NEW YORK, June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Ray Bloch Productions was thrilled to produce Town & Country's Inaugural Philanthropy Summit at Hearst Tower on May 28 in New York City.

The Summit brought together the nation's most passionate philanthropists and leaders of charitable organizations, including Michael R. Bloomberg, Chelsea Clinton, Hunter Biden, Trudie Styler, Donna Karan, Lauren Bush Lauren, and Geoffrey Canada for lively discussions on topics including education, world hunger, technology and non-profits, and medical research. "There was always that saying that if you had money, you were supposed to find a way to share it," said Jay Fielden, the publication's editor in chief. "At the summit, we're highlighting these very people."
The summit kicked off May 27th with the premiere of Generosity of Eye, hosted by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The evening featured top philanthropists and visionaries, including William Louis-Dreyfus, Brad Hall and Geoffrey Canada of the Harlem Children's Zone.
The event was especially important to Town & Country at a time when consumers expect a certain level of corporate responsibility and philanthropic giving from luxury brands. As the client commented to Ray Bloch afterwards, the event was "Fantastic! Executed flawlessly!!"

One of the biggest advantages Lightroom offers over some other RAW converters, such as Camera RAW found in Adobe Photoshop environment, is speed and flexibility while working with tens, hundreds and even thousands of photographs at a time. However, it wouldn't be quite as fast if we didn't have a way of applying a set of our own settings to any amount of images we choose with a single click. For this, Photoshop offers us Actions and Batch processing. Lightroom, in turn, gives us Presets.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to manage an ever-increasing amount of presets. You will learn how to save new presets and remove those you don't need anymore, how to export, import and organize them into different folders for simpler browsing. You will also learn how to update existing presets with new settings and how to remove certain settings so that they are not affected by presets.
1) What Are Presets and Why Would One Use Them?
Changing settings in Lightroom is very easy and intuitive. Adobe designed it with a very thought-out, photographer oriented workflow, suitable for most professionals and amateurs alike, and it offers an uncluttered, none-distracting interface. However, with such a huge amount of settings available (and, as a consequence, an immense amount of different looks you can achieve to your photographs), it would be very hard to memorize your favorite setups so that you could use them again and again. That is what we have presets for. Basically, presets are files that contain specific setting information you applied to a photograph. You can save a preset that will set the Temperature of the photograph you have selected to, say, 7300K degrees, or adjust Exposure to +1,15. While these would be very basic presets containing only one adjustment, you can save a preset that will change Temperature, Highlights, Blacks, Vibrance, Tone Curve, Color Luminance and add Vignetting and Grain to your image. This way, you can achieve a particular look with just one mouse click, and save lots of time you could then spend with your family or photographing.
Without presets, it's impossible to experience all Lightroom has to offer, so it's vital you learn how to use and manage them.

The Night Riders
by Matt Furie
I imagine Matt Furie was the type of kid who doodled constantly during school. Furie's strange and detailed colored pencil art feels reflective of the sort of work that might have developed after years of filling spiral notebooks with pictures of hamburgers, castles, and monsters with bulging eyeballs. His fantastic debut children's book just hit the streets yesterday as part of the McSweeney's McMullens series.
The Night Riders tells the wordless story of a nocturnal frog and mouse: two friends that enjoy eating bug salads, snacking on moths, and going on late night bicycle rides. One night they befriend a wingless dragon that introduces them to a bat-like creature that lives underground and plays video games. And together this new band of friends explore a ghost town, take a dip in the ocean, escape from a huge albino crab, surf on the backs of dolphins, and end the night by watching the sunrise.
As is always the case with McSweeney's publications, it's a gorgeous book - thick pages, beautifully printed, and to top things off, a dust jacket that unfolds into an awesome double-sided poster.
My son was totally captivated by the meticulous details of fur, scales, claws, tongues, and menagerie of bizarre creatures residing in the scenery. It's a story that at first glance might seem slightly creepy and odd, but turns out to be stirring and surprisingly touching.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (February 6, 2013) – Coming off the best team performance since 2000 last weekend, Rutgers gymnastics looks to continue to climb in an away meet at No. 24 Kent State Friday at 7 p.m. inside the MAC Center. It will be the first of three straight road meets for the Scarlet Knights.
"We hope to build off of last week's 195 score," head coach Louis Levine said. "We felt like we left some points out there and can do better, particularly on bars. This is a big stretch for us the next three weeks against teams in the Top 25. The meet at Kent State will be a good barometer of where we are."
In winning a home quad meet last time out, the Scarlet Knights (7-5, 1-2 EAGL) posted their third highest score in program history (195.000) and best under Levine. The team set a program record on vault (48.875), while recording the third best marks on the balance beam (48.850) and the floor exercise (49.175). RU is now No. 25 in the nation with an average of 48.755 for the season on floor.
"Last week's meet was exciting," Levine said. "It was a big crowd and we went in and showed what this program is capable of. We put together four strong events and carried the momentum from start to finish."
There were numerous individual career-highs in the meet, with junior Alyssa Straub (Nazareth, Pa.) tying the school record with a 9.875 on the vault. On the floor exercise, senior Danielle D'Elia (Colts Neck, N.J.) earned the first 9.900 for any Scarlet Knight on any event this season. Freshman Jenna Williams (Bordentown, N.J.) continued her impressive rookie season with a pair of 9.825 scores on the uneven bars and the balance beam to go with a 9.725 on the vault to win EAGL Rookie of the Week for the second time this year. She leads the conference with a 9.835 bars average.
Kent State (5-2, 2-0 MAC) is currently No. 24 in the country with a 194.875 team average through five meets. Most recently, the Flashes knocked off Bowling Green (195.800-193.825) in a conference road meet. Marie Case had a career-high 39.450 to win the all-around, highlighted by a 9.925 on both the balance beam and the floor exercise to win MAC Gymnast of the Week. Brice Biggin is in his 22nd year as head coach.
The meet is part of the "Beauty and the Beast" event at MAC Center in which both gymnastics and wrestling will take place at the same time in the arena.

