However I run a 16" deep tank the New E series is 25% brighter. So you all run off and buy those and let me take the old klunkers 360aw's off your hands :-)
Good deal By Jerry on 4/26/2014Jerry would recommend this product to a friendA350W is a very good deal than A360 in terms of price/performance.
GREAT LIGHT By Ezy33 on 4/18/2014Ezy33 would recommend this product to a friendI've had 3 350's for a year now with no problems keeping a wide variety of corals. Love the shimmer without the heat.
Awesome By AJChurch on 12/18/2013AJChurch would recommend this product to a friendI have been using this light for about a month now. I love the color blending aspect of the Kessil's. I also have a A150W sky blue and love it too. the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is why does the controlled version cost a whole extra 100 dollars. that is just unneeded. other than that love the light.
Awesome Light! By Greg on 12/4/2013Greg would recommend this product to a friendI have had 2 A 350w's on my tank for a year now and I LOVE them! As time goes by and the more tanks I see (in person), the more I like them too. I have many SPS pieces in my tank and all are doing just fine including a green bali slimer, ORA Purple Stylophora, ORA Ponape Birdnest, Green birdsnest, and much more. Great light with perfect color!
Again, the more tanks I see in person, the happier I am about this light because of the way my corals look in comparison to others.
Many Pros, Many Cons By jwestwood on 11/7/2013jwestwood wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI researched long and hard before purchasing 3 of the 350W's for my 155 gallon 6' reef. Compared to the price of Radions and other high end LED's, these seemed like a better deal. In hindsight, I would have chosen different lights for my set-up but this is not to say they are bad.
1) The best feature is the shimmer effect. No other LED comes close to the Kessil shimmer, even better then HQI's. One caveat that I learned is that if you use a glass or acrylic lid, the drops of water gather on the bottom and greatly reduces the effect. I cut holes in my acrylic lid (6" x 8") under the kessils and the shimmer is back.
2) Great coverage. No other LED provides this uniformity in light due to the ultra-wide lense. No dark shadows, except under corals/rocks.
3) Great color. The blues and whites produce a great color that I would say is close to 15K. It would be nice to have the extra power to add a boost of blue.
1) The biggest drawback is the intensity. Yes they are bright, but I learned that 3 350w's would NOT be enough light to support most SPS corals. LPS & softies are fine, but I would need at least one more 350w to achieve this. Frankly, I would rather have bought 3 Radions for the $1600. They are NOT equal to a 400 watt halide. To me, they are just under a 250 watt. I have no choice but to run them at 100% power which may shorten their live span. I contacted Kessil prior to ordering and they claimed that 3 350's over 6' of water would be sufficient. They were correct in terms of the visual coverage but as stated, the intensity is quite lacking. I am supplementing with 2 Par38 bulbs.
2) No mounting hardware included. I mounted mine to the ceiling (I have a fish room) and it wasn't a big deal but Kessil could have included a mounting kit costing them only pennies. The outdoor hanging plant chains from Wal-mart work well.
3) No mounting possibilities on power supplies: I wanted to mount these on the wall but no holes, hooks, are included. I had to mount/build a panel on the wall, drill holes in it, install zip-ties, and then zip-tie the cords to the wall- what a pain.
These lights will work well for certain tanks but if you want to keep SPS, you will need either the 350's or multiple 350w's placed closely togethor.Don't plan on keeping SPS in a 24" long tank with one of these. Yes they cover the area, but the PAR is quite low. These are nice lights but aside from the shimmer effect, don't provide anything magical to your tank unless purchasing several.
one word AWESOME By Cory on 10/18/2013Cory would recommend this product to a friendI absolutely love these lights. I have two of them on a 90G reef with the gooseneck mounts. I own another LED light that is popular and very controllable, I use it as an accent light now (moonlight). After comparing the two I think the quality of the light produced by the Kessil is visibly better than the other. The Kessil's are powerful and clear, I was shocked at how much light they put out for their size. The shimmer effect that you hear about with Kessil's is not just marketing mumbo jumbo, the shimmer is amazing. The fact that my wife noticed the shimmer was huge. The 350 is not controllable, but I have my on a Reefkeeper to go on and off at set times. My other LED is controllable and to be honest it was cool to play with, but in the end on and off works just fine for my fish and corals and I personally tend to set the color spectrum and leave it. My fiddling with the controllable LED led to good and bad days for my corals.
Fantastic Light By Stazitto on 9/20/2013Stazitto would recommend this product to a friendI have had the Kessil A350W since January of 2013 and could not be happier with the LED. I have one of these hanging over my 57 rimless and can't wait to purchase another. I have successfully grown a large assortment of LPS and SPS corals under this light and have a red bubble tip anemone who is doing great as well. As for looks these lights are very sleek and looks great hanging from the ceiling where I mounted it. The only reason I gave this light a 4 out of 5 was controllability, and although it would be a nice feature, it is not a must. You and your live stock will be very happy with your purchase.

