Major OS Showdown w/ Windows Tests Are Imminent

While this year we have already delivered a number of notable articles and benchmarks, right now we are on the heels of delivering our most extensive set of benchmarks yet. We are in the process of comparing the performance of Windows 7 x64, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and Mac OS X 10.6.3 (likely FreeBSD 8.0 and OpenSolaris 2010.03 too) across multiple systems. By early May the first of these numbers will be published.
For months we have been working on
Windows support for the Phoronix Test Suite
and after
driving the initial support
back in December in Germany, the second part of this native support upbringing is landing this week. This is coming a month after we announced
Windows benchmarking is coming soon
In fact, hitting
Phoronix Global
over the past 24 hours the first of our Windows benchmarks have been published (though they're not part of this forthcoming article series). So far it's mostly been OpenGL games being pushed up like
Urban Terror
and even
Unigine Heaven
There's a handful of test profiles already running nicely on Windows 7 via the Phoronix Test Suite, but many more are in the process of receiving Windows compatibility -- once the initial pts-core was in place for Windows, the process of bringing more test profiles over has become increasingly simple via our unique automated testing framework. Phoronix Test Suite 2.6 "Lyngen" is now set to run solidly on Linux, Mac OS X, OpenSolaris, Windows, and *BSD platforms.
Our first article out in May involving Windows will be a look at the OpenGL performance between Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and Mac OS X 10.6.3. The *BSDs will be thrown in too if the Linux binaries end up running well on at least FreeBSD 8.0. This testing will consist of at least three systems (perhaps more) being used for good hardware coverage. As of right now though we have yet to receive an Apple system from AMD with ATI graphics, so our Mac OS X testing may be limited to Mac Minis with Intel and NVIDIA graphics.
Following this first gaming / OpenGL look across the operating system spectrum, we will have more benchmarks looking at the performance of Windows 7 to Linux on netbooks, workstations, and more. All of this is being handled in a fully automated and repeatable manner using the
Phoronix Test Suite
. We can assure you these Windows test will be especially interesting. Even our test suite was able to spot some interesting
regressions in Mac OS X 10.6.3
If you are interested in these forthcoming articles, be sure to read

Pick: A French feel
Before you head to the party store looking for décor ideas,
sit down, look at some pictures of Paris for inspiration and come up with a
concept that'll come across to your guests. For springtime in Paris, a soft
pastel palette is oh-so pretty. For a Bastille
Day bash, think of the French flag and its colors: blue, white and red. For
something terribly chic, go for monochromatic black and white. And for an
over-the-top, girly-girl look, consider pink with rich accents or designs.
Think: Makeover
Inside or out, small room or large, any space you have
available will work for this party…you just need to be creative. We love what this party-planning guru did to this
simple indoor/outdoor patio area. Disguise plain walls by hanging streamers or
ribbons from ceiling to floor. Head to a local farmer's market to pick up piles
of fresh flowers on the cheap—or, ask guests to bring a bouquet of their
favorite blooms instead of gifts.
Listen: La vie en
Set the tone as soon as your guests walk in with songs
straight from the streets of the City of Light. You don't need to crank it up,
just turn up the volume enough so strains of old-fashioned French music can be
heard as you talk and laugh and munch your way through the day.
Get started with this
vintage French playlist from Spotify…
Sip: A little bubbly
Leave champagne for the adults—we've got something even
tastier. Pick up a few bottled of sparkling lemonade. Keep them cool in a
vintage-looking ice bucket, and ask Mom if you can borrow her good champagne
glasses for the occasion. Getting a no on that one? Instead, head to a party
store and grab a set of good-looking fakes. Might be pricier than the
bottom-dollar versions, but you can wash and reuse for other parties, too.
Shop 'til ya drop:
Anders-Ruff has tons of coordinating printable décor ideas for your party.
Bite: Adorable desserts
The French are known for their food, so instead of offering
just one choice for everyone, consider
going with a buffet. For a main course, think baguettes and a spread of
cured meats, cheeses and veggies. A good local bakery will have everything you
need for dessert, like cream puffs, éclairs, croissants. Or, you can whip up
your own treats. Try our rosewater
cupcakes to start. We also love these
crafty Eiffel Tower treats, made from wafer cookies and icing.

