The best article I've seen so far on Bishop Long


 Bishop Eddie Long Accused of Sexual Misconduct goes into more detail regarding how Long allegedly preyed on the young men, gained their confidence, and persuaded them to engage in sexual conduct with him. Funnily (or not) enough, it is virtually identical to the process used by pimps to entice young girls into prostitution, except that these young men got a far more expensive persuasion program (international travel, fancy hotels, fine dining, etc.) compared to their counterparts.

Smarter power consumption


 A $10 Defense Against Vampire Electronics could help conserve electricity and money. I'd like to see multi-gang outlets that can tell the difference between powered-on power usage and powered-off usage and deny power to those items when they're off. I think that would be a smarter, more efficient approach. In the meantime, this - or unplugging - is a way to reduce vampire power usage.
