: Hyon Gyon
Hyon Gyon draws inspiration from the Korean shamanistic ritual of Gut (exorcism). It is thought that through this ritual, ancestors face harsh realities and strive for better lives. The feelings expressed during this ritual, such as obsessive fear and acquisitive desire, are often perceived as ugly. However, through the violent extraction of these emotions, they are believed to transcend ugliness, becoming ironic and almost laughable. This explosion of suppressed negative energy is a pivotal aspect of Hyon Gyon's work. Otherworldly figures with wild hair and sharp swords float within shadowy backgrounds. Unpalatable emotions are depicted as colorful rainbows bursting from within figures. Everyday objects pop up as they would within memory. Happiness, ugliness, and pleasure collide and harmonize within these enigmatic pieces. Hyon Gyon is based in New York, U.S. She received her B.A. from Mokwon University in Korea and her M.A. and PhD from Kyoto City University of Arts in Japan. She had one-person and group exhibitions at the Museum of Kyoto, Kyoto, in 2006; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, in 2007 and 2010; Kyoto Art Center, Kyoto, in 2011; Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, San Francisco, in 2012; and Shin Gallery, New York, in 2013. Hyon Gyon's work is included in the collections of the Museum of Kyoto, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, the Kyoto City University of Arts, and the Takahashi Collection, among others. She has received several fellowships and awards, including the Asao Kato International Scholarship and the Tokyo Wonder Wall Competition Prize.

If Republican and Democratic leaders want to avoid a reprise of last year's nasty showdown over raising the federal debt limit, they are not off to a good start.
After meeting with President Barack Obama and senior Democratic lawmakers over lunch at the White House on Wednesday, top Republicans came away thinking the Democratic president does not want new spending cuts to accompany any legislation to increase the debt limit.
Democrats disputed the accuracy of that impression, but such a stance by Obama would put Democrats on a fiscal collision course with Republican House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, who, according to aides, told the president that "I'm not going to allow a debt ceiling increase without doing something serious about the debt."
After the meeting, White House spokesman Jay Carney did not specify whether Obama would refuse to consider spending cuts as part of a plan to increase the debt limit.
But Carney said Obama made it clear to Boehner "that we're not going to re-create the debt ceiling debacle of last August."
The lengthy stalemate between Congress and the White House over raising the debt ceiling last summer brought the United States to the brink of a historic default, and led Standard and Poor's to downgrade the triple-A U.S. credit rating.
The episode did not push up interest rates, but economists say the uncertainty it created contributed to a slowdown in economic growth last year.
The U.S. Treasury is now expected to reach the $16.4 trillion debt limit sometime between the November 6 election and early 2013, an event that eventually would halt government borrowing, force shutdowns of many operations and threaten the government's ability to repay maturing debt.
"It is simply not acceptable to hold the American and global economy hostage to one party's political ideology," Carney said, an apparent reference to compromise-resistant Republicans in Congress who will not accept any tax increases as part of a plan to trim the government's debt
Carney added that Obama wanted a "balanced approach" to deficit reduction – a phrase Democrats have used to refer to tax increases on the wealthy alongside spending cuts.
Besides Obama and Boehner, Wednesday's meeting over Italian-style sandwiches included House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, both Democrats, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican.
The meeting took place a day after Boehner issued a demand that any increase in federal borrowing authority be exceeded by spending cuts.
A Boehner aide said the speaker asked Obama at the White House on Wednesday whether he was proposing that Congress pass a debt limit increase without spending cuts.
"The president said, 'Yes,'" the aide said.
That assertion about Obama's position was later disputed by Pelosi and other Democrats.
The inability of Republicans and Democrats to agree even on what Obama said during the meeting symbolized the distance between them on the debt issue.
Some Democrats suspect that Republicans might be willing to feed a debt crisis that increases instability in the economy – and potentially damages Obama's chances of defeating Republican Mitt Romney in November.
Republicans reject that scenario, but party leaders in Congress, and Romney, who is on the campaign trail, now seem to be in harmony with their anti-Obama message on the debt.
On Wednesday in St. Petersburg, Florida, Romney blasted Obama's spending record while standing in front of a digital debt clock that showed $15.685 trillion and counting.
"I find it incomprehensible that a president could come to office and call his predecessor's record irresponsible and unpatriotic, and then do almost nothing to fix it and instead every year add more and more spending," Romney said.
After mainly attacking Obama and his Democrats on the sluggish economy and high unemployment, Romney and other Republicans are opening a new front on an issue where they feel they have the upper hand – runaway Washington spending. Anxiety over U.S. debt swept dozens of Tea Party fiscal conservatives into Congress in 2010.
"They believe that talking about fiscal problems – the debt and the deficits – are good issues for them," said Ethan Siegal, who tracks Washington politics for institutional investors. "It puts Obama on the defensive, and it gins up the fiscal activist base" within the Republican Party.
Republicans "need to have their base excited about the election," said Siegal, who added that if the economy continued its slow but steady improvement, its negative impact for Obama could wane in coming months.
Michael Pond, a fixed-income analyst with Barclays Capital in New York, estimated that Congress would not have to act to raise the debt limit until at least February, as the Treasury Department could stave off the day of reckoning by some two months with special cash management measures employed last year.
More moderate Republicans in Congress welcome an early debate over the borrowing cap, but want a constructive dialogue.
"I think it's helpful as long as we have a strategy," said Republican Representative Stephen LaTourette, who has championed bipartisan solutions to debt reduction.
"To just bring it up and dig our heels in the sand and say we're going to have a repeat of last August, I don't think anybody came out of that very well," the congressman said.
Democrats are ready to pounce on the specific cuts that Republicans are proposing to reach their deficit-reduction goals – mainly to the popular Medicare healthcare system for the elderly, Medicaid healthcare for the poor, food stamps and other social safety net programs.
Boehner has already ruled out tax hikes as part of any debt-reduction deal, although he said comprehensive tax reform efforts, possibly next year, could cause some Americans' tax bills to rise as certain deductions and credits are eliminated.
An aide said Boehner had never included military cuts in his formula for a debt hike/spending reduction package.
Analysts say that leaves few places to turn for cuts – mainly the "discretionary" spending that already has been targeted, which keeps federal agencies running and funds programs ranging from education, medical research and transportation to the NASA space agency.

