    i just installed a couple of these in my lamp.

    i had two lamps on a floor lamp in my living room.

    that, and the windows is my only source of lighting in here.

    Hey Jim,

    Just wondering if you could give me a very rough guesstimate of a percentage difference of heat output between CFL and LED vs. standard bulbs? I'm not sure if I'm asking that right, so I'll try for an example:

    Lady Lee said: Generate 70 percent less heat, so they're safer to operate and can cut energy costs associated with home cooling.

    So if that figure is correct, and a CF generates 70% less heat than a conventional bulb (personally I think that percentage is higher given the one that we have, it runs very cool), would an LED generate something like 60% less heat? Or are they closer in heat output to a regular bulb?

    Thanks

    i had 15 to reset to daylight saving time last night.

    there was the cook stove, coffee maker, mivrowave, tvs, alarm clocks, electric clocks, wind up clocks, car clocks, wrist watch.

    the dvd player and computers did it automatically.

    the Hoosier state had its own unique and complex time system

    Yep, we were...special. We even have our own (now useless) setting in Windows just for Indiana.

    it's a memoir of a girl growing up jw.

    if you are ever feeling sentimental and missing your jw days, this book is a must read.

    it truly reinforces why i'm out.

    Do you mean "Joy" Castro? She is the author of "The Truth Book". My wife and I met her recently at a book signing where we purchased her book. Very nice and kind person. But also, she exudes this sort of...inner strength. Not surprising given what she went through. A person would either go through what she did and become a completely broken shell or do the opposite and come out of it like tempered steel. I'm glad for her that she has been able push through her past to make a success of her life.

    check out the news on this recent press release from the us census bureau.

    here's the google news listing for it (so you can see all the places this story has been covered): click here.. .

    lest anybody think the society is taking a softer stance on this issue, well, they're not.

    how it puts you in contact with "worldly people," damages your spirituality, demonstrates independent thinking,

    This is exactly what it did for me. Going into college a few years ago, I was only inactive, but that was for many reasons, including physical health and depression. However, at the time, I still felt that the society had the truuf. I even placed literature with a classmate my first semester (shame on me, and I hope she threw it in the trash). Now, I'm D.A.d and hate the bastard of an organization because I have finally allowed myself to think for myself. So, in effect, they are exactly right in saying what they do about the "dangers" of college. I'm so glad I didn't listen to them but went to school anyway.
