The Insider | Paul Kominek
The Travel Almanac , the newest of a growing crop of compact niche magazines (see: Apartamento , Boat and Afterzine ), looks at the art of travel through the perspectives of artists, musicians, writers and filmmakers who are well, well-traveled. The journal was founded two years ago by Paul Kominek, a musician and sometime D.J. from Germany, with the help of his friend John Roberts, an American musician who, like Kominek, lives in Berlin. “By using the topic of traveling as an overarching theme, it gave us an amazing excuse to ask high-profile artists or cultural icons questions that avoid the obligatory ‘What do you do?’ and ‘How did you get started?’ and instead ask about different aspects of their lives that we personally find more interesting,” says Kominek. The first volume, on Japan, debuted this spring. The cover is printed on textured German cardstock, the interior pages on creamy Swedish drawing paper. It features tips from the likes of David Lynch, James Murphy and Javier Peres, as well as some handsome photographs of traditional Japanese inns, called “ryokans.” T turned the tables on Kominek and asked for his own travel preferences, and his Berlin mainstays.
Favorite excursions: There are so many beautiful places in the world, and I still have just seen little bits of it, but Japan definitely ranks very high on the list. I really admire the culture, the food, and above all their unique connection to nature and how it affects everyday life. As for urban experiences, I am fascinated by Mexico City and can’t wait to go back, as there is a very inspiring energy within this bustling mega-city.
Suitcase contents: I prefer to travel light whenever I can, but one thing that always makes it in my bag is a small buckwheat pillow. The only way to be sure to relax my head and neck during long flights.
Funniest traveling memory: A while ago, before John and I were good friends and began working on the magazine together, we were booked to D.J. in Cologne at the same party. Through some sort of mishap with the hotel we ended up having to stay in the same room, as the rest of the rooms were fully booked. We spent most of the night talking about our travel anxieties and eating burgers from McDonald’s, which ended up being really nice. I guess this could be considered our first brainstorming session for the magazine.

LED Lights For Your Boat: Green Boating Upgrade | Boat Trader ...
New boat builders have had to improve their products to differentiate themselves in the marketplace. High-end builders like Sabre, Trinity, Morris Yachts, Tiara, Oyster, Nordhaven,Hatteras, and SeaRay, just to name a few… now install Light-Emitting-Diodes or LED lighting as standard equipment on their vessels. Not only are the lights more energy efficient than their halogen predecessors and miles ahead of incandescent, but they are cooler—giving off less heat. The bottom line is, better equipment such as LED lighting adds more value to these boats and differentiates them from the competition. So, why not upgrade your used boat to LED lights, adding value and improving efficiency?
The green benefits are significant: LED lighting draws approximately 75% less power than halogen bulbs for the equivalent amount of illumination. You will be using less power and burn less fossil fuel (you won’t have to run your engine or genset as often or as long to charge the batteries) and you will also be cooler–LED lights emit less than 1/3 the heat of halogen bulbs. If you add a solar power battery charger you will become even greener.
To find out about the recent advances in LEDs, the cost, and installation options I turned to lighting engineer Mike Moriarty at IMTRA—a leading manufacturer of marine lighting located in New Bedford, MA. “IMTRA originally made halogen lights, but over the last seven years LED lighting has grown to be about 85% of our total lighting business”, says Mike. “Since we already had the halogen fixtures we began selling LED bulbs that would fit the same or similar fixtures, making conversions simpler and less costly.”
Replacing a halogen bulb with an LED bulb is a minor project and the most basic option. Replacing the lamp fixture itself to one designed for LEDs (IMTRA makes these as well and in the same sizes that will fit the existing cutouts) is the next level. In addition to a more modern look, the LED fixture is designed to more effectively disperse heat, resulting in fixtures that last a minimum 50,000 hours. The final option to becoming completely LED compliant is to run an additional duplex signal wire to all the LED fixtures to facilitate dimming. Running new wires is something that is not always easy in a used boat. Power and MotorYacht magazine produced an article in August of 2009 where a Tiara 3600 was converted and the consensus was that it took 3 advanced DIY capable people 7 hours to do a full LED makeover.
