Short or long? This summer, we need not decide - the Mullet Skirt combines two cuts in one and it is a genuine all-rounder when it comes to styling.

I must confess that I find the new trend of getting used to but the more amazing outfits I see on the blogs of the world, the more I like the eccentric section! Especially for a small person like me, it is a nice alternative to the maxi dress and, depending on your mood with elegant blouse and stilettos or wedges with casual styling and Top.

There are, of course, the average combined as a clothes-variant, preferably with a pleated bottom and striking waist belt. Even with the rich and famous of this world, the trend is already in great demand, and Hollywood celebrities wear the Mullet Skirt as evening gown version even on the red carpet.

Google launches social search, thought to happiness of the off button

All this will change once again. Emphatically. Definitively. Thus one reads it almost everywhere now. I personally can do it not just to feign surprise or particular interest: the Google algorithm, first the English-language Web revised and more intertwined with their own social network Google Plus. Roll out the new service is now available. And not just a few mention the frontal attack on Facebook .

I do not know. Clearly you need to write something to be in today's online media circus ever heard of. But if that was a frontal attack, the weapons were here from flower leis and peace symbols. Google search has calmly presented and above all, step by step. For weeks I get in my search recommendations as articles that were geplusst. And a social search based on recommendations from friends, necessarily always with us Google-like search examples. And that happened for months , oh, what I say, years . What is new is that the social search seems reasonable finally implemented. And that's a step in the right direction - but no more.

You will learn to love the off button

There is now no danger that we rotate only in our own circle of haze and thereby discover anything new? Clear answer: No, that's no danger. First, we do it already long ago in our networks. On the other hand can be turned off, the social search with a simple push of a button. And I promise you, this button you will still use frequently.

Otherwise? If you can live with it. The big question is whether we are on long-term social search even have goat. In each of our networks and so now even in the most important search engine us our more-or-less friends roar every minute with their stuff. A cut-off switch was needed, and thankfully Google has introduced the same time. And the others? Facebook was careful not been before, looking to address the issue seriously - and still goes wonderfully with it. It roars all so enough of. And Twitter was once asked his search to the fore and she transferred for disciplinary reasons shortly afterwards in the rearmost bench. Social Search? Is a nice extra on and turn-off, but nothing that will change anything big.

Ubuntu One for Windows

Ubuntu users know and appreciate it for quite some time now and Windows computers will benefit from Ubuntu One . To make it short, there is a cloud software like Dropbox to share files across multiple computers and smartphones (more on that tomorrow in a separate article) to synchronize.

Leg of a Ubuntu Linux installation is already provided with built-in, so ye need only log in with your account and you immediately get 5 gigabytes of online storage free of charge, which you can top up fee if necessary.

To use this Cloud and Windows XP, Vista and 7, you must be the only client you install and set up an account, of course, also free. Here you can use any number of computers or mobile phones with the same account and have your files anytime and anywhere up to date.

The competitor Dropbox you have 250MB of memory in comparison, you can expand the paid advertising or other users, here it goes, as I said the same and you can go with 5GB Ubuntu One also integrated in Windows Explorer by simply creates a new library.

Since I manage several computers with different OS, formerly the dropbox my number 1 because I could not use this software on Windows and Linux in parallel, but that is changing in recent years more and more.

SMOKEY EYES: MAKEUP FOR BEGINNERS

Smokey eyes are hot right now as never before! Wild and elegant, sometimes dramatic, sometimes subtle they can be. The best part: For Smokey Eyes does not have the beauty queen to stand for hours in front of the mirror. Also they do not need a team of make-up artists. The style works in just a few steps, quickly and easily.

First, the base in the form of foundation is applied. This is just the eyelids. Alternatively, dusted the eyelid. Especially with dark eye shadow a fat-free, adhesive surface is particularly important. Distribute the beam effect light shimmer eye shadow below the superciliary arch and in the eyes of the interior angles.

Apply with a light caramel tone as the eye shadow from inside to outside of the movable lid and beyond makeup. Then the darker tone like chocolate on the movable lid applied. Go with dark brown eye shadow or eyeliner dampened a fine line and blur transitions, so the contour does not strictly. For very sexy look you can also draw a black line under the lower eyelid.

Then to extend to the outer corner of the eye to the upper eyelid down and blur the transitions. Thus allowing the eyelashes longer, they are shaped with the eyelash curler. Following the lash mascara starting in zigzag movements, there's no tomorrow.

Incidentally, make-up artists have a very special trick with the smokey eyes make-up in stock: you paint with black kohl points to blur the moving lid, the eye shadow with a brush and then run the brush along the lower eyelid. And if it should go very fast: eyeshadow and Co. can save themselves and instead simply rely only on the eyeliner. In order to draw a line and hide them with a fingertip.