He said earlier this year he was going to do it and now he has: Neil Diamond has written a song inspired by the Boston Marathon bombings, and plans to donate all the proceeds to charity.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will release the track, called "Freedom Song (They'll Never Take Us Down)," via iTunes and Amazon mp3 on July 2. 100% of the proceeds will go to One Fund Boston -- the charity set up to help the victims of the bombings -- and the Wounded Warrior Project.
In a statement, Diamond said, "I, like so many other Americans, felt helpless during the recent attacks in Boston and wanted so much to reach out and not only help those people affected in a direct way but to lift their spirits as well and let them know they were not alone; that the entire American community felt a close kinship with them."
Diamond, whose song "Sweet Caroline" is synonymous with baseball games at Boston's Fenway Park, added, "I was inspired enough to devote myself to the creation of a new song which expressed my love for this country and its two greatest assets: the spirit of its people and the freedoms it has afforded us all by law."
In other Neil Diamond news, he'll perform as a special guest on this year's edition of A Capitol Fourth, the annual PBS special which airs July 4 at 8 p.m. ET. Earlier that day, he'll debut "Freedom Song" live during the Nationals/Brewers game at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., during the Nationals' traditional In-Game Military Salute.

Cuisipro Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons
Daily Find
Cuisipro Stainless Steel Measuring Spoon Set
• $11.95
• Amazon
My measuring spoons are in sad shape — old plastic spoons with markings rubbed off — that sort of thing. My husband bought me this set of measuring spoons for Christmas, and they're delightful. Sturdy, narrow enough to fit in bottles, and with a curved handle that is perfect for prying open lids of spice tins.
Set includes 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1 teaspoon and 1 tablespoon. Another set is available that includes pinch, 1/8, 2/3, 1-1/2, and 2 teaspoon spoons.
3 Comments
I bought the full set of measuring cups (1/4, 1/3, 1/2, & 1 cup) and spoons for my mother-in-law for Christmas. The measuring cups are also oval shaped. She loves them because they are sturdy, and the oval shape makes measuring out of jars and spice containers much easier. I am looking to buy myself a set soon.
I HATE my stainless steel measuring spoons. They scrape against each other and make a terrible metallic sound. I have to store them all on individual hooks instead of the provided ring to prevent inadvertent scraping (and teeth grinding). As soon as I can find an attractive set that isn't metal, I'm replacing them.
I got these for my wife a couple of years ago because they were highly rated by Cooks Illustrated. We haven't been disappointed. The teaspoon has even survived a few rounds in the garbage disposal with only minor nicks and scratches.

Just a quick question. Is there a difference between the Sedu Pro Ionic 1" Flat Iron that comes in the value set (89.99) and the other 1" that is on sale for 75.00? They look exactly the same but I was wondering if there is a difference because the one that is on sale for 75.00 says that the regular price is 150.00 and the one in the value set doesn't have a regular price.

