General Electric showcased their new prototype, to go on sale next year, at the Light Fair industry conference in Las Vegas.


GE ... uses what is called an active "synthetic jet" technology that produces an air flow inside the lamp, pulling the hot air out and creating a cooling air current.


I don't know about you, but my experience to date with advanced LED bulbs has been disappointing. One lasted overnight, at least the company replaced it. In the fixture above my head the LED bulb is barely visible, compared to the compact fluorescents. It got dim and purple-pink after a few months. The ads say stuff like "lasts ten years". LOL They break if you drop them and "burn out" if the fixture doesn't have outstanding air flow.

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…