Gridlock II ?
Or they could just let the Bush tax cuts expire.
They were designed to expire. They were intended to expire. All the budget predictions made around them included that they would expire. They did not expire. They should have.
Recall that President Bill Clinton and (Republican-controlled!) Congress were running a surplus at the end of his second term. President George W. Bush's administration and Congress could have paid off the debt, maybe not completely, but he could have paid off a huge chunk of that run up by Presidents Reagan and Bush (and their respective Congresses).
Instead, they chose the path of the wastrel, stopped taking in income and spent fortunes on war.
Now their complaining about debt (especially when the interest accumulated has run it up even higher) strikes me as just a bit hypocritical.
I have no respect whatsoever for 'debt hawks' who were in the majority party when President George W. Bush's tax cuts were enacted.
They could have, they should have, paid it all off then.
They didn't. And now they're whining about it. I have neither respect for them personally nor sympathy for their causes.
PS – The very first obligation the U.S. Government should stop paying is Congressional paychecks. I.
Letting taxes rise to pre-Bush levels will not solve the budget problem. Bush is gone… someone else deserves the blame now, as in, spending is rising much faster under BHO.
Let's just print more money… burp.
It would be a step in the correct direction.
And I concur – Spending on wars, warfare, and the military-industrial complex should be drastically cut back. Note that President Obama's administration actually put the cost of the wars President Bush started on the budget itself, as well as having to pay the interest on those gargantuan deficits.
Abolishing the TSA and returning airport security to the local level would be a drop in the bucket, but a helpful one.
Archer Daniels Midland doesn't need ethanol subsidies any more than the oil companies need their 'depletion allowance' or any of the myriad ways they privatize the profits and socialize the losses.
The banks need bailing out about as much as a leaky zeppelin.
There is no one simple solution. But all of these are steps in the correct direction, and arbitrarily ruling out any of them is, by comparison, a step backwards.
PS – For a really fun idea, let's try taxing financial property like real property. If you own a house, you pay a percentage of what it's worth every year, or they seize it. If you own stock in Facebook, you pay a percentage of what it's worth, every year, or they seize it.
After all, you'd scream if they took your house from you for non-payment of taxes (and they wouldn't care), and you'd scream if they took your stocks and bonds for non-payment of taxes (and they wouldn't care).
Why should financial instruments be any different from real estate?
Thought I should throw that out there,

MINERVA The Minerva Baptist Church, located on Route 28N in Minerva, will celebrate its Bicentennial Anniversary in October. Originally founded on Oct. 17, 1807, as the Second Baptist Church of Schroon, the church has welcomed the faithful through its doors without interruption for two centuries.
This is a very special time, says Church Pastor Rev. Trudy Pettibone. The number of people in our church is a relatively small number, but they do a wonderful job of keeping the church going. The life of this church is very important and anyone from the community is welcome to come and share in this celebration.
To plan the event, church members Madeline Raymond, Frank LaBar, and Barbara Curtis formed a celebration committee in 2005. Their goal was to celebrate the longevity of the church, to recognize various figures that contributed to its history, and offer the community the opportunity to share in its continued success.
Celebration events will open on Saturday afternoon, October 13, with a coffee and fellowship hour beginning at 12:30 p.m.. Following the fellowship at 2 p.m., the celebration will officially begin with a welcome message and opening prayer provided by Reverend Trudy Pettibone. During the service, there will be a Sharing of Memories ceremony, in which attendees are invited to reflect on their memories of the church.
Its hard to believe the celebration is really here, notes Pettibone. Im really looking forward to hearing some of the old stories.
The North Country Christian Brass will accompany all congregational singing on Saturday.
In addition, on Saturday afternoon, Reverend David Powles, Minerva Baptist Church Pastor from 1979 to 1983, will share his reflections on the churchs history.
Immediately following Reverend Powles message, the much-anticipated marble cornerstone will be opened and its contents displayed. The cornerstone and its enclosed memories have remained undisturbed since being placed there during the churchs 150-year celebration event.

Blogging Wondertime Magazine: Swatch Book
What to do with all of those adorable baby clothes once they've grown out of them?
Of course, you'll hand down some to friends and relatives who are having babies shortly after. Or maybe you'll hoard them with the notion that one day your grandchildren will wear them (our mother). We've also seen someone over at Etsy sewing baby clothes onto a blanket.
But we love projects with fabric, so this is probably our favorite idea: A Baby Clothes Swatch Book.
It's really up to you how creative you want to get. Wondertime's instructions are below. We think taking a favorite picture of baby in each outfit is a must to really bring back those memories. What a beautiful way to hold on to those few precious outfits you first hung in the closet in anticipation of your new arrival.
Instructions (via Wondertime's website.)
Using sharp scissors, cut the clothing into swatches that will fit on the blank book's pages. Experiment with a small piece of fabric first: Hold the fabric taut and make a small initial cut, then use the open jaw of the scissors to zip the length of the fabric. It's easiest to rip woven fabrics along the grain. If you prefer a more precise edge, draw a chalk line on the fabric and cut along it, then dust it off after cutting.
Match the photos (if using) to the clothing.
Mount the photos and fabrics onto the pages, using double-sided tape.
Write your memories on the labels. Affix the labels as desired.

not to be a party pooper, but isn't it a little environmentally irresponsible to pass up the chance to keep the clothes intact and reusable - by friends, family, thrift store shoppers, whatever - in exchange for a snippet of fabric and tossing the rest in the trash?
hbl- That thought did cross our mind as well. Here's one idea-you can always reuse the rest of the fabric as well. Maybe for other craft projects or collages with the kids later on? You could even frame a piece of it for their room if it's pretty enough. Just a thought.
I've thrown away quite a few baby/toddler clothes that were too stained/ripped to be of any use to anybody. Most of mine had already been through up to 4 kids, so they were on their last legs, but had sentimental value to me nonetheless. I think this is a good idea, wish I'd thought of it back then.
I love this idea in tandem with sewing the rest of the fabrics onto a blanket, or into a quilt.
Of course there are those special pieces I just can't resist saving for posterity or "for the grandchildren." I have a dress that I used to wear when I was about two, and am glad my mother saved it for me. I even have a pic of my two year old self wearing it.
One way to keep a memento of the fabric and pass along the outfit would be to photocopy or scan the outfit. Then just clip the copy to the size you want, or even use it under the photo of the child in the outfit.