Bandits are preying on pumpers who don't lock their car doors.
It's happening at a pump near you. Wonder what a slider is? Don't worry many folks we talked to didn't know either.
"The only thing I know is it's a hamburger," said one man.
Well sliders go in your cars while you're pumping gas and take your personal items.
"I think that's a shame but I think it has a lot to do with the economy," said one pumper.
When Local 8 News looked inside his car, we found his wife's wallet on the floor.
We caught another man pumping gas with his door wide open.
"Sometimes I leave the door open. Sometimes I leave it unlocked. A lot of times I forget," said Tom Walker.
During just 30 minutes at the gas station we spotted more than three people pumping gas, without pressing the locks.

Insulating an Attic - Spray Foam in the Rafters v. Cellulose on the Floor
My house is a single story ranch in Connecticut and it was built in 1957. The attic has about 4-5 inches of fiberglass insulation in the floor of the attic, but it is matted down after all these years. I believe Im a losing a lot of heat through the attic so I want to fix this issue.
I would not convert that attic to a conditioned space.
Blowing in insulation after you air seal the floor will be much more cost effective and safe.
In order to put SPF on the underside of the roof, he will have to cover it with an intumescent paint and they are expensive as well as offensive to the nose/lungs.
You don't have to necessarily removing the fiberglass on the floor as long as it does not have any feces or urine in it from animals.
I agree. Figure you have around R-16 there now, http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/...fiberglass.JPG
adding cellulose would bring it to (at least) code minimum of R-38; http://energycode.pnl.gov/EnergyCode...te=Connecticut
I am amazed they would be even close to the same price... the newer com. SPF is probably $$$ with a built-in, wish I had stock in that company.....http://www.dow.com/news/press-releas...icle/?id=6436;
You'd need about 3"SPF to get to R-20 (preventing condensation), per code, then other fill to standard code; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...rchterm=attic+
Conditioned attic may require an impermeable membrane under the shingles and does reduce the asphalt shingle life-span by 10%; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...on?full_view=1

International Race for the Cure Recap: Bosnia and Puerto Rico
In 2008, we were very proud to have expanded the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® series beyond its domestic Komen Affiliate network by establishing successful partnerships with leading nonprofit organizations from around the world to organize Race for the Cure events outside of the United States. The International Race series has changed the way communities around the world view and react to the words "breast cancer" and how breast cancer survivors are regarded in their respective countries.
While each International Race is unique, they all have the common goal of increasing breast cancer awareness, providing a sense of hope and community to those who have suffered from the disease and educating the public and local governments about breast health. Race events create a positive environment in which breast cancer is put in the public eye. Despite local taboos, we have seen the power of women around the world breaking the silence about breast cancer. On Race day, brave survivors acknowledge their disease and continue to dispel myths about breast cancer, serving as ambassadors for the cause. As a result, other survivors feel hopeful and women are empowered to take control of their health.
But the impact of our International Race series doesn't stop on Race day. Thanks to these events, local survivor support groups have been established, access to screening, diagnosis and treatment has been increased, breast cancer awareness programs for key target groups have been created, and patient support programs continue to grow.
Over the past month, Race events took place in Belgium, Greece, Germany, Italy, Puerto Rico, Bosnia & Herzegovina, the Republic of Georgia and Tanzania. In this four-part series , we recap these international events while providing information about their local mission work.
We continue the series with recaps from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Puerto Rico.
Wrapping Up Another Year of Racing for the Cure
From San Diego to Shreveport, survivors and supporters put on their pink to support the last three Races of 2013.
