road test Hair Dryers..
Best Overall> T3 Featherweight Luxe: weighing less than one pound, this little wonder didn't tire arms, even during marathon sessions. While pricey, its four heat settings, two speeds, & two attachments guarantee flawless results.
To Buy: $250, sephora.com
Suitcase Friendly> Revlon Designer Series Folding Handle Travel Dryer: this compact model fits into any carry-on. (Tuck in the handle & it measures about 5" wide) And it's got power: Testers found it dried hair quickly & left strands feeling silky.
To Buy: $20, kmart.com
Energy Saving> Conair EcoDry Styler: this planet-friendly model uses 25 percent less juice than full-force competitors but works well. And it comes with all the extras, like a cool-shot button and an efficiency-boosting nozzle.
To Buy: $27, conair.com
Pro Pick> TwinTurbo 3200 Ceramic & Ionic: "It's four heat settings tame all hair textures, from baby fine to coarse. And it cuts drying time in half" says Jeanine Syfu, a New York City stylist.
To Buy: $199, birthofbeauty.com
Quietest> Velecta Paramount Paris X:Q Onyx: babies and husbands slept peacefully while testers wielded this machine which claims to be 300% quieter than the average. And with a mighty 2,000 watts(many dryers have no more than 1,875)it dries hair in a flash.
To Buy: $300, beechergroup.com
The Retro-Futurist Exotic - One look at the Morgan Aero SuperSports & you half expect to see a comic-book avenger behind the whell, prowling a dark, dystopian metropolis. And as is often the case with sci-fi heroes, the car's technology is a mish-mash of old and new. In Morgan tradition an ash hardwood frame for the cabin is mounted to the aluminum chassis with alloy body panels-a modern variation on 1960s-style Italian coach buidling.(Ash is strong, flexible, & light-perfect for a sports car)Inside, the wood peeks out between carbon fiber & leather. Flowing pontoons & a cascading grill hide a 367-hp BMW V-8, good for 4.2-second 0-60 run - handy when you need to make a quick getaway.[$197,000; morgan-motor.co.uk]
The Next Generation Gauge - Analog gauges would be too simplistic, but a purley electronic instrument panel wouldn't reflect the mechanical soul of the Lexus LFA, a $375,000 technological tour de force with a 9,000-rpm V-10 engine. So Lexus invented a way to do both. A TFT screen displays a virtual tachometer-more specifically, a tachometer that morphs, rotating when you put the car in sport mode so the redline is at the top, where it's more visible. But the coup de grace comes in a motorized metal ring with an acrylic lens that slides in front of the tach, lending depth to the display. Like the LFA itself the gauge is an innovation on tradition(lexus.com)
The Made-Over SUV - For off-road purists, the Land Rover Defender by Aznom is heresy, but there's no faulting its panache. It's more Rodeo Drive badass than Rubicon bruiser, as Aznom dolls up the patron saint of SUVs with carbon-fiber skid plates, a two-tone paint job, and an orange interior seemingly stolen from a Lamborghini. {price N/A; aznom.it}
***SMILE! :) Uber HOT here this wknd, but coming into FALL-AHHH Sleep well, celebrate often, LOVE MUCH!

the simple list
1/4inch - the length of the average termite. They may seem good for nothing, but according ot Peter Miller in The Smart Swarm, the way the tiny pests construct 10-foot high mounds may provide a model for creating energy-efficient buildings. There's something to chew on.
$25,000 - The First Prize college scholarship up for grabs in Jif's Most Creative Sandwich Contest. Wrest open a jar and help your preteen chef(yes, parental collaboration is encouraged)to one-up last year's winning concoction of crunchy peanut butter, apples, grapes, and chicken in a lettuce wrap. Enter your delicious out-of-the-(lunch)-box creations by October 22 at jif.com.
4 - How many inches deep a tulip bulb should be planted in the fall to help it bloom when warmer weather hits. The ideal time for planting spring-flowering bulbs is October for most parts of the country, so order yours now. Pick from a wide selection of varieties at brentandbeckysbulbs.com and whiteflowerfarm.com.
17 minutes - The average length of a designer's show during New York City's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, which kicks off September 9. This year the tents move from Bryant Park to Lincoln Center, as they comment on their favorite trends.
207 words per minute - The fastest score (at press time) on Typeracer.com, a FREE site where you can see how effective that seventh-grade typing class really was. Put your fingers on the marks (ASDF and JKL;) get set, and compete against others. (Hunt-and-peckers need not apply.)

