Witches! Princes! Giants and goblins! Suddenly, fairy tales are everywhere. On TV, NBC's Grimm and ABC's Once upon a Time both won ratings high enough to let them live happily ever after (or at least through a second season), while the big screen awaits four major storybook features: Jack the Giant Killer, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters and two variations of the same classic, Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman.
In Mirror (opening March 30), Julia Roberts plays the age-challenged Evil Queen with comic gusto: "They're not wrinkles; they're crinkles!" she decrees. And since her funds are diminishing as fast as her waist is expanding, she goes cougar, setting out to steal the rich prince from Snow White, her younger rival. The more action-oriented Huntsman pits baby beauty Kristen Stewart against the formidable Charlize Theron. The film's Queen Ravenna is ravenous, all right—roaring "Beauty is my power," she plans to rejuvenate by eating Snow's heart.
Was the original "Snow White" an equally cautionary tale about the danger of clinging to youth? "Yes—but you could also say it's a cautionary story about worshipping youth," says Kate Bernheimer, associate professor at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette and editor of Fairy Tale Review. "The older woman—who in various versions over the years has been the biological mother as often as the stepmother—suffers because Snow White is considered more beautiful. The poor Queen! She is horrified at losing her status because she has been told to be so. I'd love to see a version that creates empathy for her."
If not empathy, Roberts at least promises realism. Skin "as white as snow"? Big deal. "She's 18 years old, and her skin has never seen the sun," scoffs Roberts-as-Queen. "So of course it's good."

Ron Paul knew it, I knew it, and every Conservative and Libertarian Blogger knew it.
The U.S. dollar's thrashing on Thursday after a last-minute European deal to contain the debt crisis may have sealed the currency's fate.
And it is all downhill from here.
The European agreement, which involves a 50 percent write-down of Greek debt and boosting the euro zone's bailout fund to as much as 1 trillion euros, has averted a collapse in Europe and spurred a rush to risky currencies and assets once again at the expense of the dollar.
Add in to the mix: a suddenly revitalized U.S. economy that a few weeks ago was teetering on the verge of recession and had fueled speculation about another round of quantitative easing. Almost overnight it leaves a whole new global outlook that appears a little more encouraging.
via Dollar Decline in Full Swing in Risk-On Environment – CNBC.
This is what happens when the Federal Reserve prints money for Countries to bail out their debt crises. Ron Paul has said this for years and he is right —- about that anyway. This in turn devalues our currency and causes the prices of everything to go up. This also causes everyone to run to go Gold, which drives the prices through the roof, causing a bubble. The problem is, when the inflation goes back down, and Gold collapses, people lose money — unless of course, they have other investments to transfer that wealthy into, so they do not lose their money. If we could at least get control of the fed, this sort of stuff would not happen.
Another thing too, this right here ought to be the prime example of why Keynesian Economics does not work at all. Taxing and spending a way out of recession is just not the way to do it. Printing money out of thin air does not solve the problem; it only makes that problem worse. It does that by devaluing the currency that is being mass printed. I know, I am repeating myself; this is why I do not talk about the sort of stuff often, which is because I detest repeating myself repeatedly. I figure my little blog is not going to stop the world from plunging into madness, so why bother.

gOOD PLACE TO STAY IF GOING TO aIRPORT
April 15, 2016
Have been a customer for the last 4 years. Entirely satisfied with accomodations, service etc.
Great service and nice social
April 14, 2016
The staff was very accommodating and efficient. Every time we had any little problem the staff was right there to fix the problem. We locked ourselves out one time and were immediately given another key.. The rooms were comfortable and provided everything we needed. There were 2 TVs provided (1 in the living room and 1 in the bedroom) . The blackout drapes were great. The air/heat was easily adjusted and comfortable. The kitchenette had a full refrigerator and had good dishes and utensils. We had a wonderful 25 day stay. There is only one criticism - the pool is not heated and there is no clock in the pool area. There is a nice hot tub but I would have really liked to have a heated pool. Please work on this for our next stay. :) Thank everyone for a wonderful stay.
Pleasantly Surprised

