How to Select
How to select Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting fixtures, with their various types and specifications, are designed to create perfect illumination for your home and outdoor landscaping. The guidelines listed below will help you select the most suitable options for your home.
To start the process of selecting an outdoor lighting fixture properly you need to specify the purpose and location of such device. There are tons of options available today, starting with hanging lamps or wall packs and ending with traditional post mount lights, each offering different features. Develop a plan where you will specify the location of each light and then select its type depending on that particular location. This will help you save time and money once you start shopping.
The types of outdoor lighting can be divided into following categories: security, safety, task and decoration.
Security outdoor lighting usually consists of few lights that are directed towards certain areas of the house or property. Such lighting helps illuminate the areas that are not protected or represent an interest to intruders and uninvited people.
Safety outdoor lighting is different from the first type despite the fact that safety is related to security. Safety lighting is designed to provide safe passages to the house and through the property, especially when it has a large area. Such objects as pools, steps, bridges, water locations and simply tripping places should be illuminated during the night.
Task lighting fixtures provide proper illumination for outdoor locations where people gather often. Task lamps are used for patios, decks, sport courts, stairs, gazebos and other areas. If you want to be able to adjust the light beam or the fixture itself, task lamps are the best fixtures to provide you with such possibility.
Design lighting is all about beauty and style. This type of lighting knows no limitations and depends on your imagination only.
When you have specified the type and location of your future outdoor lighting, you need to calculate the operation cost of all the fixtures and set the budget accordingly. This may be a bit complicated step to complete, but it is absolutely necessary if you want to spend less energy and money for the outdoor illumination. Calculate the wattage of each fixture and replace the conventional light bulbs with LED ones where possible. In addition to that, equip your system with automatic timers that will ensure the proper operation of all of the outdoor fixtures.

The Raspberry Pi Model B is a credit-card sized computer that plugs right into your TV. It has many of the capabilities of a traditional PC and can be used for word-processing, spreadsheet, and games. It can even play high-definition video! The board was developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of bringing low-cost, easy to program computers to developing countries and children.
The system is based on the Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip which features an ARM1176JZF-S 700MHZ processor. It has an onboard VideoCore IV GPU capable of High-Definition video playback and has 512 megabytes of RAM. An SD card (4GB SDHC recommended, not included) is used for booting and long term storage as the design does not include any built-in storage. The system is intended to run Linux based operating systems.
You'll need to supply your own USB keyboard, mouse, display, HDMI cable, USB A to Micro cable, 1.0A 5V USB power supply, SD card (4GB recommended), and RPi compatible Linux distribution. Alternatively, you can also purchase our Raspberry Pi Starter pack and only have to supply your own USB keyboard and mouse.

Jagged Alliance Online
Jagged Alliance Online Overview
Jagged Alliance Online brings the traditional mercenary turn-based action experience straight to your browser with this new iteration. Set in the early 90's, Jagged Alliance Online puts you in the skin of a mercenary company commander doing various set of storyline oriented missions. Boasting solid graphics, tactical gameplay and a lot of character progression options, this is one browser game that manages to achieve a certain level of polish that makes it look more like a full feature game than something you play on your browser. Naturally, not all is sunshine and daisies; there are a lot of bugs to be found, and some intense loading times. But if you've been craving for some turn-based strategy action and you don't want to dig out your old CDs, this might just be what you're looking for.

