Mole Richardson Type 407, Baby Solar Spot, Lighting Bulb Refuses To Come Out

Mole Richardson Type 407, Baby Solar Spot, Lighting Bulb Refuses To Come Out

Customer complaint:  Can not remove the light bulb out of a Mole Richardson Baby Solar Spot.  It appears to be stuck. Solution:   I tried to remove the bulb by wedging a straight blade screwdriver between the socket and porcelain bulb base.  The bulb was locked into the socket.  I called Mole Richardson and explained this problem to them.  I was told that some times the bulb contacts become pitted and make bulb removal difficult.  I would have to disassemble the…

Collective Intelligence May Have Saved 2012 Election

Collective Intelligence May Have Saved 2012 Election

Prior to the 2012 presidential election I had written some blog articles that were pretty critical of some individual’s intellectual process for supporting a candidate. party and party platform.  I had been following the political happenings prior to the election and my perception was this election was going to be close.  Me and my friends were even scared that Romney would win and set our county back into more oligarch control.  I was vastly surprised, almost shocked, at the election…

Repair Of Wii Game Console Sensor Bar

Repair Of Wii Game Console Sensor Bar

My daughter came to me complaining that our cat had chewed into the Wii sensor bar and it now fails to work.  I looked at the cable and indeed the cat had chewed right through the outer insulation and right into the wires.  Just over three feet nearest the antenna was damaged in about three places.  The remedy was to cut the wire at the last break and solder it into the bar. I was later to find out that…

AP Pole Shows Romney Better At Cutting Logjam?

AP Pole Shows Romney Better At Cutting Logjam?

The Orange County Register (Calif), reports (Nov.1, 2012, News 8) that Romney would do better than Obama at breaking the logjam in Washington.  The difference was ten percent.   I believe that news reports have revealed that the Tea Party, a right side wing nuts of the GOP party, decided on the political tactic to obstruct, stop any cooperation with the Democrats.  What might this suggest of the people participating in the pole?  I might suspect stupid.

Some Thinks To Consider Prior To Voting In November Election

Any political party in one’s mind is evaluated by many criteria and obviously some are more important than others.  If you talk to any individual they typically chose one principal point that they feel most important as an election issue.  In this election many people feel that the economy is the most important issue but not all.  When you talk to individuals from different ethnic groups you might hear that immigration issues seem more important than the economy.  Many women…