Dr. John Griffin will have another book presentation at the Lancaster County Library in Lancaster at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
This presentation will concern his new book, "Silent Heroes: Lancaster County in the Civil War." Griffin will sell and sign copies of the book after the presentation. The book sells for $29.
Think old, not new.
That may not be the way you typically think when buying gifts.
But that's the way the owners of antique and collectible stores and consignment shops would like for you to think when you're shopping for gifts for Christmas or at any other time during the year.
If you think old instead of new, a good place to shop in Lancaster County is along U.S. 521, south of Lancaster.
With a bang of the gavel Monday night, the Rev. Ricky Cope's church received the green light to continue its renovations.
Cope, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, has attended every Lancaster County Council meeting for the last two months hoping to gain approval to keep work going on his church, which is relocating from Fort Mill to a former Van Wyck cabinet shop along Steele Hill Road.
Authorities are searching for the men involved in three armed robberies and one attempted robbery earlier this week.
Two armed robberies occurred at convenience stores, as did the attempted robbery. One man was held up by a robber as he was leaving his home, a report said.
Deputies responded to reports of an armed robbery at the AMPM Gas & Grill, 1553 Lynwood Dr., on Monday. A store employee told deputies that a man walked into the store about 10 p.m., pulled out a handgun and demanded money.
A fast-moving low-pressure system out of the Mississippi River Valley brought freezing rain to Lancaster County on Thursday morning that caused havoc for drivers on county roads.
National Weather Service meteorologist Shawn Smith said the area was under a winter weather advisory until 10 a.m. Smith said the freezing rain was the result of precipitation, several days of cold weather and cold air extending to high altitudes.
Two homes were destroyed in separate fires only hours apart over the weekend.
A Lancaster man told Lancaster County deputies that he and his family returned home from eating dinner late Saturday night when they noticed fire coming from the roof of his house at 958 Rock Hill Highway.
He immediately called the fire department and then ran to the back of his house in an attempt to turn off the house's main breaker, an incident report said.
Zion, Van Wyck and Riverside volunteer fire departments responded to the scene.
The local Habitat for Humanity still needs help to try to match a generous pledge before the end of the year.
More than a month ago, an anonymous local donor told Habitat for Humanity that he would donate $10,000 to the organization, just as long as the group can raise the same amount through donations.
The goal has not been met yet, said Habitat board president Doris Hood. She wouldn't say how much has been raised thus far.
Dec. 31 is the last day to donate to this particular effort.
Water gushed onto several county roads early Tuesday morning after someone opened the valves on at least five fire hydrants.
Deputies responded to the Foxbrook Circle area at 1:20 p.m. Tuesday because of a report of water leaking into the roadway.
A nearby resident told the deputy she had seen a man next to the hydrant with a wrench in his hand. After seeing her, the man got into a dark colored car, which had four fog lamps on its roof, and left the scene.
Jody Miles set another milestone after transplant surgery and returned home to Lancaster on Tuesday.
Needless to say, Miles was excited, as was her family and many tracking her progress via Facebook. The return home gives Miles a little time to get ready for the family's Christmas celebration.
"I haven't done any Christmas shopping," she said.
But not much is needed, since her family agreed not to give gifts to the adults this year.
"Just having the time together is all the gift we need," Miles said.
South Carolina is home to many wonderful cultural traditions, though you'd be hard pressed to find one as long-lived as the pottery tradition of the Catawba Indian Nation.
For thousands of years, the Catawba, or Iswa as they call themselves, have lived along the basin of the river that bears their name today.
Generation after generation, the Catawba have passed down their pottery-making skills, adhering to strict rules concerning materials and techniques, but allowing artisans the leeway to change with the times and needs of the market.

Rijeka Travel guide
Rijeka : Michelin's recommendations
Rijeka, or Fiume if one remembers its Italian heritage (1919-43), was formerly the most important town of Croatia. Today it is still the country's largest port and a hub of tourism in the Adriatic. While it may seem somewhat unappealing at first glance, a closer look will reveal some fine examples of Austro-Hungarian architecture. The best time to discover it is undoubtedly the festive carnival period.

I admit upon seeing this bar, I was confused as to what "Stracciatella" was. The wrapper shows an ice cream cone on it, so my first assumption is that it's an ice cream flavor. Interested by all of this, I bought the bar and took it home to review.I cannot resist new things.
Also some poking around the internet, I found out that Stracciatella is the Italian version of our Chocolate Chip ice cream. Which is essentially vanilla ice cream with chocolate flecks in it. Simple, yet tasty. I break open the wrapper to examine it, and as always, Ritter Bars are beautifully pristine. I snap off a row of chocolates and I see the white cream interior, complete with chocolate flecks.
The chocolate has a nice layer of white cream flecked with chocolate bits in it. The flavor is milky at first, then there's an accent with nice notes of the chocolate. The chocolate is rich, but not too sweet. The center is very creamy and tastes like vanilla and milk. I'm immediately reminded of ice cream. I can't really taste the chocolate flecks, but the chocolate exterior more than makes up for that. The two parts together makes it a nice chocolate/vanilla flavor mix. Like a chocolate vanilla twist soft serve ice cream cone.
I found this bar extremely tasty, and it's nice to have a bar with a more vanilla cream filling than a chocolate one. It feels more unique to me for some reason. Everyone I shared this bar with really enjoyed it too, so I know I am not alone in my opinion. If your flavor preference run more on the classical side, I'd give this one a try. It feels new, but with the flavors we all know and love.

Dragons too. Part of the book of Matthew that was cut out by the Catholic church at the Council of Trent included a story about Jesus taming a herd of Dragons, and preventing them from killing his family. Then again, Christianity isn't cool enough for dragon taming wizards.
Frank: where did you find this bit about dragons?
It's in Chapter 18 of the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew: 'And, lo, suddenly there came forth from the cave many dragons; and when the children saw them, they cried out in great terror. Then Jesus went down from the bosom of His mother, and stood on His feet before the dragons; and they adored Jesus, and thereafter retired'
If people believe in god, they do believe in magic.
Only the magic of miracles is congruent with religious beliefs. Of course, magic construed as parlor tricks is quite fine.
Isn't there a story where one of the saints, I think it was Peter, has a magic rap-off with a wizard or something where each performs miracles such as levitation and fireballs and then the wizard kills himself just before he pulls off this epic stunt. I might be wrong; it's been a while before I read the new testicle.
EDIT: Found it. It was Simon Magus. Heres the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Magus
they think its bogus hahaha the irony!!