What is the single most important question that the youth of this era need to ask themselves?
The youth of today are growing up in a completely different world from their parents and grandparents. With all the technology, media, and economic problems of today, it makes me wonder about the questions that the youth should ask themselves.
What do you think is the single most important question that the youth need to ask themselves? What was a question you wish you would've asked your younger self?
Seo Rim Kim 100+Sep 11 2011: I'm a teenager, and if there's one question that's important to me, it's "Why?"
I think it's crucial to have that sense of healthy skepticism to question why the world is the way it is.
I also think if this world is open enough for me to dare ask the question "Why?" to the given information or the established "norms", it's a world where we can hope and create a better future.
Kevin Chow
sj smithSep 11 2011: The same as adults. What is my purpose and how do I achieve it.You may or may not need formal education to pursue your purpose. It may change, evolve, become achieved and need to be replaced. Not everyone's purpose is to change the world. I make things better where I can. The small things around me that people aren't noticing. I seek them and serve to fulfill them. I know that I have impacted others who have gone on to impact others. The ripple effect may create more good than I can ever know. Every great achievement can be traced down to small ones. Each step along the way someone served a purpose. Many others may find what appears to be a grander purpose. Someone's purpose may be to teach them how to achieve it.
Kent Spencer 10+Sep 9 2011: My idea is that they should ask themselves.....what is my purpose?
I believe thousands and thousands of people wake up everyday and simply go with the flow. And by flow, I mean operating within whats around them in their everyday lives. Young students usually don't find out who they are, and what their purpose is they work like robots in school. They never learn to think for themselves with the traditional methods of waking up, listen to the teacher, do homework. It gives off a feeling of having a job, instead of a system that's supposed to help you discover your purpose. This is major problem in the U.S. We end up with young adults making a life time decision in the course of their senior year winter-summer.....some spring-summer...some just summer...some in a matter of weeks. Then they end up not happy with the majors and careers they picked. All because they aren't tuned into their inner purpose, and are just going with the flow.

Sep 7 2011: My answers:
- Solve the obstruction of ideological divides. (i.e., learn to understand one another and reach agreements -- not necessarily compromises. Or, at least find a solution to working around those divides.)
- Learn from our mistakes, and take advantage of them.
- Unite, and progress. It's really all we can do!
- Use all non-destructive energy. No more gas.
- Develop an effective public education.
- Examine the ridiculous economic inequality.
Sep 8 2011: Hi Luke, yes, these are some of the answers but the answers are easy on paper. How can this next generation (upon which all of our hopes are pinned) actually implement them? Everyone in every generation might think that they know the answers but putting them into effect is the thing that has stymied us.
Sep 8 2011: Plainly put, enter politics as a movement. That's one way ideologies enter politics. (As this is really another ideology, that just takes into consideration the effects of ideological division.)
Maybe have a candidate run for president on a platform of solving ideological divides, learning from past mistakes, and progressing. Probably won't get into office, but this is how a lot of issues have been brought to the national stage in the past.
For the more specific issues, I believe solutions will inevitably happen, as society naturally progresses (and I see solving these as progress); we're just moving at an alarmingly slow, and dangerous rate, which is affecting millions of lives.
Sep 9 2011: what is 'better'?
as an example, many people who object to the pollution caused by cars suggest things were better before the car existed, but remain ignorant of the stench and rampant disease caused by all the horse dung in the street. and that was when he had far fewer people to transport around.
Ria Navarro
Lucas Burns 500+Sep 6 2011: This is the question I believe to be most significant to individuals in my generation:
What is important? -- There's so much raw data being thrown at me, I'm starting to drift away from texting and social media, because it's so much information, on top of the thousands of advertisements I've learned to block from my perception every day. While I don't expect all people of my generation to see why this question is important, it's crucial that they experience asking it. It is relieving to know that it's theoretically possible to be content without the need to imbibe more information.
There's an overload of data, and I think we may well see some movements grow out of this. Maybe it's just me, but I feel overwhelmed by the prodigious quantity of things nagging at me. Asking this question forces one to evaluate and filter the data penetrating his or her life.
Sep 6 2011: Youth are more vulnerable to bad influences of unfiltered information. And theres more of it these days. The selves are diluted in it.
We're much of what people makes us. In our parents/grandparents world most of the environment was family, home and neighborhood and now theres this Globalization thing.
I'm sorry I can't find words for my thoughts, as I'm in the middle of learning English, actually.
Sep 6 2011: Media can influence a child's ideas of what matters; for example, a shoe company can convince a child that its shoes will make him (or her) freakin' cool. This idea can seed a very materialistic lifestyle. In reality, it's hundreds of companies doing this meddling-- amid fragile child development.
Another example is the similar effects of reality television on youth my age. It exposes its viewers to an alluring pseudo-reality and influences the behavior of youth.
In effect, media (the media, social-media, television, advertisement) deeply affects the identity of children and youth. Because of this, it is crucial that the youth today determine what is important to themselves and understand who they are, not who they're molded into being.
Sep 6 2011: I also agree that the media is a huge problem for the young. I think what needs to be realised is that the problems they see broadcasted to them have always been there...always and not only have we survived but flourished. It now seems more condensed by the media, covering stories from every corner of the world and sensationalizing it. I am suggesting building emotional resilience in the face of the negative media monster. I grew up not having the problems of the world on my shoulders. Todays young have to deal with violence both local and global and are even pressured to take responsibility for the environment and future of this planet. I feel it is unaceptable emotional pressures placed on growing impressionable minds before they have developed the managing mechanisms of maturity.
To the parents of young children: in my opinion get them away from the tv and media. Let them enjoy thier young precious years of chidhood, let them dream and play in the dirt. Help them to have playful adventures and most of all teach them love and therefore respect. Dont enable/empower them to deal with adult concepts...after all, thats what adults are for. It is our job and we must not shirk from it by misdirecting the responsibility. We owe at least that much to our children.
Aida RaissiSep 12 2011: Youth need to ask themselves "if they have the courage to live the life that they want?" In today's society love has come to mean to suffer. A lot of youth tend to make decisions in life based on what their parents want because they love them even though that decision is NOT what they want. If youth have the courage to follow their interest despite disappointing their parents, they are much more likely to be successful in their careers and actually make a difference in the lives of the people around them.
Sep 11 2011: 'The single most important question' is a tricky question. Personally, I think that anything important requires more than 'single question'. It is simply because we ought to know whether we are asking the right question for the right matter.
Anyway, we should be asking ourself two most important question which is 1st - 'what do we want?" and 2nd - 'what choice do we have?'
These two probably the most important questions that not only the youth but the adult should be asking themselves and the rest is only the detail.
Sep 11 2011: Personally I think that it's not always important to "be happy" but to be able to recognize and deal with different moods in ourselves as well as others. Sometimes I just want to be left alone and sometimes I need to just leave others alone. If we can be cognisant and accepting of each other, I guess that will help us to navigate life and leave life on earth with peace in our souls. So if the youth can ask themselves "how can I create civility and peace in this world?", they'll be doing okay in my book.

