I was thinking of buying zwave switches for my house but I don't want
to invest $2,000 in switches that will be useless if incandescent
bulbs are banned. CFL lights cannot be dimmed without special ballasts
and special dimmers.

Any thoughts?

was accordingly
done, and the notion complied with throughout the town. But parents
found little or no occasion for the exercise of government in the case.
The young people declared themselves convinced by what they had heard
from the pulpit, and were willing of themselves to comply with the
counsel that had been given: and it was immediately, and, I suppose,
almost universally, complied with; and there was a thorough reformation
of these disorders thenceforward, which has continued ever since.

Presently after this, there began to appear a remarkable religious
concern at a little village belonging to the congregation called
Pascommuck, where a few families were settled, at about three miles
distance from the main body of the town. At this place, a number of
persons seemed to be savingly wrought upon. In the April following, anno
1734, there happened a very sudden and awful death of a young man in the
bloom of his youth; who being violently seized with a pleurisy, and
taken immediately very delirious, died in about two days; which
(together with what was preached publicly on that occasion) much
affected many young people. This was followed with another death of a
young married woman, who had been considerably exercised in mind, about
the salvation of her soul, before sh

313. Sound opinions of the people.--Civil wars are the greatest of evils.
They are inevitable, if we wish to reward desert; for all will say they are
deserving. The evil we have to fear from a fool who succeeds by right of
birth, is neither so great nor so sure.

314. God has created all for Himself. He has bestowed upon Himself the power
of pain and pleasure.

You can apply it to God, or to yourself. If to God, the Gospel is the rule.
If to yourself, you will take the place of God. As God is surrounded by
persons full of charity, who ask of Him the blessings of charity that are in
His power, so... recognise, then, and learn that you are only a king of
lust, and take the ways of lust.

315. The reason of effects.--It is wonderful that men would not have me
honour a man clothed in brocade and followed by seven or eight lackeys! Why!
He will have me thrashed, if I do not salute him. This custom is a farce. It
is the same with a horse in fine trappings in comparison with another!
Montaigne is a fool not to see what difference there is, to wonder at our
finding any, and to ask the reason. "Indeed," says he, "how comes it,"
etc....

316. Sound opinions of the people.--To be spruce is not altogether foolish,
for it proves that a great number of people work for one. It shows by one's
hair, that one has a valet

many false miracles,
false revelations, sorceries, etc., it has seemed to me that the true cause
is that there are some true; for it would not be possible that there should
be so many false miracles, if there were none true, nor so many false
revelations, if there were none true, nor so many false religions, if there
were not one true. For if there had never been all this, it is almost
impossible that men should have imagined it, and still more impossible that
so many others should have believed it. But as there have been very great
things true, and as they have been believed by great men, this impression
has been the cause that nearly everybody is rendered capable of believing
also the false. And thus, instead of concluding that there are no true
miracles, since there are so many false, it must be said, on the contrary,
that there are true miracles, since there are so many false; and that there
are false ones only because there are true; and that in the same way there
are false religions because there is one true.--Objection to this: savages
have a religion. But this is because they have heard the true spoken of, as
appears by the cross of Saint Andrew, the Deluge, circumcision, etc. This
arises from the fact that the human mind,

So just go with the Z-Wave relay switches. I use them for all my
installations and am very happy with them. I was doing a whole house
installation for a client and I really started to think about switches and
why I want to go with dimmers. I didn't find many instances where I'd
necessarily want dimmers. Dining room maybe, or a home theatre room, but,
really, WHERE ELSE? So I got two dimmers and a bunch of relay swithes and it
all works great.
