Decorating your home's recreational space can be one of the most fun projects you'll ever undertake. It's got to be better than remodeling the bathroom, right? After all, no matter if you have a den, play room, home theater, or man cave, the end result will be a space where you spend many enjoyable hours doing what you love whether it's watching the latest action adventure flick, playing five card stud, or destroying your next-door neighbor on Mario Kart Wii.
The big attraction in this elegant game room is obviously the pool table kept carefully under wraps, but we love the warm wood, the expansive bar, and the natural modern pendant lighting, something not usually found in rec spaces which are often relegated to the basement. This genteel space is further enhanced by the pendants overhanging the pool table. These closely resemble our Krishna Pendant, part of our ever growing collection of Modern Pendants. This line of lighting is identified by sleek lines and simple cylindrical shades and have been designed for contemporary tastes and spaces.
The Krishna Modern Pendant comes in three sizes from a medium sized 16″ to a very generous 30″ shade. The outer shade is augmented by a smaller, inner shade that adds texture and depth to the overall look of the fixture. The Krishna comes in two sleek, modern finishes — black brass with a bronze shade or satin nickel with silver shade. There's also a matching Krishna Table Lamp!
Prefer something a bit smaller over the pool table or bar? Check out the Globe 1-Light Pendant which is fine flying solo or even better hung in pairs. The Globe Pendant features etched white glass to provide a soft glow of light within its 7″ diameter shade. It is available in a polished nickel or satin nickel finish to complement any modern home décor scheme.
Memorial Day is the perfect time to purchase new lights for your space during our annual Memorial Day Sale. Use the discount code MEMORIAL12 to take 10% off any applicable fixture. See website for details!

Thursday we presented you with a simple bedside vignette; it had stark white walls that made a big impact using three accent colors. Today we feature another bedroom photo from Apartment Therapy, but this one is definitely not lacking in wall color. Normally design experts will tell you to avoid sticking to one color in a room, but we couldn't resist this suite, bathed in all sorts of green shades. There is nothing better than a tastefully decorated bedroom that showcases different design styles, right?Read More

Luxurious – a term that defines anything fabulous, flashy and essentially comfortable. It also happens to be the term that best defines the bedroom featured today from House Beautiful. Usually luxurious styles come in all forms, from gold leaf touches to lush, velvet accents. Well, perhaps trends have circled around again, or this inviting bedroom has just turned into today's elegant classic; it was featured in the January 2009 issue – nearly three years ago.Read More

Throughout your home or apartment, you're sure to have areas that need extra lighting, but lack the space or proper electrical hookups. Whether it's due to lack of wiring or a low ceiling height, our traditional pendants and sconces don't always appeal to everyone. That leaves you with a basic solution that is sometimes forgotten about – creative, modern floor lamps.
If you're on the hunt for a contemporary light, but aren't willing to go with something found in a big box store, Barn Light Electric has an easy solution. Our Macintosh Torchiere Floor Lamp is constructed from clean, fashionable lines. When paired with an etched glass shade above, the Torchiere projects lite upwards, allowing it to gracefully bathe the room in soft light.
Are you looking for something a little bit more discreet, but doesn't sacrifice style? The Obscure Floor Lamp is exactly that – obscure. The Satin Aluminum finish is muted and neutral, careful not to distract from other pieces in your room. Since it is such a universal piece, the Obscure Lamp can be moved from room to room over the years.
Both the Macintosh Torchiere and Obscure Floor Lamp have coordinating table lamps for your occasional and end tables. For the match for the Torchiere, check out the Ensor Table Lamp. The white linen shade filters light to be a bit easier on the eyes, while the base has the same art deco lines as its floor lamp counterpart. On the other hand, the Bauhaus Table Lamp is identical to the Obscure, just a mini version. The same shade as the Obscure diffuses light much like the Ensor, and has an easy to reach on/off switch.
Got questions on any of our modern floor and table lamps? Contact us, and we'd be glad to help you out!Read More

With a busy schedule, finding enough time to tackle even the smallest home improvement projects can be a major challenge. If you're looking for a quick and simple way to beautify a room, consider adding one of our metal barn lamps to a desk, end table or bookshelf.
Our barn lamps are cherished for their eye-catching design and unique style. As you can see in the photo above, each Machine Age Lamp displayed on the industrial factory cart has noticeably different features compared to traditional lamps. These well constructed pieces feature a metal warehouse shade design as opposed to cloth or linen shades. The shade design is not only easy on the eyes, but is easily wiped clean as opposed to others which can collect dirt and dust over time.
These lamps are a natural fit in industrial, modern age or country style rooms. Their round metal shades were inspired by America's Machine Age, when steel factories were running at full speed and manufacturing was at its peak. You may recognize this RLM warehouse shade design from our Old Dixie gooseneck or pendant lighting styles.
These Barn Light Machine Age Lamps can be customized in tons of different finish options. Country-style raw copper is just one of more than 50 finishes available to help you choose a style that suits your interior. If these barn lamps weren't quite what you were searching for, Barn Light Electric also offers a wide selection of Swing Arm Lamps and Task Lamps that can be paired with many of our coordinating vintage or modern pendants and wall sconces.
Were you searching for this style of barn lamp? Oftentimes referred to as a barn light on our website, these warehouse shades are a great matching ceiling pendant to the barn lamps shown above. Consider hanging these above a kitchen island or sink, while accessorizing an off set seating area or living room with a couple Machine Age Table Lamps!Read More