On Saturday, November 2, a sea of pink covered Balboa Park in sunny San Diego as more than 13,000 people attended the 17th annual Susan G. Komen San Diego Race for the Cure®.
"The Race for the Cure is fun and festive, but this Race is more than just a celebration," said Laura Farmer Sherman, executive director of Komen San Diego. "The Race provides critical funding for families in San Diego County touched by breast cancer."
A One of a Kind Donation
Guest post by Julie Guevara, Marketing & Communications Manager, Komen Orange County.
Susan G. Komen Orange County recently embarked on an exciting partnership with MemorialCare Medical Group and the Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank at the Indiana University Simon Cancer Center. The Komen Tissue Bank (KTB) is the only repository in the world for normal breast tissue and matched serum, plasma and DNA. To more deeply understand the evolution of breast cancer, it is necessary to compare abnormal, cancerous tissue against normal, healthy tissue. By studying normal tissue, research for the causes and prevention of the disease may be accelerated.
While the Komen Tissue Bank is not in their service area, Komen Orange County organized the event with the goal of helping to diversify the pool of specimens. On Saturday, November 2, the Komen Tissue Bank collected healthy breast tissue samples from 201 Orange County women of Asian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Tongan, Hispanic, African-American and Caucasian descent. Two Komen Orange County staff members and four Affiliate board members were also among those who donated healthy breast tissue at the event. This was the first time a collection event has been held on the West Coast.
The idea for the collection came after three Orange County women, Charlene Kazner, a Hawaiian Islander living in Garden Grove; Angela Acevedo-Malouf, a Latina living in Mission Viejo; and Jang Pang, of Chinese and Japanese descent of Huntington Beach, flew to Indianapolis so researchers could extract and store samples of their healthy breast tissue for the Komen Tissue Bank. Then they brought their experience and their passion for inclusion of diverse populations in breast cancer research back to Orange County.
#GivingTuesday is tomorrow!
We're back from Thanksgiving break today and I hope that everyone's holiday was safe and happy. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday behind us, I'm very excited about #GivingTuesday tomorrow, December 3rd. I hope you are, too.
Set for the Tuesday after Thanksgiving each year, Giving Tuesday is becoming a movement all on its own – a time to remember those who need our help during the holidays and beyond. Charities, families, businesses, community centers and others are coming together to contribute to their communities and make this the biggest giving season yet.
More than 50 million people participated in the inaugural Giving Tuesday last year, donating more than $10 million to start the giving season in the U.S. That's huge. And we can do even better this year.
I hope that you'll join the millions of people making a difference, by donating or showing your support for Komen using #GivingTuesday in your posts on Facebook and Twitter. You can become a social media ambassador for this day or share your story: there are many ideas on the Giving Tuesday website: www.givingtuesday.org.
Pink makes it possible!
Every year, thousands of individuals and corporations across the country participate in Susan G. Komen Passionately Pink®, a fundraising program that supports individuals and organizations who want to help end breast cancer in their communities and across the country.
All of our Passionately Pink fundraisers come up with the most amazing ideas to support our mission to end breast cancer! Whether it's holding a casual pink-out day at work, hosting a bake sale, or turning volleyball game pink – it's the creative fundraising from our passionate supporters that's helped us raise more than $23 million since Passionately Pink began in 2006!
This week, we were excited to welcome one of our top fundraisers, Account Control Technology (ACT), to our offices. For the past two years, ACT has participated in the Passionately Pink program. This year alone, ACT offices in California, Texas and Ohio held bake sales, cook-outs and a variety of contests, raising more than $31,000 for Passionately Pink and bringing ACT's total donation to more than $50,000!