Which model would work best for a 34 gal 30"x16"x16"? With some beginner corals.
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Cory,
For simple corals a single A350W would do the trick with a spread of about 24". The N model only spreads about 18" and two of them would be great if you wanted more light demanding corals.
by New guy Rob. on April 7, 2014, @9:41 AM
Iam using an aqua lift pump on my ATO unit. I have a 20 gallon water barrel and under the barrel stand is my sump. the aqua lift pump is on a hanger that hangs on the side of the barrel. Problem is when the pump comes on it calls for water out of the barrel, through the pump, and past a check valve..and down to my sump. when the pump turns OFF the vacuum siphon still pulls the water from the barrel down in my sump (and i flood out)....is there a anti-siphon valve available to brake the vacuum? or is my pump not working correctly?:
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Rob,
In this case a check valve isn't going to do you any good because the flow of water is still in the same direction of flow. The problem is just gravity and the fact that the water level in your top off container is higher then the water level in the area you are pumping too. The simple solution is just to move your ATO tube to dose to the tank rather then the sump (or really anywhere where the output of the tube is higher then the water level in the container your adding from. Another option would be to use a peristaltic pump like the 50ml dosing pump but rather then pay $100 for a quality non-siphoning peristaltic pump your really better off just moving the output of the tube.
by Bob on April 4, 2014, @9:44 PM
What is the difference between a Kessil A350W and A360W?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Bob,
The main difference is that the A360 can be controlled via an external aquarium controller and the A350 cannot. There is also some minor difference like the control knobs on the light. On the A350 you control the white channel and the blue channel. On the A360 one knob controls the overall intensity and the other knob controls the color.
by Matt on April 7, 2014, @8:42 AM
Why the sudden price drop? Are these being discontinued? While supplies last... Does this mean you will no longer be offering this product? I had been considering 3 of these lights but nice I am scared to pull the trigger...
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Matt,
Kessil has discontinued these lights (the A360 basically is the same LED with more updated controls). If you don't need to be able to control them, its a great price on a great LED.
by Ray on June 8, 2014, @3:14 PM
What height should these be mounted at and in respect to what? Top of tank surface? Or bottom of tank?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Ray,
There isn't a specific mounting distance that is required. It's pretty typical to mount them with the light roughly 6" off the surface, but depending on the situation you may want to raise the light to get more spread or lower the light for a bit higher intensity right below it. Just make sure its not being splashed on or getting wet.
Kessil A350/A350W Manufacturer's Manual
Dense Matrix LED
Kessil has spent millions of dollars and five years researching a different approach to LED. Instead of individually wrapped LED chips, Kessil tightly packs them together. This results in blends of different light wavelengths before they leave the light, providing uniform color throughout your tank. The single light source eliminates the spotlight effect, effectively spreading the light over a wide area.