2.) Etsy Cow Print Decorative Pillow: $14.99
3.) Barn Light Electric Province Cast Guard Sconce: $279.00

At some point, we've all watched our favorite design show and said, "I could never do that." Today we took a little inspiration from one of our many favorite TV shows – Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Every Sunday viewers tune in to see Ty Pennington and his design team's awesome creations, with the ultimate goal being to help a very deserving family. A few weeks ago, Barn Light Electric had the opportunity to donate lighting for the Williams family in Pine Mountain Valley, Georgia. Josie, who is 8, is a mini cowgirl at heart, and received a very cool Hayloft inspired room (see finished photo below).
To bring a similar room into your home, we'd like to introduce today's Style Guide that is devoted to the ultimate cowgirl. We selected bedding similar to The Hayloft – something bright, colorful, and utilized old, rustic patterns. Topping off the bed, we'd suggest throwing on some decorative cow print throw pillows. Although pricey, you can choose authentic cow skin or a cheaper Etsy alternative – we like Etsy's!
Light up your Hayloft with none other than our Barn Lights! To be placed on both sides of the bed, we selected two Barn Light Province Cast Guard Sconces in our Cruiser Green finish. Sconces next to the bed can serve as accent lighting and can be used for bedtime stories and future late night studying. By selecting a frosted glass option, a softer glow of light will be released. If your little cowgirl has a desk for coloring or homework, we recommend the Machine Age Metal Table Lamp. By combining a warehouse style shade as the top, and selecting a raw, galvanized finish, a rustic, traditional country feel is brought into the area.
Complete your room by adding accessories and authentic looking hay bales – these can act as book shelves, headboards, or night stands. Accessories can be purchased, or homemade, bringing in colors from your bedding. Collect old license plates to make your own art – get creative, spell out words like Cowgirl, Country, or YeeHaw.

Fic| Bruce and Hulk talk about Caiera and come to an understanding. G
'I don't know what to do.'
At first Bruce wasn't sure he'd understood what Hulk had said or that he was even trying to communicate. It had been several months since they'd really spoken to one another. Hulk was too busy ruling over his hard-won kingdom and Bruce, he was happy to admit, was content to relinquish control for the first time since the accident and to be a passenger without having to worry about the consequences.
It had been a difficult transition for them to work through, initially, not because of anything external, but because they were both so incredibly resistant and unwilling to compromise with one another. Bruce had blindly ignored what was going on around them, and relied on past experiences, stupidly assuming that he knew best. Hulk had allowed him to take over exactly once, as a means to an end, and Bruce learned very quickly that he was the outcast on planet Sakaar.
That had been almost a year ago and things had progressed well for them. Caiera and Hulk had married; she'd requested that Hulk stop hiding parts of himself and Hulk cursed that every woman that they'd ever liked between them should always be so goddamn intelligent. So Hulk regressed and let Bruce out, afraid that Caiera would recoil with disgust (at which point Bruce grimaced, because he knew exactly what that felt like. How Ironic that Bruce was now the shameful secret half).
Bruce was struck almost silent by her. It was so much different on the outside than what he'd imagined. He only recieved feelings from Hulk, sometimes scattered images but he'd never thought about the sheer enormity of the palace. Caiera stole his field of vision, though, and she was impossibly beautiful and incredibly kind to him. Bruce spoke to her, never once looking from her face, and told her of Earth, where, for better or worse, Hulk was born. She listened silently and when Bruce finished, she accepted him with a kiss. Hulk reemerged then and Bruce didn't fight it.
'I wasn't sure you were meaning to talk to me.' Bruce replied with no inflection; there was no need. He wasn't upset. He had willfully accepted that his role in their lives was reaching or had reached the end. Sometimes Bruce caught the tail end of thoughts; usually if Hulk was mulling or being otherwise inwardly thoughtful- it never meant that he'd wanted dialog with Bruce any other time.
'I was. Do you know what's happening to Caiera?' Bruce tried to remember. Things were always so fuzzy; time didn't flow the same when he was a passenger.
'Is she … pregnant?' Hulk confirmed with a mental nod. Bruce sighed and tried to recall how excitement felt. Being insubstantial seemed to come with many drawbacks.
'She seems unhappy. I don't know how to change this.'
Bruce did remember laughter. Hulk's internal atmosphere shifted to something decidedly dangerous and Bruce backed off, slightly. 'The reason she's changing is because she's changing, Hulk. She's pregnant and it's not always comfortable. There's not a lot you can do other than weather the worst of it and be there for her.'
'I do not like this.'
Bruce sent him a mental shrug. He knew that 'this' referred something that Hulk couldn't fix with violence. It was most of what he knew, after all. Hulk had it in him to be peaceful, he just didn't know how to act or how to fit in after the dust had settled. He got restless and now that his wife was swelling and changing, Bruce realized that there was no precedence for this. He only knew what to expect because it was a natural thing to humans, they grew up around it. Hulk might have an intrinsic knowledge from Bruce but he did not know everything because he had never grown up, he was created.
Bruce surmised that bipedal pregnancies were all fairly similar but because Hulk's biology was so different, it was probably playing some role in Caiera's overall uneasiness.
Bruce and Hulk talked for several hours and had come to an understanding; Bruce knew more of this kind of thing and they both knew he was more of a precision instrument than Hulk was. Hulk talked it over with Caiera and she seemed more relieved than she had in months; Hulk knew he had made the right decision, even if it took him out of the equation. Bruce would be the dominant personality for the next few months, unless the King was needed.
AHHHHHHHHH this is perfect. PERFECT.

