Sticky Tahr-fy pudding: Ubuntu 14.04 slickest Linux desktop ever
Have they fixed the irritatingly shit window resizing borders?
Every time I've tried to use Ubuntu, I've been thwarted by the unnecessarily fiddly window edges which make it strangely incredibly difficult to resize windows.
Well, until recently anyway, when fortunately the Unity interface put me off going any further before I even bothered trying to resize any windows.
Plusnet shunts blame for dodgy DNS traffic onto customers' routers
Re: For me there is a basic question
The Thomson routers Plusnet provided were prone to simply seizing and needed rebooting about 2-3 times a day, due to a VOIP scanning issue; a probe for VOIP services would freeze the router.
I discovered this because I had to run up and down two flights of stairs every time it happened, several times a day.
I bought a Cisco router to replace it. Problem still occurred. Most vexed, I turned to Cisco support forums, and discovered the firmware the Cisco router came with suffered from exactly the same problem as the shitty consumer Thomson router.
The crucial difference was *the Cisco router could be patched*. And so all my troubles finished.
Facebook user locked out of account even with ID
Doesn't help to have an unusual name...
I was locked out of my Facebook account a year ago - apparently only "real people are allowed to have accounts on Facebook." I pointed out that I'd spent a fair amount of money advertising through them over the previous year and that though I may have a slightly unusual name it was reasonably obvious I was a real person. My account was reinstated a week later without much of an explanation as to why it was flagged in the first place.

Yes, really.
Top Ten Retro PC Games
As someone previously said, those games are just "old"

Shameless plug! But the register has wasted years of my life so I think they can share the love.

Microsoft's Silverlight 4 - more than Flash envy
Much nerd rage in here
I thought the days of childish Microsoft bashing were long gone as the nerderati have switched their attentions to the Fourth Reich (Apple)?
What's all this pointless Silverlight bashing from anonymous cowards who've never used it (and who also claim to have never installed Flash. Well I suppose it won't run on your Lynx browser anyway eh?)? It does what it says on the tin, it works, people can use it to make stuff. Go and rant somewhere else!
And to think I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Java developer, too, defending it.
Sun's cloud and gaming execs leave Oracle
Cheerio ChrisM
Well, a big goodbye to Chris Melissinos from Puppygames, he was one of the few people to believe in a Java games studio and a tremendous help to us over the years. It is a great shame he wasn't really given the resources to achieve his goals at Sun.
Cas :)
Steve Wozniak, your time is up
Indeed he may have done fuck all of note for 20 years but it might be prudent not to take the piss out of how fat he is (and he isn't massively fat anyway). I bet half the Reg readership are in the "overweight" or "obese" BMI categories anyway.
PC Gamers get Bill of Rights
Re: 2 & 3
Why the hell should it be a *right* to receive *free stuff* for a game you buy?
Tux, for the freetards.
Snap Sun decision launches Java at iPhone
Good news for me though...
because then all my Java games will be a cinch to port to it, especially as they use OpenGL too. Who'd have thought it?
Paranoid partners to get GPS snooper
I'll just stick one in me bike then if some toerag tries to half-inch it I'll be able to wait till it's stopped moving and turn up with a van full of very angry bikers and some cricket bats.
Nine Inch Nails cracks net distribution (maybe)
Indie gaming's been doing it for years
We've been doing "free demos" with limited content and looking at optimising our conversion rates with clever upsell techniques for years and years now at Puppygames and then this music guy suddenly does exactly the same thing the rest of us have been doing since teh intarnets were invented and he's hailed as a genius?? Gah. Is there something fundamentally wrong with everyone in the music industry?
The Return of iTuneski
Re: Awesome news!
Steev, it may have escaped your attention but the reason why we use Allofmp3.com is because it gives us what we want, and none of the other online music vendors do. The others:
1. Give us stuff recorded at shitty bitrates in formats we don't want
2. Charge ridiculous money for the music and what's more they price fix it so the Yanks get charged half as much. Internet global economy my arse.
3. Encumber the music in extremely annoying DRM.
4. Don't even have half the music that allofmp3.com has
So perhaps if Napster, iTunes, etc. actually got their act together and *competed* by addressing those four points there wouldn't be problem, hmm?
Top 10 e-commerce developments of the decade
Paypal and Bittorrent (or various other p2p things), Messenger, Hotmail
...seem mysteriously absent, but are arguably two of the most fundamental factors in the digital economy these days. Paypal makes paying for stuff and receiving payments a little easier, and bittorrent makes not paying for stuff and giving away stuff for free a little easier.
No mention of instant messaging, which has fundamentally changed the way we communicate?
Nor Hotmail?