Fishing report for July 29, 2010by
What's biting in area waters:
St. Lucie County
Guide Charlie Conner reports there are still plenty of black drum, sheepshead, snapper and sand perch holding around structure, docks and bridges.
Either live or dead shrimp will work best. The beaches continue to provide whiting and croaker along the surf. Mackerel are still being caught around the Fort Pierce Inlet and channels. Snook are feeding around the docks at night hitting shrimp and jigs. Dolphin up to 20 pounds and a few kingfish continue to make a showing at the docks.
Martin County
Snook Nook Bait and Tackle in Jensen Beach reports ladyfish and sheepshead have been hitting live shrimp around the spoil islands north of the St. Lucie Inlet. Bluefish are hitting spoons along the beach north of the inlet, with whiting and jacks to the south hitting shrimp. Dolphin up to 20 pounds continue to chase down trolled ballyhoo in 200 to 300 feet. Snapper and grouper are hitting both live and dead bait on the shallow reefs from 30 to 60 feet.
Northern Palm Beach County
Calm seas this week allowed excellent diving conditions for lobster mini-season. Shallow reefs were covered with divers from the Lake Worth Inlet south to Sloan's Curve. A few anglers and divers found better numbers of lobster in deeper water from 60 to 90 feet. Mark Cope and R.J. Torsey of West Palm Beach grabbed eight bugs Thursday. Bill Taylor on the Black Dog is finding a good bottom bite with mutton, mangrove and yellowtail snapper. Kingfish are still around, averaging 8 to 12 pounds. Juno Beach Pier anglers are catching jacks, snook and snapper early in the morning.
Southern Palm Beach County
The Lady K Drift Boat reports some excellent days of bottom fishing this week. Many of the reefs in 80 to 90 feet south of the Boynton Inlet have been holding snapper along with a few keeper-sized grouper. Kingfish have been spotty, with the best bite coming on the morning trips. Mangrove
snapper and sandperch continue to hit live and frozen shrimp along the seawalls. The inlet has been abundant with bluefish, Spanish mackerel and a
few pompano along the beach. Look for blackdrum and sheepshead around area bridges and along seawalls.
Freshwater Lakes
Peacock bass are biting well along the Lake Ida and Osborne chain. Most of them won't hesitate to hit a live shad, but are also being caught on
crankbaits, Rat-L-Traps and top water plugs. Largemouth bass are hitting on live shad and shiners among grass beds and vegetation where the water
clarity is better. Feeder canals are also great spots for locating bass. Thick hydrilla mats make excellent shaded cover for bass throughout the day.
Lake Okeechobee
Lake Okeechobee water level was recorded Thursday at 13.9 feet above sea level. Anglers are catching bass, bluegill and shellcracker in the rim canal
and the dynamite holes along the south end of the lake. Rat-L-Traps and plastic worms worked along the cuts leading from the lake to the rim canal
have been catching bass. The rocks around Pahokee and the waters around Kreamer Island also have been productive for bass. Crickets and worms are being used to catch bluegill and shellcracker.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is footing more of the bill for overseas bases in Germany, Japan and South Korea even as the military reduces the number of American troops in Europe and strategically repositions forces in Asia, a congressional report says.
The exhaustive, yearlong investigation by the Senate Armed Services Committee focused on costs and burden-sharing as the United States spends more than $10 billion a year to back up the U.S. military presence overseas, with 70 percent of the amount expended in the three nations. The figure does not include military personnel costs.
The panel's report, obtained by The Associated Press in advance of its Wednesday release, found the financial contributions by those host countries lagging behind costs or increases in U.S. spending. The report identified inherent problems and missteps in the compensation system as the U.S. returns a growing number of its upgraded facilities on foreign land to the host countries.
The report insisted that the American presence in the countries is vital, especially with bellicose threats from a nuclear North Korea, China's military growth and Germany's partnership with the U.S. in NATO. However, the Pentagon is now facing the pressure of deficit-driven, smaller budgets while looking to scale back or close overseas and U.S. domestic bases.
The cost arrangements with allies have drawn greater congressional scrutiny — and frustration.
"The growth in our share has really been pretty stunning. And I think we've got to stop that direction," Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the committee, said in an interview. "We cannot carry these greater and greater and greater percentages of the costs of maintaining these facilities. The ones that we give back, we're going to have to be given appropriate consideration for the improvements, and the ones that we keep will have to have a much fairer burden-sharing than has been the case in the last 10 years."
The size of the U.S. force in Germany is expected to drop in the coming year as the Army plans to deactivate one brigade combat team next year and possibly reduce the force even further with a cut of around 2,500 soldiers. Currently, the U.S. has 48,000 active-duty personnel in Germany at a cost of $4 billion.
The amount does not include military personnel costs of $3.9 billion.
The troop reductions — the Army already deactivated one heavy brigade combat team in October 2012 — have resulted in excess military facilities. However, instead of getting cash for the buildings, the U.S. has been negotiating residual value, in-kind payments of services or facilities with a cash value.
Cash payments would be placed in an account and only used for maintenance, repair and environmental restoration. In-kind payments can be directed to military construction.
The committee identified some questionable military construction projects from this arrangement. About $200,000 of residual value, in-kind payments were directed to add sunrooms to senior officer homes in Stuttgart, Germany, in 2007.
"Before the 200-square-foot additions, the homes were each 2,490 square feet, well above DoD's minimum size standard," the report said.
The report found that the U.S. has negotiated the return of more than 100 facilities to Germany since 2005, yet they haven't been included in the residual value settlements between the two countries. Their current value is nearly $1.1 billion.
In South Korea, where there are 28,500 troops, the U.S. plans to move its forces from the Yongsan Garrison in Seoul to Camp Humphreys, about 40 miles south of the capital. The U.S. must provide most of the military family housing and cover the cost, estimated at $7 billion.
In return, South Korea gets prime real estate in downtown Seoul. During the transition, the U.S. will be responsible for maintaining both sites at a considerable cost. The project also calls for a $10 million museum at the newer base.
In January 2009, the two countries signed an agreement on South Korean contributions. The report found that "while the agreement increased South Korean contributions in subsequent years to keep up with inflation, South Korea's contributions have not kept pace with U.S. costs."
The United States' non-personnel costs in South Korea were $1.1 billion last year. U.S. spending in the country was expected to exceed South Korea's contributions by $330 million.
The Americans have about 50,000 troops in Japan, about half stationed on Okinawa. The cost is estimated at $2 billion in non-personnel costs for the U.S.
In 1992, Japan contributed more than $1 billion to the facility improvement program, an amount that has dropped to $200 million in recent years. Further complicating the situation, the report found, some 20 percent of that amount is reserved for Japanese projects, often ones requested by local communities.
For nearly two decades the closure of Marine Corps Air Station Futenma and the construction of a replacement facility in northern Okinawa have been in the works. In hopes that the new facility was imminent, repairs and other work at Futenma remained undone and many of its 50-year-old-plus facilities show their age.
Only a few projects were financed at an installation that been "closing since 1996," the report said.
Last month, the committee approved the report by voice vote.

Kent State will wear No. 54 on helmets to honor fallen teammate Jason BitskoSam Cooper at Dr. Saturday13 hrs ago
A day after the tragic death of starting center Jason Bitsko, the Kent State players have already come up with a way to honor their fallen teammate.
Head coach Paul Haynes said Thursday that Bitsko's teammates will wear his number, No. 54, on the side of their helmets through the season.
.@KentStFootball will wear 54 on one side of helmet in memory of Jason Bitsko. #KSUJason54 pic.twitter.com/qoZYWmYTDt
"Jason Bitsko was not just a Golden Flash, he was a son, he was a brother, he was a mentor, he was a friend," Haynes said.
South Carolina is installing massive Steve Spurrier banner outside Williams-Brice Stadium (Photos)Sam Cooper at Dr. Saturday17 hrs ago
When Texas A&M arrives at South Carolina's Williams-Brice Stadium for next Thursday night's season opener, the Aggies will be greeted by Gamecocks' head coach Steve Spurrier.
No, the Ol' Ball Coach will not be personally waiting outside the stadium when A&M's team bus arrives. Instead, an enormous Spurrier banner will be hung up on the side of Williams-Brice.
This thing is massive. Take a look.