Eco Sport, Style & Design
The Twisted Sleeping Bag: Circus contortionists may be fine with the claustrophobic confines of the average sleeping bag, but for the rest of us, there's the Montbell Ultralight Super Spiral Down Hugger #1. By pairing elastic thread with ultralight 12-denier nylon cut on the bias-a tailor's trick that utilizes a fabric's natural stretchiness - it lets you, say, sit up cross-legged without unzipping it. And when you finally lie down, those elastic seams elaminate drafty air spaces.
[$329; montbell.com]
The Sexy Hiker: We appreciate the Patagonia P26 hiking boot-named for the number of bones in the human foot-for its eco-chummy leather upper (tanned in a process that uses 35 percent less energy) & 50 percent recycled sole. But we want it because it looks so sleek compared to other hikers, a streamlined, wedge-shaped sports car in a parking lot of blovky Econoline vans. [from $170; patagonia.com]
The Agile Knife: A sharp blade becomes more of a hazard than a help if you don't have the dexterity to use it properly. Enter the Gerber Mini-Remix and its gaping hole. Slide your index finger through & you'll realize that the knife's pivot point is right at the base of the 2.05-inch blade, not your wrist, allowing for control that makes you look like a sushi maker - even if you're just cutting drywall. [$30; gerbergear.com]
The Cutting-Edge Bat: Ted Williams once wrote that he spent the off-seaon using an ax because it improved his swing, which in turn inspired the Baden Axe Pro Bat. Gone is the perfectly cylindrical handle and disk pommel, replaced with the pinched oval handle and flared bottom of an ax. Okayed by the MLB, the new maple bat has caught on with pros who say its ergonomic handle lets them take batting practice longer.
[$110; badensports.com]
Unexpected Design-The Eco-Friendly Shoebox: A collaboration between Puma & California design think tank fuseproject to create a more Earth-sensitive, efficient shoe carrier.
Design Process: At first fuseproject, led by industrial design god Yves Behar, toyed with a fairly simple remix of the regualr shoebox: One prototype was made from 100% recycled pulp, but was discarded because it required more energy to produce than a standard cardboard box. Nearly 2 years, roughly 1000 concept sketches, 40 prototypes & several environmental audits into the project, Behar found what he wanted a design that was not only greener in constitution, but greener in function, too.
End Product: The Puma clever Little Bag is a heat-welded (to eliminate thread)sack made from recycled PET plastic with an origami-like cardboard divider inside. Puma estimates it will save 8500 tons of paper, 20 million megajoules of energy, & 275 tons of plastic, but Behar's pleased that he gave a shoebox utility. "Often with eco-solutions the consumer gets less of something," he says. "This bag becomes functional, whether it's to travel with the shoes or to replace the plastic bag you get at the store." After a few more tweaks, you'll be able to get your kicks with the Clever Little Bag this winter.

if you do one thing this month
Clain Your Cash On MissingMoney.com
A quick search on this free secure website, endorsed by the nonprofit National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators, could turn up forgotten assets from old bank accounts, insurance policies, stock and bond returns, safe-deposit-box contents, and more. To learn if you have loot out there, simply enter your name and state of residency.(Quick tip: Conduct separate searches using your maiden name and in every state that you have lived.) Dinah Mouat of Solon, Ohio, found almost $500 of her own money in an old savings account and $1,500 of her husband's. "It was like discovering buried treasure," she says.
...by the numbers
100,500 - the number of words an average person consumes-meaning, reads or hears-every day
Amazingly, the amount we read has tripled from 1980 to 2008. (Think of all those hours spent on the computer at work. Thanks, Internet!)

How To..
>Catch Bobby Pins: always losing your barrettes and bobby pins in the bathroom? Put a magnet on the counter. Next time you drop a bobby pin, it winds up attracted to the magnet instead of hiding on the floor.
>Microwave Healthier Popcorn: instead of using packaged microwave popcorn, try making your own version. Put two small handfuls of popping corn into a regular brown paper lunch bag. Use the "popcorn" button on your microwave(or set for 2 minutes and stop when the kernels stop popping), and when it's finished popping, you can decide how much butter and salt you actually want on it.
>Clean Carpets Naturally: so you have a dog, a Big dog/any dog and always looking for natural sanitizing solutions rather than harsh chemical cleaners? Try this homemade carpet deodorizer:
10 drops tea tree essential oil
10 drops lemon essential oil
20 drops lavender essential oil
16 oz baking soda
Mix the essential oils into the baking soda thoroughly(lemon essential oil has a yellowish color that may stain if not blended completely). To use, sprinkle on carpet and then vacuum. Store leftovers in a sealed container and use whenever needed!
***Remember to SMILE each day, offer a helping hand to someone in need & buy a friend a TGIF Starbucks or lunch :)
