Watt's New in Lighting - Fluorescent

The push to go “green” has many people turning to fluorescent lighting. Unlike other sources of light, fluorescent light is a function of its length. In essence, the longer the tube, the more light output (lumens). But long tubes didn’t fit into very many fixtures so the manufacturers were clever and twisted the tube into a spiral so that yo

The "F" Word

The "f" word I am referring to is "future". What were you thinking? Let's face it, most of us put off planning for the future. Why do today what you can do tomorrow, right? Well something recently caught my attention that I'd like to share with you, because I think everyone needs to plan for what's ahead.

I was approached last week by my sister-in-law, who gave me the incredible honor of becoming the godmother of my baby niece, Lillian. She an

Don't put too much information out on Facebook, MySpace, or LinkedIn or the world will be able to know all about you and tell all about you...At least that's what they tell you.

However, in my mind, it seems that a great deal of the lack of privacy

The Edge.

A scary, awesome place.

Rumor has it that people of long ago thought the world was flat. We've all heard this before. Everyone stayed in the safe middle because if you ventured too far you'd go over the edge. That was the prevailing philoso

New Friday/Saturday Night Preteen/Teen Hangout Opening September 17 & 18 (Town & Country)

Whitzend kidZone is a teacher-owned, students-inspired, drug, alcohol, smoke, bully and label-free preteen and teen hangout exclusively for ages 10-16, a demographic too old for Chucky Cheese and too young for everything else. It's a self-described Friday and Saturday night, nothing-fancy, old-fashioned living room-like hangout; a tree clubhouse without the tree. It has a comfy seating area for board games and video gaming, a computer area and Wi-Fi, a game area for foosball, mini arc… Continue