Iman Marshall asks fans on Twitter to decide his final visit between Oklahoma and TexasNick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday18 hrs ago
This is an idea that sounds really good when you don't consider the possible drawbacks.
Iman Marshall,a five-star DB recruit according to Rivals, wants to take six official visits. However, NCAA regulations only permit five. Notre Dame, Florida State, LSU and Michigan are set and the fifth visit is between Oklahoma and Texas. So Marshall decided to enlist the help of fans on Twitter to decide his fifth visit.
Had To Put A Twist To It #HereYouGo pic.twitter.com/9Lc6TN0sU9
We know how vicious fans can be on social media, so while Marshall may have good intentions, he's in a spot where he's opening himself up for a lot of trash talk, both towards himself and Texas and Oklahoma from the rival fanbases.
Steve Spurrier says Mike Davis could miss South Carolina's season openerSam Cooper at Dr. Saturday19 hrs ago
South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier voiced some concern Wednesday about the status of star running back Mike Davis for the Gamecocks' season opener against Texas A&M next Thursday.
"Mike Davis has been hurt, he hasn't practiced all week," Spurrier said, . "I don't know if he'd even be able to start or not. But we got Brandon Wilds, he's ready to go. Shon Carson, Dave Williams, so we're in good shape there."
Running backs coach Everette Sands told The State he didn't believe Davis' injury, which occurred Saturday, was serious, but Spurrier made it sound like Davis may be limited for the ninth-ranked Gamecocks.
"He hasn't practiced much, so we'll see how much he's ready to play for the game," Spurrier said.
If Davis is limited or can't go, the guys Spurrier mentioned – Wilds, Carson and Williams – should be able to fill the void. Carson and Wilds, both juniors, have seen significant touches in reserve roles for the Gamecocks throughout their careers. Williams, a well-regarded redshirt freshman from Philadelphia, is also ready to see his first game action.
Ohio State retails expect to take a hit from No. 5 jersey salesGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday20 hrs ago
No one wants the jersey of an injured player.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, Ohio State jersey retailers expect to take a significant hit this season because they have too many No. 5 jerseys and not enough people who want to buy them.
Ohio State announced earlier this week that quarterback Braxton Miller would miss the season after suffering an injury to his throwing shoulder. Even though Miller said he'd be back next season, no one wants to pony up the money in case that doesn't work out.
"People want the numbers that are on the field, typically," Kelly Dawes, owner of College Traditions near Ohio Stadium told the paper. "We felt it. Everybody who came in yesterday, they were all taking about" Miller's season-ending shoulder injury.
ROTOTD: Will Muschamp's doppelganger spotted in TallahasseeGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday20 hrs ago
Welcome to our Dr. Saturday feature titled "Random offseason tweet of the day." With real games just days away, coaches and players are still tweeting about non-football-related things as the season approaches. In this space, we'll try to find the funniest and goofiest tweets of the day. If you see something, don't hesitate to send it to us.
Will Muschamp was spotted working at a Mellow Mushroom in Tallahassee on Wednesday night — well at least it was someone who looked like Muschamp.
Brendan Sonnone, who writes about Florida State for the Orlando Sentinel, tweeted out this gem of Muschamp's doppelganger serving up some tasty pizza.
Will Muschamp doppelganger working at Mellow Mushroom in Tallahassee? @osgators #MellowMuschamp pic.twitter.com/UjG6w0dLEp
That's not a bad likeness. The guy even has the right colored shirt on.
Of course this wasn't really Muschamp, but go ahead and start the "Jobs Will Muschamp will have after he's fired" jokes anyway.
SportsCenter anchor shows frustration with brief coverage of death of Kent State's Jason Bitsko (Video)Sam Cooper at Dr. Saturday21 hrs ago
As a sports fan, I tend to instinctively flip to ESPN's SportsCenter most times when I turn on my TV, but there are some days where I just can't stand the show's bombarding coverage of one or two main topics.
It used to be Tim Tebow, but that transferred over to nonstop segments about Johnny Manziel and, in the last week or so, injured Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller.
When SportsCenter devoted less than 30 seconds to the death of Kent State center Jason Bitsko, Miller's high school teammate, longtime anchor Neil Everett was clearly not pleased.
"Guys like Bitsko don't get headlines. Those go to Manziel not starting in Cleveland and Miller unable to play in Columbus," Everett said.
Then, seeming a bit exasperated and definitely angry, Everett turned it over to a reporter with another update on Miller and the Buckeyes.
UConn's mascot did the Ice Bucket Challenge and challenged Georgia's Uga (Video)Nick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday21 hrs ago
The ubiquity of the Ice Bucket Challenge means that humans now have to do something original and spectacular to get noticed. But dogs doing the Ice Bucket Challenge? We'll definitely watch.
UConn's Jonathan XIV did the challenge to benefit the ALS Association this week and challenged Georgia's Uga IX. There shouldn't be much consideration for Uga IX to accept. On hot days at Sanford Stadium, Uga is given a bag of ice to lay on. This is going to be easy for him.
Jonathan was challenged by Northern Illinois' Mission, who did the challenge and also challenged Dubs at the University of Washington. It was still adorable even though Mission just sat in a kiddie pool of ice.
We anxiously await Uga's response. Maybe he'll challenge Bevo. Or Mike the Tiger.