Finding a job can be a daunting prospect, but it doesn't have to be all work and no play.
These six classic job-related video clips are perfect for when you need a break to refresh and rejuvenate. Consider them part of your job hunt research – you very well may learn something while you're laughing!
"Get a Job", from Brad Caslor
Brad Caslor's 1985 out-of-print film, "Get a Job", follows cartoon character Bob Dog as he looks for a job. Reminiscent of early Disney productions, and in homage to Bob Clampett and other animation of the 1940's, this cartoon uses great visuals and upbeat music to tell the tale. If you're not watching for it, you may not realize that flowing through the the story line is essentially a tutorial on job hunting, which outlines issues relating to self-motivation, creating a resume, contacting prospective employers, preparing for an interview, the interview itself, and, last but not least, the importance of networking to finding a job. Despite the educational slant, this is a favorite of ours because of the music and its entertainment value.
"Bad Things To Say At A Job Interview", from Mock The Week
Mock The Week, BBC Two's top-rated satirical comedy show, regales us with a panel of standup comedians who deliver lines you wouldn't want to say at a job interview – a great refresher in case you thought any of these lines might work for you!
MADtv's "Job Interview"
In the following clip from MADtv, a manager must deal with a wacky candidate who justifies her actions by playing the race card. The moral of the story? Even a disastrous job interview can result in a job offer, so do your best, remain confident and don't give up!
"Job Interview", from Monty Python
An evil interviewer from Monty Python's Flying Circus confounds a job candidate, while pointing out the importance of investigating and knowing the company before you apply.
I Love Lucy's "Candy Factory"
Once you've got a job, the rest is easy, right? In this hilarious episode from 1952, Lucy and Ethel think working outside the home has to be easier than doing housework, while Ricky and Fred think the opposite. So the guys volunteer to do the housework while Lucy and Ethel get jobs in a candy factory – and discover that holding onto a job is not as easy as it looks.
"Kramer Gets a Job", from Seinfeld
This funny excerpt from a Seinfeld episode plays on Kramer's reluctance to hold down a paying job while satirizing the effects a new job can have on close relationships. While volunteering can tell you a lot about what kind of work suits you, and whether or not you're suited for it, we don't recommend going about it quite the way Kramer does!

TEAMS: New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks
Eric Gordon completed a three-point play with 4.7 seconds left in overtime and the New Orleans Hornets won 99-96 Saturday night to spoil the Dallas Mavericks' first game this season with Dirk Nowitzki in the starting lineup. After a timeout, O.J. Mayo was beyond the 3-point line when Gordon went up the air and by him. Gordon's foot made contact with the ball, knocking it loose. Instead of a foul, officials called it a kicked ball. Dallas got one more chance but Vince Carter's shot from the right corner ricocheted off the rim. Nowitzki had a team-high 20 points in 34 minutes, his most extensive action this season. He missed a free throw with 18 seconds left in regulation that would have put the Mavericks ahead by a point. Greivis Vasquez had 15 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter for the Hornets, but missed a final shot at the end of regulation. Vasquez also had nine assists. Gordon's game-winner came when he scored on a bank shot from the top of the circle aft...

If things weren't already heating up in St. Landry parish government, a recently released audit might bring things to a boiling point.
It was the previous council that wanted to put a microscope on the final years of Don Menard's reign as parish president. The present council is pleased because the findings show possible wrong doing, but Menard says its nothing more than politics.
"The key word is in those findings is may, I may have violated the charter," says Menard in a telephone interview.
Former St. Landry parish president Don Menard feels he has done nothing wrong, and thinks this audit was nothing more than a political witch hunt.
It focuses on 2011, the last year Menard was in office. The previous council requested it, specifically looking to unearth a dual office holder, however, other red flags popped up like signing contracts without council approval, improper usage of parish vehicles, and undocumented credit card receipts for more than $16,000.
"Every penny or any money that was spent in my last year, year and a half or whatever is accounted for," says Menard.
Menard claims none of those purchases were inappropriate, he just merely was bad at keeping receipts, but the audit shows inconsistencies in Menard's responses.
"The people that do the annual audit never did mention anything to me about that. So I thought it was proper," explains Menard.
As earlier stated the audit was called for suspected dual office holding by now Director of Administration, Jessie Bellard, who also serves as a full-time captain with the Opelousas Fire Department.
After interviews the audit claims Bellard basically ran the day to day operations while Menard was out campaigning for state representative, but Bellard was never officially named Chief Administrative Officer, which is a full time position.
"I never for one second relinquished my powers as president," claims Menard.
Bellard, who is Menard's nephew, was originally hired as an office assistant at $8.50 an hour, but records now show is making upwards of $50,000 a year. The current council claims nothing has changed as far as his role.
"They felt that we were going to get a new administration. Mr. Fontenot chose not to do that, and that is why we're still having problems," says Council Chair Wayne Ardoin.
Current parish president Bill Fontenot has responded to the audit along with the council. It's been forwarded to District Attorney Earl Taylor who will decide if there are any criminal acts.

Since the dawn of the commercial airline industry, the accuracy of tracking aircraft has steadily increased with progresses in technology. However, even with modern day tracking systems such as GPS and ground radar, there are still large voids around the globe where accuracy is diminished due to low coverage. Commercial planes must fly longer routes to accommodate for these areas, which translates into higher ticket prices and longer flight durations.
Harris is currently working on a solution to this problem: a fleet of phased array antennas that will orbit the earth and provide coverage in the areas that are currently lacking. In this presentation we will cover how the classes you are taking now and will take in the future can prepare you to work on projects like these. We will also cover how the many different disciplines of engineering must come together to make a project like this successful.
This is a summary of Harris' presentation for the Feb. 4 Tech Talks.