Caught on video: Bayou sinkhole swallows trees
Officials in Assumption Parish recorded the sinkhole in Bayou Corne swallowing a cluster of trees in less than a minute Wednesday.
The sinkhole pulled the trees down into the water with nearby water funneling down with it.
The video recorded by parish officials was posted to YouTube on Wednesday night.
The Louisiana governor's office and the attorney general have sued the company, Texas Brine, that owns the salt dome cavern that was blamed for the expanding sinkhole.
The lawsuit came after a year when an evacuation order was mandated to the hundreds of homeowners who lived nearby.
Texas Brine is negotiating buyouts.
In May 2012, Assumption Parish authorities responded to a report of bubbles in Bayou Corne, which is a sign of natural gas in the aquifer.
The governor's office declared a state of emergency in August, and Assumption Parish ordered a mandatory evacuation for the 350 people living there.
Since the original bubble site was found, other sites have been reported, and the state and parish are investigating each one of them, sampling, monitoring them and actually taking video of each one of them to see if they get worse.
Dozens of air monitors have been installed in and around residents' homes checking for elevated gas levels that could be explosive.

|Bruins prepare for Game 5 vs. Canadiens
|05.10.14 at 11:40 am ET
Milan Lucic was the only absence from the Bruins' morning skate Saturday, though different players have been kept off the ice for practices and morning skates throughout the postseason for rest's sake.
Lucic skated Friday and was spotted in the Bruins' dressing room after Saturday's skate, so it's best to assume that the player was simply taking his option, as Carl Soderberg did Thursday before playing in Game 4.
All other players were on the ice for the B's, including Dennis Seidenberg. The veteran defenseman has still yet to take contact as he tries to work his way back from a torn ACL/MCL.
Game 5 of the second round against the Canadiens will be played Saturday night at TD Garden. The series is tied, 2-2.
|Pierre McGuire on M&M: 'Bruins really played a methodical, smart, surgical kind of game last night'
|05.09.14 at 1:35 pm ET
NBC Sports hockey analyst Pierre McGuire joined Mut & Merloni on Friday to discuss the Bruins' Game 4 overtime win against Montreal. To hear the interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
Matt Fraser, who played in his first playoff game on Thursday, became an unlikely hero when he scored 1:19 into overtime to give the Bruins a 1-0 win in Game 4.
"You could almost sense it coming from that line, to be perfectly honest," McGuire said. "I made that point a lot during the broadcast. I thought both [Carl] Soderberg wanted it off the crossbar, [Loui] Eriksson was really pushing the pace and obviously Fraser fit in really well with them. Peter Chiarelli and the scouting staff of the Bruins and Bruce Cassidy out in Providence deserve a lot of credit.
"This is a kid who was an undrafted player coming out of the Western Hockey League, and he's part of a big trade last summer with Rich Peverley going the other way and Tyler Seguin going the other way. He fits in so well. It was just a ping-pong play off the back board.
"I thought the Bruins really played a methodical, smart, surgical kind of game last night."
The Bruins have had just two penalties during the past two games of the series.
"I just think they're worried about taking penalties," McGuire said. "The Bruins win that double-overtime game in Game 1, they become more of a beast, more physical, but they went down 0-1 in the series. They knew they couldn't go down 0-2, they had to scramble to win Game 2, they lose Game 3 and now they're saying, 'Uh-oh, we cannot allow these guys to get man advantages,' so they changed a little bit of their dynamic. I also think heading into tomorrow's game, now that it's 2-2 and heading back to Boston, I truly believe we'll see a more physical Bruins team, more like the Bruins team the fans in Boston are used to seeing."
The first line has consistently struggled throughout the series with Jarome Iginla, David Krejci and Milan Lucic combining for a total of five shots during Thursday's game.
"Just for whatever reason, David Krejci looks a little fatigued to me," McGuire said. "I think today maybe he gets a day off and he goes into the game tomorrow energized and he plays a little bit better, but he wasn't managing the puck well during that game, especially during the power play. They need to be better, and I think they will be better. I think the biggest part of it was Krejci with the Olympics, with all the games he played last year, the fact that he's not an overly large guy. I think there's a fatigue factor with him."
|Peter Chiarelli mum on Dennis Seidenberg, Bruins defense's moving parts
|05.07.14 at 2:35 pm ET