Harvey Updyke, the Auburn tree poisoner, to do a dunk tank for charityNick Bromberg at Dr. Saturday22 hrs ago
Harvey Updyke is back in the public eye and this time it's for something good.
The man who poisoned the oaks at Auburn's Toomer's Corner is going to do a dunk tank for charity in September. The event will be September 27 in Mobile, Ala., and Updyke will be available not only for the dunk tank but for people to throw pies at his face as well.
"He thought about it and thought about it," his wife Elva Updyke told ESPN.com. "His daughter said he needed to do it because it will show that he's not as big of a nut as some people believe. He told them they can do whatever they want to him if it will raise money for kids."
The event is run by T.J. Hodges, who is raising money for the family of John Oliver, a terminally ill child in Mobile. Oliver had cancer and died in July. According to Hodges, former Alabama QB AJ McCarron and his mother Dee Dee Bonner are also helping organize the event.

Harold Callander, 86
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 32
Harold Callander of Waite Park, formerly of the Kimball area, died at home Monday morning, Aug. 6, 2012, surrounded by his family. He was 86.
Services celebrating his life will be at 12 p.m. Friday, Aug. 10, at the Miller-Carlin Funeral Home in St. Cloud with Father Daniel Walz officiating. Visitation will be from 11 a.m. Friday, until the time of the service at the funeral home. Burial will be at 2 p.m. at Camp Ripley in Little Falls.
Harold Oscar Callander was born May 1, 1926, to Arvid and Mary (Larson) Callander in Kingston Township. He was raised on the family farm with his brother Al, until graduating high school. Harold joined the U.S. Army 11th Airborne serving in the Pacific and Japan. He attained the rank of sergeant before being honorably discharged in 1946. Harold married Dolores Chmielewski May 18, 1955, and together they raised two children, Kevin and Sandee. He was a hard worker and was self-employed as a meat-market owner, over-the-road trucker, and owner of Century 21-Callander Realty in Champlin.
He, with his brother built the Playland Ballroom in Kimball where many people enjoyed roller skating and dancing. Harold also worked as a gear foreman for FMC for 30 years. He is known for being an honorable man, for his love of vintage cars, his wood crafting, and his devotion to his family.
Harold is preceded in death by his parents Arvid and Mary Callander; and his brother Al Oberg.

District Attorney Greg Edwards says he plans to go to the Grand Jury for a murder indictment against an Albany woman, after a Magistrate Judge dismissed them.
24 year old Sade Britt had been charged with felony murder in the death of 52 year old Anthony Westbrook, whose nude body was found on a mattress in an illegal dump site in South Albany. He had been shot in the back of the head execution style.
Police say Britt, wore a mask, and was driving Westbrook's car and using his debit card at a downtown bank the night before his body was found.
On September 28th Magistrate Judge Robert Revell dismissed the murder charges after a committal hearing for a lack of evidence.
D. A. Greg Edwards says he will ask the Grand Jury for a murder indictment, while Britt's lawyer says there is no evidence.
"Even if there are persons further involved in this case, our intention is to show that part of this case regarding this defendant," Edwards said.
Britt's Attorney Roosevelt Carter II said, "I believe the police department relied on inmates in jail as far as their confidential sources, who lack credibility. And finally I believe the only reason she is charged with murder was she exercised her constitutional right to stay silent and her right to have counsel."
Britt remains in jail without bond on theft and stolen car charges. The D. A. says the investigation into Westbrook's murder continues.

The mother of a 23-year-old woman who was beaten so severely that she may need plastic surgery says her daughter was targeted because of her sexual orientation.
WALA-TV in Mobile (http://bit.ly/Uo6aaW ) reported Monday that Mallory Owens remains hospitalized after being attacked on Thanksgiving at her home in Mobile.
The victim's mother wants to see charges of second degree assault upgraded to attempted murder.
Travis Hawkins was arrested in connection with the assault, and was released on bond from the Mobile Metro Jail. An attorney for the 18-year-old man says the incident was not a hate crime.
Owens suffered a fractured jaw, swollen eyes and a broken cheekbone. She is recovering from her injuries in the USA Medical Center.