While the South has their fair share of racism and race issues, over my travels and places that I have lived in the U.S.-I found that North Eastern states have the most racial issues. Look at the Country club swimming poll incident in Pennsylvania state, where black day-care school kids were denied the right to swim because white parents thought they would steal from their white kids! This happened AFTER the country club took the school's reservation money. And the state's Democrat Senator said "Well just offer for them to come back but don't make too much of an effort!" Well why in the hell would these kids want to go back and swim and why is this white Democratic Senator giving this country club a pass?
What makes the South looks racist is Hollywood and the way the media covers the regions. The media doesn't do stories on racism issues and race crimes in N.Y., Pa., L.A. or other Northern and Western states or cities. They look for racism in the South while giving the North and West a pass.
New York City has cases with NYPD sodomizing black men, directly in their police stations and there are black cops being shot by white cops every year in NYC and Westchester county area over Manhattan. There have been 2 shootings of black cops-who were killed by white cops in the past 2 years alone in NYC!
The United States is a country, where 4 white NYPD officers can take a bathroom mop plunger, and sodomize, Abner Louima- a Haitian immigrant, until his bladder rips inside of his body right there in a N.Y.C. police precinct! All those cops, on duty, that day knew what was happening and they all lied for each other! Then a white judge lets go and said they were following police procedures! Wow! If it is up to white-America to decide about what is police brutality in minority communities then there will never be justice in the U.S. until that group is down sized-which should happen in about the next 30 years.
Everyone knows that Boston has plenty of white drug addicts and white crime but cops like, Sgt Crowley are arresting old African American college professors.
When I lived in California, a gang of Mexicans fire-bombed a black family's home in Pasadena, Ca. There were also about 5 more hate crimes done by Mexican gangs on innocent blacks within my first year of moving to Ca.
When I went to college in Ohio-I found very little hate and race issues in the Mid-West. I have been through Michigan and Iowa and found people got along much better than any where else.
Of course the South has race issues but it is mostly due to the environment created by certain politicians and judges but not directly motivated by people.
Where Obama perplexes me, in speaking out on this case(Sgt. James Crowley and Professor Gates), is the fact that there are many more egregious cases of citizens being victimized by bad cops-in the U.S. and so far, no Democratic(since they say they are for blacks and minorities) legislature has lifted one finger to correct these issues! The best thing that Obama can do right now-is to quit and give the job to John Edwards. Obama, Clinton, MCain and Palin need to all be shipped to Venus and they can take the Senate with them.
In my "first hand" view and according to FBI facts-about race and hate crimes:(and where they really happen)
Yankees are the worse racist. The North Eastern states, have this criminal mafia good old boy system-that allows racism, killings, crime rings within the government and law enforcement community but the media rarely exposes any of this. Coming from Louisiana state, I was shocked at how corrupt New York and New Jersey was when I lived in those 2 states!
If we compare racism in the South against the North-Eastern states or California, the South looks like Alice of Wonderland!
Western states-have many immigrant gangs that kill anyone who isn't from their latin American country. Most hate crimes against African Americans are perpetrated by Hispanics and not white Americansand most hate crimes happen in California state! According to their own statistics and District Attorney's office in Los Angeles county.
The South-has institutionalized issues but the Mid-West appears to be where Americans have managed to get along and respect each other.
It appears that an American cop can beat his wife, choke someone, shoot unarmed kids & last week a cop set someone on fire! And it is always "proper police procedure!" If this is always proper police procedure than the U.S. is no more civilized than the Taliban or the Congo Republic of Africa!
Regarding the Boston arrest of the Harvard Professor. The cop is on t.v. saying that he arrested Professor Gates, for making a comment? Well, cops need to get out of the habit that if anyone looks at them-they have a legal right to arrest, beat or even shoot you.
If Sgt. Crowleywas so afraid, for the Professor, having hidden people in his home-then why didn't he check the home after he arrested the Harvard Professor? Plus, lets not kid ourselves about cops and successful blacks in America. IT BURNS THEIR BRAIN to be only a cop and surrounded by blacks and browns who are smart enough to be at Harvard in Cambridge, Ma. The sadistic and racist treatment of black men in America-on all fronts-needs to be addressed.

Would You Pay $25 for an LED Lightbulb?
The Energy Independence Act of 2007 is in full swing with retailers and consumers. The Act requires 30 percent more energy efficiency in bulbs, which leads to more energy AND more money. Phasing out inefficient incandescent light bulbs and introducing more efficient LED light bulbs is a costly, yet beneficial, venture for both producers and consumers.
According to the Washington Post, "with dozens of new LED products coming to store shelves this year, the bulbmakers and retailers such as Home Depot aim to smash the dominant incandescent bulb. [. . .] The catch is that LED bulbs cost $25 or more apiece, so the companies are plotting ways to persuade Americans to make the investment."
Here in Seattle, we are pioneers for sustainability and environmentalism, but I'm wondering how the rest of the country feels about this change. Would more energy and durability (albeit, more cost) persuade you, as a consumer, to work towards energy efficiency? Or would you tend to err on the side of frugality by using less costly fluorescent bulbs?