BROSSARD, Quebec — Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli made himself available to the media Wednesday at Bell Sports Complex, but there was no special announcement or message revealed.
It's very rare for general managers to speak during a series, and when they do, it's with a specific message in mind. Chiarelli had none, and he opened the availability by declining comment in response to a question about whether Dennis Seidenberg could be close to a return.
"I'm not going to comment on that," Chiarelli said. "I haven't all last series or this series. "He is skating, as you can see and stuff, but that's all I can say."
Seidenberg, who had surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL in early January, has been skating for weeks and is now practicing with the team. He has still yet to take contact, which would rule out any shot at him returning this series. The veteran defenseman told the Boston Globe Tuesday that he feels ready to play, but the lack of contact would suggest he isn't close enough.
As for the players the B's have used to fill Seidenberg's spot on the left side of the second pairing, Chiarelli was asked about his confidence in Matt Bartkowski and Andrej Meszaros. Bartkowski missed the first two games of the first round with the flu, but after struggling in Games 4 and 5 against Detroit and taking the penalty that led to P.K. Subban's double-overtime goal in Game 1 of the second round, was benched in favor of Meszaros.
Meszaros hasn't fared much better, as he also took a penalty that led to a power play goal in Game 2 and he had a poor showing in Game 3 even considering that he shot the puck that Jarome Iginla tipped past Carey Price with 2:16 remaining. The low point of the game for Meszaros was when Dale Weise slipped past both he and Johnny Boychuk, leading to a breakaway goal after Daniel Briere sent a pass up to the fourth-liner.
Given both players' struggles, it's anyone's guess as to who the Bruins will go with for Thursday's Game 4.
'That's a lineup decision," Chiarelli said. "These guys have been good for us. Bart has been good for us. He had to come in when Seidenberg got hurt. And he had to find his game and he had to fit in, and he's done that. He got sick and he got out of sync a little bit. Mez, we acquired Mez in a trade. I didn't mind his game last night. I know there's … I think everyone can make a mistake here or there. He made a good play on the goal. So my confidence level is really irrelevant.'
|Daniel Paille cleared to play, Bruins glad to have Dennis Seidenberg practicing
|04.29.14 at 1:18 pm ET
Bruins forward Daniel Paille said after Tuesday's practice that he has been cleared to play after recovering from a suspected head injury.
Paille hit his head on the ice after a hit from Jake McCabe on April 12 and missed the entire first-round series against the Red Wings. Given that Paille had two concussions earlier in the season, he said Tuesday that the team was extra careful in bringing him back this time.
"Because it's my third injury this year, there's a lot more precautions to kind of rule out," Paille said. "I believe I could have played midway through the series — I didn't feel like I had too long of any symptoms/injuries — but there was a lot of precautions and I had to continue with that process."
Paille began taking light contact last Thursday, but Tuesday's practice saw him participate in battle drills. As for the notion that he could have been brought back sooner, Claude Julien said the Bruins simply followed protocol during the last round.
"I waited for the OK from our doctors. That's basically what I waited for," Julien said. "To say that he might have been ready, I needed to know that he was ready. I know he's ready for the next round now."
Paille practiced Tuesday on Patrice Bergeron's line in place of Brad Marchand, who did not practice. With Paille back, the assumption is that he will slide back into his old spot on the fourth line in place of Jordan Caron. Julien cautioned against assuming Paille is in the lineup just because he is cleared, but there is no doubt that Paille would be an asset against the speedy Habs.
"We'll see where we are, guys," Julien said. "The series hasn't started yet and we haven't made any decisions yet. Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here."
Dennis Seidenberg also practiced Tuesday, but he did not take contact. Julien said that Seidenberg is skating with the team to prevent the "boredom" that comes from skating on his own each day. Seidenberg was initially ruled out for the season after tearing his ACL/MCL in late December, but he is well ahead of schedule in his recovery.
"It's great to see. It gives you an emotional lift to see your teammate battling like he's been battling just to be better," Bergeron said. "Obviously he's been doing that for a while. It's nice to see him back out there, and obviously I don't know what the timeline is there."

