The Sensibulb's LED crystals are mounted in a patented heat sink.

Ordinary LED lights aren't the miracle light some developers had promised. Yes, they're amp misers, and well-made bulbs (actually clusters of LEDs) should last many thousands of hours, but the harsh light lacks the warmth of incandescent. These cluster LEDs make excellent courtesy lights. They also work for reading, so long as you keep the page close under the tightly focused beam. Try mounting one above a saloon table and you may as well be dining under a flashlight.

At the Miami Boat Show, we came across an LED light like no other we'd seen. The Sensibulb, made by Sailor's Solution, incorporates LEDs that produce a consistent, warm, golden light, that, although not quite as intense as a 10-watt halogen bulb, will make a much more suitable replacement bulb for common bell-type or dome interior lights than the usual LED cluster.

We replaced a common halogen dome light in the V-berth of our test boats with the Sensibulb, and noticed that although the berth was not quite as bright as it was with the halogen bulb, the softer Sensibulb produced ample light to illuminate the berth. We could easily read Practical Sailor (strangely, there was no paper glare), even when we were 10 feet away and at an angle of about 90 degrees from the light's center. The light, which incorporates a heat sink, was warm, but produced far less heat than the halogen bulb. The light is dimmable, which drastically cuts the amp usage. We measured .18 amps (as opposed to 1.5 amps for our halogen bulb) undimmed, and dimmed down to candle-light, it drew just .03 amps.

The basic Sensibulb costs $40 and fits a standard G-4 halogen socket, or, with an adaptor ($2), a bayonet socket. For bell-type reading lights, you'll need a mounting bracket ($4). Installation is simple: Fit the Sensibulb's two wire terminals in where the G-4 bulb's barbs went (polarity doesn't matter), stick the Sensibulb in place with its adhesive backing strip, and flip the switch. Wires for a dimmer are built in, and for an additional $20 you can add a micro-controller to add dimming capability to a light that doesn't have it.

Two kinds of reading lights and a two-color nav station light bulbs and fixture are available for between $130-$140. If you really want to get fancy, you can wire in a $40 wireless controller, which can be used to operate just about any device on the boat from about 75 feet away. (Wish we had one of these when we wired a switch at the companionway for our spreader lights.)

The makers say the Sensibulb will last 50,000 hours. If we're still around when ours burns out, we'll let you know.

'Expensibulb' would be more appropriate.
I have 12 of these bulbs onboard. When I'm on the hook I leave most of them on. Not afraid of the dark but high powered drunk stinkpotters running with no lights for excitement. 12 bulbs burning 2.8 amp draw.
I should at least get a Tee shirt....
Fair Winds,
I am considering changing all the lighting to LED. I have three questions:
1) Is the "colour" markedly different (e.g. I prefer incadescent's warm yellow to neon's cold blue) What about these LED's?
2) Are they bright enough to replace reading lights, cabin lights etc.?
3) Is the power consumption really that much less if you have a signicant LED array to make it useable?
For example, most of us have a neon in the galley and in the main cabin. the other areas will vary. Have you replaced these with LEDs as well?
LED's don't be Mis-led
Leds are quite attractive from an energy management standpoint. What they do well is deliver a high intensity focused beam with very low power draw. So they can light up a navagational fixture, create a spot beam for reading, but they do not provide very good area lighting. One measure of light output is a lumen. LED lights are much lower in lumens per watt than flourescent bulbs. To get the most interior area lighting per watt look to flourescents. There is a new technology cold cathode ray tube technology that promises even better results but I have not located a viable source yet. So for me it's interior general lighting - flourescent, task/reading - LED, and Nav - LED. Good flourescents can be purchased from Alpenglowlights.com even with a led night time option.
Good luck with your studies.
I can answer your questions for you as I have been trying different kinds of LED lighting on Quietly for the past three years.
First, don't confuse todays LED's with those of even a year ago! Huge improvements have been made. Your questions:
1. The color of the light produced by the SensiBulbs is very "warm." It reminds me of the light that comes from a kerosene lanturn.
2. We have several (11) SensiBulb's on our boat having replaced all of our dome lighting with them. We used two SensiBulbs in each fixture in the salon, and one in all the other dome lights. We are very pleased with the results. We find that we can turn on as many lights as we want in the evenings and still draw less power than one of our old lights. This has made living aboard much more like home.
However, I would not recommend the SensiBulb LED's as replacements for your reading lights. The SensiBulb LED are a little too warm!
Instead, we found Magnum Ring lights from DR LED (http://www.doctorled.com/p2.htm) that make wonderful reading lights. They are bright and more like a standard incondecent light in color. We use two sizes of the lights from Dr.Led. For reading lights in our bunks, we use the MR11 lights in both the Bayonett and G4 mountings as required by our fixtures. In the salon we used the MR16 lights to go in our larger reading light fixtures providing more light for the larger area. We like these light so much that we installed six of them under the cabinets in our galley. Four might have been good, but we wanted lots of light when working in the galley. Just like home!
3. All together we have 11 SensiBulb overhead lights, four MR11 readings lights for the bunks, three MR16 reading lights in the salon and six MR16 light for the galley. We also have an LED Tri-Color/Anchor Light and LED Running Lights. The only incondecent lights on the boat are the spreader lights.
We are very please and our typical energy consumption in the evenings is now only 2.9 Amps with the boat as bright as back home!
Doing this was not inexpensive. However we use far less electricity and our home is bright and inviting in the evenings.