I kinda feel about LED bulbs how I initially felt about first-generation CFL bulbs - the light is not soft enough. I would gladly buy them if I didn't feel like they made my home into a Wal-Mart.
Absolutely. Maybe more. A well-made, sufficiently-advanced LED bulb should last around 15-20 years. Plus, if it's drawing less power, producing less heat and saving me money on my electric...At that point it becomes an investment – something you'd actually take with you if you move to a new apartment.
The Philips ambiled 60w replacement is perfect and cots $25 on sale at Home Depot. It's a bit finicky with my electronic dimmer, but on a regular switch it's been great. Definitely softer than any CFL I've used.
Only if it looks like an incandescent.
I got my LED bulb for well under 25 dollars. I media outlets would stop talking about LEDs like they were all super expensive. You can easily find LED bulbs for well under 10 dollars.
I don't think you are supposed to use them with dimmers. You should switch out your switch.
I think it's interesting that you use the term "phasing out incandescent bulbs", when earlier you steer us towards a Re-Nest article that says they are NOT, in fact, phasing them out, but instead are making them more efficient. Which one of you is correct??
I'm surprised that neither the Post article nor the Apartment Therapy post mentions one of the most weighty benefits of LEDs over the lighting we have now: they are mercury-free.
...And before someone writes in to say that mercury is safe because they handled mercury in 1950s science kits, I'm aware of that, but the fact that you're still alive (and so are some of my relatives who did the same thing) doesn't undo the overwhelming evidence of its toxicity. I wish it did!
I'll buy LEDs, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. The CFLs I currently have last for years. In 2007 I put CFLs in all my lights, and it was only last month that I had to replace the one I use most often.
Yes. Agree with others though, only if they are indoor home-quality softness.
The Philips 60w equivalent LED bulb can be used with a dimmer, at least that's what is stated on the packaging. I have not tried one on a dimmer though so I can't comment on how well they do or do not work. I am quite please with the colour of the light given off though, I doubt most people could tell that it isn't an incandescent bulb.
There are definitely harsh white LED lights that are very unpleasant to look at, but there are also ones available that have a beautiful warm glow, such as the ones from Philips.
They have a high up front cost now because it's still relatively new technology; CFLs were quite expensive at first as well. The low operational costs still make LEDs worthwhile however, but probably not worth swapping out perfectly functional CFLs. When those need replacing though... look into LEDs.
It sounds like most people on this blog are pretty well off because most stated they would buy LED's for their home - despite the cost. That's HUGE investment for most of us that have regular jobs and mortgages to pay. Just in my living room I would need almost 12 bulbs, 10 in my kitchen - 22 bulbs total in just 2 rooms of my house X $25 a piece (on average because I've seen some more expensive and some cheaper also) = almost $600!!! I can't afford to spend $600 on two rooms just for lightbulbs.
I DEFINITELY agree that the long-term savings are worth it and the environmental impact is considerably less, but I still have to consider the fact that buying even just a few at a time is a large investment.
Not to mention the fact that the LED's I've seen are not as "warm" as incadescents or even soft-white CFL's. They come close, but still have a different glow to them that i'm not 100% convinced with - especially considering I'm paying $25 a bulb.
Once LED's are perfected, lower priced and easier to find in stores, then I'll consider changing out all the CFL's in my home for LED's.
Just my 2 cents.
Considering how long they last, I'm going to wait until the price comes down and the quality of light improves. Imagine having to tolerate a harsh light bulb you don't like for the next ten years.
Not only are Compact Fluorescents harmful to the environment, but they're also harmful to HUMANS! CFL's contain mercury that could poison someone if released from the bulb. They also emit radiation, so having them in areas of your house which you use most is a bad idea. Keep CFL's in low use, unimportant areas, like garages and outdoors IF YOU MUST. In my opinion, they should have never even been invented. Yes, I would switch to LEDs.
Yes I would. I've been looking at the LED replacements for MR16s for a while now. There is no place local for me to purchase yet but when I can buy one nearby (and have the ability to return if I don't like it) I'll purchase one to test.
Our local utility company recently replaced the street lights with LED lamps. They used to have the yellowish flickery lights in them. The new LED light is AMAZING. It's brighter and it seems like a much larger area is lit.
@ Keri Payne - the statement above doesn't say they're phasing out ALL incandescents. There is a list I've seen in a number of places of which incandescent bulbs are being phased out.
I will be investing in LED's- but slowly. I agree that at this time they are a higher price, but one at a time- it is the same price as a night at the movies!
As long as they have specific dimmers installed for led dimmer bulbs.
sorry i wasn't done
and if the problem is what jcors was describing it sounds like they have the wrong switches, or a bad bulb
The Philips AmbientLED 60W equivalent is far and away the best LED I've seen. It's soft white (2700k) and is indistinguishable from an incandescent. Really the 'must-buy' when getting replacement bulbs at this point.
As mentioned above, it has dropped to $25 at HD and is a great buy. HD also has the 75W equivalent on their website as well, which is worth checking out. LED has arrived and is only going to get better.
We just bought our first LED the other day. I *had* to be rid of the CFL that had recently been placed in the socket because the color temperature of that bulb (2700 K) was just terrible to look at for me. Switched it out for a 4900 K LED and all was well.
As far as cost goes, we are moving to a new place and hope to slowly convert the entire house as bulbs burn out.
@ Angel Raphael,
You don't have to be well off. My entire condo has only 11 light bulbs, including lamps. Think smaller.
I'm afraid that the LED lamp that I want doesn't exist yet: as it dims, it turn redder like an incandescent. For evening lighting, I like the gentle glow of a dimmed light bulb.
I use incandescent and will until the LED's come down in price. I don't use CFL's because I don't like how they look and it's unsettling that you need a hazmat suit to clean up a broken light-bulb. Plus, several people I know how switched to CFL's and they have had them burn out ijust like good old incandescent bulbs and aren't lasting as long as it has been said.
Still, I like the idea of LED and some of the newer ones look comforting in terms of light color.
I've already invested in a couple. I have two fixtures in my bathroom that are next to impossible to change -- one directly over the shower stall, the other over the garden tub, on a ten-foot ceiling -- and after the ridiculous contortions it took just to get up there and see what kind of bulb went in the fixtures (this involved a folding ladder, inserted in the shower stall partially folded and then unfolded into place!), I climbed down and headed straight off to buy a 20-year bulb, because if I _never_ have to change those again, that'll suit me fine. It's a perfect application for these bulbs, and well worth the expense.
Hate, hate, hate CFLs. The light is bad, they are expensive, and they absolutely do not last. A seven dollar light bulb that lasts for a couple of months does not cut it. These might be worth it, if they truly last as long as suggested. But after my repeated experiences with CFLs that died much sooner than a regular incandescent bulb, I'd be hard pressed to turn over $25 without an easy guarantee. (not a "you are responsible for paying for shipping and insurance and we'll send you a coupon for 10% of your next purchase guarantee.)
Invest? You're not investing in anything. A lightbulb is a depreciating, expendable, consummable item. It's worth is less than the moment you bought it and it will eventually become worthless. There's no investment here - just spending. I'm hoarding incandescents with the plan of selling on the lightbulb black market.
Our priest says if we switched to cfls it looks really good on the resume. I have to find out about these new fangled leds.
>CFL's contain mercury that could poison
>someone if released from the bulb.
Yeah, if they ate it, maybe. CFLs contain elemental mercury, which is not terribly dangerous. Open the window, vent any gas, and sweep up the debris without touching it (don't vacuum).
It isn't anywhere near as dangerous as the organic mercury compounds belched by coal burning power plants into the environment. CFL's save so much electricity, even if you discard them and the tiny amount of mercury they contain instead of recycling them, they still pump less mercury into the environment than running an incandescent bulb does.
>They also emit radiation
No, they don't. They don't steal socks from your dryer or drink milk from the carton, either.
Oh, and where the heck are you people getting these CFL bulbs that don't last years? Even the el-cheapo CFLs I get at IKEA last 5+ years each, in daily use.
@wet chi - Why are you taking career advice from a priest? He's probably only ever had one job. :)
I'm not switching to LEDs until my current stock of bulbs (both incandescent & CFLs) burns out. Alternatively, if someone is giving them away, like many did when CFLs first came out, I'll take 'em.
you are allowed to judge me: BUT>I am verrry much not understanding any of this 'bulb thing'..bottom line: can't I still get my 'reveal' bulbs, when this all starts 'happening'? I know it's to save energy for all of us...but I just feel horrified thinking that I have to start to spend big bucks on replacing dead bulbs instead of the usual few dollars or so for a pkg of my 'reveal' bulbs...Is this like we all have no choice but to buy these bulbs> it kind of reminds me of when television was 'free' and now we have to pay companies due to television going 'digital'.... choices being taken out of our hands? I'm trying to understand and be informed of 'what is going on' with the emerging 'bulb thing' news..thank you my lifesaving aptther. friends!
That's my plan ..a binful of 'old fashioned' bulbs! Thanks hrhprincessfiona..I had a feeling they are not going to go over well with most here either..but will as 'time goes by'.
NO. The light is horrible. The chemicals are dangerous to the home and the environment. They require additional packaging to store, ship, etc. which uses more energy to produce. I am not sold, regardless on the price.