Sep 9 2011: the question i often hear when we debate outside of class is;
"why can't they just leave us alone?"
the second most often question i hear is, "should we care about what parents/society/adults think?" a lot of my friends have advocated that we just wash our hands of you and go to sit out the coming natural disasters due from global warming and just do our own thing. there seems to be a hell of a lot of resentment about the assumption that because we were born in this society, we belong to them and have to follow their rules.
Sep 12 2011: I also see it as an issue that adults see themsleves as apart from youth - afterall youth were adults 20 years earlier and adults will be seniotrs in 20 years.
I don't know if adults or youth or seniors or babies OWN wars - I think wars are all ours, as we all live with the damage, the destruction and the division that they cause.
If there was only WE and no US or THEM - would there still be wars???
Sep 11 2011: i must congratulate you in your clarity- however it seems to me that you have not been clear with your first question, what do you mean by the 'emotional burden of their parents'?
to the second question; yes, a large number of students are more than able to 'take on' adult concepts and have been since we were 14, although i would say a large majority of us are uninterested in asking such questions and care more about things like football.
Sep 11 2011: My appology Tom, you have answered my second question and indirectly my first. The thread question is asking about children when citing talks related to this topic. In your first post I thought you were discussing kids not young adults, in which case they are indeed old enough to deal with the emotional burdens that are associated with most adult concepts. Thank you.
Sep 11 2011: chaos has a bad implications in english, even though i would say it is the natural state of affairs.
everyone has their own set of rules, or moral values and without a form of government people revert to these rules, which poses the question; "are people inherently good?" if they are we wouldn't need a government to set laws or to uphold them. if the answer is no, more likely, then it would revert to the strong take and the weak serve.
anyways i wasn't implying anarchy i was simply stating that many of my friends think we shouldn't have to be confined to the country were born in if we don't agree with its government.
some people just want to be left to their own devices and let others worry about politics and 'perceived threats' and money and things like that
Sep 12 2011: "Responsible freedom of self determination, becoming truly
self-confident and free, to unconditionally be responsible for oneself,
without being coerced to accept some higher authority."
i like how this puts it. btw this is for tom
Sep 12 2011: when you (or your friends) say "we just wash our hands of you and go to sit out the coming natural disasters due from global warming" there is a problem in that the average temperature will go up 6 degrees C in the next 100 years and mankind can't keep living in that environment because wheat and other food plants won't grow! so, yes, us adults caused the problem but everyone who understands what's happening needs to get out there and educate sweetly (not arrogantly) that a low carbon economy NOW is v important and lets get on with it
Sep 12 2011: On the one hand, there is nothing you can do about the society you were born into, so it's not worth the effort revolting against this fact. On the other hand, I think they "why can't they just leave alone?" also should be heard. It is true that imposing an older generation's rules on the one that follows is only helpful to a certain degree: every generation grows up with its own tools and at its own speed and we should keep this in mind when we ask ourselves what "young people" should or should not do.