New on Blu-ray: The Twilight Zone Season 5
The final season of Rod Serling's seminal series is packed with pristine high-definition picture, remastered sound and vintage extras.
Creator: Rod Serling MPAA Rating: Not Rated Studio: Image Entertainment
Some movies and TV shows are slapped on Blu-ray just to cash in on the latest format and offer little appreciable difference from the DVD versions. One glaring exception is The Twilight Zone, which Image Entertainment has been releasing over the past year on Blu-ray for the first time. Each of the four seasons currently out there features a pristine high-definition picture, remastered sound on every episode and all the vintage extras one could hope for in this or any other plane of existence.
Image Entertainment finishes off its collection that helped generations "enter another dimension" with all 36 episodes of The Twilight Zone: Season 5, the final season of Rod Serling's seminal series. After trying out an hour-long format in Season 4, Serling wisely switched back to the leaner, faster-paced 30-minute episodes that proved more popular for the first three seasons. Everything about the original show is kept intact, from the CBS station-identification breaks to Serling's previews of the next episode at the end of each show.
One of the best episodes in Season 5 is "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," which is directed by Richard Donner and stars William Shatner as a man recovering from a nervous breakdown who keeps seeing a gremlin on the wing of the passenger jet he is onboard. The episode was later reworked for Twilight Zone: The Movie in 1983. Other Season 5 standouts include Jack Klugman as an alcoholic who wishes he was a better father to his son in "In Praise of Pip," the android boxers of "Steel," Telly Savalas in the Child's Play-inspiring "Living Doll," and the killer car of "You Drive."
Not all of the episodes resonate equally, but for the most part Serling finishes off his landmark series on a high note. Whether he took us to outer space or another time or an alternate reality, Serling remained an integral part of The Twilight Zone—"a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas"—until he crossed over into other dimensions with new projects at the end of this stellar season.
Best extras: This Blu-ray debut has 20 new audio commentaries, conversations with Rod Serling, a vintage audio interview with director of photography George T. Clemens, "George Clayton Johnson's Home Movies," additional sponsor billboards and 22 radio dramas featuring the voices of Adam West, Kate Jackson, Jane Seymour, Luke Perry, Karen Black and many more.

Microphone array shape calibration in diffuse noise fields
McCowan, Iain, Lincoln, Mike, & Himawan, Ivan (2008) Microphone array shape calibration in diffuse noise fields. IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing, 16(3), pp. 666-670.
This correspondence presents a microphone array shape calibration procedure for diffuse noise environments. The procedure estimates intermicrophone distances by fitting the measured noise coherence with its theoretical model and then estimates the array geometry using classical multidimensional scaling. The technique is validated on noise recordings from two office environments.

I'm looking into making a light weight wallet, so here's the question what is the most durable YET light weight material for this project. And cost really isn't that big of an issue at the moment.Jan 24, 2010 at 8:07 am #1565771

Wallets are made of leather for a reason: it's very durable. A good leather wallet can last for decades of daily abuse.
For occasional use hiking, or traveling, however, I've made a silnylon wallet and am quite happy. It's almost waterproof, weighs next to nothing, and helps me keep organized when I commute to other countries (something I do weekly). Making it myself allowed me to custom size it for exactly what I need, which was determined by the size of my passport. It's not the most durable, but the slickness actually helps it out quite a bit. I don't expect it to last forever, but it only took about an hour to make.
If it's only for hiking, well, anything will do. A rubber band around your cards and cash is about as light as it gets.Jan 24, 2010 at 8:35 am #1565781

I made mine of scraps from a tarp project.
It's water resistant, and doesn't sog-up with body sweat when I wear it in a money belt. But forget about waterproofing it, there are to many seems in too small a place. Plus putting sealer on it would be like putting grip strips on a slide.
Forget waterproofing if its for backpacking; all currency is made of very high-quality, basically water resistant paper. It may absorb some water, but otherwise it will remain perfectly fine. If you insist, a sandwich bag (or if you're obsessive, and alosak) will work just fine.Jan 24, 2010 at 12:52 pm #1565837
> my bills, drivers license, and maybe a credit card or two, that's kind of waterproof.
AFAIK bills, credit cards and drivers licences are all made of plastic these days. You don't need 'waterproof'. A simple silnylon bag slightly larger than the CC is enough. That's what I use, anyhow.