While I was on vacation, I watched the first part of CNN's "The Sixties" series, which dealt with the Civil Rights movement and a look back at the signing of the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964.
As a baby boomer, I grew up watching on television the atrocities suffered by black people who only wanted to live as equals in a country that generally had labeled dark-skinned people as second-class citizens.
As I watched the show and heard commentary from those who participated in the struggle for racial equality, I couldn't help but think that despite the advancements that have been made over the last 50 years, there is still much work left to be done.
I am not trying to be negative. We have a biracial president receiving flak from conservatives and liberals. The city of Youngstown has had a black mayor, and the mayors of Warren and McDonald are black. And some blacks — and they are few — are CEOs of major corporations.
But as I watched the CNN documentary, I couldn't help but think about the madness and sheer stupidity of denying someone basic rights to get a drink of water, use the bathroom, sit down for a meal at a lunch counter, vote and have top-notch educational opportunities, simply because of the color of his or her skin.
I watched John Lewis, now a U.S. congressman, but back in the 1960s a young man who was at the forefront of the civil-rights struggle, get beat down on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama. He said he thought he was going to die that day.
I listened as Alabama governor George Wallace valiantly declared, "Segregation today. Segregation tomorrow. Segregation forever."
I listened to white people use the N-word as casually as they take a breath of air, not realizing, nor caring, about how their attitudes impacted a race of people.
I heard Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. give an interview that the hatred and sheer anger he experienced in Cicero, Ill., when he led a protest for equal housing in that community, was worse than anything he experienced in the deeply segregated South.
I grew up on the East Side of Youngstown. I lived in an integrated neighborhood with other blacks, Irish Catholics, Lebanese, Puerto Ricans, Italians and those of Slovakian heritage. My family lived in a duplex next door to the Drummond family. A few doors down lived the Lyden family. A few homes away lived the Sinkoviches, the Agees, the Hollisters and the Hayeks. I didn't recall any problems living on South Bruce Street.
But my parents reminded me and my siblings that some of the things happening in the South also were happening in Youngstown.
They told me about Lincoln Park having two pools — one for blacks and one for whites. They told me that Kiddieland at Idora Park amusement park was once a pool in which blacks weren't allowed to swim. Why was there a need for a black YMCA on what is now Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard? Blacks couldn't get membership at the downtown YMCA on North Champion Street.
When Simeon Booker, Youngstown native and award-winning journalist, spoke here last year, he talked about the prejudice he and other black students experienced at Youngstown College, now Youngstown State University.
When the new homes were being built in what is called the Lincoln Knolls area on the East Side, blacks weren't welcome. They could, however, rent apartments at the new Kennedy Park Terrace (now called ESA Park Apartments), located off Oak Street.
I don't know how true this is, but I've been told some areas of Youngstown had clauses in property deeds that they would not sell their homes to blacks.
The documentary also pointed out the large number of white people who willingly chose to end America's apartheid, including two young white men who were murdered in Philadelphia, Miss.
This is an important fact young black people need to remember. You cannot condemn a race of people for what a few have done to you.
I appreciated the statement from Connie Hathorn, Youngstown schools superintendent, when discussing his upbringing in segregation in a story that appeared in our paper last week. "I don't hate anybody in the white race, because the white race didn't do this to me. Individuals did this to me," he said about those who tormented him because of his skin color.
Sadly, there is always going to be racism and bigotry in our society. The call for a dialogue between whites and blacks on the issue of race has been going on for decades.
In our politically correct society we live in today, it is hard to have such discussions. If you criticize black people, and you are white, you are a racist. If you are black and agree with a point made by a white person, you are an "Uncle Tom" or a sellout. If you disagree with a person's lifestyle choice, you are intolerant.
But if we don't have that conversation in a meaningful way, without any preconceived ideas or agendas, the divide between the races won't close.
Affirmative Action is on its last legs. Less than 5 percent of those working in the high-tech Silicon Valley are either black or Latino. New laws are on the books to try to keep blacks from voting, nearly 50 years after the historic Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The United States remains the world's greatest experiment. We are a melting pot of cultures, people and religions. But we are all Americans, and that should be the one thing we hold on to and build from.
I wonder, 50 years from now, if we will ever learn to embrace our similarities and accept our differences.
Ernie Brown Jr., a regional editor at The Vindicator, writes a monthly minority-affairs column. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Nice try Ernie, but so long as the media will pay Jesse, Al, Oprah, and Jess-Al-Oprah wannabes millions and millions of dollars to find imaginary racism hiding around every corner, they will find it.
Hmmm, imaginary racism?
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Keep living in the past and keep teaching black children how bad some white people are (they won't know which white people), and see if that helps their future. How long must you be a victim? What satisfaction do you and Mr. Hathorn get being a victim? Be glad you're living in America, where everyone has a chance to succeed, if they really want to. Forget slavery and forget the fifties, they're gone. Gone.
And don't say white people don't know what it's like to not be free and not be able to go into certain places. Try as a white person to walk through any inner city neighborhood in a America.
if one may make a modest suggestion, is it not long past the time where we may assess our fellows based upon the content of their character and not the color of their skin? I seem to recall a very famous speech where that line was used.
But now we are told that we MUST assess others on the color of their skins. That's the "reasoning" behind all the Affirmative Action stuff. We must, for example, permit some school kids to behave in ways that prevent their classmates from learning, lest we employ color-blind disciplinary procedures that, sorry, lead to "disproportionate impact" with respect to certain "protected classes". Really.
In fact, the whole concept of "protected classes" flies in the face of equal justice, yet the slimy thug named Eric Holder and his co-thieves threaten the full weight of the federal Stasi against those who intend to employ color-blind standards.
How about we speak openly and honestly of the fact that a white person is about four times more likely to be a victim of an attack by a black person, than a black person is to be the victim of an attack by a white. It's not a secret. And that's ignoring for the moment that a Hispanic will be classed as white if an assailant, but black if a victim. Also not a secret, but you won't hear Obama or NBC mentioning it.
Perhaps we could also mention some cultural issues. Like the hideous rate of illegitimacy in the black community, and with no shame attached. Why is that? It makes for a lousy community, and raises a generation of thugs and 30-year-old grandmothers.
Yet to hear some speak, it's still the height of the Jim Crow laws that the Democrats enacted in the Deep South or the big Klan detachment in Niles. Yet the Panthers get a pass for voter intimidation.
papa, I 'm hoping for Dr. Ben Carson to run for president, and I would vote for him to become our next president. Would you vote for him?
Me too.
papa, You don't need to say you don't watch FOX News, it's obvious. The only things you and other liberal/democrats know is what they want you to know. This is why the left is afraid of FOX News, they can't stop them from letting people from hearing things they don't want you to know. But, back to Dr. Ben Carson. He's a black man who appears to be very qualified to be president. So, I don't think I'm a racist since I would vote for Dr. Ben Carson. You must ask yourself, since you accused us repubs of not approving of President Obama because he is a black man, if you don't vote for Dr. Ben Carson is it because he's a black man?
Since the people who oppose Obama are labeled racists, then those who oppose Dr. Ben Carson must also be racists.
papa, What does it matter what he says? You're calling us repubs racists for not agreeing with President Obama because he's black. Not because of his lack of presidential leadership. So if you want to accuse repubs of racism because we're white and he's black as our reason for not supporting him, then you and most lib/democrats must be racist if they don't support Dr. Ben Carson.
Dr. Ben Carson appears on many news channels, but for ease of learning about this man, please Google Dr. Ben Carson and self educate yourself.
your record on racism is well known Steivo. Carson is your token. BTW, what makes Carson qualified as POTUS? Just curious. You always say that Obama is just a community organizer who is unqualified, so what political experience does Carson have? Was he a mayor somewhere? Governor? Anything?
dontbeafool, Not steivo, but token or not he's still black and us repubs would vote for him. Why is he qualified? Common sense ideas and his mind wasn't shaped by some radicals. Dontbeafool., it appears you're already not supporting Dr. Ben Carson. Is it because he's black or because he's not a lib/democrat and it doesn't matter how qualified he is? Your mind is already made up.
I will tell you straight up it is because his views are way too far too the right AND he doesn't have any political experience. I believe that a lot of conservatives probably would vote for him, but when the curtain is closed, I don't thing EIVO would. He would pull the lever for Paul, Cruz, or Perry. He would tell MPK that he played the race card, or that racism doesn't really exist. I will vote Warren if she decides to run. Anyone against Wall Street criminals is good enough for me.
dontbeafool, I'll tell you and papa straight up, president Obama's views are way too far to the left and he didn't have any leadership responsibilities in his career. Now, does this still make me a racist for not liking President Obama's policies and views? If I understand this correctly, steivo,myself and other repubs are racist because we don't like our President because he's black,but you,papa and lib/democrats are not racist for not liking a conservative black man? Whew!
One more question for you dontbeafool, which one of his views is way too far right? And you don't need political experience if you know how to lead and your a problem solver.
Now you put words in my mouth. Where did I say that you and every anti Obama repub is racist? I was quite specific who I believe is a racist, and you were not that person. I hear it all the time that Obama is nothing more than a community organizer, despite his political experience, and he is not qualified. But your candidate has theories with no experience, but that is enough. When your candidate has no experience, you just say he is unshaped by radicals.
dontbeafool, you stated that Dr.Ben Carson's views were way too far right. Please tell me which view. I never used the word every.
He doesn't believe in for profit insurance companies. Compares gays to pedophiles. Said Obamacare is the worst thing since slavery. Praised Putin on anti American comments. Just a few. There are some of his points that I do agree with, but he is just too far on the right for my taste. And you didn't say EVERY, you said "STEIVO, MYSELF, and OTHER REPUBS, which I did not say anywhere. Of course, despite what eivo claims, racism does exist. Are there republican racist? Yes. Are there Dem racists? Sure are. Are there republicans who hate Obama simply for his policies and not his skin color? Yep. Are there Repubs out there who hate Obama just because he is black? You bet your backside.
dontbeafool, Thanks for the decent back and forth. I'd bet if you took a test on conservative and liberal views, you'd find out your closer to being a conservative than a liberal. Take care.
papa, you must live in a big clock.
But in addition to Ben Carson there is Allen West, Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice, etc., etc, etc.
Good chat borylie. I'm not going to be happy with any candidate, simply because it doesn't matter who gets in office. The system is broken and currupt, and even if an "honest" person happened to get in as president, the corrupt would end up destroying him or her because the corrupt will stop at nothing, and have no limits as to what they would do to achieve making money for themselves.
This is the worst case of revisionist history in history. The Jobs Act was passed with overwhelming Republican support despite Democratic resistance.
one suspects that the only thing in the universe dumber than an Establishment Republican, is a Democrat. Are you guys on a low-oxygen/high carbon monoxide gas mask routine? Or do you breed for stupidity? is it a genetic mutation?
LiarCare is nothing more than another giant entitlement program in the teeth of runaway deficits. It's another freebie for freeloaders who refuse to work under any conditions. It would have been easy to pass a law to take care of pre-existing conditions instead of this monstrosity. People should be allowed to purchase whatever kind of insurance policy they like without some government bureaucrat deeming their choice "junk". The only ones that like this stupid LiarCare are those that are getting it for free. Everyone else is paying more for the same(or lesser) insurance they had before. The whole stupid law is despicable.
There are not many who agree with you papa!
"Monday, July 14, 2014
Favorable views of the national health care law now tie their low for the year, but more voters than ever say the law has had no impact on them.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 39% of Likely U.S. Voters share a favorable opinion of the health care law, while 54% view it unfavorably. This includes 13% with a Very Favorable opinion and 38% with a Very Unfavorable one."
63 people called.
As a white middle aged man, I say 'Right On' Ernie Brown Jr. Great article.
"But if we don't have that conversation in a meaningful way, without any preconceived ideas or agendas, the divide between the races won't close."
-I am in total agreement, especially if we can have a bit of a laugh or two as we go.
I very much appreciate your articles.
Civil Rights growth will always be stunted until trying a case in the Supreme court costs $10,000 dollars. The people that need relief cannot afford it. Compare that cost with the average court cost to see any other type judge in a court. Then you will see the Racial Injustice..