There may not be snow, there may not be reindeer, but there will be certainly be plenty of holiday cheer at Mercyhurst College when Mercyhurst Student Government collaborates with more than 10 other campus organizations and the Mercyhurst community to celebrate "Christmas on Campus" with about 100 underprivileged children from the Erie community.
On Saturday, Dec. 14, between 1 and 4 p.m., dozens of students from Mercyhurst will fill the Carolyn Herrmann Student Union with holiday decorations and Christmas excitement for area children brought to the campus for the day.
Each young visitor is paired with a Mercyhurst student "buddy" and can play holiday games, create their own Christmas crafts, and visit with Santa. At the end of the day, the children gather in the student union's Great Room together to hear the telling of "Twas the Night Before Christmas," as read by associate professor of English Barry McAndrew, while enjoying milk and cookies. Following their snack, the youngsters will open their presents from Santa Claus.
The entire Mercyhurst community supports the annual Christmas on Campus event, from student volunteers who work that day to students and employees who donate funds, time and gifts in the weeks prior to the event.
Anne Siegel organized this year's event with the help of Kerry Moriarty, Jessica Montana, Addie Risner, Kelly Rose Duttine, Tracy Heranic, Patrick Neubert, Jessica Ellam, Meghan Morhse, Marie Vogan, Alison Royer, Lauren Griglak and Jessie Verbic. Penny Hanes, associate professor of accounting, and Cass Shimek, associate dean of student development, are staff advisers for the event.
Organizations sponsoring activities during Christmas on Campus include: the Music Educators National Conference, Circle K (Kiwanis), Beta Beta Beta (Biology Honor Society), Mercyhurst Student Government, the Student Activities Committee, Alpha Pi Sigma (Criminal Justice Honor Society), Diversity 101, the Fashion Merchandising Club, Student Dietetic Association, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and the Council for Exceptional Children. The American Society of Interior Design will be handling the decorations for the student union.

text: The Bangor Daily News reported on the 40th anniversary of the Wilde-Stein Club, the first openly gay student organization in Maine. The club was started by a group of University of Maine students to attract people who felt ostracized and closed off from the rest of society because of their sexual preferences. On Oct. 18, two of the group's founders, Steven Bull and John Frank, met with the group's current members and university officials to tell the story about the club's beginnings and to celebrate the changes that have since taken place. The group is now called The Wilde-Stein Alliance for Sexual Diversity.

Following the Genlyte Thomas Group's acquisition of Entertainment Technology (ET) in August 2001, ET has made an impact on our industry, introducing a number of innovative products that provide unique solutions to challenging applications. Since the successful application of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) dimming technology in its Intelligent Raceway product, ET is certainly creating a comprehensive line of IGBT dimming products with the ultra-compact Bak Pak™ individual dimmer. The Bak Pak was introduced in December 2003 and won an EDDY Award as Lighting Product of the Year in 2004. A single IGBT dimmer, in either 750W or 1200W versions, in a compact, sleek enclosure, with several mounting options, and silent, low heat dimming, the Bak Pak presents a winning package for what it is. Add DMX512 control with in and out 5-pin connectors, a built-in effects generator with network functionality, and a list price of $250, and suddenly, the Bak Pak is a real value leader.
Looking at the footprint of the Bak Pak, one is able to quickly discern the key feature of this dimmer. At 4.53" wide, 6.82" high, and 2.93" deep for the 750W version, and a slightly thicker 3.18" for the 1200W, the Bak Pak is more compact than other single dimmer solutions. The 1200W is only slightly larger due to the increased heat sink required to deal with the heat generated by its potentially higher loading capacity. Weight is kept to a minimum at 2.1lbs. The construction feels solid and road-worthy, yet I think that dropping the Bak Pak would break some internal solid-state dimmer component loose. Anyone who has felt the warmth of even a small wall box dimmer in a residential situation knows that dimming generates heat. It is therefore impressive that the Bak Pak can handle 750W or 1200W loads and not get too hot to touch barehanded after hours of use.
The Bak Pak comes fitted with 36" in and 18" out leads, eliminating the commitment to any one connector. Have the need for an Edison supply and stage-pin out today and a stage-pin in twist-loc out tomorrow? No problem. Simply swap the connectors on the leads; there are no separate ordering codes for a connector version. The same universal philosophy extends to the mounting hardware, which is easily swapped. Hanging clamp, fixture yoke, or wall mountings are all available accessories from ET. I like the way all of the mounting fittings have been designed with a sensitivity to elegance, making the look of the installed Bak Pak that much more acceptable. No unsightly boxes are dangling over the balcony rail from chrome safety cables here! In fact, using a typical C-clamp would only take away from this stylishness, as the clamp itself would be nearly the size of the dimmer.
In addition to the size difference, the model variants are identified by a white laminate plate at the bottom of each, with either a "7" for the 750W or a "12" for the 1200W. The backplate of the dimmer has a silver reflective label with the rating and safety notices. Also located at the bottom label is a test/reset button, which is great for quick focusing or resetting an overload.
The only user-accessible components are a series of dip switches and rotary dials located behind a thumb screw-secured, swivel-away flap. The thumb screw and flap work well. The access they provide and the settings within are not quite as welcoming. This is where the personality of the Bak Pak is defined, DMX addressing is set, and effects are controlled. The wheels require a small "tweaker" to set, provide very little feedback, and are somewhat difficult to read. The dip switches are easier to set and are clearly flipped in one direction or the other. As to the label indicating which direction is on or off, see the aforementioned complaint regarding the ease of setting the wheels. The manual provides diagrams showing which switch does what in relation to the unit's exterior shape. I would say that someone setting up a few of these would want to do as much as possible on the bench rather than after the dimmer is deployed overhead.
A great deal of software functionality is accessed through the switches and wheels. Using the dip switches, one can set up the Bak Pak to behave in either dim or non-dim modes, at 115V or 120V, with a 450 or 800 microsecond rise time, and in either forward or reverse phase control. I get the feeling, however, that these would rarely be altered from factory defaults. The rotary dials set the DMX address while doubling as the adjustment parameters for the built-in effects. Set the first wheel to 8, and the subsequent two wheels dictate a fixed level in percentage, and that sort of control is explained in the manual. The same goes for the flicker effects and so forth, with the wheel's actions shifting with each mode. It works. Some of the effects may be more useful than others. The effects become increasingly powerful when one uses the networked effects feature. This novel communication between units makes for some pretty smart effects in stand-alone applications. It seems as though someone would truly need to study how these effects work and have a very specific application to make it useful.
While we are on the subject of software, I would like to address the functionality of the previously mentioned test/reset button, which is more like a Motorola cellular phone's smart key with function. Momentary contact flashes the dimmer for focusing, while holding will fade the dimmer up and hold the level. Multi-function beauty abounds in the Bak Pak.
The dimming performance of both models was good, with both providing similar results with comparable loads. The Bak Pak is exceptionally responsive and awfully quiet. This is particularly amazing when looking at the small form factor. Although, it seems to me that there is an inherent fast-bottom behavior in the dimmer's curve. In 30-second fades from full to zero, there was a clearly accelerated fall-off from 20% downward. The same was true in the reverse, with the light "turning on" to somewhere above 10% then smoothly fading from there. With the curve being completely software driven, I would like to see a "slow-bottom" curve added to the options settings, principally for smaller loads. I am consistently looking for dimmer responses that start smoothly and slowly and ramp up with intensity, often finding myself applying a slow bottom profile to an entire cue in the console. This is not to say that an inherently slow bottom is right all the time. I see a place for both types of curve, but it seems where the Bak Pak will find itself is the sort of application where this ramping up effect would be most pleasing. Otherwise, dimming response is every bit like that of other SCR type dimmers, if not outwardly faster.
Overall, the Bak Pak is a fine dimmer. I rate it highly for its form factor — dimensions, size, mounting, and connector options, and the like are all spot on. Also favorable is the performance of the IGBT dimming technology and software feature set. Where the Bak Pak comes up short is in dimming curve performance, where I find the fast-bottom curve to be problematic. Again, this can be solved by ET's software engineers, and perhaps they will do some "fixing."
As for application, I can see many uses for this compact dimmer, particularly in installations where a centrally located dimming solution may be impractical or impossible. Bak Pak's installation is much simpler than that of a conventional rack-based system for the inexperienced contractor, as all one needs to do is run a 20-Amp circuit leaving the DMX and such to others. I do have a couple of concerns with mass installation of distributed dimming. What happens when one dimmer goes on the fritz and seizes DMX transmission to other dimmers downstream? Or when a unit ceases to function in an inaccessible area? The entire lighting system could fall victim to one component's failure. The benefit analysis of distributed dimming is an interesting issue that can only be answered by weighing all considerations for a particular application.
What ET has done with Bak Pak is create a solid, individual, off-the-shelf dimming product at a fantastic price that is certainly worthy of consideration by both basic and advanced users.