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010
The Hudson Valley Community College hockey team defeated the RPI Club team, 7-3, on Saturday, Jan. 30.
Scoring was back-and-forth between the two teams within the first two periods. The Engineers got on the board first in the contest and the Vikings answered before the end of the first period with a goal by David Gordon (St. Mary's, Lynnfield, MA). In the second, RPI scored another goal to take the lead but was answered by Gordon's second goal of the night. The third period started out much the same as the previous two with RPI taking a one goal lead with 18:40 left. Gordon got in on Hudson Valley's equalizer again, this time as an assist man as he set up Jim Sheeran (Hoosic Valley, Schaghticoke). Tied 3-3, the Vikings took over and scored four unanswered goals, including Gordon's third, making the final score 7-3.
Other goals were scored by Austin Reider (Rocky Mount, Fort Collins CO), James Collins (Saratoga Springs, Middle Grove) and Brendan Costin (Lynnfield, Lynnfield, MA).

This is one of the nicest parks we have stayed in. The owners were friendly and my kids enjoyed the life-size chess game, putting green, and ladderball game. The barbecue was good and fairly priced and they even had entertainment. Extremely clean and well worth the money to stay.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This was our first stay at a KOA and I must say it was a very nice one. The front office people were very friendly. They had just baked a pineapple upside down cake and it was delicious. The sites were clean and very shaded and the pool was refreshing. I would highly recommend this park.

So i got my holster from Adam's Holsters. It looks awesome, amazing retention, very comfortable... all around GREAT!! I used a cheap nylon single clip IWB holster before i got this and the difference is night and day. With my new leather IWB holster I sometimes have to check to make sure i am wearing it because its so comfortable. Luke was a pleasure to deal with, he ran ideas by me and kept me in the loop as to what was going on, always replied to my emails within 24 hrs. But the most important thing is that my holster is great. i reccomend Adam's Holsters to anyone looking to purchase a well priced, quality holster.

College students from around the country will be crossing their eyes and dotting their tees at the 11th annual national Rube Goldberg Machine Contest on April 10.
The event honors the late cartoonist Rube Goldberg, who drew whimsical machines with complex mechanisms to perform simple tasks. Each year, college students are challenged to build actual functioning machines that Goldberg might have drawn. The task for 1999 is to tee up a golf ball. Previous contests have asked students to make a cup of coffee, put a stamp on an envelope and load a compact disc into a CD player and play it -- in 20 or more steps. The 1998 national competition drew teams from Texas, New York, Tennessee, Indiana and Wisconsin.
The contest, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 11 a.m. in Elliott Hall of Music on Purdue's West Lafayette campus.
Students will build their machines by combining the principles of physics and engineering with common objects such as ball bearings, mouse traps, wooden dowels, motorized toy vehicles, funnels and yards of duct tape. Each machine must run, be reset and run again in nine minutes. Points are deducted if students have to assist the machine once it's started. The teams also will be judged on the creative use of materials and use of related themes.
In addition to cash prizes for the top three teams, a "People's Choice" award will be given to the team whose machine gets the most votes from audience members.
The contest is organized by members of the Purdue chapter of Theta Tau, an engineering fraternity, with support from industrial sponsor BP Amoco. Contests for Purdue students were held from 1949 to 1955, and the fraternity revived the idea in 1983 to celebrate National Engineers' Week. The first national contest was held in 1988.
Purdue's entry was chosen in February at a local contest. The winning machine, built by the Purdue student chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, is based on the theme "Wide World of Sports" and includes a miniature downhill skier crashing in a spectacular fashion reminiscent of the opening of the ABC Sports program of the same name. It uses 55 complex steps and a variety of sporting goods to tee up the golf ball.
Last year's national contest was won by a team from the University of Texas at Austin, whose contraption used 40 mechanical, chemical and electrical steps to turn off an alarm clock.

text: This seminar summarizes work from a forthcoming Energy Policy paper and thoughts on future work to understand the economics of DC building circuits. We examined the economic feasibility of a general application of DC building circuits to operate commercial lighting systems. We compare light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and fluorescents that are powered by either a central DC power supply or traditional AC grid electricity, with and without solar photovoltaics (PV) and battery back-up. We find that there are limited life-cycle ownership cost and capital cost benefits of DC circuits for this application, when considering capital, wiring, energy, installation, and maintenance costs, unless used in buildings powered by grid-connected solar PV or using batteries. In the PV-powered case, building owners could save 4-21% on capital costs and 2-21% on levelized annual costs of LED lighting systems in 2012. Even when used with solar PV, the cost savings with DC building circuits will decline over time, given the large cost share and faster cost reductions expected for solar PV and LEDs vs. the small cost share and lower cost reductions expected for the power electronics for the system. Further work is needed to better understand the cost and efficiency trajectories of AC vs. DC power electronics, the potential safety risks with DC distribution, and to remove design, installation, permitting, and regulatory barriers.

