Replace conventional light switches with dimmers
Replacing conventional light switches with dimmers can help you set a nice mood lighting. However, dimmer switches won't work with all light bulbs. Dimmer switches are available in several styles. The least expensive ones are dial-shaped knobs. They cost around $1.75. With knobs, "you have to adjust the light (level) every time you turn it on," said Doug Beach, the store manager at Lamps Plus in Fresno, Calif. "You also have to click it off to be sure the lights are off." There also are dimmers that look like standard light switches. Some allow you to gradually toggle up and down for different degrees of light. If your other switches are the standard-toggle ones, these dimmers will blend right in, he says. However, you still have to adjust the light level when you turn them on and make sure they're clicked off.
Massachusetts Governor Patrick Launches Energy Efficiency Campaign ...
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick helps launch myenergystar.com's energy efficiency campaign called "Start Small, Save Big" by overseeing the changing of the 1000 lightbulbs at the Statehouse from incandescent to compact fluorescent lightbulbs saving taxpayers money and helping the environment. Boston, Mass. (PRWEB) April 20, 2007 -- Issuing a proclamation calling on all Massachusetts citizens to make reductions in the amount of energy we use to collectively reduce global warming, Governor Deval Patrick took a step towards energy efficiency by changing the bulbs in his own office from incandescent to Energy Star-qualified compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) and kicked off an afternoon of light-bulb changing throughout the State House. Joined by Senate President Therese Murray, House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi, and Energy Secretary Ian Bowles, the Governor said, "Our commitment to cost and energy savings starts right here - quite literally - in my office.
Boy falls into sewer, traceless
Ghaziabad, April 17: A 12-year-old boy fell into a deep sewer while playing here today, triggering a massive search by emergency workers and Army personnel who were so far unable to locate him.
Aas Mohammad fell into the 15-foot-deep open manhole in Islamnagar area this morning and the local authorities after failing to find him called in the Army for rescue operation.
However, the rescue teams were virtually groping in the dark even after a 12-hour long search and they were unable to locate him because of the heavy flow of water in the sewer said to be four-kilometre-long.
An engineering detachment and two medical teams of the Army, that had rushed in from Delhi and Meerut, were on the job despite facing early difficulties in getting the sitemap of the drain and water lines from local authorities.
At 25, ex-Endicott star Currier already a head coach
Walking the walk right off the bat with 14- to 18-hour workdays, Quick and Currier brought in five freshmen who helped Division 3 Daniel Webster garner six victories this past season. Currier also got a taste of the top spot when Quick took a two-week mid-season sabbatical, holding the reins on an interim basis.
Currier will be hitting the road hard in search of talent. He already landed two Salem High stars, Chris Hanson and Nick Linear, who led the Witches over Andover in the Division 1 North state tourney.
"Any time you take over an 0-25 program, you know you need new faces," Currier said. "And talent-wise, it's hard to win with freshmen. We've learned that. But now that they're a year older and seasoned, we're looking to them to be floor leaders. They're up to the challenge."
Point guard Jamie Bryant (15.7 points a game) is pegged to be one of the focal points, as will senior Ryan Middlemiss of Methuen.