BOSTON (AP) - Tuukka Rask finally lost his touch against some of the NHL's top scorers.
Boston's goalie gave up as many goals on Wednesday night as he did in four previous games combined as the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Bruins 6-5 in overtime to even the Stanley Cup finals 2-2.
Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, Chicago's top regular-season goal scorers, connected for the first time in the best-of-seven series. In the previous round, the Bruins swept Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins as Rask allowed just two goals in four games.
He began Wednesday night's game with a 1.64 goals against average and 14-5 record in the playoffs. But with loose defense by the Bruins and traffic in front of him by the Blackhawks, he had a rough night.

Attendance at the GNLI is by application and selection.
Applicants need to meet the required criteria and demonstrate the capacity, motivation and vision to undertake senior leadership development. A high level GNLI Advisory Committee invites applications annually, some ten months before the annual GNLI in September.
ICN takes the opportunity to contextualise the GNLI annually by focusing on a contemporary theme in the context of global health.
The 2014 GNLI theme is "Governance and Management". In the context of global governance and management issues, nurse leaders need to develop knowledge, and competencies that focus on professional and self-regulation. They also need to learn how to deal with increasingly complex ethical challenges and to develop skills to understand institutional governance and management in the context of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the United Nations, and other strategic partners.

Back to the B.C.
"It's not a tumor."
Julia Childless: I kept hearing my state governor's memorable line from the movie "Kindergarten Cop" as I left the endocrinologist's office with the news that he doesn't suspect a tumor, and that my cancer fears regarding my low thyroid levels can be put to rest.
These were wonderful things to hear, and I'm glad my subconscious had such a sense of humor, too. But the diagnosis, as a whole, was bittersweet: MRI, no; birth control pills, yes.
The idea is to regulate and even out my hormones over the next three to four months, to treat my amenorrhea. I've done this before. Like 1½ years ago, when I first decided I wanted to get pregnant. It did the trick -- I got my period back and was ovulating regularly. But then came the months of baby-making: charting my temperature, changing my diet, checking my cervical mucus, planning sex ... didn't I do this already? And my ovaries and I aren't getting any younger during these next three to four months.
But the other option -- to jump right into IVF -- didn't feel right, either. Although my husband and I know it might be something we do down the line (and we're financially prepared for it), it all seemed too rash. Too drastic. I still haven't done a number of basic fertility tests my reproductive endocrinologist recommended. The hysterosalpingogram, for example, which would show if there are any tubal/uterus problems. Then there are the fibroids he suspects I may have. And a possible uterine septum. My R.E. said these tests could still be conducted while I'm on the pill.
So really, the next three or four months are a blessing. I can go through these tests without the added stress of actively trying to conceive. Even though it seems like I'm going backwards, I'm actually moving forward.
Baby steps.
|Julia Childless is a working actress living in Los Angeles without fertility insurance who has been trying to produce a bun in the oven for over a year.

On April 28, economist and intelligence analyst James Rickards was a guest on the late night Coast to Coast AM radio show to speak upon current economic events. During his two hour interview, Rickards addressed the ongoing financial cold war percolating between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine, and how economic sanctions placed on Russia by the U.S. could easily and lawfully be used to freeze and confiscate the bank accounts, retirement funds, and other assets of the American people.
President Obama, along with other members of his Executive Branch, are using a law passed during the Cater administration to justify the imposing of sanctions on Russian affiliated financial transactions and accounts. This law, known as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), gives the President complete and utter dictatorial powers over all international financial and economic matters that the President deems to be critical. And since the entire global monetary system is now inter-connected, and the dollar plays the role as the global reserve currency, the President is not limited to using these powers solely against sovereign states, but the law is formulated to allow it be used domestically as Obama sees fit.
Jim Rickards: In on of his first days in office, President Roosevelt confiscated all the gold in the country. Now you ask, how did he do that? He did it by Executive Order, and the statutory basis for this was the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917.
Now this law was enacted during WWI, so we could seize German assets that were in America. So who was the enemy in 1933? There was no war going on, but the President used this act to seize the gold, so in his mind, it was the American people who were the enemy.
There is a more power statute on the books today... the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. It gives the President dictatorial powers in the event of an international economic crisis. Now, show me an economic crisis that's not international? They are all international.
This is what they use in this financial war with Russia. When the Treasury issued sanctions to freeze the assets of the head of Rostov Oil, they used this IEEPA.
They can use this whenever they want, and they can use it against Americans if they deem it. - Coast to Coast AM, April 28
The United States is an insolvent country, with debt levels being greater than the annual productivity of the nation. At its present time, the National Debt is more than $17 trillion, with annual budget deficits ranging between $600 billion and $1.3 trillion over the past five years. And because of this escalating debt spiral, both President Obama and certain members of Congress have been looking hard at the nearly $17 trillion in private pension and retirement accounts as a way to pay off some of the government's debt obligations, and capitalize their way out of years of fiscal irresponsibility.
As many alternative economists have predicted, 2014 will be a pivotal year for the dollar and for the continuation of U.S. hegemony over the global reserve currency. And when empires reach the point where standard economic practices and policies no longer are sufficient, history has shown, even as recently as America in 1933, that a government is more than willing to confiscate the money and assets of their citizens to sustain that empire, even to the detriment of the entire economic system.