Admittedly, working at the museum provides a unique perspective on the induction ceremony. We sometimes will know far in advance who is or isn't appearing and who may or may not perform. You look at it on paper and the conversation starts. What will this year's event be like? It's taken me a long time to come to a conclusion but I think I've figured it out. It doesn't matter if this band member doesn't come or that artist doesn't perform. That's all distraction. What makes each annual ceremony a singular event is the display of real human emotion. That's all that truly matters. It's the moment these performers drop the artifice and protection mode they often employ just to survive being in the spotlight, and genuinely reveal themselves. Last night at the Waldorf, Iggy Pop, the most fearsome and uncompromising performer I have ever seen, spoke of the Stooges and his late friend and band mate Ron Asheton, with tears in his eyes. ABBA's Benny Andersson wistfully remembering buying his first record (Elvis Presley's "Don't Be Cruel" / "Treat Me Nice") and how this new and totally foreign music captured him. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder jumping on stage with the Stooges, embracing bassist Mike Watt and shouting along to "I Wanna Be Your Dog" like he's been fanaticizing about it since he was 13 years-old. Graham Nash, now twice inducted, marveling at his 63 year friendship with fellow Hollie Alan Clarke.
Music is made real when it connects to the listener's emotions. When the inductees speak from the heart, it's where the Hall of Fame becomes real.

Price: $78.00
Today we have two-way radio, satellite phones, and sophisticated GPS equipment, but in the 18th century, ships at sea communicated with each other via signal flags. Even with all our modern gear, sometimes low-tech is the way to go, and the flags are still used in conjunction with these newer communication technologies. Each flag stands for a letter and can be used to spell out words, but each flag also stands for a full message. For example the "C" flag can also mean "affirmative," and the "U" flag can be a signal to an approaching ship that it is running into danger. The flags have still more meanings when used in yacht racing.
Specify your initials and artisans in New England will create silver-plate and resin cufflinks showing the corresponding flags, letting you show your nautical flair. Click here for a list of initials and their corresponding flags, or click on the Flag Meanings tab to see what phrase each flag symbolizes in the International Code of Symbols.

You're itching to get away, perhaps with family members in tow, but $300-a-night hotel rooms aren't in the budget. Perhaps it's time to join the tens of thousands of happy travelers who have embraced home-swapping.
"Exchanging may be the best thing I have ever done, and I wish I'd discovered it years earlier," says Boyd Scheff, a New Yorker in his 70s who has done 18 such swaps. In addition to great vacations, Scheff's takeaway includes a goddaughter in Barcelona, the child of the first couple he and his wife exchanged homes with (proving how strong swappers' bonds can become).
With accommodations that include everything from Paris pied-à-terres to Connecticut country homes to Bahamian beach houses, home-swapping is one of the hottest travel trends and offers something for everyone. (Well, everyone comfortable with the idea of letting strangers stay in their home, that is.) And for good reason: Excluding the cost of posting a listing, home swaps are entirely free.
According to HomeExchange.com, a well-respected organization that facilitates swaps, these exchanges work especially well for experienced travelers seeking affordability and authenticity. "In my career as a management consultant, I have stayed in hundreds of hotels the world over," Scheff says, "and I can't say that I miss them at all."
Helen Coyle Bergstein, founder of the 13-year-old exchange service Digsville.com has fond memories of a Caribbean home exchange. "In Anguilla one summer, the entire island treated us like family because our swap partners' dad owned a local jazz club. My husband, Joe, had his flute with him and was invited to sit in with local musicians almost every night of the week."
It's that type of priceless experience that Bergstein says "would not have happened had we been staying in hotels or resorts."
(MORE: Save Money and Feel at Home by House-Swapping)
3 Good Reasons to Swap
- Go local and save money. As a general rule, you'll benefit from more space, increased privacy and all the comforts of home — away from home. Some swappers also trade vehicles and pet care, making the package even more financially attractive. You essentially become a local and get all the perks that go along with that.
- Conserve resources. Keghan Hurst, director of public relations at HomeExchange.com, says trading addresses is also growing in popularity because of what she calls "a collaborative consumption trend." Hurst says, "By exchanging and sharing items, such as your home, bicycle, car, etc., you essentially reduce your carbon footprint." Basically, home-swapping allows you to have an authentic experience, save money and be an environmental do-gooder all at once. It's another sign of sustainable tourism's appeal to the 1.5 billion people expected to travel internationally by 2020.
- Forge lasting relationships. In many situations, exchange partners become friends for life. An alternative to exchanging keys at the same time is to agree to a "hospitality exchange," where members host each other in their private homes at designated times. These do-it-yourself houseguest arrangements nurture social interaction and can be very appealing for mature travelers with years of travel notes to share.
How to Make a Home Swap Happen
1. Choose a reputable swapping company. Most home exchange programs have user-friendly websites that guide you through the process. (See below.) Word-of-mouth recommendations are always a bonus, or consider working with a travel agent familiar with home-swapping.
2. Do your research. Home-swapping is a Web-based industry, so you can "window shop" for your next vacation home at your convenience. Most places allow you to look online for free and post your home for a small fee. Professional home exchange clubs usually provide sample letters and housing descriptions to help you manage a stress-free swap. A great place to launch your quest is with Certified Home Exchange Community, a new watchdog site for the industry with 250 vetted members.
3. Build a meaningful rapport. As Hurst says, "Think of home exchange as Internet dating for your home." As you search for the right match, keep in mind your specific needs, know what you're willing to compromise on, and honor your deal-breakers. Once you find accommodations that match your desires, expect to communicate with the home owner for a few weeks or even months. The better your relationship with your hosts, the happier you're all likely to be.
4. Get — and give — adequate information. The more you can learn about the situation that you're getting into, the lower your risk of disappointment or scams will be. Home Base Holidays director Mark Sealey recommends keeping a reference folder with detailed information on your swaps for your own files and creating one with important household information to leave on-site for your guests. This should include user manuals for appliances or electronics, passwords for Internet access, directions to the nearest hospital and emergency contact numbers. You may also want to create a FAQ sheet that includes such information as the plumber's number and what to do if the lights go out.
Sealey further advises that swappers alert their insurance companies, especially in cases of an extended swap. Confirm your coverage with your homeowners and car insurance companies — and make any needed adjustments well in advance of a swap, especially if international travel is involved.
5. Prepare your home: Go through every room and check for any needed repairs and take care of them. Beyond a reference folder, fill a basket, drawer or a separate folder with local information, like where to find the nearest grocery store or farmers market. Include maps and brochures from nearby attractions. Think of what you'll want when you walk in the door of your new "home" — and prepare the same for your guests.
Ideally, swaps are arranged so far in advance that emails and phone conversations have established a comfortable and trustworthy relationship and most of the questions will have been answered ahead of time.

