New Cold Cathode Dimmable and LED Bulbs
For all of the people who have searched for an energy-saving replacement bulb to use in dimmable chandelier fixtures, WattBusters finally has the ticket. We just acquired the TCP cold cathode line of light bulbs. The bulbs are excellent for dimming and rapid on/off cycling applications and they use either 3 or 5 Watts. Light output is roughly equivalent to 15 - 30 Watt incandescent bulbs.

The FlameTip series is a sharp looking bulb that comes in medium or candelabra base and has clear, frosted or white coatings. The bulbs dim very smoothly and are a great energy-saver for any multi-light chandelier. The rated life is 25,000 hours so you pretty much install them and forget them.

Re: Goldman Sachs, BP Met With Derivative Regulators on Dodd-Frank
Yes, I saw this and was unimpressed to be frank. I would dispute the size of the derivatives markets as they are not using the "double counting" standard which

Iraq cuts Kurdish fuel supplies by 50%
Iraq's oil ministry has cut supplies of some fuel products to the northern Kurdish region by 50% in response to the Kurds selling what they say is excess kerosene, fuel waste and naptha to Iran, Reuters has reported. The decision was ordered by oil minister Hussain Al Shahristani, ministry documents showed. "Based on instructions from the oil minister, it was decided to cut the allocation of kerosene and diesel fuel sent to provinces in the Kurdish region by 50% until further notice," one document said.

Car Wars - Hummer vs. Hoopty
What kind of vehicle do you drive? Why did you choose that particular vehicle? Answering those two simple questions may open a window into the inner workings of your mind. I was pondering my answers to the questions while stuck in the morning rush hour traffic around Detroit. As I sat, looking straight into the bumper of a 2003 Hummer, I knew Mad Max would have been proud of me.

My 1993 Tercel (i.e. Hoopty: beat up old car with a dull paint job and no hubcaps) braves the rush hour traffic and does an admirable job. It's kind of ugly and extremely small but it doesn't cost much at all to own.