Carver doesn't support Sorrell environmental lawsuit decision
10/04/06 12:00AM By Bob Kinzel
(Host) Republican Attorney General Candidate Dennis Carver says he doesn't support incumbent Democrat Bill Sorrell's decision to file a number of environmental lawsuits against the federal government.
Speaking last night during VPR's Attorney General debate, Carver said it's a waste of money for the state of Vermont to challenge the federal Environmental Protection Agency over efforts to regulate carbon dioxide emissions to help fight global warming.
Carver says he wouldn't pursue the case because the science on global warming is still being debated.
(Carver) "We have a total budget and we can only do so many things. There are several others involved in that lawsuit. I really don't believe that Vermont needs to be one of the contributors. We could better use those resources for Medicaid fraud as an example problems directly related to Vermont. Let the other states carry the weight on this one."
(Host) Sorrell strongly disagreed with Carver's assessment about the threat of global warming and he said it's important for Vermont to be part of this lawsuit. It's a case that will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court this term.
(Sorrell) "Vermont, Massachusetts and a number of other states have filed this suit against the EPA saying do your job. If you look at global warming, you see what an environmental disaster is on the immediate horizon and carbon dioxide is the cause, and you should be regulating carbon dioxide emissions."
(Host) Sorrell says he's proud of the environmental agenda that he's pursued as Attorney General and he says he's willing to go to the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary, to block International Paper from conducting a 2-week test burn of tires at their Ticonderoga, New York plant.

Sweet, Jessica Van Sack and Mike Underwood Monday, August 6, 2007 - Updated: 02:42 AM EST A reputed drug addict charged with murdering his 7-year-old cousin begged Quincy and Weymouth cops to kill him right before they found Joanna Mullin's bruised and battered body in the back seat of a stolen SUV he'd just crashed, a police source told the Herald. "Just kill me, just kill me. It's over, it's over," Ryan Bois, 20, bellowed yesterday morning after colliding with a cab at Quincy Avenue and East Howard Street near the Quincy Shipyard, the source said. Bois brandished a knife at the cops, police say, and he was bitten by a Weymouth police dog while he was being subdued. Bois, a 2004 graduate of Weymouth High School, was arrested yesterday in the murder of young Joanna Mullin. He is due to be arraigned this morning Quincy District Court. While doing an interior sweep of Bois' vehicle early yesterday morning, the source said horrified police found the little girl's body swaddled in bedding. Norfolk District Attorney William R. Keating said, "The evidence is clear that (there) was trauma, and it's clear that it's a homicide." The Herald reported yesterday that Bois took the child from their 64-year-old grandmother Arlene White's home on Randall Avenue in East Weymouth, where the little girl was sleeping over. Investigators found an aluminum ladder perched against the side of the house, leading to an open window on the second story. At the Mullin home yesterday, Joanna's uncle fought back tears. "We're still coming to terms with what's happened, and we'd just like to be left alone to grieve in private at this time," the uncle said, his lip quivering. It was unclear yesterday where and how Joanna was killed. An autopsy is scheduled for today, while Bois will be arraigned in Quincy District Court for murder. Joanna is the oldest child of plumber Jerome and Heather Mullin of Weymouth. She also leaves two brothers, aged 1 and 4, according to Maureen Tofani, who is Bois' mother and Heather Mullin's sister. "I'm devastated, completely devasted," Tofani, 42, of Framingham, told the Herald yesterday. Tofani said her son has long struggled with addiction, and when she could no longer deal with him, her sister Heather Mullin took Bois in. He was recently released from rehab for a heroin habit, Tofani said. A police source said Bois was known to have drug problems. "I could see him hurting himself," Tofani said, "but not (the Mullins') kids. He was really close to those kids." Tofani last spoke with her son Saturday, but said nothing in their conversation or his demeanor prepared her for the tragedy. "He was in a good mood. He was bubbly," she said. "He called me every day. I left him with the same message I always leave him with: 'Ryan, just stay away from drugs, stay away from drinking and get a job.' "You can only do so much for them," she said, "but the drugs and the drinking just ruined him. He'd say, 'I'm a loser,' but he chose to be a punk." White's neighbor, Linda Raneri, said Bois had a drug problem and was kicked out of his grandmother's home last year after police executed a warrant there. Neighbor Dan Cuerves told the Herald that White was asleep on her sun porch at the time Bois is suspected of breaking in. He said it was White's Ford Explorer Bois allegedly used as his getaway car. Bois was arrested last September on charges of robbing a convenience store, while claiming he had a gun. The disposition of that case was unclear yesterday. In 2005, he was charged with threatening to kill a man he robbed of $70 and cigarettes, charges that were later dismissed. http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=1015459&format=&page=1 Weymouth man arrested for murder of cousin: Police find girl's body in back seat of car By Laurel J.