@PrincetonVolley Hosts No. 8 Lewis, EIVA Rival NJIT, In Key Home Weekend
WEEKEND LINKS: LIVE STATS l LIVE VIDEO l EIVA STANDINGS
TWITTER: PRINCETON ATHLETICS l PRINCETON VOLLEYBALL
The opportunity for both a historic victory and a chance to build upon its EIVA postseason résumé await the Princeton men's volleyball team in a pair of home matches this weekend.
Princeton, winners of six of their last seven matches, will host the eighth-ranked Lewis Flyers Friday at 7 pm in Dillon Gym. One night later, the Tigers will take on EIVA rival NJIT in a rematch of a 3-2 thriller during the regular season. That match will also be a 7 pm start, and both are free for all fans.
The Tigers are currently in a second-place tie in the EIVA with travel partner George Mason, and both teams are coming off home sweeps last weekend. Princeton, which is 3-0 at Dillon Gym this season, scored a 3-1 win over Sacred Heart before knocking off 14th-ranked Harvard 3-1 Saturday night.
The victory over Harvard was special for multiple reasons. First, it moved Princeton ahead of Harvard in the EIVA standings, and it also gave the Tigers their first win over the Crimson since the 2010 season.
It was also a second victory over a ranked team this season, following the season-opening 3-1 win at 12th-ranked UC Santa Barbara. Since men's volleyball became a varsity program at Princeton in 1997, no Tiger team had ever won two regular-season matches over ranked opponents.
The single-season record for ranked wins is three, set by the 1998 Princeton team. That squad defeated two ranked teams in the EIVA playoffs en route to its lone berth in the NCAA Championships. If Princeton can defeat Lewis Friday night, it would match that total with half a season remaining.
Eighth-ranked Lewis (13-5) comes into Friday's match riding a 12-match win streak, including Wednesday's 3-2 comeback win at George Mason. The Patriots won the first two sets and had multiple match balls in the fourth, but 2012 NCAA semifinalist Lewis rallied for the victory.
Geoff Powell led Lewis with 21 kills and 14 digs in the victory at Mason. The sophomore is averaging just below 3.7 kills per set and ranks 15th nationally in the category. He will be facing one of the few hitters ranked above him, as Princeton junior Pat Schwagler is averaging 3.9 kills per set this season.
Four of the Top 20 leaders in blocks will also be on the court, as Lewis' Bobby Walsh (11th) and Princeton's Michael Dye (12th) and Will Siroky (14th) are averaging just below 1.2 blocks per set. Lewis' Yiwei Zhou is 17th nationally with 1.14 blocks per set, though he recorded eight in the win at George Mason.
On Saturday, Princeton takes on the Highlanders in a return to league play. On Feb. 15, the Tigers held off NJIT in a tight fifth set for a 15-13 victory. Schwagler had 24 kills and six blocks in the win, while junior setter Davis Waddell added 55 assists for the Tigers. Waddell has moved to fourth in the EIVA in assists; more importantly, though, is the fact that Princeton has moved to second in league play in attack percentage (.280).

