Maine Solar House: “Yep you heard it right its an actual functioning solar house that not only generates its own energy but whatever energy it produces in excess gets directed to the grid. This idea has always been on my mind I hope that in the future i can equip my house with solar electric and solar thermal panels (Hurricane resistant of course) to economize money and leave a smaller footprint (once a boy scout always a boy scout).

CSI making DNA Interesting!

Classes give budding CSIs a reality check -: “Experts say curtailing some of the myths surrounding forensic science is becoming even more important because of what they call the “CSI effect” — the shows are giving juries unrealistic expectations of what their local crime labs are capable of doing.” This is something we have talked and fear, the fact that people are starting to believe Crime Labs are as sophisticated and Fun as the ones we see on TV every week. This has been known as the “CSI Effect” affecting jurors and judges all over the country. I have to say that CSI is one of my Favorite TV Series but this new phenomenon is making me shaky. Just remember people that TV is TV and Real life Crimes don’t take 1 Hour to be solved.
