Wild ride falls short for Flames in home opener

After the laser-lights had been shut off, the flashy introductions concluded, with that initial blush of fervent belief and a rapturous welcome still reverberating around the building, they had to go and spoil all the fun by actually playing a game.

You know, drop the puck, start the clock, keep score. That score of thing.

Now who's brilliant idea was that?

Rampant Optimism ran headlong into Stark Reality at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday night.

In the final analysis, a 5-3 empty-netter loss to the Crosby-less Pittsburgh Penguins flattered the Calgary Flames, although they'll argue long and loud about having the better of it through the first and third periods.

How Brent Sutter's boys were actually in a position to perhaps steal at least a point -- maybe, gasp!, even two -- in a frantic finish is one of those mysteries, like crop circles or Stonehenge, that defy rational explanation. Give 'em props for persistence,1200LM Bicycle light,LED flashlight,LED headlamp,hid,bike light,bicycle light if anything.

Third-period snipes by Rene Bourque and, with 3: 37 left in the third period, Olli Jokinen, turned a rout into a nail-biter. In the final,Has anyone had any experience with this led light bulbs light? frantic minute, with six attackers on the ice, they were hunting for the improbable, Jokinen spinning to throw the puck at the net, and Curtis Glencross rooting industriously around for leftovers.

It would've been one amazing comeback for the locals. But extremely hard on the Penguins. The home side was outshot by virtually a 2-1 count, 37-19.

Mark Giordano played as if he's had that A stitched on the left side of his chest since birth, ending up a plus-one with four blocks and an assist. Newcomer Lee Stempniak showed some bounce. And Glencross at least seemed royally PO'd by what was transpiring through that agonizingly-one-sided second period and acted accordingly, after scoring the Flames' first goal. Other than that,9 Dec 2010 – What would the perfect fluorescent lights be? nothing of real note.

A couple of energetic early shifts from Jarome Iginla and from then on the captain looked like, well,SST-50 1200umen r4購入 flashlight extremely bright, long throwing beam 100 meters diving. like a guy who's missed all of training camp tending to a bad back. Which, to be fair, is precisely what he is. Miikka Kiprusoff? By no means could he be blamed, but won't be receiving a Gold Star for Heroism, either.

Well,It Magicshine and laser gadgets, free shipping for all orders. look on the bright side. At least Sid the Kid wasn't out there to turn a PG rating into an R, Unsuitable for Anyone. And for some reason, Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma decided to plant Evgeni Malkin's tush to the pine for the last 11 minutes.

Simply overwhelmed through a 16-shot second period, the Flames wilted, cancelling out a Glencross season opener.

GreenStar Products Inc. wants to light the world.

The Boerne-based company that is moving its headquarters and U.S. manufacturing facility to San Antonio as one of CPS Energy's “new energy economy” partners is truly international.

GreenStar dates to a meeting in Milan, Italy, in July 2009 where the founders met. It's in the second phase of investment, and money is coming from places like Venezuela and Mexico. The company has divided the world into four markets — the United States/Canada, Latin America, India and Europe — and plans to sell to nearly every corner of the globe. It already manufactures in India as well.

The company was founded after a meeting in Milan between Boerne businessman Paul Duran (now GreenStar CEO and president) and Chuck Chakravarty, (now GreenStar's chief operating officer) a native of India who was living in Poland at the time.

The company basically combines technologies from Philips Lumileds Lighting Co. of California and Texas Instruments Inc. of Dallas with its own patents to manufacture two basic product lines: indoor and outdoor lights.

In agreeing to move its headquarters to San Antonio from Boerne, GreenStar initially will make at least 25,000 LED (light-emitting diode) streetlights in San Antonio for the city's streets.

The LED streetlights use 60 percent less energy than standard sodium lights. That energy savings can rise to 80 percent when a microprocessor is added that can dim or brighten the lights based on traffic and ambient light sensors. The lights are designed to last 12 to 15 years, cutting maintenance costs.

The sensors, which can detect colors, and microprocessors in the lights can communicate with other streetlights, like networks. The lights therefore eventually could be used for commercial security and law enforcement purposes, Chakravarty said. Remotely operated cameras could be plugged into USB outlets on light poles.

Its indoor lighting products are for warehouses, factories and parking garages.

The current GreenStar staff of 17 people in Boerne will move later this year to its new headquarters and plant at Alamo Downs Business Park in Northwest San Antonio, increasing its staff initially to more than 30. The company will be hiring sales personnel and electrical and test technicians.

After the company was founded by Duran and Chakravarty, the second round of investors included the Venezuelan family of Gabriel Senior, now chief financial officer and vice president for business development.

Other individual investors are José Antonio Fernández, chairman of Monterrey-based FEMSA, Mexico's largest beverage company, and Raúl Rodríguez Barocio, a former managing director of the North American Development Bank and now a University of the Incarnate Word professor.

More investment rounds will be needed as the company grows and more production plants are started, Senior said. At some point, the company could go public with a stock offering.

“The whole world of lighting will have to change,” Senior said. “LEDs will become mainstream.” Nations, both developed and developing, will be attracted to LED lighting because it can reduce the need for new power plants, Chakravarty said.

“Goodbye, Thomas Edison,” added Rod Gray, GreenStar executive vice president for sales and marketing. “Hello, LED.”

A Romantic Bedroom Makeover

Interior designer Emily A. Clark came to the rescue for one newlywed couple in need of a serious bedroom makeover. The couple's eggplant and lavender master bedroom looked like a little girl's room -- no surprise, since they were using her childhood furniture.

The couple wanted a room that felt more grown up. How'd they fare? You be the judge.

BEFORE: With little light from their table lamps and heavy dark drapes shutting out natural light, this master bedroom was dark and uninviting. The cluster of purple throw pillows only burdens the space, while the night stands look straight out of a college dorm room.

AFTER: Light and bright. Clark replaced the couple's fuddy-duddy bedframe with a bold black (and extra romantic!) canopy bed. She had fun with patterns too, choosing bedding in an elegant, not-too-feminine print. Pillows were custom ordered in Dwell Studio fabric and a monogrammed throw pillow adds just a bit of just-married cheer. A black and white rug breaks up the room without having to change the carpeting entirely.

Even though there was little space for a sitting area, Clark made room for a salvaged thrift store bench. We love that she snuck in extra drawer space by using small bureaus as nightstands. Add in a grown-up lamp and a pop of color thanks to red flowers and this space looks like a mature bedroom.