Bertha man killed in rollover
WALKER — A 31-year-old Bertha man was killed Thursday after the Peterbuilt truck he was driving crossed over Highway 200, near Whipholt Beach on Leech Lake, and rolled into the ditch, reported the Minnesota State Patrol.
The man killed was Lance E. Mein.
The crash was reported at 1:46 a.m. and Mein was traveling east on Highway 200, when he crossed into the west-bound lane and rolled in the ditch.
The Cass County Sheriff's Office assisted the State Patrol on scene.

Patton Oswalt Reacts To Boston Marathon Attacks
Patton Oswalt, known for his comedy and role on TV's King Of Queens, took to social media after the Boston Marathon Bombings to express his serious side and offer inspiration.
Not allowing 140 characters to hold him back Oswalt first posted the words of Mr. Rogers on Twitter:
"Look for the helpers. You'll always find people who are helping." — Fred Rogers, on what to do when scary things are on the news #boston
— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) April 15, 2013
That hopeful message inspired many to reshare and retweet to help offer the same for others. Patton then expressed himself even further and refused to place blame on anyone person or group in a heartfelt posting that reflected his memories of 9/11 on Facebook:
Boston. F—ing horrible.
I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."
But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.
But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.
But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."
The above message from Facebook has seen over 181,000 shares, 242,000 likes, and 9,700 comments.

KAI RYSSDAL: Shares of General Motors rose more than 9 percent today. Analysts at Merrill Lynch apparently think the carmaker's a pretty good bet. GM's doing what it can to turn itself around. Recall last year's "employee discount for everyone." That proved to be one of the industry's most popular consumer incentives. Now, GM has a new idea. It's aimed at moving its bigger gas guzzlers off the lots. Some buyers in California and Florida will get rebates on their gas purchases. They'll essentially be paying $1.99 a gallon. Good idea? Marketplace's Bob Moon reports. You decide.
BOB MOON: The promotion runs through July 5th in California and Florida, states where GM wants to boost sales. Eligible models range from the giant Hummer to the GMC Yukon Chevy Tahoe SUVs, and midsize Chevy Impalas and the Pontiac Grand Prix.
Analyst Alex Rosten of the automotive Web site Edmunds.com says GM is directly addressing its biggest sales hurdle right now. But the irony is, the plan might just encourage those who burn the most gas.
ALEX ROSTEN: The way it works is that it covers gas expenses only for that first year. So if you're only planning to drive 8,000 or 10,000 miles, you won't reap the same benefits as if you're driving 25,000.
And the Sierra Club's Dan Becker says would-be buyers would be wise to think beyond the sales incentive:
DAN BECKER: After the first year, you're on your own, sucker. You're stuck with the gas costs.
Becker argues that encouraging gas consumption is irresponsible:
BECKER: The president is right, that America is addicted to oil. I've never heard of an addict giving up their addiction by getting someone else to subsidize their fix.
The automaker defends its program. GM's Deborah Silverman says the company doesn't get enough credit for topping many categories in miles per gallon:
DEBORAH SILVERMAN: Consumers don't realize that. So this program, we're hoping, will help inform consumers about the fact that General Motors, in many cases, does lead in terms of vehicle fuel economy — and also have a chance to get them into one of our great new vehicles.
Silverman says the automaker will see how successful the "gas cap" program is before deciding if it'll be expanded elsewhere.
In New York, I'm Bob Moon for Marketplace.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Karl Smith, a man who obviously has too much time on his hands, performs a massive core dump today of stuff he's been thinking about but hasn't had time to blog seriously about. One of them is the question of whether children should be allowed to vote:
Though this seems like a silly issue to a lot of people it's part and parcel of the whole: "are there a such thing as human rights" question.
People often appeal to the immature nature of children. But clearly there are mature children and immature adults. If you draw the dividing line at age then this is a line of convenience.
You can count me among the vast throng that thinks, in general, that this is a silly question. Kids can't vote for the same reason they can't do lots of things: because millions of years of human history informs us that children aren't capable of looking out for themselves. They need adult supervision. We make the same judgment toward others who are deemed unable to look after themselves — the mentally ill, elderly people suffering from dementia, etc. — so this is hardly something unique to children.
Still, at least Karl poses this question in a more interesting way. Using age as a dividing line for adulthood is indeed clean and simple, and for that reason it's convenient. But should kids be able to "test out" of childhood if they want? Maybe allow anyone over the age of 12 to apply for full citizenship and get it if they — what? Pass a test? Demonstrate maturity in some way? Rescue a dog from a burning house? And what about parents? Should they retain responsibility for kids who have been declared adults? Or could they kick their 14-year-old out of the house if they felt like it?
Or is this solely a voting question? That hardly seems worth the trouble, frankly. Maybe the whole 18-year-old thing really is convenient enough that we should just keep it.