Hang On, Saxby!
by Todd Beeton, Mon Jun 09, 2008 at 03:31:19 PM EDT
You know things are bad when the guy heading up the Republicans' efforts to win senate seats is crossing his fingers that he can hold on to 41 (way to shoot high, John!) and hanging his hopes on winning Georgia's senate seat.
Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., set a floor on the number of Senate seats the party must control: 41.
"The number that we get to is really, really important in the U.S. Senate," he said. "That's one of the reasons Saxby [Chambliss] absolutely must hold his seat." [...]
By holding at least 41 Senate seats, the GOP would prevent the Democrats from having the 60 votes required to end filibusters, which prevent votes on bills.
Some might interpret this as good ole fashioned expectations lowering but to me it's actually an acknowledgement of reality. Remember in 2006, most predictions for Democratic gains were in the 2-3 seat range, with 6 as the absolute max? Well, we hit our max. This year, both the playing field and, if it's possible, the political environment, are even worse for Republicans and they know that as of today the minimum the Republicans will lose in November is about 5 seats (most likely VA, NH, NM, AK and CO.) To achieve their lofty goal of holding onto 41 seats, Republicans would have to lose only 3 of the 4 next most vulnerable seats: Dole in NC, Wicker in MS, Smith in OR and Coleman in MN. And that doesn't even take into account what is arguably the next tier of senate opportunities for Democrats: Collins in ME, McConnell in KY and Cornyn in TX. As you can see, Saxby Chambliss doesn't even make the top 12, so the fact that John Ensign sees the Georgia race as his firewall indicates to me that holding onto 41 might actually represent their best case scenario.