Pacific Islands vs. Deep South: Which Matters More?
It's no secret that Tuesday saw some big GOP primary shakeups, if you understand the word "shakeup" to mean — as I do — that everything went more or less predictably.
In other words, Santorum topped the polls in deeply conservative Alabama and Mississippi, whereas Romney won in the notoriously liberal, apparently-eligible-to-vote Pacific islands of American Samoa and Hawaii.
Which leads me to wonder, which elections were more important? Let's see how they stack up…
Pacific Islands Deep South * Popular tourist destinations. * Get out while you still can. * Offer a wide array exotic and delicious foods. * Grits. * President Obama was born in Hawaii. * No he wasn't! * Movie "Pearl Harbor" depicted historical events taking place there. * No "Pearl Harbor." So, hey, there's that. * Voted for a winner. * Voted for this guy.

crystalline silica
Category archives for crystalline silica
At the American Public Health Association's annual meeting in Boston this week, the organization officially approved 17 policy statements, including one calling for the US to improve access to paid sick and family leave and one urging OSHA to require workplace injury and illness prevention programs.
The worlds of Georgia-Pacific, asbestos-litigation, scientific journals, and OSHA all fell together last week under the umbrella of transparency and disclosure.
For the first time in OSHA's rulemaking history, the agency is requesting that those submitting studies, reports and analysis on its proposed silica standard disclose potential conflicts of interest.
The long-time residents of Iron County, Wisconsin who make up the Iron County Joint Impacts Mining Committee say the open-pit iron mine planned for the Penokee Hills of northern Wisconsin – a range that extends into Michigan where it's known as the Gogebic Range – will bring much needed good jobs and economic development. Such…
The Labor Department took the first major step this month to protect the health of many U.S. workers who are exposed to respirable crystalline silica. Workers in the mining industry, however, are not addressed by the Department's action.
Construction crews working in a cloud of dust takes place thousands of times every day in the U.S. Here's just one example from my community.
The second annual report on US worker health and safety offers a review of activities and new policies at the federal scene, and a recap on the best reporting about it by the nation's journalists.
OSHA's recently released proposed rule on silica gives us a good opportunity to see if President Obama's new regulatory czar will keep his promise for transparency in the rulemaking process.
A long-awaited proposal to protect 2 million workers from occupational silica exposure was announced today by OSHA.
The newly created Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on Oversight, Federal Rights and Agency Action held today its first hearing. Witnesses described the toll on public health and safety when the regulatory process is paralyzed by powerful interests and required analyses with no proven benefits.

Diatomaceous earth
Diatomaceous earth is a soil commonly used in bonsai trees. It is easily crumbled with a soft texture. It was discovered by goods waggoner Peter Kasten In 1836. It was discovered while he was sinking a well and accidentally came upon this substance.
It also has a large variety of uses beyond soil such as filtration, used for its abrasive properties, pest control and hydroponics.
Caution is needed to handle this soil as it can cause damage to the lungs when inhaled.

With the exception of "Pinks" on Speed Channel, automotive prime-time reality shows have been quite disappointing. The plot for "American Hot Rod" is a boring redundancy: whiny, bitchy, overworked crew is behind schedule but everyone is happy when the cover comes off in a grand ceremony. The sophomoric car-napping plots on "Overhauling" get in the way of any meaningful mechanical work that car enthusiasts would like to see, and no experienced car builder believes that those projects are completely finished in a week.
Maybe wrestling superstar Bill Goldberg can bring intelligence, maturity and hopefully entertainment to car-based reality shows with his series called "Bullrun," which debuts on Spike TV on March 13. The show is based on the international automotive rally of the same name. Twelve teams of two drivers each drive their own cars and compete for $200,000 in prize money.
Follow the jump to learn more about the show's structure, what vehicles are competing, and when it will be on the air.
"It's a very eclectic group of people and cars," Goldberg told us as he cruised the Detroit Auto Show. "You find out how willing the drivers are to push their own cars to the limit."
Some of the vehicles competing include a Lamborghini, Lotus Elise, '57 Chevy, Ford F-150, '68 Charger and a new Scion. The teams are not allowed cell phones, GPS or any other type of outside assistance, and they're supposed to handle all repairs themselves. A team is eliminated at the end of each show.
"There's lots of tension, lots of cool cars, a lot of great driving, lots of cool stunts and some great countryside," added Goldberg, who recently became a father and chronicles his thoughts on cars and other matters through his Web site.
Filming took three weeks and covered 4,800 miles on a north-south route in the Western USA. The 1-hour show runs in the 10 pm timeslot on Tuesday nights.

Congressman wants to ban civilians from owning body armor
Congressman Mike Honda (D-CA) wants to ban civilians from owning certain types of body armor. He introduced a bill, H.R. 5344, the Responsible Body Armor Possession Act of 2014, in Congress earlier this month. Violating the ban would potentially get you up to ten years in prison. From NBC:
"We should be asking ourselves, why is this armor available to just anyone, if it was designed to be used only by our soldiers to take to war?" Honda said.
He said he introduced the bill, H.R. 5344, the Responsible Body Armor Possession Act of 2014, in Congress last week.
The proposed law would prohibit the sale, transfer or possession of military-level body armor by civilians.
Yeah, because if the events of Ferguson showed us anything, it's that only law enforcement should be nearly impervious to bullets.