Expert Makeup Tricks
Charlie Green and Anthony Sorensen share tips for avoiding common beauty blunders.
When it comes to makeup, almost everyone makes the same basic mistakes, says Martha's personal makeup artist Charlie Green.
Follow her simple guide to achieve a foolproof look, even on the hottest of days.
How to Make Makeup Last Longer
When the temperature rises, keep your makeup from melting by using a primer. Primer does double duty by providing a smooth "second skin" to work on and ensuring your makeup lasts throughout the entire day.
How to Apply Bronzer
Be careful not to choose a bronzer that is too sparkly or too ginger in color. Don't use bronzer in patches, and never apply it only to the cheeks. Instead, use a nice, soft, large brush to dust bronzer all over your complexion to evoke a healthy glow. To dilute application, try dipping your brush in translucent powder as well. Always stand back and look at your decollete and neck, making sure to blend these areas with a soft brush to avoid makeup lines.
Charlie used bronzer and brushes from Clinique; blush, eye shadow, and primer from Lancome; and eyelid primer and lip gloss from Smashbox.
Oh, and the brushes, clear handles, were from Clinique's The Brush Collection anti-bacterial brushes. The red handled brushes also look like they could also be from Smashbox due to the red handles.Reply
Looking at the Smashbox site the lipgloss was the Limitless Long Wearing Lipgloss and the primer was the Photo Finish Lid Primer in Golden Nude. Thanks Waterview2 for the bronzer info.
I agree that they should have put a list up for viewers so we wouldn't have to do such a eye straining hunt! lol!
I read Clinique on the bronzer, the eyeshadow and blush were Lancome. She stated the lipgloss was Smashbox, primer was Lancome, and I don't know about the rest. Laura Mercier makes good eye primers too. She also said the brushes were Clinique. I wish they listed the product name and colors as do others on this board.Reply
I agree; if they mention the name on the air it should be listed here. So glad some of you have such a great attention span. Just went to a Lancome site and couldn't find it - now that I know the name maybe I will be able to.Reply
I also would like to know both the brand name and color for the bronzer and cream eye shadow primer. My skin coloring is pretty close to the model used and both the bronzer and eye shadow used, I think would look grean on myself. Any chance you can post that info on your website as well as include such information on the demo products used in the future. Thanks so muchReply
Based on what I heard Martha and Charlie say the primer products were: Lancome (La Base Pro) Primer and Smashbox (Photofinish) Lid Primer. Based on the appearance of the product during a closeup, the bronzer was: Clinique Almost Bronzer SPF 15.Reply
I was trying to catch the maker, too. Didn't recognize the packaging. Did anyone catch the bronzer brand, either? I agree, they should have listed what Charlie used.Reply
What was the bronzer brand and eye primer? Thanks.Reply
I saw the show today and Martha asked what brand, picked up the primer and then said,"Oh,lancome", and then set it down. HOWEVER...ANY primer is good, because they are all silicone based, so the brand does not matter. Really, it's whatever brand is the cheapest, because all primer is the same (as long as it's silicone based). The makeup artist also said to put it on over moisturizer. Some of the primers have SPF in them too.Reply
was the eye primer Clinique also?Reply
What was the brand of the makeup primer and the eye primer?Reply
It was Clinique bronzer, same compact and duo color.Reply
It was Clinique bronzer, same compact and duo color.Reply
I was trying to catch the maker, too. Didn't recognize the packaging. Did anyone catch the bronzer brand, either? I agree, they should have listed what Charlie used.Reply
The packaging of the bronzer looks like Stila Sun bronzing powder, it has spf 15 and has a matte finish. It sounds n looks like what she was using. the eye shadow primer could be smashbox's.Reply
I also agree that the show should have mentioned all brands during the make-over because viewers might want to purchase them. I especially wondered the brand of the bronzer and the eye primer and the cheek color she used. I looked on marthastewart.com and there was no info on the make-over at all. Maybe since many are putting these comments on this website, they would give out the info finally.
I was trying to catch the maker, too. Didn't recognize the packaging. Did anyone catch the bronzer brand, either? I agree, they should have listed what Charlie used.Reply
Did anyone catch the maker of the eye primer? I wish they had listed the products used. And I wished Charlie Green had given an idea how to make the dark circles disappear, as her approach is light and fresh!Reply

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) - A New Jersey chemist accused of fatally poisoning her estranged husband with thallium she got at work has been convicted of murder.
A Middlesex County jury also found Tianle Li guilty Tuesday of hindering her own prosecution. She faces life in prison when she's sentenced Sept. 30.
The 44-year-old Li worked for pharmaceutical company Bristol-Myers Squibb for 10 years. Prosecutors claimed she murdered Xiaoye Wang by poisoning him with thallium, a highly toxic metal, while they were in the process of divorcing.
Authorities said Li got the chemical at work and slipped it in her 39-year-old husband's food in the weeks before he died in January 2011. They said she killed him because she didn't want the divorce.
The couple had a young son.