Dragons 24 Glasgow 23
Updated 9:48am Monday 24th February 2014 in Sport
NEWPORT Gwent Dragons lock Andrew Coombs hailed the perfect weekend after enjoying a superb victory over Glasgow just days after a Test triumph with Wales, writes Chris Kirwan.
The 29-year-old came off the bench in the Six Nations win against France on Friday evening and was at the heart of his region's 24-23 success against the RaboDirect Pro12 title hopefuls at Rodney Parade.
Glasgow led 20-10 after an hour only to be stung by late tries by lock Cory Hill and wing Ross Wardle plus nerveless conversions by full-back Rhys Jones.
"I've never had two wins in a weekend before so it's great," said the lock, who played the full 80 minutes. "We showed great spirit to turn this around.
"We are a stronger team this year and we have experienced players like Richie Rees and Rhys Thomas who know how to win and keep the younger boys going. We performed well and got the result that we deserved."
The seventh-placed Dragons are four points behind the Scarlets and five clear of Cardiff Blues with a game in hand over their foes from the capital.

The destruction at the scene of a collision on Highway 138 recently.
CORNWALL, Ontario – City councillors voted to support their counterparts in South Stormont to get a traffic light installed at the corner of Highway 138 and Headline Road.
"The state, or the condition of Highway 138, is very important to the City of Cornwall," said Coun. Bernadette Clement. "In the last five years it has become more and more worrisome."
Clement said the volume of traffic, coupled with the number of deer in the woods surrounding the highway, needs to be addressed.
She told council there is a study underway to determine if a new deer warning system should be installed on the highway.
Residents living near the intersection are advocating that a traffic light be installed at the intersection, specifically to help motorists trying to navigate to nearby Ecole Ste-Lucie.
"Not too long ago I spent months bringing somebody up to the cancer clinic in Ottawa – and we would not take the 138," said Coun. Syd Gardiner. "I hope that (South Stormont) will put the pressure on (the Ministry of Transportation)."
Thus far there has been no indication the ministry is prepared to install a traffic light.

LEWISVILLE — Five-year-old Sean Smith jumps from one toy to another in the front yard of his Highland Village home. His dad smiles broadly watching him. So does the lady in the yard with them, Marie Bell.
Sean can't sit still for very long, but he is the glue holding together a new-found family.
"She's my sister — not half-sister, but whole sister — and she will forever be that," said Sean's father, Marshall Smith, talking about Bell.
One month ago, Bell gave Marshall Smith a kidney. Bell teaches kindergarten at Highland Village Elementary and Sean is one of her students.
"My fellow man needed me," she said. "I was going to answer that call."
Sean was late to Ms. Bell's class one day. His 14-year-old brother, Tyler, brought in a note to excuse the tardiness and told Ms. Bell about their dad's failing health.
She instantly knew she had to do something. Bell was tested, and was a perfect match to be a kidney donor.
The transplant surgery was a success.
"I feel fresh," Smith said at his home on Wednesday. "I feel like I just woke up, stepped outside, and there's morning dew all over the place, and I'm running through the dew, and it feels real good."
Yet as perfect as everything seems one month after the transplant, there is still a real concern: The cost of staying healthy.
Anti-rejection medication is helping Smith's body learn to accept Bell's kidney, yet Medicare will only cover that medication for three years. If he stops taking it, his body could reject the kidney, leading to the need for more dialysis and perhaps even another transplant.
"I have been concerned about whether I was going to be able to afford the medication," Smith said.
His congressman, U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Lewisville), is proposing legislation to extend that coverage.
House Resolution 2969 would not extend full Medicare benefits to patients, but it would permit coverage for anti-rejection medication. Burgess said Medicare spends an average of $71,000 per year per dialysis patient. He says extending the anti-rejection medication would keep people off dialysis, and would instead cost $17,000 per year per patient.
That is a savings of $54,000 per year per patient. House Resolution 2969 remains in a subcommittee.
Bell returns to Sean and the rest of her kindergarten class next week. She said she is slightly sore, but spiritually strong.
"I just did what I thought was right," she said.
Smith is amazed by how it all came together.
"It was like a puzzle, a giant puzzle," he said. "God just took and put all the pieces together, and just made it work."

Baked Barbecue Pork Chops Recipe
"This is a recipe that my mom used to prepare when I was growing up. Our whole family loved it," writes Bonnie Schiltz of Oakley, Kansas. "Now I enjoy preparing this same dish for my husband and our four children. They seem to enjoy it as much as I did when I was a kid."
- 4 boneless pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick and 4 ounces each)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 bay leaf
- Sprinkle pork chops with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chops in oil for 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned.
- Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. In a small saucepan, combine the water, ketchup, vinegar, celery seed, nutmeg, bay leaf and remaining salt; bring to a boil. Pour over pork.
- Cover and bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Discard bay leaf. Yield: 4 servings.

These chops were great. Very tender and sauce had a good tangy bite. Used leftovers next day for pork chop sandwiches, just added a little onion to leftover sauce and heated it up and spread over buns. Took meat off bone and made a tasty sandwich. YUM!

From bestselling, Printz Award-winning author Libba Bray, the story of a plane of beauty pageant contestants that crashes on a desert island.
Teen beauty queens. A "Lost"-like island. Mysteries and dangers. No access to emall. And the spirit of fierce, feral competition that lives underground in girls, a savage brutality that can only be revealed by a journey into the heart of non-exfoliated darkness. Oh, the horror, the horror! Only funnier. With evening gowns. And a body count.