Astaxanthin is one of the best supplements to take. Known as the king of carotenoids, it is a powerful antioxidant that can be readily enter the blood brain barrier to protect the brain and prevent neurodegenerative diseases, greatly increase athletic performance and stamina and shorten recovery time, increase eye vision and protect the eye from UV light, protect skin from sunburn (unusual benefits), anti inflammatory, halt cancer growth, improve immune system, never becomes pro-oxidant (even vitamin C can become oxidant), prevent cardiovascular diseases, alleviates carpal tunnel syndrome, joints pain, protects against UV light and others! Personally, the most felt effect is the improvement in athletic performance. I felt that I can tolerate the pain when running at fast constant speed for much longer distance. After exercising, the body is less likely to ache as well. Another important benefit is the prevention of sunburn. I have fair skin and tend to get sunburn easily. After taking Astaxanthin, I can last long hours under the sun without getting burn. Most people will need to take 2-3 softgels (8-12 mg daily) for maximum benefits. Astanxanthin used to be a lot cheaper before appearing on TV (Dr Oz). Prices have increased quite a lot but this isn't too expensive. The softgel is made of gelatin (not for vegetarians), small and easy to swallow. Note that Astaxanthin inhibits nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is needed in body but can be harmful if produced in excess. It works as a vasodilator and it is important in men's penile erections as well. I have tried dosing at 20mg daily and it does affect penile erection. I do not eliminate that the fact that this can be placebo which seems highly unlikely. Generally, it's best to just stick to lower dosages. It used to be the cheapest per mg but not longer. Check out my page for more reviews!

Works pretty well as antioxidant and worth buying for testing the benefits but as a whole it is overprices supplement. I give 4 stars.
Differant brands make a differance.

No Sophmore Slump For Vilma
By Justin Paley
Jets Insider.com Staff Writer
December 1st, 2005
The Jets have allowed 310.5 yards per game, 11th in the league and 136.9 rushing yards per game, third to last in the NFL.
Its been disappointing in the fact that the way were getting beat in the running game has nothing to do with physical; its a lot of mental, Jets LB Jonathan Vilma said.
Vilma, last years NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, has kept up his level of play, leading the Jets and the NFL with 131 tackles and has the numbers to be a Pro Bowl player this season.
The Jets have lost six games in a row but Vilma said the team is staying together. We had that from the get-go, Vilma said. In the beginning of the season, I knew we had tough guys or character guys so that was never an issue. It was just for whatever reason we were not executing or we had a lot of guys injured.
Because of the offenses inability to move the ball, the defense has been on the field a lot but Vilma would not take a shot at the offense. The offensive play has been improving the last couple weeks, aside from the Denver game, but theyve been doing a good job and its just unfortunate that we couldnt pull it off in the end, Vilma said.
The Jets only have 16 sacks this season and Vilma was asked why. Its frustrating but its a combination of a couple things, Vilma said. Its not the d-line, not anybody in particular its a combination of things and we just have to improve on certain issues in certain areas to get everything up.
Vilma said one of the reasons is because teams have been able to build up big leads and dont need to pass the ball.
Vilma said the Jets arent going to New England just to put up a good fight. Were definitely going there to win the game, Vilma said. Putting up a good fight and keeping it close are not our objective; were out there to win the game. Were not even trying to let them know anything, were trying to win.
The Jets-Patriots rivalry has not been fun for Vilma. Everyone gets up for the game, the crowd, both times we played them last year, the crowd was into it, Vilma said. Its a very exciting game; its too bad that we lost. If we wouldve won one of those games, it wouldve made the rivalry more intense.
DT Sione Pouha (calf) was upgraded to probable from questionable and practiced today. RB Curtis Martin (knee) and S Rashad Washington (hip/quad) did not practice for a second straight day and both are probable.
-RB Derrick Blaylock (ankle): Out

When it comes to the Thanksgiving feast, we can all agree that it's the pies that really make or break the celebration. And these two pies from Crepes of Wrath will definitely make this Turkey Day a huge success.
First up, the pumpkin pie to end all pumpkin pies: an old fashioned pumpkin slab pie, made with bourbon and bitters. The orange bitters in this recipe add some extra fragrance and zest, which combine seamlessly with the traditional pumpkin flavor.
And to top it off, those small pie crust cutouts are the perfect little touch of holiday cheer.
Get the recipe here.
As for the perfect apple pie? This will steal the whole show. It doesn't get any more festive than this hand-cut leaf crust. This recipe keeps with a traditional filling of cinnamon, brown sugar, apples, and lemon, and lets that gorgeous leafy layered crust do the talking.