Great report by Steve Gelsi of Marketwarch.
Source: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/compact-fluorescent-bulbs-hit-a-wall-leds-beckon?dist=msr_1
By Steve Gelsi, MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- With sales of pricy compact fluorescent bulbs
slowed to a stop by the recession, the lighting industry is sharpening
its focus on light emitting diodes in the hope this next-generation
technology can rev up sales.
While the cost of a compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb has fallen as
low as $2.50 each in multi-packs, old fashioned light bulbs sell for 40
cents apiece, helping the older incandescent technology maintain its
Major bulb makers GE
, Siemens AG
and Philips gathering at the Lightfair International show this week in
New York City looked toward the next generation of light emitting
diodes (LEDs) as the next big thing in modern illumination.
While CFL sales now comprise a big chunk of the industry -- 20% or more
at some companies -- the business has edged lower over the past 12
MarketWatch's Steve Gelsi reports from the 2009 Lightfair International
conference, where offering more illumination for less power and less
money is now the name of the game. He discusses compact florescent
lamps, or CFLs, with actor and activist Ed Begley Jr. and light
emitting diodes, or LEDs, with Ostram Sylvania CEO Charles Jerabek.
"It's a problem all of industry has right now
because times are pretty tough and the economy isn't growing," said
Charles Jerabek, CEO of Osram Sylvania, a unit of Siemens. "It just
puts a further challenge on us."
Light makers are showing off a growing stable of LED lights. With New
York City and other major urban areas already using LEDs in traffic
lights, the industry hopes to add to its success with street lights.
LEDs last much longer than CFLs and contain no mercury, a setback faced by compact fluorescent light bulbs.
Actor Ed Begley Jr., a speaker at Lightfair International and a
well-known green power advocate in the entertainment industry, argued
that CFLs help cut harmful emissions from coal-fired electricity plants
by saving power, even though they contain some toxic materials.
"You're better to buy the (CFL) bulb even with that miniscule amount of
mercury -- about the same as in a couple of cans of tuna -- and then
recycle it at Ikea or Home Depot," Begley said. "If you don't buy the
bulb you're putting more mercury into the air where you can't reclaim
Begley also championed the use of longer-lasting LED lighting now being
deployed in the motion picture and TV industries as a way for studios
to cut down on electricity bills and the expensive labor costs of
changing bulbs.
Sylvania just introduced its first direct LED competitor to the 40-watt
light bulb. The LED bulb uses 8 watts of power to produce about the
same amount of light as a 40-watt bulb. The LED bulb's expected life of
25,000 hours amounts to eight times the life of a conventional light
bulb. However, at a current cost of $50 each, the new bulb isn't quite
ready for prime time.
Industry mavens hope to bring the cost down over time as they move past
the less efficient incandescent bulb, which inadvertently turns most of
the energy powering it into heat instead of light.
For this reason and others, Congress in 2007 approved a phase-out of incandescent bulbs starting with the 40-watt bulb in 2012.
Begley, who owns an electric car that he uses solar cells to recharge,
said LED light bulbs could eventually take their place as the next big
thing to save energy cheaply.
"I was a broke, struggling actor in 1970 -- I did the cheap and easy
stuff that was available" to be green, he said. "There's many more
choices today. CFLs are affordable to anyone today. You'll save money
right away with energy-saving thermostats, weather stripping around
your doors and windows."
Meanwhile, the trade group NEMA is expected to release its
first-quarter survey of CFL sales next week. In the fourth quarter of
2008, the incandescent share of household lamp sales increased slightly
to 77.5%, as consumers eschewed costlier CFLs.