|Dennis Seidenberg, Daniel Paille practice with Bruins
|at 11:22 am ET
The Bruins returned to practice Tuesday at TD Garden, with Daniel Paille and Dennis Seidenberg both participating. Chris Kelly, Corey Potter and Brad Marchand were all absent.
Paille, who has been cleared for contact since last Thursday, participated in battle drills and skated on Patrice Bergeron's line in place of Marchand. Seidenberg did not take contact.
Seidenberg skated on an extra pairing with Andrej Meszaros, with the rest of the lineup looking like this:
Lucic – Krejci – Iginla
Paille – Bergeron – Smith
Florek – Soderberg – Eriksson
Caron – Campbell – Thornton
Chara – Hamilton
Bartkowski – Boychuk
Krug – Miller

|Matt Bartkowski, Daniel Paille, Dennis Seidenberg, Adam McQuaid take part in optional Bruins practice
|04.21.14 at 12:47 pm ET
The Bruins held an optional non-contact practice Monday at TD Garden before departing for Detroit to play Games 3 and 4 of their first-round series against the Red Wings.
Matt Bartkowski, who has not played in either of the first two games due to a stomach flu, did take part in the skate. After skating together earlier in the day, Dennis Seidenberg and Adam McQuaid also participated in the practice. Daniel Paille, Chad Johnson and Corey Potter were the other participants.
Paille, who hasn't played in since April 12, has been skating since Friday. Chris Kelly has not skated since April 8.
Regarding Paille and Kelly, Julien said that both players have been out of game action long enough that they would need to take contact in practice before playing.
As for Seidenberg, who has been ahead of his recovery from ACL/MCL surgery from early January, Julien said that he is isn't overly surprised that Seidenberg has been skating for nearly two weeks. Seidenberg was expected to miss the rest of the season and be out for 6-8 months.
"I guess according to our trainers and our doctors, they thought he'd be going through that process and at one point he'd be skating before next season," Julien said. "So he's on track right now, probably even a little ahead of the curve because of his conditioning and how strong he was, even before that injury. I guess he's a well-trained individual, and those guys have a tendency — athletes have a tendency — to recover a little quicker than the normal person. He's on that track right now."
The Bruins won't rule out a potential return for Seidenberg this season, though they say they're not expecting it to happen. The fact that Seidenberg is skating more and more and taking sharper turns would suggest the possibility that he could play if the team makes a deep run. Julien said he's not getting overly excited.
"Because nobody's told me anything that would get me excited, that's why," Julien said. "I went to our trainers and asked if it was OK for him and McQuaid to skate with the rest of our team because there's no contact, no drills. It's the same drills they did when they went on the ice earlier. A lot of it is for encouragement reason. Just those two on the ice together for a while gets tough, but being out there with more players and do a little more, it's exciting for them. I thought mentally, it would be a good opportunity to meet with the rest of the guys because of the type of practice we were having."
|Chris Kelly, Daniel Paille, Matt Bartkowski miss Bruins practice again; Dennis Seidenberg increases workload
|04.17.14 at 1:04 pm ET
Chris Kelly, Daniel Paille and Matt Bartkowski were all absent from Thursday's practice, which puts their availability for the start of their series against the Red Wings in question. Kevan Miller, who had not practiced Tuesday or Wednesday, did return to practice.
Following the practice, Claude Julien wouldn't rule any of the three out.
Paille has not played since leaving the team's win over the Sabres last Saturday with what appeared to be a head injury, while Kelly sat out the last three games of the season with back spasms. Neither have practiced this week, while Bartkowski, who didn't have any injury-related absences from games this season, has been off the ice as well. He may be dealing with the flu, as several Bruins had been sick earlier in the week.
"I don't know that it's official yet on any of that stuff," Julien said. "Today was another day where we had another player, so we'll see what tomorrow brings. It's hard for me to start giving you my lineup when I don't know what's going to happen day to day. Hopefully it continues to improve, which it has this week, and we'll go from there."
Dennis Seidenberg skated again prior to practice Thursday, which marked at least the fourth consecutive day in which he took the ice. Seidenberg did the same routine that he had done in recent days (big laps, smaller circles in the neutral zones, shooting and moving laterally across the blueline), but added a drill in which he skated out to a cone and took a tight turn before catching a pass and turning. Tighter turns would suggest further progress as he tests what his surgically repaired right knee can handle. Video of that drill is below.

As a woman I fully appreciate the daily irritations we face just for being of the fairer sex. From too tight pencil skirts that make us walk like a penguin, to
Thankfully Triumph have resolved one issue that we often face – the pain of an uncomfortable wired bra. Whilst a necessity to have in your wardrobe or underwear drawer there is nothing worse than having to put up with an essential that gives you nothing but grief. Often distracting you at work or when you are out with friends, which is completely unnecessary. But with their Magic Wire product this isn't something you need worry about any longer.
Personally I think that it is important to spend money on underwear as if you do it will see you through thick and thin, ensuring you are fully supported and comfortable. Buying cheaper underwear is a false economy, my belief is if you buy cheap you buy twice. You will be throwing out that cheap underwear set long before your slightly more expensive one looks like it has been worn at all!
To celebrate the genius behind the fixing of this common problem, Triumph have launched a Twitter hashtag for women across the country to share their niggles and have advice sent to them from those that have faced the same issues. Use the #nigglefix hashtag to share your grievances about jeans that end up with saggy bottoms or hair that remains frizzy no matter how many products you apply or how warm/humid/cold/wet the weather!
I would have to admit that my main #nigglefix is frizzy hair. No matter what I do, where I go or how I do my hair it still remain completely uncontrollable and looks entirely like I have rubbed a balloon against it before stepping out the door. Does anybody have any advice to combat this irritating problem?
What's your #nigglefix?