S'mores Pop-Tart Slab Pie
We've probably watched our favorite holiday movies a dozen times, but they never cease to inspireespecially when it comes to decking the halls! And it's not hard to see why. Set designers likely spent hours racking their brains to come up with the perfect holiday scene. And with their hard work already completed. you can just steal them for your own holiday decor.
So whether it's Sissy Spacek's table centerpiece in Four Christmases or the handmade snowflake garland in Elf, here's how to bring the holiday glamour of Hollywood to life.
The Elf Snowflakes
Buddy may have gone a little overboard with the paper snowflakes when redecorating Gimbels' "North Pole" set, but we love the idea of a few cutout strands dangling from the ceiling. They're fun to make and a slew of them hanging from the rafters creates a spectacular winter wonderland effect.
Home Alone's Atypical Tree
When the McCallister family leaves their son Kevin home alone to celebrate the holiday in Paris, they see Christmas decorating in a whole new lightand palette. With snowy white branches and strictly turquoise ornaments, this tree is anything but expected. It's certainly a contrast to the American Christmas eve Kevin is enjoying at home, and actually a refreshing change from the traditional pine. It's almost so tacky it's fabulous.
It's a Wonderful Life's Timeless Accents
In one of the most beloved Christmas movies of all time, George Bailey's panicked emotions in this memorable scene are only heightened when he comes home to his adoring family on Christmas Eve. Their living room decorations exude the warmth, love, and Christmas spirit that George needs. We love the festive garlands and the bustling tree. And the "Merry Christmas" sign is simply classic.
Love Actually's Card Garland
Colin Firth's character in Love Actually decides to ditch Christmas celebrations with his family to fly to Portugal and propose to Aurelia. While the look on their faces is shock, we look straight past them to their clever card garland. What a simple and festive way to display the many holiday cards arriving at the house!
The Santa Clause's Forest
Tim Allen flying through the neighborhood on a sleigh is a memorable moment in Santa Clause. Though the thing that stuck in our minds the most? The forest of light-covered pine trees. If we had time to decorate all the trees in our yard, we would.
Trading Places Entryway
Miniature trees flanking the door of Louis Winthorpe III's Philadelphia townhouse remind us that outdoor décor doesn't need to be limited to a wreath or lights. Like the most festive of topiaries, they truly set the holiday tone for guests and the whole neighborhood.
Four Christmases' Curated Displays
Sissy Spacek's house in Four Christmases fits her offbeat, free-spirited character. It also doesn't scream Christmas. The tasteful table vignette and classic pine wreath in the window prove that subtle curated displays can make an impact.
Bridget Jones Diary Stairwell
Bridget Jones is about to tell Mark Darcy that she likes him "just the way he is." We were about to say the same thingabout the Christmas tree. Tucked away in the stairway alcove, the tree is in the perfect place. The guests can appreciate every inch of the display as they walk up the stairs, instead of straining their neck to check out the angel.
A Christmas Story's Raw Charm
The cult classic, A Christmas Story, is set in a middle class 1940s home and strikes a chord with many, even beyond the baby boomers. Though the Christmas decor is nothing spectacular, the haphazardly decorated tree and fuddy-duddy furnishings evoke a back-to-basics appeal. And it makes us remember a time when nothing was more exciting than having your wish list come trueRed Ryder rifle or not.

It's practically your patriotic duty to overeat on Thanksgiving: You basically get off work for the sole purpose of digging into copious amounts of holiday food. But is it that-that bad to gorge yourself just one day a year?
First off, it's not "bad"at least according to registered dietitian Keri Gans, MS, author of The Small Change Diet. "You should never beat yourself up over food," Gans says. "If you want to indulge at a meal, do it mindfully by giving yourself permission to eat whatever you want. The key is to do it only on the actual holidays, not throughout the entire holiday season."
While this sounds like a delicious plan, it only fends off food guilt not necessarily extra pounds. To gain one pound of body fat in one day, you need to eat about 3,500 extra calories in a 24-hour span. While the average Thanksgiving feast packs about 3,000 calories, the average woman needs at least 2,000 daily calories to function, so you'd really have to try to eat 3,500 extra calories to gain even one pound of fat in a single day, Gans says.
That said, salty foods can make your body retain water, so it's totally possible to wake up to a few extra pounds the day after a holiday full of heavy eating, Gans says. Typically, that's just temporary bloating that goes down a day or two laterjust as long as you go back to normal eating.
So that third fourth helping should be relatively harmless, weight-wise. Still, everyone knows it's uncomfortable to seriously overeat. From a medical perspective, all that high-fat, sugary holiday food can still elevate your blood sugar and blood pressure, and cause indigestion and acid reflux. The good news? You will probably feel 100 percent better the next day, Gans says.
"One day of overeating is only negative if you allow it to be," Gans says. "If you decide that all your best efforts for eating healthy are now a waste of time, and you go back to making poor food choices [after the holiday is over], that in itself is damaging." In other words? Knock yourself out this Thanksgiving. Just go easy on yourself (and the leftovers).
[From Cosmopolitan.com]
Make it easy on yourself this year. Amazon's Food Editor Seira Wilson (who literally readsand testscookbooks for a living) is sharing the exact recipes shes whipping up for her family this holiday season. From an Ina Garten turkey to a Martha Stewart green bean casserole, she's got you covered. So maybe, just maybe, youll actually get to relax a bit this year.
Spicy Spiced Nuts
from Mastering My Mistakes in the Kitchen by Dana Cowin
These spicy nuts are a great way to get taste buds flowing without losing your appetite. Perfect for pre-dinner drinks and conversation.
Radishes with Sweet Butter and Kosher Salt
from Prune by Gabrielle Hamilton
Keep your guests from filling up on appetizers with this refreshing combination of crispy radishes, sweet creamy butter, and a sprinkle of salt.
Accidental Turkey
from Barefoot Contessa Foolproof by Ina Garten
Brining the turkey a couple days ahead makes this a moist and golden bird that is low maintenance on Thanksgiving day.
Green Bean Casserole
from Marthas American Food by Martha Stewart
This tastes like the old-fashioned favorite but a white sauce and crispy shallots stand in for the canned ingredients of the original. It can be made a day or two ahead and then baked while the turkey finishes cooking and resting.
Spicy Parmesan Green Beans and Kale
from Giada's Kitchen: New Italian Favorites by Giada De Laurentis
Update the traditional green bean casserole with the addition of kale and parmesan and since its cooked on the stovetop, you have one less thing to fit in a crowded oven.
Soul Sweet Taters
from Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays by Ree Drummond
The best of both worlds, sweet potato topped with crunchy pecans is the perfect foil for the savory side dishes of Thanksgiving.
Brown Butter Apple Cranberry Galette
from Baked Occasions by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito
Rustic and comforting just to look at, spiced apples and cranberries are a savory/sweet combination thats hard to beat for dessert. And since its a galette, that means all the goodness of pie crust without the fuss of pie pans and crimping edges.
Cranberry Crackle Tart
from Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan
A beautiful dessert that is still light enough to eat after the biggest of Thanksgiving meals. Its best the day of, so make this in the morning and admire it all afternoon.
Ultimate Pumpkin Pie with Rum Whipped Cream
from Barefoot Contessa Foolproof by Ina Garten
It wouldnt be Thanksgiving at my house without pumpkin pie and Ina Gartens flavorful filling and dark rum whipped cream version has become the family favorite.