Many people today are looking to save money on their energy costs and one of the biggest marketing campaigns to entice consumers into the "green energy movement" is the use of Compact Fluorescent Bulbs (CFLs). Although these bulb types are in fact more efficient, what the movement fails to mention are the esthetic downsides of using them. The biggest downside that comes to mind is the dimming factor. Even though the technology does allow for dimming, the CFLs dimming capacity compared to the traditional incandescent bulbs doesn't come close. In some applications dimming is better than others, however it normally requires especial pricey components to accompany the CFL. The fact of the matter is that the CFL technology is not quite ready to force the incandescent bulb out of the market, but in the near future there is definitely a brighter outlook.
The article below further explains the details of the current technology and it's affects in the market place and the environment.
Why Efficient Light Bulbs Fail to Thrive By Leora Broydo Vestel
Reader response to two recent Green Inc. posts
made it very clear that while compact fluorescent light bulbs are
undeniably more efficient, many consumers find them less than
Affirmation of this dissatisfaction comes from an unlikely source: Michael Siminovitch, a self-described C.F.L. advocate and a professor and director of the California Lighting Technology Center at the University of California, Davis.
Mr Siminovitch said the technology exists to create C.F.L.s that are
comparable to incandescent bulbs. "They can be configured and made
today with great color," he said. "They can also be dimmed. They can
also be put together in such a way that they last for a very long
And yet, Mr. Siminovitch said, many manufacturers have been cutting
corners and putting C.F.L.s of lesser quality on the market, skewing
consumers' perception of the technology.
Green Inc. recently chatted with Mr. Siminovitch about light bulb
performance and efficiency, consumer expectations and "Super C.F.L.s,"
among other things. Excerpts follow:
Green Inc. readers have expressed frustration about the quality of
compact fluorescents following recent postings. Do you think their
criticisms are legitimate?
I think we're actually seeing heightened awareness of these
problems and issues. People are interested in engaging in the energy
efficiency equation, [and] what's happening is that they're bumping
their heads against this now. They're saying that, hey, this stuff is
falling short.
How are they falling short?
A consumer buys a light source to look good and to provide quality
lighting inside a space. They don't normally go to a store to buy a
light source to save energy.
Incandescent light sources typically are very flattering in terms of
rendering skin and enhancing how we look. Consumers got used to a very
high level of color quality in the home. Compact fluorescents can be
some departure or produce less color quality in terms of rendering
color inside a space.
"Certainly we're asking consumers to do a lot more than they used to do."
— Michael Siminovitch
Some fluorescents are very good, but many are not. I think what
we're seeing today is we're starting to bump up against our
expectations for color quality in the home not being met by the energy
efficient technologies. So consumers are dissatisfied — and rightfully
The next big [issue] is dimming. Many fluorescents that are
available do not dim well. Incandescent lamps dim very nicely. They dim
all the way from 100 percent light all the way to 0 percent light. They
do it very smoothly and very predictably. Consumers are used to that
kind of smooth dimming.
Typically when you dim a compact fluorescent it can flicker, it can
buzz, it can create all kinds of what I call "unintended consequences"
that disturb the consumer. So the consumer is left with a
less-than-satisfied level with this kind of technology.
The third big one is product longevity. Consumers have an
expectation that compact fluorescents will last a very long time —
significantly longer than the incandescents that they're replacing.
This is technically achievable. Compact fluorescents can last a very
long time. Unfortunately, I think we've compromised greatly on quality
with many compact fluorescents and these things are not lasting quite
as long as consumers have been led to believe. This is an issue.
How did we end up with such a low-quality product?
Early compact fluorescents came into the marketplace as a …
technology that's small, very compact and can fit in places where we
traditionally put incandescent lamps, and it has the opportunity for
great color, long life and all the kinds of attributes we'd like to see
in a light source. But it was expensive. It was an order of magnitude
more expensive than what we were traditionally using.
So there was great pressure by agencies, by retailers, to bring the
cost down on this technology so that we can get big market penetration.
Unfortunately, given the lack of really good, understandable
specifications, what happened was when you reduce price you inevitably
compromise something. In the case of compact fluorescents, we've
compromised on quality.
By and large the average consumer is buying a light source to
provide the right quality of light. In this continuing trend to reduce
cost, which is an important driver, we compromised quality.
We've gone too far on this thing, and what's happened is some of
these compact fluorescent technologies have become so inexpensive
[that] at the same time they've lost a lot of their intrinsic quality.
And they don't last very long. And this is bad because the end result
here is that yes, we have a very inexpensive technology, consumers will
buy it, but they have a long memory.
Product failures instill a lack of confidence in the technology.
What needs to happen to change this light bulb?
When we only encourage energy efficiency, which is very important,
we compromise other issues. The market penetration for compact
fluorescents in this country, while we're making good strides, is not
very impressive. There's no reason today why we shouldn't be using all
energy efficient technologies in the home. The reason we're not is
consumers don't like this technology.
We need to get past that. We need to develop a lighting technology
that people really like. They like the color, they like the quality,
they like the delivery, and, by the way, it's energy efficient. …
We need to encourage the industry to do that. The industry is in a
very good position to do this. Once we have the education of what we
need in the home, the industry can come in and make it.
But consumers are already complaining about the cost of compact
fluorescents compared to incandescents. Isn't increasing quality going
to make the price of compact fluorescents go up?
Prices are coming down significantly for this technology, but as I
said, there is corresponding reduction in quality. With a tighter
specification that speaks to quality issues I think eventually we would
see both a maintenance or increase in quality, as well as reduced costs
with increased volume.
The main issue here is that there is not a level playing field, and
that high quality products tend to be penalized in the marketplace
because of the demand for low-cost. If we define a level playing field,
then the economies of scale can be applied equally, and we maintain
quality while reducing cost.
What can consumers do today to get the highest quality compact fluorescent?
A consumer should do the best job they can to educate themselves on
what kinds of light sources are available for the home. And certainly
we're asking consumers to do a lot more than they used to do. If you
would go into any hardware store and buy an incandescent lamp they're
all virtually exactly the same. That's the strength of that technology.
They all look the same, they all work the same and they all have great
color. The only problem with them is they're very inefficient.
Moving to compact fluorescent technology is going to require a
consumer to become more educated. I think they need to be guided by the
kinds of product information that's available now. Now, the information
that's available now is still not adequate, but it's better than it
was. I look at things like Energy Star. Energy Star is a sorting process where you can see that there's some minimum standard that these lamps will achieve.
What we're looking at down the road is a better specification as we
get more knowledge to say here's a light source that really, really
works well, sort of an Energy Star plus. I think that's going to come.
What about California's "Super C.F.L." effort?
Here in California there's a broad collaborative with the utilities
to look at next-generation specifications for high-performance compact
fluorescents for the home. Also, I think that we're going to see a big
drive down the road with L.E.D., light-emitting diode technology.
But if I look at the near-term horizon, the next one to four years,
the bulk of the energy savings that we're going to get in this country
in the lighting arena for residential is going to be compact
fluorescents. L.E.D.s are going to follow very quickly, I think that's
going to be another next-big opportunity for us for both energy
efficiency and also product amenity.
Compact fluorescent is very close to being a big opportunity to save
a lot of energy. By and large there's going to be a fairly massive
market transformation as we convert from incandescent technology to
high-efficiency technologies. This is going to require a rapid movement
up the learning curve both from consumers and also from manufacturers
and their ability to provide the kinds of technologies that consumers

