Ok, so this year I went out to buy some more outside Christmas lights.
Much to my surprise, I could not find any REAL lights, just the fake led
lights. I looked at all the big box stores, including Lowe's, Home Depot,
and Target. All I could find was the fake led lights.

So, I bought a set of led lights strings with C7 led lights. 50
lights on a string, total wattage of 3.7 watts. They say these are
much cheaper to run because of the low wattage. But, I have seen that
you get what you pay for. These lights are dull and weak looking.

Does anyone here know of any store that still sells real outside Christmas
lights, or have they all been outlawed too ?

Thanks for any info on where I can purchase non-fake Christmas lights !!

How can you even think about using real Christmas tree lights, when some kid
in Nigeria is starving because of the global warming you have caused using
them. Thank God our government has better sense than you do, and seen fit to
outlaw all non energy saving light bulbs.
Oh, wait a minute, there is no actual global warming, and they're going to
repeal that bill? OK, never mind, Merry Christmas

Besides the fact that the comment was a sarcastic joke.... The reason is
because their government doesn't pay women that reproduce like rabbits
to raise their children. Here in the US we say "Go ahead and be a lazy
whore. Don't get a job, we will pay to take care of all your children."

Ah, a pair of "crainal-rectally inverted" bookends ;O)

When will you dumb humps figure out that it isn't the poor that is
screwing this country, it is "White Guys in Suits".

Take Obama's tax plan, please.

" . . .In fact, the only groups likely to face a tax increase are those
near the bottom of the income scale ‹ individuals who make less than
$20,000 and families with earnings below $40,000."
-----

"White Guys in Suits" strike again! So while you guys are sniveling
about the poor, the colored, and the illegals, fat cats are whistling
all the way to the bank.

Who are youguys, some kind of flag-wrapped agent provocateurs, à la
COINTELPRO (slander and murder), trying to misdirect people's attention
attention so that they won't notice that their pockets are being picked?

If you saw "Capitalism: A Love Story", then you also know that many
Mexicans are enticed into this country by meat packers, and others. If
the Mexicans become involved in union organizing, say for safer working
conditions, management just feeds them to ICE and has them deported.

When are yougoing to get it through your thick skulls that
illegals didn't send your jobs over seas? Illegals didn't block raising
oil spill liability from $75 million to $10 billion. Illegals didn't
propose weakening of the provision on derivatives trading in the
financial regulation bill banning Wall Street firms from acting as
brokers for most forms of derivatives trades. Illegals didn't start two
vanity wars costing trillion$ of dollar$ of debt and human suffering.
Illegals didn't change banking laws so that Goldman Sachs, A.I.G., et
al. could rip-off trillion$ from the tax payer's coffers, closing
businesses and throwing people out into the street. It wasn't illegals
who wrote a health care reform law that guaranteed that insurance
companies would make more money, win or lose. Illegals didn't allow
drilling off the southern coast without enviromenmental studies. It
isn't illegals who make cheap, nutritionless faux food for for your
children to eat. Illegals didn't pollute the oceans, doing away with a
free source of food. It isn't illegals who are going to rescind funding
for welfare and children's health programs in California. It isn't
illegals who pollute the air and the water, that tax payers have to
clean up. Illegal aliens don't foul forest streams with mountain top
removal, so that we can belch more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
It isn't illegals that say that the US must have 1000 military bases
around the world and spend half of the world's military budget. It
isn't illegals who stole our national honor at Abu Ghraib and
Guantanamo. It isn't illegals who disregard collateral damage (as
Timothy McVeigh called it) in Pakistan and Afghanistan. It wasn't
illegals that wrote NAFTA, that allows the US to dump tax subsidized
corn on the Mexican market, below the cost of production, resulting in
the loss of Mexican farm jobs and a loss of income to agricultural
families. No, it wasn't illegals. It was
"White Guys in Suits",
so if you have a bone to pick, go pick it with the "White Guys in Suits".

Mexicans lower the cost of living for Americans with low cost house
cleaning, gardening, childcare, and get sick harvesting your pesticide
laden food. No stinkin' "White Guy in a Suit" ever did that for you.

UV light, skin color linked

Variations due to geography

Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO ‹ Two San Francisco scientists using data from a NASA
satellite say they have discovered why people come in different colors.

Variations in human skin color are the result of adaptations to the
amount of ultraviolet light from the sun falling on different regions of
Earth, according to Nina Jablonski and George Chaplin, scientists with
the California Academy of Science.

People's bodies change their skin color over time to let in just the
right amount of UV light, which is key to having healthy babies.

UV light affects the skin's production of folate, part of the B vitamin
complex, and vitamin D-3, both of which are essential for having healthy
children.

Folate is necessary for the proper development of the nervous system in
fetuses and for sperm production in adult males. Vitamin D-3 helps build
and maintain strong bones and a healthy immune system.

But too much solar UV light can not only cause skin cancer, it can also
damage those chemicals, thereby hurting a person's chances for
reproductive success.

The scientists' finding may also explain why women tend to be
lighter-skinned than men. Lighter skin lets in more solar UV light,
increasing a woman's vitamin D-3 production, which helps the fetus grow
during pregnancy and helps nourish newborns through breast feeding.

UV light from the sun varies from region to region for reasons including
latitude, humidity and cloudiness.

Jablonski and Chaplin's discovery isn't entirely new. For a long time,
scientists have thought there was a correlation between UV light and
skin color, and they knew the light helped produce vitamin D and that it
could cause cancer.

"But this explanation was considered weak by some scientists because
skin cancer has little or no effect on people's ability to reproduce,
which is really the bottom line of every evolutionary spreadsheet,"
Jablonski said.

Jablonski developed the hypothesis that links UV light to reproduction
in 1991. The scientists analyzed published measurements of human skin
color from around the world and data from NASA's Total Ozone Mapping
Spectrometer satellite, which orbited Earth from 1978 to 1993 and
gathered direct UV measurements for the entire globe to find the
correlation between skin color and UV light.

Jablonski and Chaplin found that dark skin acts as a natural sunscreen
to help prevent UV light from breaking down folate, so it is helpful in
areas with a lot of sun. But in less sunny areas, dark skin screens out
too much sunlight, and can inhibit the production of vitamin D-3, so
lighter skin is helpful for reproductive success.

Skin color is based on the level of melanin, an organic molecule with an
undetermined chemical structure. Those with more melanin have darker
skin, and melanin levels are genetic. But the variations in skin color
are adaptations to solar UV light, not biological differences among
people, according to Jablonski and Chaplin.

"We're all the same under the skin," Jablonski said.

'Nuff said.

Thanks for that.

Just more evidence that the whole idea of "race" when applied to the
human species is pretty much scientifically discredited as being of any
consequence. Yes, there are biological differences between "races"
(e.g., susceptibility to sickle-cell anemia in blacks), but they're
mainly swamped by the overall similarities.

Hell, there was a time when it was widely accepted that different human
"races" couldn't even interbreed. (And not that long ago when it was
widely accepted that they *shouldn't* interbreed ...)

I accept some of those, and even some C9 LED ones. They accept artificial shells, which accommodate the aforementioned individual LED as the miniature ones. They aren't very bright, although the blush is good.