It looked for a while like Gwyneth Paltrow wasn't going to throw down with Martha Stewart, following the latter's shade-throwing in recent months. (To recap, Martha called Goopy a hopeless pretender to her domestic diva crown and then also shared a "Conscious Coupling" pie recipe in this month's Martha Stewart Living magazine.) But it turns out she was just biding her time and waiting until she'd concocted the perfect retort. Which is also the perfect tort, it turns outwell, sort of, because it's a chocolate cake.
Yes, Gwyneth just shared a recipe for a "Jailbird Cake" on her site. While it doesn't explicitly reference Martha's 2004 prison sentence for insider trading in the preparation steps, it's a dessert that literally features chocolate wafers in a jail cell bars-style pattern. And a Goop source tells People that, wait for it, "The folks at goop know how to have some fun, too... if Martha served up the appetizer, the Jailbird Cake is just desserts." Enough said, done, and garnished with organic chocolate shavings.
This places the ball firmly back in Martha's court. We can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

The holidays are a time to welcome friends and family into your home, but throwing a dinner party often comes with obstacles. Here are some common missteps to avoid that will make hosting a shindig go a lot smoother.
1. Leaving your driveway a slippery mess.
If your party falls on an icy or snowy night, salt outdoor walkways so guests can come and go without fearing a fall. Also, make sure these pathways are well lit, says Danielle Rothweiler, president of Rothweiler Event Design in New Jersey.
2. Cranking up the heat.
The weather outside may be frightful, but don't overcompensate by dialing up your thermostat. Turn it down a notch just before guests arrive, or you'll create a sauna. "The more people you bring into your home, the hotter it's going to get inside," says Rothweiler. During the party, she recommends keeping the windows cracked to allow fresh air to move throughout the house, and turning the heat down. If you have a fireplace, get it going for warmth and holiday spirit.
3. Not having a set shoe plan.
"Shoes on or off?" That's usually the first question people ask when entering someone's house. Be clear about it. If shoes can stay on, offer a mat for guests to wipe their feet, says Rothweiler. In a shoes-off situation, provide a rack or a large mat to contain everyone's kicks. If a barefoot guest gets cold, it's a nice touch to give 'em fuzzy socks.
4. Playing the same tunes on loop.
Once you hit high peak holiday season, you've been hearing those sleigh bells jingling for weeks. There are plenty of other party playlists to be found on sites like Spotify, 8tracks, and Pandora — including fun, modern takes on the holiday classics. If you like picking your song selections ahead of time, aim for 68 tunes for a four-hour party.
5. Skipping hot drinks.
Baby, it's so cold outside you can see your breath: So consider serving cider hot toddies or mulled wine (and tea and hot chocolate for the teetotalers). "A spiked cider is always fun for the holidays and a great greeting when people come in from the cold," says Rothweiler. The rule of thumb is one-and-a-half drinks per person, per hour.
6. Letting spills sit.
To avoid permanent damage from red wine, gravy, or other common holiday stains, you need to at least sop up the mess and blot with a clean, damp cloth before you get back to the party. Consult our party stain-removal guide for tips on what clean-up tactics you should take right away, and what can wait until the next day.
7. Running out of hors d'oeuvres.
For a typical party, plan for eight to 10 hors d'oeuvres per person. If using disposable dishes, allot for two paper plates per guest.
8. Leaving food out for too long.
Don't leave perishable food outside of the fridge for over two hours, says Sharon Franke, Director of the Good Housekeeping Research Institute Kitchen Appliances and Technology Lab. Use smaller bowls and don't top them off — bring out new dishes to replenish when necessary instead of serving everything you've made at once.
9. Not entertaining the kids.
Too often, they get lost in the shuffle, forgotten among adults who haven't seen each other for ages. Set up a corner with toys, movies, or arts and crafts, suggests Helah Kehati, founder and president of the event planning company JPO Concepts. Just make sure to cover tables and floors to avoid "permanent artwork," she adds.
10. Not having a pet plan.
You don't want your furry friends to freak out — or become a nuisance. "Some pets get easily overwhelmed with too many people in their home and behave out of character," says Kehati. Also, some guests may have allergies. Instead of locking your dog or cat in a room (and potentially frightening them), consider hiring a pet sitter for the night. And, make sure you vacuum well.
11. Not deciding what to do with trash.
Consider how much mess your party might produce, and make disposal easier on yourself from the get-go. Allow at least one large garbage bag for every 10 people, suggests Kehati. Line trash bins with more than one bag so you can simultaneously remove and replace.