One year ago today my doctor called me in the afternoon.
I was in bed. He cleared his throat a couple times and then he told me the reason I'd been feeling weak, seeing weird blindingly bright spots in my vision, and had a fever that wouldn't go away was because my blood was full of ineffective, malformed white blood cells.
I had AML leukemia. If I did nothing, I'd die in a few weeks.
A few hours later, I had a flight to the East Coast booked for early the next morning. I spent the night in a San Francisco hospital getting blood transfusions and antibiotics to allow me to fly.
I landed in NYC, my parents picked me up, and we drove to Yale's Smilow Cancer Hospital. When they started pumping cell-killing poison into my bloodstream, the hospital became my home and my prison for the next few months.
I cried. I felt sorry for myself. I didn't believe it was true.
Friends banded together and started drives across the country, then across the globe. I did interview after interview. Newspapers, TV, and radio helped spread the word. Facebook, twitter, and tumblr got people to drives. I couldn't leave the hospital, and sometimes I was throwing up too much or too weak to talk. We kept going.
We organized online, and my prison became our stem cell drive campaign headquarters.
Friends donated time, money, connections. Strangers sent mail, hundreds of photos, and organized drives. Celebrities made videos. Tens of thousands registered to be stem cell donors. (Matches for others in need continue to come out of those drives.)
The nurses and doctors continued to pump poison into my blood, eliminating cancerous cells and healthy cells alike. They hoped to hold the leukemia at bay until a donor could be found.
A few months later, we found a donor! Friends and strangers had banded together to save my life.
I had my transplant in late January. And then began the year-long recovery process I'm currently in:
15-20 pills a day, on-and-off steroids to combat Graft vs Host Disease, nausea, weakness, muscle atrophy, scopes down my throat, probes up my nose until they hit my throat. Weekly, then bi-monthly blood tests, immunosuppressants - which keep my immune system from attacking my organs, but also make me susceptible to disease. Needles, needles, needles, so many needles, fevers, infections, severe mucositis, so much pain they gave me a button to press to give myself morphine whenever I wanted, anti-nausea drugs that resulted in weeks of lost memories, blood clots, followed by months of blood thinners, teeth issues, corneal damage, a slate of other issues a little too graphic to write about, crazy painful out-of-nowhere hand and leg cramps…
…all bumps along the road.
My counts are up. There's no sign of recurrence yet. If I'm lucky, there never will be. I feel more normal with each passing week.
I was able to leave the hospital, and then able to leave my parents' home.
I got to spend the summer in NYC, reconnecting with old friends, and returning to work at Photojojo part-time. I just saw my brother get married, saw a live volcano in Hawaii, saw the sun set above the clouds and the clearest night sky in the world. I visited Portland for the first time, and spent a week in SF working and seeing friends. Now we're planning a road trip to move back West. We leave in a few weeks… on motorcycles.
A year ago I was on a plane from SF to CT because I was dying.
Today I'm on a plane from SF to CT, and I feel more alive than I have in a very long time.
Photo @ Twin Peaks last week in SF. (You can see photos of our adventures by following @superamit on Instagram!)

