How I Save $4,000/year The first thing I did when I received my first paycheck was pick my jaw up off the floor. Sure, I have had jobs before. But never have I had to pay taxes like I am now. I viewed this as a massive pay decrease and decided to find ways to cut my spending.
Below are a few of the very easy and very rewarding ways in which I did so. As promised, I did all of these without subtracting any value from my life. In fact, many of these increases in savings also increased my quality of life and happiness. However, our situations may be different so adjust accordingly!

EarthTalk: LED Light Bulbs More Efficient Than CFL's? Dear EarthTalk: What’s the story with LED light bulbs that are reputed to be even more energy-efficient than compact fluorescents? Perhaps the ultimate “alternative to the alternative,” the LED (light-emitting diode) light bulb may well dethrone the compact fluorescent (CFL) as king of the green lighting choices. But it has...- Antique Lighting Antiques -> Decorative Arts -> Lamps Whether you are trying to restore an older home and would like to keep it in the period style, or you just appreciate older light fixtures, antique lighting has much to offer.

How To Pick the Best Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb There's something about compact fluorescent (or CFL) bulbs and the light they put out. The light looks different from what we're used to with energy-wasting incandescent bulbs. Why is that? And is there a CFL that comes close to the light quality of incandescents? There are two ways to...

- Aquarium Lighting - What Are Your Options? Water quality (in which I include water movement) is top of the list in importance when it comes to keeping a saltwater aquarium. Closely following water quality is lighting, as much life on the reef depends on it. The lighting used for a reef aquarium is more intense than on any other type. The reason for this is that we are trying to simulate the sun as far as humanly possible. The lighting used on the reef aquarium is normally more towards the blue end of the colour spectrum as we are trying to produce the lighting colours present at between 10m and 30m in water depth.

- The Lighting Cycle - What Is It Our everyday lives are controlled by time. We may not like it but that is how it is. On the wild reef things are much the same. I know, reef life doesn’t have a lunch hour! What they do have is dawn, day, sunset and night. Life on the reef is controlled by these changes in light intensity. Daylight fish prepare to disappear into their secure holes when sunset arrives. Night life prepares to emerge. At dawn it reverses.
- Lighting And The Kelvin Scale The provision of light to a reef tank is a very important aspect and is only second to that of water quality. However providing lighting is not just about purchasing a metal halide, fluorescent tubes etc and placing them above the aquarium. We need to think about colour.

- Database Analysis Through Simulation Making adjustments to a database schema after it has gone into use is a daunting task. Whether it be because of efficiency issues or the incorporation of a new feature, this is a situation you should avoid at all costs. Often times, however, mistakes and inefficiencies are difficult to spot at implementation time. Only when your database has become populated, often by users who are counting on your applications to be reliable, do these things come to light. So what can you do? One solution is to run a simulation.