How to Bust Every Single Holiday Stain
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, do you know what you're making? Have you tried out your fancy new recipes? What better way to give them (and, well... yourself) a test run than at a Friendsgiving with all your girlfriends!
What exactly is a Friendsgiving you ask? Think of it like a second Turkey Day celebration where you get to choose the menuand the invitees.
"This time of year is all about coming together and enjoying each others company," says Melissa Johnson of Best Friends for Frosting, and that's what it's really all about. Before the holiday madness kicks in, she hosted the most divine Friendsgiving we've ever seen.
From the crisp gold-and-white color scheme, to the personalized D.I.Y. place cards, the table looks like it's set for royalty.
And our favorite bit? These adorable rosemary headpieces. C'mon, how festive and in-the-spirit are those?
Of course, the feast finished up with pumpkin pie. Because around this time of year that's just common courtesy.

1. You baste your turkey. It might be tradition, but basting your bird doesn't actually result in a moister turkey because pouring the juices over top won't penetrate the skin. For a bird that is moist and flavorful, rub pats of butter (or herb butter if you want to get extra fancy) under and on top of the turkey skin before roasting.
2. You wash your potatoes individually in the sink. If you're cooking for a lot of people, washing potatoes can be a major time suck. But thanks to this sneaky tip, you can focus on other things while your dishwasher does all the work. Yes, your dishwasher. Just run the potatoes through rinse cycle (don't use soap!) and you'll have some squeaky clean spuds.
3. You make stuffing in one big pan. If you haven't tried making stuffing muffins yet, 2014 is the year. Not only do they ensure that there's enough stuffing to go around, help with portion control, and guarantee that everyone will get some of the extra crispy-crunchy parts, they are also totally adorable.
4. You pull your bird out of the oven based on a timer. Even if you followed the recipe precisely, or calculated cook-time based on the weight of your turkey, you should still always, always, always check for doneness with a thermometer. A nicely browned turkey can still be frozen solid on the inside, and doing a quick temperature check is preferable to worrying about getting guests sick. The turkey is safe to eat when the middle of the bird (and the stuffing inside!) has reached 165 degrees F. If your turkey comes with a pop-up thermometer, don't use it! They don't typically pop until the bird is overdone, meaning you could easily end up with dry meat — so you're much better off sticking with the old-fashioned kind.
5. You prep your veggies on Thanksgiving day. Prep work like dicing sometimes takes longer than the recipe implies. Plus, it's nearly impossible to efficiently chop veggies while there are about a million other things going on in the kitchen. Save time and keep stress levels to a minimum by chopping onions, carrots, peppers, celery, and garlic the night before. Use tupperware containers for storage and keep them in the fridge to use as needed on Thanksgiving day.
6. You buy a variety of wines and take individual drink requests. Stop trying to please everyone. You'll spend a ton of money, will end up prepping/refreshing drinks much of the night, and might be left with a bunch of half-finished wine bottles. Instead, make one big-batch holiday punch and you'll get loads of complements on your sophisticated cocktail choice while saving time and cash.
7. You use raw garlic. Instead of using raw garlic as many Thanksgiving recipes call for, add an extra layer of flavor to your stuffing, mashed potatoes, veggies, and more by swapped for roasted garlic. Just roast off a few heads the night before or the morning of — use the toaster oven so you don't have to worry about fitting anything else into the oven schedule — and you'll have an even more flavorful dinner as a result. Plus, spreading already prepped roasted garlic over crostini is the perfect last-minute appetizer, in case your turkey needs to cook longer than expected.
8. You serve canned cranberry sauce. Some people have a nostalgic love for the jelly-like canned stuff and others serve it as a family tradition, so if you truly enjoy the the grocery store version, ignore this advice. But, if you serve canned cranberry sauce out of convenience, you should know that the real-deal (which, in our opinion, is infinitely better) is actually super easy to make. Try any one of these simple recipes, and you'll have a new tradition on your hands.
9. You store your pie fruit out on the counter or in the fridge. Need fruit to ripen faster before making your signature pies? Simply stick it in a paper bag a couple of days in advance. To speed up the process even further, add a banana to the bag along with your unripe produce.
10. You make whipped cream the old fashioned way. No need to dirty another mixing bowl or waste precious minutes making whipped cream with a whisk. Simply pour your desired amount of heavy cream into a jar, make sure the lid is on tight, and shake off some of that Thanksgiving stress until you've got the perfect pie topper.
11. You serve regular roasted potatoes as an alternative to mashed. Accordion or hasselback potatoes may as well have been invented specifically for Thanksgiving. You can pour gravy over top and each potato soaks up all that concetrated turkey day flavor. And you can make them with sweet potatoes too!