Your wardrobe isn't the only thing that changes as summer turns into autumn. As the temperature drops, other areas of your bedroom can benefit from a few home décor tweaks. These four simple updates will turn your bedroom into a cosy retreat during the colder months.
Before you rush out to buy the home accessories you need to keep out the cold and transform your bedroom in a luxurious haven, it is wise to consider a theme. The first step is to choose a seasonal colour theme or a pattern that reflects the season. For an autumnal theme, stick to dark brown or orange hues or deep purple shades when buying accessories. These colours can add a rustic touch to your home and work especially well if you already have a range of oak furniture or traditional oak doors from somewhere like Todd Doors or The English Door Company. Wood furniture complements autumnal colours nicely and gives your room a cosy log cabin feel. Using accent colours like these combined with oak accents can help you to create a glorious autumn inspired room.
Cable Knit Throws and Cushions
An autumn bedroom simply isn't complete without cosy blankets, luxurious throws and plush cushions. As the colder nights start to draw in, dust off your winter duvet and spruce up your bedroom with a flurry of cosy accessories. Preparing for colder nights is easy. Opt for feather print bedding or a similar autumn themed pattern, cashmere throws and oversized cushions in complementary colours.
A Gallery Wall
Big blank walls make a room feel bare and unwelcoming. Gallery walls like this one on Pinterest are a great way to make a room feel inviting. Choose a statement piece of art for one of your walls or decorate it will an eclectic mix of frames and photos. You can use anything from photos of family and friends to inspirational quotes or illustrations. Choose frames of different colours, shapes and sizes to provide the space with a bit of personality.
Bedside Table Styling
Stocking your bedside tables with creature comforts can help to add functionality and style to your room over the colder months. This space is the ideal backdrop for displaying elegant autumnal accessories. A helpful trick is to use accessories of different heights to achieve a striking display. Start with a lamp to illuminate the area and add a scented candle that boast a fragrance associated with the season. Trinket trays, a vase full of fresh flowers, a stack of books and a couple of bedtime beauty essentials are also a welcome addition to your nightstand. Less is always more when it comes to decorating a small space such as a bedside table so avoid piling it high with accessories as this may result in the space looking cluttered.
So, there you have it, four things that your bedroom needs this autumn. How will be you prepare your bedroom for autumn?

It's around that time of year where I give in to the fact that Summer is fading and make moves to update my wardrobe for the Autumn and Winter seasons.
I have been browsing my favourite websites and putting together a wishlist of key pieces that will take me through to Spring, trying to include pieces that I know I can easily use in a variety of outfits.
I came across some images from the Very website and fell in love with several pieces of Fearne Cotton's Very AW13 collection!
Not only does the woman herself look smoking but the pieces are just what I need to add new styles, shapes and textures to my previously Summer orientated wardrobe.
Pleather shorts are also something I will definitely be adding to my winter wardrobe, although I am debating wether to choose a cranberry or black pair! They are so easy to dress up or down, adding tights and a jumper will keep them casual enough for the daytime and colder winter months.
What do you think of Fearne's AW13 collection?

If you have been following me on Twitter you will have seen that this bank holiday weekend I paid my first ever visit to Notting Hill Carnival. I have previously heard a lot about the event but never attended, so I was really excited to go this year and find out what it was all about.
The first things that hit you on arrival at the carnival were the ridiculous amounts of people and the sounds of horns and whistles. As the apartment I booked was directly in the centre of Notting Hill we didn't have to walk far to stumble across a sound system or stall selling jerk chicken!
I used the LG G3 at the event and the high quality camera meant it was the perfect accessory. It captured the colours and sights far better than my digital camera, it really is the best smartphone camera I have used to date!
This year carnival was 50 years old and it is easy to see why the tradition has continued as long as it has. It is an opportunity for people to come together on the streets of London and simply have a good time! People of all cultures and classes were dancing together as they watched the carnival pass and chatting over a rum punch – from a coconut shell no less!
Of course with any event like this, fashion is often at the forefront! I previously did a post on suggestions of things to wear on the day (here) but these ideas were nothing compared to what people wore at the carnival! Of course bright colours were everywhere, but there was also a slight festival fashion edge too with floral crowns and short-shorts making an appearance! It was probably as good a place to catch some street style shots than as outside Somerset House for LFW!
I had a really great time, it was fun to meet new people and dance in the streets – not something you can get away with in London generally!
I was also incredibly lucky to attend on the Sunday when the sun was shining all day, rather than Monday were sadly the rain didn't stop! I am sure that did not entirely spoil the carnival vibe however – what's a little bit of rain when you are having fun?
Did you go to Notting Hill Carnival?

Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel.1974 Arabian Nights Days fantasy movie by Ray Harryhausen starring John Philip Law, Tom Baker, and Caroline Munro's Cleavage.Sinbad the Sailor searches for the lost continent of Lemuria with the help of his trusty crew along with the disfigured Grand Vizier of Marabia and the perpetually under-dressed ex-slavegirl Margiana. Along the way they will battle the evil sorcerer Prince Koura and encounter fantastic creatures such as the griffin and -in the film's most technically stunning moment — a six-armed statue of Kali brought to life through Koura's magic.With special effects by Ray Harryhausen and a musical score by Mikl�s R�zsa (who also scored the 1940 version of The Thief of Bagdad) The Golden Voyage of Sinbad is definitely an enjoyable experience — they don't make 'em like this anymore.Not to be confused with the MST3K-featured The Magic Voyage of Sinbad (actually the film Sadko).

yummy and filling and kid approved! taken from the web. i've used frozen (or fresh) bananas instead of the sugar and add them to the blender part. i've also subbed splenda (both brown sugar and regular) before. i usually use 2 or 3 T of multigrain cereal from Hodgson's Mill rather than the wheat germ and semola. these freeze really well.