An investigation of polyolefin manufacturing technology: Mathematical modelling of polymerization and polymer modification processes

The work described in this thesis can be broken down into two separate parts. The first deals with the mathematical and computer modelling of industrially important methods for the production of polyolefins, specifically: (a) the high pressure tubular reactor process, (b) the high pressure autoclave type reactor process, and (c) the low pressure Ziegler Natta reactor process using heterogeneous catalysts. The second part deals with the chemical modification of these polymers by free radical methods during the extrusion process. Free radical copolymerization of ethylene in high pressure reactors is considered. Kinetic mechanisms to describe the polymerization rate and polymer properties, including copolymer composition, molecular weight, branching frequencies, melt flow index and polymer density, have been proposed. The method of moments is used, in conjunction with pseudo kinetic rate constants to allow for copolymerization, to calculate the molecular weight averages. Based upon this kinetic scheme, a mathematical model has been derived and implemented as computer programs to simulate commercial tubular and autoclave type reactors. The model parameters were fit to steady state data from industrial reactors. The dynamic autoclave reactor model includes the two phase kinetics due to polymer-monomer solubilities and phase separation in the reaction mixture. Gel formation from crosslinking reactions is also analyzed. A mixing model is developed to represent the flow inside the reactor. In the simulation PID control equations are used to maintain operation at the unstable steady state. A sensitivity study is performed on the mixing model parameters and on some of the kinetic parameters. The model is compared to steady state temperature, initiator flow and conversion data from commercial reactors. Many polyolefins are produced using heterogeneous Ziegler Natta catalysts either in gas phase, bulk or slurry type reactors. These properties include broad molecular weight and copolymer composition distributions. A kinetic model has been derived, based upon multiple catalyst sites of differing reactivities, for the Ziegler-Natta copolymerization of olefins. The model predicts the rate of polymerization, the copolymer composition and the molecular weight distribution of the polymer produced as well as accounting for the observed broad copolymer composition and molecular weight distributions. This dissertation deals with the development of mathematical models to relate the molecular modifications, scission, branching, crosslinking and grafting. The models, based upon generally accepted kinetic mechanisms and certain assumptions about the nature of simultaneous scission and crosslinking, can predict the molecular weight averages, degrees of crosslinking, scission and grafting, and the sol/gel ratio. A mathematical formulation to describe simultaneous random scission and crosslinking has been presented in the literature but only solved by assuming that scission and crosslinking occur serially. For this work, an algorithm to numerically solve this equation was developed. The results of these calculations were compared to the classical solutions to this problem and to the experimental data gathered in this project. This model, although applied to polyolefin modification, has applications for other systems where simultaneous random scission and crosslinking of polymers is encountered.

The British government said today that it will not "publish records of cabinet discussions on the legality of invading Iraq in 2003, despite a tribunal ruling in January that it should release them." Justice Secretary Jack Straw blocked the request made under the Freedom of Information Act, saying that release of the records would "risk serious damage to Cabinet government." Previously released government documents revealed that former Attorney General Peter Goldsmith had "cast doubt on the legal grounds for war" just days before then-Prime Minister Tony Blair ordered British troops to invade Iraq.

The Chicago White Sox gave Detroit an opening to tie for the AL Central lead when Gordon Beckham hit into a game-ending forceout with the potential tying run on second base Tuesday in a 4-3 loss to the last-place Cleveland Indians. Down 4-0, the White Sox closed when A.J. Pierzynski and Dayan Viciedo hit consecutive fifth-inning home runs off Corey Kluber (2-4) and then pulled within a run when Paul Konerko homered off Chris Perez leading off the ninth. Perez walked a pair of batters with two outs, and Beckham grounded to shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, who threw to second baseman Jason Kipnis for the force.

Angel Victoria Hart admits she's got 'Bieber Fever': 'He's Cute'
Selena Gomez might be a beautiful megastar, but it looks like she has competition for teen idol boyfriend Justin Bieber as the singer was surrounded by Victoria's Secret Angels at the saucy fashion show in New York last night, with Angel Jessica Hart taking a particular interest in the 'Baby' singer.
The leggy blonde hit the catwalk along with Miranda Kerr, Cara Delevingne, Dorthea Barth Jorgensen and Adriana Lima at Manhattan's Lexington Avenue Armory on Wednesday night just days after publicly gushing about her love for JB.
"I have Bieber Fever! He's just so cute, I can't wait to see him in real life. He's going to be really good," she told HollywoodLife.
From the look of Bieber's face as he performed on the runway with the scantily clad supermodels, he felt the same way as he gyrated and flirted with the sexy catwalk sirens who sauntered past him leaving nothing to the imagination.
Surely fulfilling the dream of every teen, the barely legal star performed two tracks, 'Beauty and The Beast' and 'Boyfriend', the latter reportedly written for girlfriend Selena.
We wonder how his performance went down with Selena? With rumours the pair are on the rocks – hanging out with the Victoria's Secret girls can't have gone down well!

