In June 1943, students at the Grace Arents School celebrated the end of the school year. The Oregon Hill school, which opened in 1911, honored the philanthropist for her donation of the land and $5,000 toward the building. After decades as an elementary school and later a special education school, the building has housed Open High School since 1989. 

In October 1949, an organ grinder and his monkey entertained a young girl at the State Fair, held at the Atlantic Rural Exposition fairgrounds. The fair’s array of exhibits and events included motorcycle races, driving safety instruction from the state police and displays of the latest household inventions.

We test dimmability by dialing each bulb down on three different switches: two sliders from Lutron and Leviton designed for use with LEDs, and an old Lutron rotary dial intended for incandescents only. Electromagnetic interference from dimmer switches like those can cause poorly made LEDs to flicker and buzz, but that wasn’t a problem with the GE Basic LED — it dimmed perfectly well on all three of my switches, no flickering or buzzing whatsoever.

When we asked for your questions about light bulbs, we got an earful. So we called in Noah Horowitz, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council’s Center for Energy Efficiency, to answer your most frequently asked questions.

For example, instead of lighting a pathway on a campground or in a parking lot, the pathway could be created with white gravel, which reflects the ambient light and “illuminates” the path. This simple solution to a common problem doesn’t disrupt wildlife or diminish the outdoor experience.

In August 1948, David Singleton fished below the spillway at Birchin Lake in Nottoway County. The soldier from Durham, N.C., eventually was rewarded with a catch of a 4-pound catfish.

Police received a call of shots fired around 4:50 p.m. Upon arrival, officers canvassing the area found several shell casings at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Riverview Place.

In addition, the HL has a unique feature for an LED tube retrofit lamp in that it is compatible with legacy, triac, phase-controlled dimmer switches. Since I discovered just how expensive it is to add the control equipment for 0-10V dimming of LED lights when researching the Cree LS series dimmability (http://bit.ly/1IszbLI), I have a newfound respect for the simplicity of dimming with triacs. I used to think triacs were electrically noisy and a crude way to dim a light, but I now understand the advantage of not having to string a separate line for dimming control information.