Common WordPress Installation Issues
Missing style sheet error when installing the theme
A common issue that can occur with users new to installing WordPress themes is a "Broken theme and/or stylesheets missing" error message being displayed when trying to upload or activate the theme. This error message does not mean that the theme you have purchased is broken, it simply means it has been uploaded incorrectly. Luckily, there is a very easy fix.
Frequently Asked Questions
I wanna show my sidebar in single column all the time.
You should do just like this, http://www.screenr.com/5WU7
I wanna set full width on my blog section. How can I do that?
Please watch this video, http://www.screenr.com/oWU7
.blog .wrapper.main-content {width:100%}
How to change post glow effect or disable and change background color
Insert this styles in your Theme Custom CSS section.
iconImage:hover, .iconInstagram:hover, .iconVideo:hover { opacity: .5; /*This is glow effect*/ -ms-filter: "alpha(opacity=50)"; /*for IE*/ filter: alpha(opacity=50); background: url(images/overlay-bg.png) no-repeat center center transparent; background-color: white; /*Change the color of your own*/ }
Just i buy this theme but i cant install it say Installing Theme from uploaded file: themeforest-3427725-extragrid-creative-blog-multimedia-theme.zip
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme… The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.
please fix that and tell me
Please extract main archive first. Then use ExtraGrid.zip file for installing.
That's it
Can you tell me what are the sizes of posts for medium/large/extra large layout please?
Sure, Followings are width of images on high resolutions. Height is relative to original img size
I would like to put the Filter and LOGO center on the page and hide main menu. How to do that?
Width property is very important when you set centering some html elements. Then please measure your logo and category list width. And use following style with Custom CSS field and set some width arguments in it on logo and category list
/***** LOGO ****/ #header .navbar .brand, .navbar .brand { float:none; padding:40px 0; /* setting logo bottom top size */ width:335px; /* your original image width, should set */ } .btn-logo-container { width:1240px; /* setting logo area width */ } .nav-toolbar-container { display:none; /* hiding menu section */ } /***** Filter ****/ ul#filters { margin: 0 auto; width: 867px; /* Your filter cats width, should measure and set */ }
When I open the post with the shared URL, it doesn't open modal box. What did i wrong?
You'll see post permalink on browser's address bar when you open the model view. Then you share it, just shares post url.
People can share your posts from anywhere including front page, archive page, search result or recent posts. But simple sharing url doesn't have any information from where shared it is. Post permalink comes from core wordpress and it is definitely impossible bind (extend) some location information in simple post permalink.
And it opens on single page as wordpress goes to single page when access to post permalink.
How can I show my post filter at top as in your demo site?
Blog page has some options including filter option there.
Also please watch this video explain, http://www.screenr.com/kBA7 This on my another theme, but method is identical

What influences a man's decision to ask for a woman's hand in marriage? If you're Chilean miner Esteban Rojas, it's being trapped in a mine for more than a month. Yesterday, Esteban, who's been stuck in a mine shaft for more than a month along with 32 others, sent a letter up asking his girlfriend of 25 years, Jessica Ganiez, to finally marry him. Said Ganiez, "I have tried to hint at it many times, but it never happened. He always said getting married is a once in a lifetime thing and he would ask me when the time is best. Obviously, what has happened has made him do it."
But men trapped in mines aren't the only ones who wait an extremely long time to get hitched … Keep reading »

At the start of next week, we're closing on the house and moving, so right now is a crazy and chaotic time. We've been boxing up stuff, we acquired a copy of all of our documents to be signed at the close and are reading through them (it's like a book and half of it is pure legalese), and we go to bed exhausted every night. A good exhausted, though.
Your Advice To Your Younger Self My biggest advice: don't start playing Magic: the Gathering. I spent four years playing that game and although I actually wound up slightly financially ahead for the time I played (I was good at playing in tournaments), the amount of time I spent was not worth it. If I had spent that time investing in a blog… whew! (@ consumerism commentary)

3-6 Months of Living Expenses? There's something about Julie Rains' writing style that I just like. I get this feeling that there's this underlying hint of sarcasm and humor here and there, but the advice is sincere. (@ wise bread)
The Simple Dollar Retro: A Beginners' Guide To Kitchen Equipment I give into my foodish tendencies here, but for a good reason. Many people get frustrated early on with cooking at home because nothing works, stuff sticks to pans and doesn't cook evenly, and so on. I laid out a beginner's guide to good and relatively inexpensive kitchen equipment here for just those people – they want to get started cooking at home, but their pans are atrocious.

Part of Crestline Elementary School is being reconstructed across the country to help figure out how a fire started.
The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is helping the Vancouver Fire and Police Departments with the investigation.
The ATF is rebuilding part of the school at the National Fire Research Laboratory in Maryland to examine a fire in a controlled setting.
It could take months to determine the cause of the three-alarm fire that destroyed the school earlier this month.
Investigators are also sifting through the rubble, asking teachers what they had in their rooms and questioning first responders about what they saw as they arrived.

This ecocide is not getting enough media play around Chattanooga; however, the New York Times Front Page is covering it:
KINGSTON, Tenn. — What may be the nation's largest spill of coal ash lay thick and largely untouched over hundreds of acres of land and waterways Wednesday after a dam broke this week, as officials and environmentalists argued over its potential toxicity.
Federal studies have long shown coal ash to contain significant quantities of heavy metals like arsenic, lead and selenium, which can cause cancer and neurological problems. But with no official word on the dangers of the sludge in Tennessee, displaced residents spent Christmas Eve worried about their health and their property, and wondering what to do.
The spill took place at the Kingston Fossil Plant, a Tennessee Valley Authority generating plant about 40 miles west of Knoxville on the banks of the Emory River, which feeds into the Clinch River, and then the Tennessee River just downstream.
Holly Schean, a waitress whose home, which she shared with her parents, was swept off its foundation when millions of cubic yards of ash breached a retaining wall early Monday morning, said, "They're giving their apologies, which don't mean very much."