The UK government still seems unsure as to whether it's a good idea to punish those accused of illegal downloading by cutting off Internet access for entire households, saying it wants to "support" the music industry. But now it seems a coalition of the actual British musicians, songwriters and producers behind the music don't want "support" of this kind, and view this sort of draconian policy as "extraordinarily negative."
Thankfully, there are some people in the UK who think this sort of draconian policy is a terrible idea, and are taking a stand against it — namely, the British music community.
The Guardian reports:
Before legislation becomes law in France, it must pass the muster of the Conseil Constitutionnel: a group of jurists who determine whether each new law is consistent with the principles and rules of France's constitution.
For the passage of Sarkozy's unpopular "three strikes" HADOPI legislation, the approval of the Conseil was the final hurdle to cross. If the council had approved the law, rightsholders in France would have been able to cast French citizens off the Internet with no judicial oversight, simply by alleging to the new HADOPI administrative body that they were repeat copyright infringers. These citizens would then have their names added to a national Internet blacklist for up to a year, and ISPs would be subject to financial penalties if they gave these exiles access to the Internet.
For decades, recording artists have lived in fear of their albums ending up in limbo if a record label refused to release it. But no more? Danger Mouse, who broke into the public consciousness with his remarkable Grey Album remixing Jay-Z and The Beatles and went on to form Gnarls Barkley, is apparently counting on the fact that it's the fans, not record labels like EMI, who have the upper hand in the digital age.
Danger Mouse has been working on a collection called "Dark Night of the Soul." Apparently, relations with EMI on the project have broken down, resulting in Danger Mouse issuing this statement:
Two more interesting applications have been blocked by Apple in its quixotic quest to police what users can think and do while using their iPhones.
First, we have Me So Holy, an iPhone app that takes a snapshot of the user and cleverly pastes it over the faces of holy religious figures such as Jesus Christ and the Dalai Lama. Well, it appears that Apple would prefer iPhone users to be a bit more pious — they've blocked the application from the iPhone app store as "objectionable."
Blasphemy, however, has been around for a few centuries, and even Steve Jobs is unlikely to have more success eradicating it than past inquisitors. P2P filesharing, on the other hand, is a relatively new idea, and from the perspective of Mr. Jobs and company, even more dangerous and heretical.
The L.A. Times Technology Blog hits the nail on the head, responding to news that the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has sent out letters asking for help investigating security breaches caused when government employees and contractors who use P2P software accidentally share information on networks like Lime Wire.

Fire crews battle blaze near Daytona apartment complex again
Officials not sure if fires are related
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 2:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 9:11 p.m.
Local fire crews battled a six-acre brush fire Thursday afternoon near Integra Shores, but they don't know if it's related to last week's blaze near the same apartment complex close to Clyde Morris Boulevard and Strickland Range Road.
Daytona Beach Fire Department spokesman Lt. Larry Stoney said crews from Daytona, Ormond Beach and Volusia County worked that general area, and Florida Forestry Service helped cut fire lines to contain the blaze.
Stoney said Thursday's fire was about a quarter-mile north of last Friday's fire.
Residents were urged to stay away from the area and find alternate routes as visibility in the area was poor. Residents were also asked to not call 9-1-1 unless they saw active flames or heavy black smoke.
Fire crews do not yet know how Thursday's fire started, Stoney said.
In an interview about last week's fire, Stoney said it might have been started by transients who attempted to put it out but did not do so properly, but the fire's official cause has not yet been determined.

As the creator of Money's "Best Places to Live in America" franchise back in the '80s and now editor of the Money & Security and Work & Purpose channels at Next Avenue, my ears perk up whenever I hear there's a new "Best Places" list, especially one that focuses on retirement locales.
The latest ranking is called Best Cities for Successful Aging and I think you should check it out, although I have one reservation about it, as you'll see.
How The Cities Were Ranked
Best Cities for Successful Aging, from the Milken Institute, a nonpartisan think tank based in Santa Monica, Calif., looked for "safe, affordable, engaging and connected" communities for people 65 and older that offer "quality health care and an active lifestyle with ready access to transportation, education, employment and recreation."
Who wouldn't want to live in a place like that — at any age?
To find the winners, the researchers gathered data to compare the 100 biggest U.S. "metropolitan statistical areas" and the 259 next biggest locales, which Milken calls "small metros."