Jagged Alliance Online Review
Jagged Alliance Online, brought to you my Gamigo, is developers Cliffhanger Productions' first release, and it looks swell! You might have heard of the series before, as it dates all the way back to 1994, and has seen its share of iterations and console ports. It had its share of successes, until Jagged Alliance 3 fell into development hell in 2005, and rights were sold to bitComposer games. Thus came Jagged Alliance Online. If you're worried about the essential elements, it's all there; mercenary recruiting, tactical turn-based action, and even your own headquarters to play around with. That said, this is a competitive market, and there are plenty of fish in the sea, so how does Jagged Alliance Online fare against the competition? Read on!
Back In Action… Again!
As you may expect from it being a browser game, this is pretty accessible – just register, and there you go! When you start up the game, you're brought to choose a portrait, name, and class. Classes work according to skills, of which there are two types. Physical includes such things as endurance, strength, reflexes, dexterity, etc, while Weapon skills include… Well, you get it! You can actually wield any weapon, what the class mainly changes is the amount of skill you start out with, and your starting gear. The classes are what you'd expect to find; scout, soldier, heavy, marksman, and commando, with each having their own way of going about the fight. Commandos, for an example, like to sneak in, then duke it out close range with SMGs and pistols, while soldiers will prefer a tank and spank approach. Once you've made your choice, you do your first tutorial mission. The first thought that may cross your mind if you played Back in Action, is that this looks graphically -very- similar, which is a good thing considering JAO is on a browser! That said, it looks really good, and playing full screen (tested on a 1680×1050) does not deter the quality at all, though it may cause lesser machines to struggle at times. JAO is buggy however, and come prepared for that; it crashed no less than twice during the reviewing.
Mah Name Is Mad Dawg'
If you're not used to it, the gameplay pace might seem slow. This is turn-based strategy at its purest, and shares a lot of similarities with classics such as Fallout. Essentially, you have a number of action points to spend each turn that you may spend on moving, reloading, shooting, and once you're done, enemies may use theirs. The success of actions like shooting is based on your skills, and the success rate is displayed before you attempt an action. There are ways to boost these of course, like aiming and crouching to better your chances at a hit, or even catching the enemy from the side. The difficulty itself is very reasonable, and unless you like your games entirely unforgiving, you shouldn't have a problem here. Overall, the gameplay mechanics are interesting, but there's only so much you can do here. As in, there's not a truckload of tactical variety, and certain mechanics like cover and sneaking are very vague and/or badly explained. One thing you're bound to encounter at this point is the loading time; the game needs to load literally after –every- action you make, and you'll frequently find yourself waiting while the game registers a kill-shot or an explosion, which can severely hamper the immersion. Turn-based gameplay is situated entirely in missions, each of which rewards the player with money, reputation and items (with bonuses depending on performance/luck). It's worth noting that you won't be alone in these – the rewards from these missions can be used to form an entire team of mercs, each with their own different capabilities and specificities. And if team building is what you enjoy, well, good news; there are literally dozens of mercenaries you can recruit.
Vodka & Passports
In-between missions, you're at the world map where you have access to your upgradeable headquarters, consisting of a shop, a workshop, an infirmary, a mercenary recruiting station and storage. From the world map, you can also access individual missions, PvP matches and the cash store. It's actually a very neat interface, as you can upgrade most parts of your HQ, and it grows more modern as you go. Your merc squad levels through reputation, which lets you access better missions and costlier mercenaries, along with a slew of new armor and weapons. Finally, your mercs also level, encouraging you to stick with the same mercs as you go. The weapon and armor selection isn't too bad, but it could definitely be better, and some looks are recycled throughout the game. As far as this was reviewed, there are also little to no cooperative missions, though there are quite a few PvP modes. Some annoying bits include missions absolutely REQUIRE items that, it seems, can only be bought with gold from the cash store, though you do start out with some. If you've already used up your gold, well, tough luck! Did I mention that the gold prices are absolutely crazy? If you're serious about JAO, be prepared to dish out some serious money to be able to play this game consistently, not to mention competitively.
Final Verdict: Good
Jagged Alliance Online is a fun and accessible game, with an acceptable learning curve, an addictive progression system and a whole lot of style. Its tactical gameplay will appeal to turn-based strategy and Jagged Alliance fans alike, though the latter might mourn the striking resemblance to Back to Action. While its few bugs and lacks sometimes break the immersion, it's nothing crippling, and it manages to bring the customer a full, solid experience that will keep them coming back for more. Give this one a try!

Awesome shirt, this is the first one I've ever voted for, hope it gets to be printed!!
Yes, it's supposed to keep the voting more fair. Otherwise an artist could just have friends/family vote that would not necessarily purchase nor be representative of the shirt.woot! community. Also, I believe there is a six (6) color limit. Not sure if you've used more than that or not, but it is certainly colorful. And beautiful.

What is the Large Hadron Collider?
At the heart of the LHC are superconducting magnets made of niobium-titanium. Cooled to nearly absolute zero by superfluid helium, the coils of these magnets conduct electricity without resistance. The LHC's 1,232 dipole magnets guide the opposing beams of speeding protons in their circular orbits. Several thousand additional magnets fine-tune the beams' orbits, and some 400 quadrupole magnets focus the protons into hair-thin beams that collide within the LHC experiments. Cryogenic, electronic and information systems of unprecedented scope and complexity support the LHC's 'round-the-clock operation.
The LHC physics program mainly uses proton-proton collisions, but the LHC can also accelerate lead ions to create collisions with an energy of 1,150 TeV during shorter running periods, typically one month per year.

Too soon to move in together?
Q: Hi Meredith,
I'm a longtime reader, sometime commenter with a question about timing and relationships. I have been dating a woman I met about three months ago, and we have been virtually inseparable since. We pretty much alternate staying at her place and mine.
We made the decision to move in together because despite the short amount of time we have been dating, we are in love with each other. Our friends (and family members) are expressing some fairly serious concerns that we are moving too quickly. If we were twentysomethings I would understand this, but we are both in our 50s and time is more precious as you age.
So my question for you and your readers is: Does it matter how long you have been dating before you move in together? Is it based on time or on how well you think you know each other? We have not had an argument yet, much less a fight, so I see no reason to continue bouncing between two houses (both rentals). The other question I have is that she is moving in with me, so she would be giving up her apartment. This scares me a bit because if things do not work out for whatever reason, she would have to find a new place again. Thanks for any help you can give me.
– Is Timing Everything, Revere
A: Three months is too soon. Three months is a blip. That doesn't mean that your relationship is destined for failure if you move in, but it does mean that you're taking a big risk. You're choosing to get to know this woman as a roommate before you really know her as a partner.
I usually tell people (no matter their age) that if you can fight and make up, if you share a plan for the future, if you're basically sharing an apartment anyway, and if you understand and accept each other's philosophies about money, you're probably ready for a move-in. It's difficult to accomplish everything on that list in three months. You seem proud that you've never had an argument, but doesn't that suggest that you're still in the magical honeymoon phase? Are you willing to cut that short?
If you're really going to do this, please consider finding an entirely new rental property. You'll probably need more space as a twosome, and it's better if you both start fresh, as opposed to her moving into your territory. If you're answer to that is, "No way. It's easier if we stay in my apartment," well, that's another reason you might be moving too quickly.
Readers? Is three months too soon? Does it matter that they're in their 50s? Do they have to get a new place? Any tips if they do move in? Discuss.
– Meredith