Synchronization, online storage, or both: Which cloud type are you?

The virtual disk Dropbox offers cloud computing as a textbook. Twice in a row won the popular services such as the choice for online service of the year at the colleagues of Netzwertig.com. Just yesterday I read of three similar services who want to repeat the success of Dropbox: Insync , SugarSync and Accellion .

I am a very mobile person, have a computer in the office, a laptop at home, two phones and I travel a lot. And yet I do not use Dropbox. Not because I could not abgewinnen the service. I need it not just easy. I use private cloud rather in the form of synchronization services. Often it is only on second glance, that it is about actually constitutes cloud computing. Type a question?

Active and passive cloud

Gmail as I use at home, at work and on the go. For my company I use Exchange mailbox. Both cloud computing, and yet neither of them is interested in how I consume lots of memory there. Since I use WordPress to work (which is also a kind of cloud computing), I use almost no more Office program. If I am forced by others to some games, I mostly use Google Docs . Since Simfy has improved its synchronization service, I add new songs to the desktop version and get them automatically sent to my smartphone. Things that come to my mind, I think on a smartphone or a computer with Evernote fixed. A service that synchronizes my account permanently. Save posts that I like, I both on the road on my desktop in Read-it-Later list . List wonders on my computers and the iPhone reminds me of what I have to do.

In all cases there is cloud computing, but I save them anything knowingly in a virtual drive. A memory for music in the cloud such as Amazon, Google or Apple, I do not need. For this I use Apple's icloud, without interest me, how many gigabytes of data stored for me in my virtual directory. It is good but wonderful to sync your contacts or appointments.

Dropbox, however, offers more control over their own files. I can access my photos, documents, accessing songs without that they would be stored in a corporate giants such as Google. Maybe there are two streams that flow side by side: the active cloud, in which one manages its own directory, and the passive cloud, where you mainly synchronize its data. Both have in the past two years, gained considerable popularity, and I see a trend towards passive cloud. How do you use cloud computing and if there is such a thing: Which cloud type are you?

Samsung latest notebook series: 7 Chronos

Yes I've recently purchased an Eee PC, in fact, I've also toyed with the idea to put me a little subnotebook. Now, I happen to be the Samsung 7 Chronos caught his eye, which sounds really interesting.

Book review: New York City Rooftop Gardens

Some time ago I'm with my research on the architectural picture book New York City Rooftop Gardens from Charles de Vaivre from teNeues encountered. Recently, the picture book is now on my desk and I had the last few days time to devote myself to the beautiful work more closely.

The roofs of New York are in such a quantity with the equivalent of 20% of urban total. Compared with other major U.S. cities, there are in New York, a relatively large number of unused roof space.

Exactly this field is devoted to picture book New York City Rooftop Gardens . The book collects nearly 220 pages on a variety of examples of roof gardens and green uses of the metropolis. The individual gardens are each portrayed with good and expressive photographs and a brief textual synopsis presented (multilingual).

It is a remarkable compilation of examples. The collection shows not only that there are a lot of good architecture and design forms of private roof gardens, but also that in the city a more open space category is located outside the classical field of view of architecture, city planning, on the streets of New York. This kind of open and green space is in most cases little or no attention paid. This is especially evident that the use of the roofs goes far beyond the purely private garden. It creates public space as an extension of a museum, sports turf areas or areas for agricultural production on the roofs of the city.

Wellness in Pregnancy

For prospective mothers, it should be easy, before the birth of the (first?) Babies again a few days to relax and be pampered somewhere it extensively. Unfortunately, the theme of " wellness in pregnancy "on the Internet, however, fought hard and you will be killed by almost all the offerings.

A few years ago tried enterprising hoteliers, the concept of " Baby Moon "to establish, a last luxury holiday in the pregnancy before the child is born. Of these, one hears these days, fortunately nothing more, even before all things, because the idea was fully developed in the market over.

But a short holiday pampering during pregnancy with a few soothing spa treatments makes perfect sense: In a small break from everyday life, the expectant mother to think again about the upcoming event at rest and mentally prepare themselves for a little while.

In support, there is now a website on " Wellnessulaub "which is so totally not commercial and therefore many valuable tips for planning holds.

Apart from very specific recommendations for travel destinations that do not require tedious long journey, there are others too numerous to build into a spa vacation in the pregnancy .

Because when other sports are swimming and yoga during pregnancy still quite possible, and the tip, but simply the best friend to take in the spa vacation will certainly appeal to many pregnant women.

Thus one finds on this site too many ideas in articles that are not written exclusively for pregnant women, and it's fun to poke around a bit.