Conservatism: The GOP insurgency failed to advance its worthy cause on Tuesday and needs to ask itself why. One hint — it's not enough just to beat the establishment in primaries.
No one has trademarked "tea party," so we can't be sure every group claiming the label truly wants to advance the principles of free enterprise, liberty and fidelity to the Constitution. One example: A new website calling itself the "Tea Party News Network" offered a "none of the above" endorsement just before the Nov. 6 election.
That's like saying Barack Obama and Mitt Romney had no meaningful difference of opinion on, say, taxes and limited government. That's just not so.
But let's agree there's a genuine tea party movement of (mostly) Republicans who want to return to conservative basics and fight the corrupting influence of special-interest money wedded to political power.
We endorse those goals and believe millions of others share them. But we worry this mostly unorganized citizen army of reformers is in danger of losing its way and wasting its energy. Tuesday was not a good day for it. Nor, really, was the general election of 2010.
Now the movement has to ask itself what role it wants to play in the future because, so far, the tea party's been better at winning primaries than November elections.
In the Senate this time, it had successes nominating insurgents Richard Mourdock (Indiana), Todd Akin (Missouri) and Ted Cruz (Texas). But Mourdock and Akin badly lost the final vote in states Romney won easily.
Akin, shunned by the national GOP after claiming a contraceptive effect for "legitimate rape," ran more than 14 percentage points behind Romney in Missouri. Mourdock, who unwisely opined that pregnancy from rape was God's will, trailed Romney by about 10 points.
Cruz roughly matched Romney's Texas winning margin. So it could be said tea party favorites lost the GOP two seats it should have won — just as, in 2010, flawed tea party candidates lost in Nevada and Delaware.
No, such bad choices aren't the only reasons the GOP holds only 45 Senate seats. But they haven't helped.
Some of these misfires can be excused if the insurgency brings new energy to the party — firing up the base, raising turnout and producing a new crop of leaders.
Even the Goldwater revolution,which led to crushing defeat in 1964, made possible Ronald Reagan and the GOP's resurgence as a conservative party. Today, tea party favorites like Marco Rubio are the GOP's hope.
But this year, the tea party lit no fires in the key state of Ohio, where Romney got 91,000 fewer votes (based on unofficial totals) than John McCain did in 2008.
Just by matching McCain, Romney would have been only 12,000 votes shy of beating Obama, whose totals were far below 2008. Clearly, the Republicans need a tea party push. Can they count on it next time?
No doubt some would like today's Republican Party to be replaced by something purer — as did the former Goldwaterites who started the Libertarian Party, which remains pure and powerless to this day.
As real reformers know, it's fine to talk about cleaning up the mess in Washington, but first you and your broom have to get through the door.

A Not only has it lasted significantly longer than typical -- three to six years -- I suspect you're now on borrowed time with the battery. Batteries always seem to last until, well, you need them most. You can have the battery load tested to determine how many amperes of current it can deliver to crank the engine, then compare that to its original rating. I suspect it will be at something less than half of its original capacity.

14 Ways to Look and Feel Younger This Year
Embrace the new year by treating yourself right, and it won't even feel like another year has gone by.
Kick That Bad Habit
To ensure your sperm army is ready for action when you need it, kick those butts. According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, smoking cigarettes not only whittles your sperm count, it also causes abnormalities in their shape and function. Research shows that free radicals from smoke can damage up to 40 percent of your sperm. Even if you don't light up, you're likely exposed to these ball busters through second-hand smoke and pollution. Fight back by filling your diet with antioxidants. "Just two Brazil nuts provide the recommended amount of selenium, which helps prevent cellular damage," says Peggy Kotsopoulos, nutritionist and host of Peggy K's Kitchen Cures on Veria Living. It's not a bad idea to slurp a few oysters as well. A study in Nutrition Research states that seminal zinc in nonsmokers positively correlates with sperm count.