Supermodel Kate Moss revealed that the two tiny bird tattoos on her back were put there by famous British artist Lucian Freud, grandson of Sigmund Freud.
Supermodel Kate Moss has revealed the bird tattoos on her back were inked by late British painter Lucian Freud, grandson of the famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.
The blonde beauty got to know the portrait artist in 2002 when she agreed to pose nude for him while pregnant with her daughter Lila Grace. Moss was fascinated to learn Freud tattooed sailors during his stint in the Merchant Navy during World War II, and was thrilled when he offered to etch two tiny swallows on her back.
She recalls, "He told me about when he was in the Navy, when he was 19 or something, and he used to do all of the tattoos for the sailors. And I said, 'Oh my God, that's amazing.' And he went, 'I can do you one. What would you like? Would you like creatures of the animal kingdom?' I said I liked birds and he replied, 'I've done birds. I've got it in my book.' And he pointed down at a painting of a chicken upside down in a bucket. And I said, 'No, I'm not having that.' And then he said, 'Maybe I should just do you.' And I thought, I'm not going to have a girl on my a**e. So we decided to do a flock of birds."
Moss is convinced the designs at the base of her spine are priceless, telling Vanity Fair, "I mean, it's an original Freud. I wonder how much a collector would pay for that? A few million? If it all goes horribly wrong I could get a skin graft and sell it. It's probably the only one on skin that's still around, because when he was in the Navy he was about 19. Can you imagine?" Moss also has an anchor tattoo on her wrist as well as a heart and star design. Freud's painting of Moss showing off her baby bump while reclining naked sold for $6.2 million at auction in 2005.