ZF-2293: Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Sqlite::describeTable() bugs
if you've a varchar(50) field in a table, describeTable() method will return that the field type is "varchar(50)" instead of "varchar" width length = 50
in the code i can see some "@todo" comments but this task is very simple to complete because you can simply copy the code of the mysql adapter
what about this issue?
Care to contribute a patch? :)
if you lool at the same function for pdo_mysql you'll find that with a 5 min cut/paste this bug will be fixed
Resolved for 1.5.0 RC1 with SVN r7686.
Resolved for 1.0.4 with SVN r7687.
hi and thank for the fix but this is only partial, cause it doesn't care about
'SCALE' => null, // @todo 'PRECISION' => null, // @todo 'UNSIGNED' => null, // @todo
ok reading the sqlite3 documentation it seems that it doesn't have unsigned data thus the "unsigned" index of the describetable could remain NULL
i created a patch to solve the problems above, it's been created agains r7686 do you think it could be added soon?
225,227c225 < list($length, $scale, $precision, $unsigned, $primary, $primaryPosition, $identity) < = array(null, null, null, null, false, null, false);
list($length, $primary, $primaryPosition, $identity) = array(null, false, null, false);
231,234d228 < } else if (preg_match('/^decimal((\d+),(\d+))/i', $row[$type], $matches)) { < $row[$type] = 'DECIMAL'; < $precision = $matches[1]; < $scale = $matches[2]; 254,256c248,250 < 'SCALE' => $scale, < 'PRECISION' => $precision,
< 'UNSIGNED' => $unsigned,
'SCALE' => null, // @todo 'PRECISION' => null, // @todo 'UNSIGNED' => null, // @todo
attaching the patch as a file: diff Sqlite.php Sqlite.php.old
Reopening issue
Unfortunately, I cannot use your patch until you have signed a Contributor License Agreement, but I think I can figure it out independently. Once you've signed the CLA, you can work on just about anything you like! Please consider it. :)
i didn't know about the CLA, i'll do that but it you can take a look at the patch cause anyway it's really simple
Please check out SVN r7728, and let me know if this resolves the issue for you. Thanks! :)
ok thank you, seems to work fine! :-) i think you can close the bug
Excellent! I'll mark this as fixed for the next minor release until I merge the changes over to the release-1.0 branch, so they can be in the upcoming 1.0.4 release, too. :)
Fixed for 1.0.4 with SVN 7730.

La Monnaie ¦ MM Extra ¦ Heritage Days Brussels ¦ Intro
Heritage Days Brussels
Guided tours
La Monnaie is not only a key theatre at a European level, it's also an extraordinary academy for theatre professions. In 2000, the new costume workshops and assembly room, as well as the rehearsal rooms, were inaugurated in a building behind the theatre. The artists and artisans who work here produce the scenery, costumes, shoes, wigs, etc. for each new production.
To mark the Heritage Days 2013, La Monnaie is opening the doors of its workshops for three exceptional tours to discover the assembly room and the costume workshops. Follow the guides and discover how the workshops help to create the theatrical illusion in all its forms. You can also discover a model of a baroque theatre with a proscenium in the museum space.
Saturday 14 September from 10am to 6pm.

The Stuttgart City Council did not approve a request to send two employees to the Louisiana Mosquito Control Association meeting in December.
"Since they are over budget I make a motion to only send Daniel (Masingale, director of the Office of Mosquito Control in Stuttgart)," Stuttgart City Council member Ruth Ann Trice said during Tuesday's meeting.
The remaining council members unanimously accepted this motion.
According to Masingale, this annual meeting is the same training meeting the department attends every year. This would have been the first training session for Tashema Ferrell, who was recently hired in the mosquito department.
"We attend this meeting every year for training, education and to discuss current mosquito control practices in use throughout our industry," Masingale said in a letter to the Council.
The training and travel expense was already approved through the 2012 budget. But after a late blast of mosquitoes into Stuttgart an extra tote of chemical had to be purchased, which cost the department an extra $21,000, causing the department as a whole to be over budget.
But according to Jane Jackson, with the finance department, the department had $1,500 in its travel budget with $650 used and $845 left to spend on the travel and lodging arrangements for the trip.
"If that is where they get their training we might have to rethink that," Stuttgart Mayor Marianne Maynard said. "We can do that in November."
The Louisiana Mosquito Control Association meeting will be held Dec. 3 through Dec. 7 in Lafayette.
Masingale was unavailable for comment because he is out of the office until Monday due to an illness.

A 30-year-old woman who attended a party at a Dover hotel Saturday night was raped early Sunday morning at that hotel by an acquaintance who had attended the same party, police said.
The victim and several friends rented a room at the Dover hotel on the 5000 block of South DuPont Highway Saturday for a small party, Dover Police Lt. Alan Rachko said. One female witness invited several friends to the room, which included the suspect, he said.
Sometime during the early hours on Sunday the victim went into her room and fell asleep as several guests remained in the other room, Rachko said. At approximately 6 a.m. Sunday, the victim awoke to find the suspect, John Courtney, having sexual intercourse with her without her consent.
The victim kicked the defendant off her as she realized what was happening and ran into the bathroom with her clothes that he removed, Rachko said. The victim then began screaming and the defendant fled on foot.
Dover Police officers located the defendant a short distance from the hotel and arrested him. Courtney, 26, of Dover, was charged with second-degree rape and committed to James Vaughn Correctional Center in lieu of $25,000 secured bond.