I am always happy when people receive an opportunity to fulfill a dream. I've been fortunate to have worked in sports all my life - with the Milwaukee Brewers for 19 years and with CNI/NOW Newspapers & Websites the past 9.5 years.
So when Brian Karas got the Tosa East head baseball coach position, I will absolutely thrilled for the young man.
Karas is a talented kid, who knows a lot about pitching. In fact, he olds a couple records at St. Francis High School. He has worked with the Red Raiders program the past three years and has been a pitching coach the last five years and has coached baseball the past 11.
Principal Nick Hughes and AD Linda Vitrano stayed inside the program because they felt Karas not only has the ability to make the Red Raiders competitive, but that having someone who knows the players and has their trust was also important in the transition.
This is a program that used to be a baseball power, but has struggled the last five seasons.
Karas, 29, replaced Matt Dahlstrom, whose career record was 38-90, a .297 winning percentage, which included going 21-62, a .253 winning mark, in the rugged Greater Metro Conference. Dahlstrom resigned to spend more time with his family.
The Red Raiders best season the past five years was 2010, when they finished 7-13 in league play and 15-19 overall. This past season they were 5-18 in league play and 9-21 overall.
I want to point out that Dahlstrom was not the reason this program has struggled, so don't think by switching coaches everything will be wonderful. Last time I checked, Vitrano won't be signing any free agents or making any trades with the other conference schools to bring in some more talent.
Karas and his staff must work on improvement from within. Over half of their games last year the Red Raiders lost by 7-or-more runs. That has to stop.
The key word here is competitive. If that happens, winning will follow.
I would like to see the Tosa East program improve. And one of the main reasons is the personable Karas.
His dream has come true. I don't want it to turn into a nightmare. Karas and Tosa East deserve more.

House Party guests tour Detroit homes, party in new Cobo ballroom

Crain's Detroit House Party took a new approach this year, offering guests a chance to see several homes within individual Detroit neighborhoods. More than 250 people took part, then partied at the new Cobo Center ballroom afterward.

text: Adam Lambert confirmed what many had suspected when he told the South Florida Gay News that he and his boyfriend have been split for the past couple of months. Even though they have supposedly been together for the past two years, this to me has always been kind of shaky. I almost felt like he was using his Finnish boyfriend as a beard. Not so he could date a woman, but so he could hide who he was really seeing. I would even venture to say that for much of the time that he was "with" his Finnish boyfriend, he was actually with someone else. That relationship crashed and burned hard late last year when the other guy in that relationship would not come out and would not stand up to people in his life who told him he needed to stay in the closet. With that relationship over, there was no need to stay with the Finn and with the Finn wanting to go public with who he is dating, now was the time to announce it.

What are some examples of supervolcanoes?
Volcanoes that have produced exceedingly voluminous pyroclastic eruptions and formed large calderas in the past 2 million years include Yellowstone, Long Valley in eastern California, Toba in Indonesia, and Taupo in New Zealand. Other 'supervolcanoes' would likely include the large caldera volcanoes of Japan, Indonesia, Alaska (e.g. Aniakchak, Emmons, Fisher), and other areas.