Lexington, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - James Young made five 3-pointers and led all scorers with 26 points to lead No. 4 Kentucky past Texas-Arlington, 105-76, as part of the Keightley Classic at Rupp Arena.
Julius Randle recorded another double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds and Willie Cauley-Stein added 14 points and 10 boards off the bench for the previously top-ranked Wildcats (4-1), who shot 51 percent from the field and pulled away early in the second half.
Brandon Edwards and Reger Dowell netted 24 and 20 points, respectively, in the second straight loss for the Mavericks (2-3).
"There are a lot of positives...and we have to figure out a way to get a couple of wins in this tournament before we go back home," Texas-Arlington head coach Scott Cross said.
Kentucky, which started five freshmen for the second straight game after its loss to now-No. 1 Michigan State, jumped in front by double digits in the early going -- thanks to Young pouring in 13 points in the first six-plus minutes -- but showed its inexperience with three consecutive turnovers that led to easy Texas-Arlington buckets.
The transition layups were part of a 9-0 run that cut the Mavs' deficit to four, and the underdogs pulled within 28-25 following a Dowell 3-pointer with just over six minutes left in the opening half.
After John Calipari called a timeout, his Wildcats quickly responded with the next 12 points, four coming from Randle on a dunk and a tip-in off a miss, and the hosts went into the break with a 42-33 advantage.
Kentucky put the game out of reach with a 13-3 run and an 11-0 spurt over the first eight minutes to the second half.
"I wasn't happy about a lot of things in the first half," Calipari said. "Then in the second half, I thought we played with some emotion."
Back-to-back 3-pointers by Andrew Harrison and Young extended Kentucky's lead to 55-36 less than three minutes in, and Texas-Arlington did not have the firepower for a comeback.
This was the first meeting between the programs ... Kentucky improved to 10-3
all-time against members of the Sun Belt Conference ... Randle has five
double-doubles to begin his freshman season. The last Kentucky player to post
five straight double-doubles was Jim Andrews, who accomplished the feat in
1971-72. ... Harrison finished with 15 points ... Dowell, an Oklahoma State
transfer, came in averaging 26.0 points per game ... Kentucky plays Cleveland
State next Monday ... Texas-Arlington, which lost to Cleveland State its
previous time out, plays at Robert Morris on Thursday.

To make up for this lack of Java exploitability, the creators of the Blackhole and Nuclear exploit pack included an exploit for a new, unpatched, Java vulnerability in their latest release [1]. The exploit has been seen on various compromised sites serving up the exploit kit. The latest version of Java 7 is vulnerable [2].

said by VU#625617 :Disable Java in web browsersStarting with Java 7 Update 10, it is possible to disable Java content in web browsers through the Java control panel applet. Please see the Java documentation for more details.Note: Due to what appears to potentially be a bug in the Java installer, the Java Control Panel applet may be missing on some Windows systems. In such cases, the Java Control Panel applet may be launched by finding and executing javacpl.exe manually. This file is likely to be found in C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin or C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin.Also note that we have encountered situations where Java will crash if it has been disabled in the web browser as described above and then subsequently re-enabled. Reinstalling Java appears to correct this situation. System administrators wishing to deploy Java 7 Update 10 or later with the "Enable Java content in the browser" feature disabled can invoke the Java installer with the WEB_JAVA=0 command-line option. More details are available in the Java documentation.

Mozilla has blocked all versions of Java:Mozilla Security Blog - Protecting Users Against Java Vulnerability»blog.mozilla.org/security/2013/0···ability/
Mozilla has not blocked Java. I don't see any block when I go to, for instance, »web100.rit.edu:7123/ to do a speed test. Java itself first gives me a popup security warning and I have to tell Java that I wish to allow the applet at this site to load. Then and only then does it load. But that is not Mozilla's doing. That is because of how I set the security slider in the latest Java panel.I had those Mozilla blocks on XP because I had an old version of Java there until recently and I don't get those on Win8 with the latest Java on Fx 10.0.10 ESR.Maybe Mozilla has only blocked it for those who have not put the security slider high? Or those who have earlier versions of Java with no security slider?--When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Thomas Jefferson
Check the file blocklist.xml (in your Profile directory) & see what that shows.(SeaMonkey's version is NOT blocking Java, where FF's is.)
Better question is...is Firefox phoning home to Mozilla all the time like Chrome does with Google? I mean how else are they able to control the Click to Play feature and determine what's 'bad' for us to run and what's not.