CAPE CORAL, Fla.- Cape Coral Police Detectives seized more than 57 pounds of raw marijuana and $13,000 in cash yesterday from a grow house at 4114 East Gator Circle - minutes from Island Coast High School.
WINK News is learning the grow house operation is taking money out of your wallet.
When police arrived, they found more than 57 pounds of pot worth about $150,000. The sign outside says 'home sweet home' but inside Cape Coral Police say they found a massive marijuana operation, more than 57 pounds of pot and $13,000 in cash.
According to the police report, the woman inside, Luisa Bado originally told officers, "Yes you can come in, there is nothing illegal inside."
An LCEC employee checking meters discovered someone was diverting power to the home. Something that's not only illegal but dangerous.
"Any normal person tampering with their meter, it could injure them or even kill them," said LCEC spokeswoman Karen Ryan. WINK News found out, it also costs you! "All customers share in the costs, so anytime someones stealing electricity, that cost is passed on to other customers."
Inside police found garbage bags containing marijuana, high-power light bulbs, fans and a humidifier. According to the police report the den of the home was transformed into a marijuana drying room with clippings hanging from twine on the walls.
The home sits minutes from Island Coast High School. Parents have mixed reactions about a drug home being found so close.
"It's going to happen regardless of where its at regardless if its near a school or not," said one parent.
"Your kids are going to the school. You don't want that around here," said another.
Police believe the home was rented for the specific purpose of becoming a grow house. They are now investigating to see if it's related to any other operation.

Summary: A runaway bestseller in Britain with over 100,000 copies sold, a riveting historical mystery in the tradition of Kate Morton Auction house appraiser Jude leaves London for her dream job at Starbrough Hall, an estate in the countryside, examining and pricing the manuscripts and instruments of an eighteenth-century astronomer. She is welcomed by Chantal Wickham and Jude feels close to the old woman at once: they have both lost their husbands. Hard times have forced the Wickham family to sell the astronomer's work, their land and with it, the timeworn tower that lies nearby. The tower was built as an observatory for astronomer Anthony Wickham and his daughter Esther, and it served as the setting for their most incredible discoveries. Though Jude is far away from her life in London, her arrival at Starbrough Hall brings a host of childhood memories. She meets Euan, a famed writer and naturalist who lives in the gamekeeper's cottage at the foot of the tower, where Jude's grandfather once lived. And a nightmare begins to haunt her six-year-old niece, the same nightmare Jude herself had years ago. Is it possible that the dreams are passed down from one generation to the next? What secrets does the tower hold? And will Jude unearth them before it's too late?

VAT (általános forgalmi adó - áfa) is 27 percent in Hungary, the highest in Europe. There is, however, a reduced rate of 18 percent for dairy products, baked goods and central heating, while medicine, Braille equipment, newspapers, books and sheet music are taxed at five percent. VAT is always added to a bill, and shops display prices inclusive of VAT.
There has been no audiovisual tax or TV licence in Hungary since 2002; this is now funded by the government through taxation.
Stamp duty is charged when property is acquired through purchase, inheritance or as a gift. The rate is four percent.
Non-EU citizens who do not have a residency permit must acquire a permit before they can buy property in Hungary, and foreigners are not allowed to buy agricultural land.
Stamp duty is required once the council has registered the purchase. The new owners then receive a postal bill (sárga csekk) in the post. There is a tight deadline for payment.