School Closings: A Community Reacts
Map it: View locations of the schools targeted for closure or reconfiguration.
How the list was leaked
BOY: Is they closing down our school?
If you're wondering about the district's latest attempt to fix its struggling schools, you could ask the kids at Holmes.
GIRL: It's gonna be a 'turnaround school.'
GIRL2: But I was wondering, 'What IS a turnaround school.'
JORDAN: A turnaround school is when they fire all the staff, the janitors, the lunch ladies, the media teachers, the teachers, and the students.
The students won't be fired, but fourth-grader Jordan Overton is right about everyone else. When Jordan enters fifth grade in September, it's likely he won't know a single adult in the building.
Teacher Andrew Trujillo said he spent Monday like most other Holmes teachers—in shock. He said teachers and parents alike are worried about severing bonds with students who need more stability in their lives, not less.
TEACHER: Some of the kids have been with us two years…we get brothers and sisters. They know they're going to get us as a teacher and they're excited about it and we have a raport with the families. To find out that that's not enough to…it hurts. The bottom line is it just hurts a lot.
One parent described taking off work Monday morning when she heard that Holmes would be turned around. She said she cried on her way to the school and prayed it wasn't true that her children's teachers would be fired.
This is the district's sixth year shutting down or drastically reconfiguring schools it says aren't up to par. Holmes has shown some improvement over the past four years, but just over 40 percent of its students meet state standards in reading and math—that's about 25 points below the district average. Still, many parents and teachers said they see progress that doesn't show up on test scores. A new program has improved student behavior; kids seem to be reading earlier.
Trujillo teaches kindergarten in a community where kids arrive at school already behind their middle-class peers.
TRUJILLO: Small things, you know? You see a student that two weeks ago couldn't figure out that the word "cat" starts with C, and then two weeks later, they got it. And they're like, 'Cookie starts with C, Cake starts with C.'
As is the case at many struggling schools, Holmes has been through fix after fix. Thirty-one-year old Ashley Palmer attended Holmes and has two children at the school.
PALMER: Most of the teachers here just got here. That's the whole point of them hiring all these new teachers, to get the kids back on track. I don't believe they're giving them enough time to do this. I don't believe so.
In the past, CPS has hired an outside management firm to run its turn-around schools. Holmes is among a cluster of schools in and around Englewood targeted for turnaround. Another cluster lies further south, near Roseland. All the schools targeted on the tentative list for turnaround are predominantly black, and located in some of the city's poorest neighborhoods.
Chicago's dramatic approach won praise from President-elect Barack Obama last month when he tapped schools chief Arne Duncan to be the nation's next Education Secretary.
But many believe it's too early to tell whether the cure is helping or hurting the ailment. Sherman Elementary was "turned around" in 2006. Its scores are roughly on par with other schools in the neighborhood, including Holmes.
Julie Woestehoff is director of the parent group PURE. That's the group that leaked the list of schools to be closed.
WOESTEHOFF: The problem is that these schools are not getting the resources they need, they're not getting the support they need, and then the system turns around and labels them as failures, ruins peoples lives, takes away people's livelihoods, and replaces the school with a school that's pretty similar and not much better—if at all better—than the one that was there before. We don't think it's worth the disruption and the damage that it's causing.
A Chicago Public Schools spokesman said the district won't comment on the leaked list of school closings.
Parents, teachers and students at Holmes said they hope to fight the turnaround decision through a petition and protests. This is parent Ashley Palmer again:
PALMER: Oh, yes. I'm getting parents together now for that, because I do not want to see this school close.
Two parent meetings have been held at Holmes already, one this morning.
* Carpenter: Students will go to Ogden, Talcott and Lozano.
* Las Casas Occup. High School: Students will go to neighborhood schools.

Automakers used to relinquish the family vehicle market to minivans and station wagons, but car companies now realize that they can sell more vehicles by giving families options in every segment of the new car market. You can get the car you want and the family hauler you need, all in one package.
Family Sedans
Sedans and wagons used to be the go-to family vehicles, until minivans and SUVs moved in on their territory. With shoppers concerned about gas prices and carmakers offering roomier, more comfortable sedans, families are making their way back to cars with four doors and a trunk.
Of course, a sedan won't work for all families because there are only seatbelts for five. For some midsize and compact sedans, getting three adults or big kids into the back seat can be a squeeze. Fitting child safety seats in the back can be even more of a challenge. A sedan is good if you have one or two kids in car seats or three kids who are out of car seats. But if you have a larger family, you should also consider SUVs and minivans.
While sedans may not work for larger families, they still offer the features that any family looks for. Compact and midsize sedans like the Chevrolet Cruze and Nissan Altima get some of the best gas mileage available. There are plenty of hybrid sedans available to cut your fuel costs even more. Sedans tend to be easier to drive than some SUVs and vans, and many sedans get great safety ratings. While you're not going to find features like a back-seat refrigerated console in most sedans, you can still get kid-friendly options like back-seat climate control and lots of cup holders. Some models, like the Buick LaCrosse, have rear-seat DVD players. Sedans are also lower to the ground than SUVs and crossovers, making them easier for kids to get in and out of.
Family Hatchbacks
Like sedans, hatchbacks work for small families. Hatchbacks typically have more cargo space than similarly-sized sedans, so if you have a small family and a lot of stuff, a hatchback is a great choice. Some good hatchbacks for families include the Subaru Impreza, Toyota Prius, Ford Focus and Mazda Mazda3.
Family SUVs
There's a lot about SUVs that families will like. SUVs have lots of passenger and cargo room. Also, features like rear-seat DVD players have turned the SUV from a rough-and-tumble work vehicle to the conveyance of choice for many families. With space for anywhere from four to nine people, SUVs make sense for large families or for people who pull a lot of car pool duty. SUVs usually offer all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive, so they work for families who live in areas that frequently get inclement weather, as well as families who enjoy weekend trips off the beaten path.
SUVs aren't ideal for all families, though. Because of their increased size and height, they can be difficult to drive. If you have teenage drivers, their inexperience behind the wheel may make it harder for them to pilot a big SUV safely. Another downside of their size is that some SUVs have poor fuel economy ratings. Finally, SUVs can be expensive when compared with sedans and hatchbacks.
Shoppers looking for a family SUV should also check out crossovers. Crossovers look like SUVs, but ride on car platforms, so many of the negatives that SUVs bring to the table don't affect crossovers as much. Like SUVs, crossovers have lots of seating and cargo space, and offer features that families love, like DVD players and refrigerated consoles. Crossovers usually offer AWD and tend to get very good crash test ratings.
Family Wagons
Since the first Chevy Nomad rolled off the line, station wagons have been synonymous with family cars. Even though their popularity has waned, the virtues that make station wagons great family vehicles have not. Like hatchbacks and sedans, wagons typically only seat five. In the back seat, you can usually fit either three kids without car seats or two kids with them.
When it comes to cargo, wagons provide more space. Even compact wagons can offer more cargo room than some compact SUVs. For example, the Volvo XC70 and Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen offer more cargo space than the Volvo XC60 and Volkswagen Tiguan. Wagons also tend to get better gas mileage than many crossovers and SUVs. Some wagons are all-out fun to drive, especially if those wagons are based on great sedans, like the Acura TSX Sport Wagon and the Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon.
Wagons lose points with some families because of their limited passenger space. Plus, it's hard to find wagons with kid-friendly features beyond great stereo systems. But if you need plenty of cargo space and prefer a smaller family vehicle over a big SUV, wagons are a good choice.
If you want to move people comfortably and efficiently, minivans are tough to beat. Minivans can seat up to eight people. In most cases, minivans have a second row made up of two captain's chairs. That's a big plus for families because it makes it easier for kids to get in and out of the third row. Plus, minivans come loaded with features kids love. DVD players are available on almost all minivans. You can even turn the Chrysler Town & Country into a rolling Wi-Fi hotspot, so teens can tweet about how embarrassing it is to be driven around in a minivan.
One of the downsides with minivans is that most people just don't think they're cool. If you're a driving enthusiast, driving a minivan will leave you disappointed. However, if you're putting your family's safety, comfort and budget first, minivans are a logical choice. Most minivans start at less than $30,000, have good fuel economy relative to their size and get strong crash test ratings, which are qualities that make minivans a great family vehicle.