What should I use to read that file? It's hard to read in Notepad or Wordpad. But I don't see anything in it about Java...but being so hard to read I could have a missed an entry.What does this statement from Moziilla mean?"Always activate Java for a siteIf you have a trusted site that uses Java and you need to use that site often, you can make Java work normally on just that website. Click the red plugin icon in the address bar and a message window will open. At the bottom of the message window, click the Activate All Plugins dropdown menu and choose Always activate plugins for this site."»support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how···r-a-siteI don't see a red plug in the address bar on a site that uses a Java applet. In fact, I usually see nothing but an address. I frequently don't get the site icons or even sometimes secure icons, etc. I haven't since Mozilla messed with all that quite awhile ago. And this is true on my NEW computer also. I usually just get a strange round gray ball instead of an icon. The install of Fx 10 is only two months old. Plus, I updated Fx yesterday to 10.0.12. I suppose the red plugin icon in the address bar must not apply to version 10.0.12 ESR.I still think the way to go is to set the Java slider HIGH and I think because I did that is why Mozilla is not blocking my Java. The function is quite similar to what Mozilla describes for how to always activate a plugin on a trusted site. You can do that in Java itself now. Did Mozilla fail to notice these latest changes in Java?--When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Thomas Jefferson
Not sure what you mean. 18.0 is the newest version of Firefox, which is what I have. Just updated to it on Friday.
I'm sorry....I wasn't clear at all. I meant your Java version. It's not the latest (judging from your screenshot...which could be an older screenshot and not reflective of your current Java version). Is that screenshot from your computer or a Mozilla webpage? Whatever, it is showing an older version of Java. (I had thought perhaps Java was blocked for you because the version in your screenshot is not the latest), but since then I read the Mozilla forum and learned Mozilla has been very inconsistent in that they are blocking on CURRENT versions of Fx but NOT blocking on 10.0.12 ESR which is a CURRENTLY SUPPORTED VERSION. It's supported until the middle of Feb and I am still using it because I had enough on my plate dealing with Win 8 and didn't need a major browser upgrade at the same time. So, now I realize that the reason it is not blocked for me is because of Mozilla's inconsistency.--When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Thomas Jefferson
Yes, that is from my computer. I didn't update that last Java update as it still wasn't secure. I just disabled it entirely. I find I so far don't need it anyway.Sorry for the confusion on my end.
The warning only appears in Firefox 17 and above.Hopefully we'll see a new Java update soon. I thought it laughable when Oracle announced they were only going to release updates every three months. That was an open invitation to the black hat community:"We're going to do updates on a pre-set schedule so we can reduce costs and make our CEO and shareholders more money, even at the expense of our product's security. Feel free to exploit our product in between our scheduled updates."I expected something like this to happen.

Plaid Cymru's Treasury spokesperson, Jonathan Edwards MP, has criticised Chancellor George Osborne for attempting to scare the people of Scotland into keeping the pound.
In a speech this morning, the Chancellor said that if Scotland chooses to walk away from the UK then it walks away from the pound - a puzzling claim given that UK exports to Scotland in 2011 amounted to £49bn.
Mr Edwards said that Mr Osborne's comments were borne out of knowledge that the pound would be significantly weakened if Scotland left the currency union and accused the Chancellor of using bullying tactics in an attempt to make Scotland stay.
Mr Edwards said:
"Chancellor Osborne's comment show that 'Project Fear' has gone into over-drive having finally realised that a victory for the Yes camp is a very real possibility.
"Mr Osborne knows full well that the currency union benefits from Scotland's membership and is resorting to desperate tactics in an attempt to scare Scots into voting for the status quo.
"Just as the Welsh First Minister's embarrassing intervention proved when he threatened to veto a currency union - something he has no power over whatsoever, every incident of sabre-rattling from Better Together is a gift to the Yes campaign.
"Plaid Cymru has repeatedly made the case for sterling zone reform with Wales being granted a place on the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, and clear accountability structures between governments, parliaments and the Central Bank so that monetary policy can be formulated in the interests of Wales.
"Based on this extraordinary positioning of the Westminster elite, the Treasury and the Welsh Government need to publish at haste their assessments of the number of Welsh jobs that would be lost should the UK Government prohibit Scotland from using sterling.
"It is a dereliction of duty to make grandstanding statements without publishing those assessments.
"It is a disgrace that the Westminster elite are willing to sacrifice Welsh jobs in order to score political points against Scotland.
"The Chancellor is trying to call Scotland's bluff but it just won't work. The more the Westminster elite try to scaremonger and dictate their future, the more the Scottish people will be drawn to vote Yes and choose the better alternative of a fairer, more prosperous nation."

