This Pipe Candlestick is a fine, dapper and slightly quirky accessory for your home! It's gold plated metal with an antique style.

This candlestick is a perfect replica of Darth Vader's lightsaber – other than the part where it stands up on your dining table and holds a candle instead of emitting a plasma blade. Other than that, it's identical.

The cool Abra Candelabra from designers Alberto Mantilla and Anthony Baxter turns the traditional candlestick inside out. This inverse hand-blownglass candle holder uses a unique negative space design to suspend a candle seemingly in mid air.

Mummy, Skeleton hands candle holders, perfect for the buffet table at party time, in a bathroom! What a great addition to your Halloween decorations.

Little Joseph is a little creepy ass porcelain candle holder. As the candle melts it drips wax onto his face.

Peek Your Inner World Through the Color Shades of Your Home(down)

Preface: According to studies by psychologists, people with different personalities  have different preferences of color. So it can be seen from the choice of his or her home shades, as well as his personality, hobbies, temperament, habits and taste. This issue, let us work together and focus on eight character crowd, and fit a group, thus find a home color that matches with your personality specially.

Shades of Blue

Are you blue? Those who lean toward blue generally are calm, compassionate and follow a steady course. Reminiscent of both sky and sea, shades of blue appeal to those with peaceful and quiet personalities.

Shades of Green

Green sends out natural vibes in a big way, and people who want to be surrounded by shades of green tend to like balance and can be counted on to be civilized.

Shades of Purple

From lavender to eggplant, plum and dark regal purple, shades of this mix of blue and red add drama and flair to any decor. Purple lovers tend to be artistic and unconventional.

Shades of Black

Renowned for both its sexiness and class, black is best used in small doses in decor lest its powerful aura overwhelm the space. Lovers of all things black tend to impress in an understated way and generally promote the idea that they aren't telling all.

Peek Your Inner World Through the Color Shades of Your Home(up)

Preface: According to studies by psychologists, people with different personalities have different preferences of color. So it can be seen from the choice of his or her home shades, as well as his personality, hobbies, temperament, habits and taste. This issue, let us work together and focus on eight character crowd, and fit a group, thus find a home color that matches with your personality specially.

Shades of White

People who choose white for their surroundings likely believe that "pure as the driven snow" is more than a cliche. Using shades of white is a clue to a personality that finds comfort in simplicity and sees the world through a youthful, innocent lens.

Shades of Red

For centuries, red has meant passion. People who are partial to shades of red, from apple and rose red to tomato and fire engine, generally are optimistic, outgoing and, well, passionate about life.


Shades of Yellow

It's a cliche that yellow is sunny, and those who pick shades of this color for their decor tend to be sunny, too. But they go a lot deeper than that: People who love yellow also tend to be intellectual and adventurous and place a high value on freedom.


Shades of Orange

A space filled with shades of orange exudes vitality and cheer. The people who decorate rooms with orange hues tend to be outgoing, social and easy to be with, even if they do like to be the center of attention.

Smart Windows, Let More Warmth in Your Home in Winter

Preface: Researchers at the window testing facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are developing dynamic windows treated with nanocrystals that block heat from the sun when a small electrical current is applied --- useful for hot summer days.

Speaking of smart, researchers are developing smart windows. It's a high-tech effort to cut down on the huge amount of energy that leaks through windows.

LAAs someone who studies windows, Howdy Goudey isn't surprised that most of us find them a little boring.

Well, it's a pretty pedestrian object. You know, what's new to do with a window?

But here at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, windows are the focus of some cutting-edge research. Goudey uses an infrared camera to look at how windows lose heat. The camera shows us as red and yellow blobs on a nearby monitor.
We look like, you know, funny rainbow people. But it's representing surface temperatures of the object it's looking at.

For the most part, windows aren't good insulators. They leak heat in the winter and let heat in during the summer. Many homes still have single-pane windows which, as this promotional film explains, were the name of the game during the post-World War II building boom.

Entire walls of glass take advantage of California's sunshine. And glass walls like these are cheaper to construct and maintain, since this California climate makes insulation unnecessary.

Of course, insulation is necessary, as the country found out when energy prices skyrocketed in the 1970s. Double-pane windows became common, and then came double-pane windows with invisible coatings which are twice as efficient. Today, they make up more than half of windows sold. At a hardware store, these are labeled low-e windows.

When sunlight shines through a window, it provides both light and heat. Most of us want light coming in. But heat is the last thing we want on a hot summer day.

If you have a few windows in a room with direct sun on them, it's equivalent to running a little space heater.

So this coating blocks the heat from the sun while letting in the light. But here's the problem: On a cold winter day, that extra heat from the sun would be helpful.

You'd actually like that solar energy to come in and help heat the space. So that motivates the idea of a dynamic window.

At the lab's Molecular Foundry, Delia Milliron is developing a smart window, a window that can change based on the weather. So, nanocrystals are very small that's why when we spread them out in a coating on the window, you don't see anything.

In one setting, the coating lets in the light and heat from the sun. But apply a small electric current...It's only a couple of volts, so that - what you can get from a normal battery.

That's enough to change the charge of the nanocrystals so they block the heat from the sun, but not the light.Milliron says that ideally these windows would be controlled by your heating and cooling system. That means windows could make buildings more efficient instead of being the energy losers they've always been. All that lost energy costs money, says Stephen Selkowitz, head of building technologies at Berkeley Lab.

It costs homeowners about $40 billion a year. And I'd rather have the 40 billion in my pocket than sort of sending it out the window.

Smart windows could be widely available in as little as three years, but they won't be cheap, possibly twice as much as today's windows. The cost should come down as manufacturing ramps up. And one day, smart windows could be written into buildings codes, where the technology would have a much broader impact.