Date of Stay: March, 2012
This is an awesome RV park. The staff are very helpful and very professional. The park is extremely clean. Nice indoor swimming pool. Great off leash area for your dog. Excellent RV park.
Date of Stay: March, 2012
This is the worse RV park we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in at least 200 different parks in the past 25 years! The management is rude, unreasonable and unprofessional. The blonde lady everyone talks about is unbelievable and all reviews about her are true. If you complain or even ask about anything, you are asked to leave and there is a no refund policy. There is no customer service. The RV park is run down and dirty. Maybe the management should stop smoking and standing around and actually do some work! They should also take a communication course! There is an adult only section, but really the whole park should be for adults as they do not let children walk around the park or ride their bikes. The only people staying here are one`s forced to due to the low cost. Never stay here! Go park at Walmart if you have to!

Board of Public Utilities
Calculation Example for Plan Review and Building Permit fee:
$10,000 project valuation
$10,000/$100 value of work = 100

Plan review fee is half the building permit cost, plus $228 BPU fee.
$105/2=$52.50 + $228 BPU fee = $280.50 Total the cost of the Plan review fee

Mahesh comes down heavily on Slumdog Millionaire
He said, "This isn't best or better than any of the cherishing films made by our filmmakers. Why should we get excited when it's not an Indian Film and even if it wins Oscars, it is of no use to India. It is a British Filmmaker's flick and he has accomplished his dreams roping in India's best personalities to work with. There were more films where actors like Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan had spelled their best works and yet went unrecognised. Moreover, the Oscars hadn't been plainly nominated for Indian Films for superior quality in the category of Foreign Films."
So that's what he thinks about the movie which has been acclaimed globally and especially with 10 Oscar Nominations. But didn't it really showcase Mumbai to the world? That in itself is a big achievement for the city plagued by terrorist attacks, poverty and the recession.
We just hope Bhatt saab would take back his words too, like how Mr. Bachchan did!

Awww, she loves me, she loves me not. Yep, she loves me!!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Awww, she loves me, she loves me not. Yep, she loves me!!!
That is so sweet! That is a happy dog:)Pretty colors too:)
I had a mini schnauzer when I was 16. She had the best personality! They are great animals with fantastic personalities. They just beg to be spoiled!
Aw heck, Donna, my schnauzer, Rosey, saw this picture and now she won't leave me alone. Off to the sewing room for a "Rosey quilt". Cute pup, by the way, she looks just like my Rosey.
Ooooo she is sooo cute. Obviously, she really appreciates her present which is very beautiful. :thumbup:
Got to love those "fur babies"!! :lol:
What a cute fur baby. Mine love sleeping on my quilts and fabric.
I have a mini frosted schnauzer, which I never knew existed, but she's adorable and loves to be wherever Mommie is. Sleeps in bed with us (I wouldn't have it any other way) and is very affectionate. Jealous doesn't even touch it. I bought a remnant of hot pink fleece with black dog bones on it for a blanket for her, and she loves it. But Gertie is a sweetheart!