Last August, we brought you the story we dubbed Inspirational Vehicle: Mark's 7, in which a group of enthusiasts and forum members rallied together to complete an RX-7 build for one of their friends stricken with ALS whose condition prevented him from seeing his project through to its completion. If you missed it the first time around, check it out here. It's a great story of friends helping another friend. Sadly, we must also report that Mark, the man all those good folks rallied around, passed away in January of this year. Our belated condolences to his family and friends.
Today's feel-good story is very similar, only it took place across the Atlantic in the UK, where one Simon Pritchard was in the midst of restoring a Turbo Esprit when a series of mini-strokes put him in the hospital and his resto project in limbo. During the course of the restoration, he had joined the Lotus Esprit Forum to chat with other owners and get advice on his project car. "Big Si" (that's his handle and nickname), made some good friends there, and when he fell ill, they stepped up. Led by Andy Betts, who runs the Esprit forum, his comrades got together and secretly pooled money and time to complete the car. Even Lotus got in on the act, and the red beauty you see above is the final result. It took the gang of volunteers just 5 weeks to complete the project that was expected to take 18 months. Fast forward to a Lotus track day at Castle Combe, where Simon and friends were in attendance. Simon thought his car was tucked away in a buddy's garage having the engine worked on. He realized that wasn't the case when his car, resplendent in its newfound glory, pulled up right before his eyes. We extend a tip of the cap to everyone involved. For full details, you can read this BBC story and check out the private"Plan 'Bigsi'" section at the Lotus Esprit Forum that got it all rolling. Simon's mates recorded the big reveal when it happened, and we've embedded that footage after the jump. The thread that specifically covers the handover at Castle Combe can be found here. Well done, guys!
Thanks to all who sent tips.

TEAMS: Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals
Former Miami Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby has been having some trouble on the job market since his release a little more than a month ago.He's hoping a trip to Western New York can turn that around.The 31-year-old is meeting with the Buffalo Bills Monday and Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, where it seems that the veteran could fit right into defensive coordinator Mike Pettine's system. How much he's asking for, however, could be the make-or-break of his trip.Dansby was booted out of Miami the first day of the free-agency period after the team locked former Raven Dannell Ellerbe into a five-year deal. Despite a productive 2012 season where he set a career high in tackles, Dansby was knocked for his lack of production elsewhere, namely in the sack and forced-fumble department.If he and the Bills can work out a deal in the next few days, it'll leave Buffalo in a pretty solid spot heading into the draft. As it stands now, linebacker is one of the key...

This is my personal site. So, what's a Noffke? As far as I know, we came from the Stolp region in Pomerania (presently NW Poland), which dates back to the mid 1600s. I've heard the town was called Stolp. My heritage is German, but an old Polish literature professor of mine swore the name was Polish. History has changed the borders of these countries so many times, it's not worth counting, so who really knows.
The Noffke family immigrated to both Canada and the United States. It appears that some of us even made it over to Australia and New Zealand, and even South Africa. My family is from northeastern Wisconsin, which probably moved to Milwaukee first, then north from there.

The manufacturer has discontinued all Jon-e products, but we continue to display the instructions to assist handwarmer owners.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSFor the Jon-ë Handwarmer by Blount, Inc.(as copied from the Jon-ë manual included with the handwarmer)
In purchasing the Jon-ë Handwarmer you have purchased a product that will last a lifetime or more with reasonable care. There are no moving parts to wear out. The heart of the Jon-ë is its platinum catalyst heating element. Once you heat the element to its operating temperature it will provide continuous heat by consuming (without any flame) the Jon-ë Handwarmer Fluid you have placed in the base of the handwarmer. The heating element warms the chrome-plated case which radiates warmth through the carrying bag to your hand. that is why it is safe to use and can be held in any position in your hand.
WARNING! A Jon-ë Handwarmer is made to generate heat. To avoid a skin burn always keep it in the carrying bag and change its position frequently. When removed from cloth carrying bag and left uncovered in the open air it can get HOT! Do not allow uncovered operating Jon-ë Handwarmer to come in contact with your skin. Do not use while sleeping; or with an unattended handicapped person or small child.
1.How to Fill Your Jon-ë Handwarmer. Start your Jon-ë Handwarmer indoors in the absence of wind and draft for fast and easy starting. Remove both chrome-plated top cover...
2....and the heating element (don't touch heating element material) to expose absorbent cotton/screen inside base of your Jon-ë Handwarmer.
3.Fill plastic fuel dispenser with Jon-ë Handwarmer Fluid to line
indicated thereon. Tilt Handwarmer and slowly pour fluid on absorbent cotton/screen in the base of the Warmer, wetting the lighting wick as you do this. Two dispensers of fluid filled to indicated line will fill the base and provide 8-12 hours of heat from the Jon-ë standard size model and up to 36 hours with giant size model using giant size fluid dispenser. If you are going to use your Handwarmer five hours or less, use one dispenser of fluid. Wipe off any fluid on outside of bas and wipe up spilled fluid too!
4.CHECK FOR OVER FILLING. Do not overfill. Shake out excess fuel as illustrated below.
Turn base upside down and shake out any excess fluid. WIPE OFF any fluid on outside of case! WIPE UP spilled fluid too! CAUTION: Spilled fluid is highly flammable! Do not ignite a match or cigarette lighter flame near spillage, clothing wet with fluid, or napkin/rag used to wipe up spillage because it will flame up! Anything wet with spillage should be allowed to air out and evaporate the fluid completely before any flame is ignited nearby.
8.To stop Jon-ë heating action pry off element with knife or edge of perforated cover. It will go out in about 30 seconds. When it has cooled replace element and cover. It will not heat again until re-lighted.
To generate more heat open drawstring on bag to give Jon-ë more air.
If Jon-ë Goes Out From OverfillingIf Jon-ë is overfilled, the excess fluid in the base will expand upon getting hot and wet the heating element. The heating action of the heating element will stop immediately with no danger of fire or flame. If you overfill, remove the heating element and shake out the excess fluid from the base. Before replacing the heating element, place heating element in a clean ashtray and ignite. Let excess fluid burn off and allow heating element to cool off before replacing heating element and igniting in usual way.
Pre-mature snuffingSometimes the warmer is lit but will not stay lit for more than a short period of time, or goes out after being placed in the bag. If it appears not to be overfilled and overfill instructions have been tested, it is possible that the particular warmer might need a bit more air. A few holes applied to the bag will allow for increased air circulation.
To Remove Carbon From Heating ElementIf black carbon appears on heating element, proper lighting procedures were not followed and it indicates the element was lit in a draft or the Handwarmer was tilted and handled while lighting.To burn off carbon, light Handwarmer correctly. Put cover back on and let Handwarmer stand without bag in draft-free room and do not handle. Place the Handwarmer where an unsuspecting person or child will not touch it as the Handwarmer will be extremely HOT!! The extreme heat will consume the carbon by the time the Handwarmer goes out.
WARNING!Do not use any automotive gasoline as it is explosive! It will destroy the heating element too. Use Jon-ë Handwarmer Fluid for best results. Cigarette light fluid may also be used. Do not use other petroleum products. Do not use Jon-ë Fluid on charcoal or charcoal fire. NOTE: USING FLUIDS OTHER THAN JON-E'S HANDWARMER FLUID MAY RESULT IN HANDWARMER SNUFFING OUT