Make-Ahead and Make-Now Thanksgiving Recipes for Procrastinators
Artist Kat O'Sullivan has a penchant for colorful patchwork. In fact, as the creator and purveyor of whimsical clothing and sewing patterns, she's made the cheery style her life's work. So when she bought this 1840's farmhouse in upstate New York, she knew her technicolor brain would take over in the renovation process. "It seems like anything within my grasp ends up painted a million colors," she told Colossal.
And boy, oh boy, this project was no exception. With her partner, Mason Brown, little by little Kat has transformed the run-down house into something out of a fantasyland. Rainbows of stripes, checks, and shapes gave way to painted-on eyes and smiles, and eventually they even began adding quirky windows into the mix. Fittingly, Kat calls her home "Calico," and has deemed it a process that she'll never quite finish. Follow her on Facebook to watch what out-of-the-box move she makes next.
Take a look around:

This Cottage Is Hiding a Surprise in the Backyard
This Tiny House Wins "Most Charming" in Our Book
This House Is Not for the Faint of Heart
Homelessness is a serious issue all around the world, but one group in Madison, Wisconsin, chose to find a new solutionone that helps the community and empowers those in need to help themselves. This weekend saw the debut of Tiny House Village, a special neighborhood on East Johnson Street that's made up entirely of tiny houses for the citys homeless. The project was devised three years ago by Occupy Madison, and brought to life by a coalition of members and homeless individuals.
Occupy Madison member Luca Clemente told Al Jazeera that the inspiration for the project came from the realization within their group that there was a fundamental gap not only between the 99% and the 1%, but also between the homeless and those from median-income backgrounds.
"We had heard about these tiny houses in the media, but mostly in the context of middle class Americans downsizing their lifestyle," Clemente told Al Jazeera. "We saw that it would be possible to do the same thing for the homeless."
Since the project was financially autonomous and materially self-sufficient, organizers hope that their achievement will inspire similar endeavors across the U.S.
For now, four people will be moving into the three homes that are currently complete. The projects next goals are to build six more homes, another bathroom, a community room, a garden, a tree orchard, and a coop full of chickens.
But the project has some more philosophical future aspirations as well. It was important to organizers that, rather than just being assigned places to live, homeless individuals were able to take an active part in constructing their new abodes.
"Rather than taking people form the streets and putting them in a building, we thought we could work together to create our own structures," Clemente told WKOW.com. "We don't give houses to homeless people. We enable people to build their own houses to create their own futures."

During apple season, you can only eat so many apples straight up. But that's no reason to let a single one go to waste. Use up extra apples with these creative ideas:
1. Make a dip dish. Dip looks extra fancy when you serve it in a dish, but how about in a bruit bowl? Slice the top off the apple and use melon baller, metal measuring spoon, or small knife to remove the core and create a shallow bowl:
Add flavored yogurt and a spoonful of peanut butter, caramel, honey, or maple syrup, then stir and eat with apples slices.
2. Keep baked goods moist. Drop a few apple wedges into a sealed container with extra cake, brownies, or soft cookies to keep desserts from going stale.
Why peel open a banana then slice it when you can do it all in one shot? How-to maven and YouTube star Dave Hax spills the secret.
All you need is a few seconds and a sewing needle or pin. Take the needle to the top of one of the bananas edges, and sink it in without letting it go through the other side of the fruit. Gently move the pin back and forth for a few seconds, and repeat the process about 10 times, or down the length of the banana.
When complete, the banana should have tiny holes from the needle on one just side. If youre looking to amuse guests, turn the fruit over so only the smooth surface is showing. Now, simply peel the banana and the slices are ready. Show off this trick at your next holiday party to impress kids and adults alike.
Another banana trickpeel it from the bottom instead. (Dave peels it from the top). Just a slight pinch will open it. Bonus: This method also results in dealing with zero of those pesky banana strings!