Fulldome Planetarium Show
In case you haven't heard, the Moon is trending again… and in a big way. Like in the glory days of the 1960s and 1970s, our big white space neighbor is enjoying the attention of lunar explorers. Only this time, they're going back to the moon for good. The educational 24-minute Google Lunar XPRIZE fulldome planetarium show, Back To The Moon For Good, chronicles teams around the world competing for the largest incentivized prize in history, by landing a robotic spacecraft on the Moon for the first time in more than 40 years. To win the Google Lunar XPRIZE, a team must land a robotic spacecraft on the Moon, navigate 500 meters over the lunar surface, and send video, images and data back to Earth. This global competition is designed to spark imagination and inspire a renewed commitment to space exploration, not by governments or countries – but by the citizens of the world.
show synopsis
The show opens with the first era of space exploration in the late 1960s and early 1970s. We see what that era of landers and orbiters taught us about our nearest neighbor including the discovery of the Moon's origin, composition, structure and the accessibility of raw materials on its surface. The Google Lunar XPRIZE is introduced as the largest incentivized competition to date, designed to democratize space and create new opportunities for eventual human and robotic presence on the Moon. We see the engineering and innovation steps taken by the internationally distributed teams competing to land a spacecraft on the Moon and vie for additional prizes. We highlight the human spirit of competition and collaboration as teams take on this audacious challenge. Who will win the $30 million Google Lunar XPRIZE? The audience is taken through a successful launch, landing and lunar surface travel. The show ends with a stunning glimpse of a plausible scenario for our future on the Moon.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I can't take it any more. If I have to swallow another one of these openly fawning articles from Mike Schramm I'll add this website to my company's restricted site list myself.
Look, I get it: you love WoW and Blizzard. And whereas this is a fan site, the other writers here at least have expressed the capacity to find that yes, Blizzard can make mistakes. Not so with you. Blizzard is right on balance, right on Glider, right on Wrath...how far does it go with you?
I love this line: "Blizzard has outdone themselves with the second expansion -- the only question is where they'll go from here."
Let me help you to answer that question.
The expansion is an unmitigated failure for the 20-25% of players who were actively dedicated to the raiding aspects of the game. Even the most casual guilds are out of things to do, except pointless achievements that are the equivalent of "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we killed this boss while ______?" It's as if Blizzard spent the time after Sunwell came out watching BT speed run videos and Rogue-tank kills on Gruul and decided to base an entire expansion around that.
So we wait for Ulduar, and what we see so far gives us some hope. But articles like this and virtually every other one you have written are a disservice to the conversation about what Blizzard has done for the community. To sum it up for you:
- Blizzard has underdelivered on a heavily-hyped expansion in virtually every way.
- Blizzard has taken part in legal action that has brought the heavy hammer of the DMCA into the world of click-through EULAs, with consequences that will NOT be pleasant.
- Blizzard has made the "end-game" into nothing more than a walkthrough of a 3D environment.
Flame away, fanbots. You know deep within that you are sick of the apologetics, too.
SaintStryfe said...
You have a lot of unresolved anger. Do you love your mother? Did your father hit you?
I think the big thing your missing: ARE YOU HAVING FUN?
I'm having a great farking time, I can see the awesome end game sights, I don't feel pressured to raid 4 nights a week to be competing in the end game, It's easy enough to do professions (though a few are under powered right now), and I'm loving the stories in the game.
Please show me an Armory link of your Twilight Vanquisher main.
"- Blizzard has underdelivered on a heavily-hyped expansion in virtually every way."
Really? Every way? No, they really haven't. Almost all builds of all classes are far better than they've ever been, prot warriors in particular being nothing short of a masterpiece. Questing is much more varied and interesting than ever before, the game looks and sounds amazingly better. The reputation from tabards system means never having to grind dungeons you hate. Every profession now has a viable way to make money.
"- Blizzard has made the "end-game" into nothing more than a walkthrough of a 3D environment."
Look, any goober could be easily carried through everything in TBC except for the latter half of Sunwell. This is the equivalent of T4 content. It's not meant to be hard. This game is not made for the minority of hardcore Sunwell raiders, but there are encounters for them even this early in the game. If you want cop out and say Sarth 3D is a "pointless" achievement, then you're just a giant hypocrite. What were warglaives, other than a visible "I cleared endgame" marker? Same with Twilight Vanquisher/of the Nightfall.
I'd wager to say "The Immortal" is a better testament to the value of you as a player and that of your guild than any amount of TBC epics were.
IvanZephyr said...
You seem to not understand that this expansion isn't even half over yet...or maybe you do and are just an idiot.
1.) The underdelivered (Isn't a word btw) on a heavily-hyped expansion?
Taking from the WotLK Trailer:
Death Knights? Yes, they've delivered on them. People seem pretty happy with Death Knights. There are balancing issues, but what game DOESN'T have those when introducing a new class?
New continent? Yes, they delivered on that. And incredibly at that, the landscape of Northrend is ridiculously amazing looking.
New Profession: Inscription? Yup, delivered on that. Inscription is here and its...well...a profession.
New hairstyles? Yup, they're in the game
New Dances? Not yet, but they're working on it. Not that I really care about them that much...
New Quests? Yes, yes, and more yes. The quests in Northrend are the best in WoW so far.
New Dungeons? Definintely. Beautiful looking and fun to play. (I'll hit on the raids in a minute)
New Monsters/items? Yes
Level cap raised to 80? Yes
Seems like, according to their trailer, they've already delivered every promise except 1. The dances.
Lets talk about end-game raiding for a moment.
Its incredibly obvious that raiding right now is easy. Blizzard THEMSELVES have admitted this. The reasoning also makes perfect sense. Burning Crusade pushed the raiding limit to such an extreme that only an incredibly low percentage of the player base got to even see Sunwell. They purposely tuned down Naxx, not only because they wanted more people to see it (Since, like Sunwell, such a few percentage of players got to see it), and because it's an entry-level raid. Was Karazhan ridiculously difficult? Maybe before the necessary-nerfs, but no, it was not.
Then you have to take into account that Naxx was tested for an incredibly long time. Players were given complete free-range to the instance during the beta-phase. The tuning of the instance is not the only reason why it's so easy. Its because players had been clearing it on the PTR for weeks before the game even launched.
Raiding is a walk-through? Perhaps after you've got Malygos and Sarth 3D on farm (And have the gear from them), but I guarantee you didn't walk through Sarth 3D when learning (Probably not even Malygos).
Now for your second point: Blizzard took action against a company that had a produce that explicitly went around the rules to give some players an unfair advantage. It's their game, they make the rules as to how it is played. Having a mod that farms FOR you/ect is not fair to everyone else. I don't even see how you can use this for your argument against them.
I think you need to calm down and wait for the entire expansion to be finished before you start slinging your mud. Ulduar isn't out yet and then there's patches 3.2 and 3.3 to look forward to.
The POINT of those "pointless achievements" is to push people into doing odd and/or different things while the new content is coming out.
Frankly, if I was Blizzard, I wouldn't care WHAT someone like YOU thinks, you're clearly still playing the game. And they're getting their 13 bucks/month out of you just the same.
And finally, if you have such a problem with the game, there's that time old saying of "If you don't like it, stop doing it."

Quantumflea said...
cheers john, it needed to be said!
wordsofivory said...
"The expansion is an unmitigated failure for the 20-25% of players who were actively dedicated to the raiding aspects of the game."
You mean the 8%, right?
SarahTheGnome said...
I must say I agree with John to an extent. I was never a hardcore raider, we could only do 10 man with my guild, so we cleared Kara and ZA in TBC, we were sooo extatic when we cleared ZA pre-nerf, just the week before even. I remember the flame wreath issues on Aran, I remember the sheer joy and excitement of our first Kara runs. All.... gone. Naxx is not nearly as exciting. Everything is a one shot, even for a bunch of noobs like us. I LOVE that everything is accessible to 10 players now, that was a very good move on Blizz' part. But that should have been the line with dumbing down content. They should have not made it piss easy like they have now. The sense of accomplishment has just vaporised.
They aced the quests, phasing is godly, lore behind it is very enjoyable. Achievements are fun for those who are interested in them. I couldn't care less, but that doesn't mean they annoy me. But to just say raids are still hard because they have achievements to them now... it is not valid. Because it is still the same old content.
So when people say only hardcore raiders are disappointed by the raid content, that is not true, casuals also like a challenge every now and then. Get rid of attunements, okay, but just... don't make it a walk in the park. Achievements are a nice bonus, but they shouldn't be the only thing that gives the fulfilment to raiders in my opinion.
I love the expansion, but this bothers me, the raiding content. I will always have enough to do because I try out every aspect of the game, and because I spend a lot of time with roleplay, but I do not think the 'casual' excuse should justify making everything easy and diminishing the joy for those that like a challenge.