We all love to poke fun at dear Gwynnie, but if we're all honest, we'd admit that we're just a wee bit jealous of her rock-star marriage (and even conscious uncoupling…how modern), her awesome style (and budget to afford it all), and how well that gal knows her way around a kitchen. So when her Goop gift guide landed in our inbox, we were ready to hate on it hard, but then we found ourselves saying, "We want that." "And that." "We NEED that." And kind of wishing we could be BFFs, sharing a fresh-made juice (from her gold juicer...seriously) and laughing at all of the haters while we made our Christmas lists.
So we pulled out the greatest gifts that we mere mortals can probably afford.
1. Okay, you could use a spiral-bound notebook, but these are so dreamy.
Passport Pocket Notebook Set, $10, Nordstrom.
2. This teapot looks just as great if you're brewing Lipton or some really fancy-pants stuff.
Carat Teapot, $32, Amazon.
3. So this bracelet was from the kids category. But we would totally wear it.
Crystal Bead Friendship Bracelet, $19.50, J.Crew.
4. Perfect for post-holiday thank yous.
Ellis Avenue Monogram Notecards, $26, Sugar Paper.
5. A customizable bracelet under $60? Not too shabby, G.
Personalized Skinny Railroad Spike Bracelet, $55, Bergdorf Goodman.
6. Of course this cookbook is authored by one of her besties, but it does look really good.
Huckelberry Cookbook, $35, Amazon.
But aaargh. Must…hate…just…a…bit. There are a few pieces that are slightly over the top. Okay, a few that are TOTALLY nuts. But that wouldn't stop us from accepting them if they were left our doorsteps by an anonymous suitor (cough-Ryan Gosling-cough).
This vase is just amazing. Crazy pretty. But OMFG. $12,000!? *Palms face*
Diamond Thickie, $12,000, Esque.
We want one of these pendants. We need one of these. But we also need to pay rent. #Priorities
3-D Silhouette Charm, $1,100, Neiman Marcus.
Love everything about this. Except for the almost 2k price tag. For that, we'll just hire a driver. Or buy a crappy car.
Women's Bixby Bicycle, $1,950, Shinola.
The Goop caption says it best: "Absurd, but awesome." Maybe more on the absurd side though. Let's be real.
Easy Health Angel Juicer Gold, $4,739, Super Angel Juicers.

The tiny house trend is still going strong, but even though these homes help families minimize living costs and are often dolled up in bright colors, most of us remain skeptical about how long we could actually stay in one (even if it tries to entice us with a hot tub).
But this home, made by the new Orgeon-based company Tiny Heirloom, might be the space that changes your mind for good. It's a home that's small enough to hitch to your truck and take wherever you please, but is also thoughtfully designed. Tiny Heirloom found room for a slim desk, a washer-dryer, a kitchen with suprisingly ample counter space, and even striking architectural touches like exposed beams.
It's clear that with elements like granite countertops, hardwood floors, and stainless steel appliances, the company aims to create a luxury product. But with just a $65,000 price tag, it might just be an affordable way to get everything you ever wanted in a home (minus the square footage, of course).

Wilderness Coalition offers a vision for development of Orange County intersection of State Routes 3 and 20.
A new vision is emerging for future development of land north of State Route 3 and the Wilderness battlefield in Orange County in the wake of Walmart's withdrawal of its Supercenter plan there.
Orange residents received their first look at what might happen there during an open house Monday night.
The concept plan developed and presented by Hill Studio, a consulting team hired by the Wilderness Coalition earlier this year, suggests that the 3,300 acres of privately owned real estate become a regional park interspersed with villages or hamlets.
Some 1,000 housing units would be built within the first 20 years, as would small specialized retail and recreational opportunities using the parkland and the Rapidan River.
Titled the Wilderness Gateway Visioning Study, its purpose is to suggest arrangements that balance development and conservation with historic preservation and tourism.
The study was presented as a draft, and the public is asked to comment on it. The full report may be found online at wildernessgateway .org
The Wilderness Coalition is composed of the Civil War Trust, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the National Park Service, the National Parks Conservation Association, the Piedmont Environmental Council and the Friends of the Wilderness Battlefield. The groups have reportedly paid $100,000 for the six-month study.
The coalition was originally established to fund a study of the area around the Wilderness intersection of State Routes 3 and 20 when Walmart wanted to build a Supercenter nearby. It offered the study to Orange County officials on the condition that they not approve any development in the area until the study was complete.
A majority of the supervisors decided the preservationists were trying to derail the Walmart project, and the study was turned down.
Members of the coalition eventually sued the county after it approved the Walmart, but the lawsuit ended when Walmart withdrew its plans and selected a site farther west on State Route 3, four miles from the battlefield.
About 50 people attended the open house at the new Locust Grove school on Flat Run Road and heard presentations from consultants on cultural resources, transportation, economic development, conservation and recreation in a mixed-use structure.

On Twitter, Mick Foley made a joke to fans who are thinking about going to one of his comedy shows. The former WWE star stated that they were allowed to bring CM Punk signs to his events, which is basically mocking the company for confiscating signs from fans in support of Punk.
Batista is scheduled to make his WWE return tonight at Monday Night Raw, and it has now been confirmed that he is indeed backstage at the event. Earlier today, he joked about how he should have returned at Summerslam instead of the Royal Rumble because of the cold weather in Ohio.
With his recent DUI arrest and a fractured neck suffered during practice, it appears that Tito Ortiz could be done with Bellator. If that is the case, then it looks like the former UFC champion could be done with TNA as well, as Dixie Carter and her promotion would no longer be contractually obligated to utilize him.
Tito Ortiz, who tried to restart his MMA career with Bellator and has made appearances for TNA on Impact Wrestling, was arrested this morning in Los Angeles after crashing his vehicle on the freeway. Police are investigating a possible DUI offense.
With him being unable to do MMA fights because of injuries, the belief is that TNA is not interested in using Tito Ortiz for the time being.
