Ian Newbould, a former college provost and president, will become the interim president of St. Mary's College of Maryland starting in August following the departure of Joseph Urgo.
"I am honored to have been selected as interim president of St. Mary's College and look forward to joining this extraordinary institution," Newbould said in a statement released Monday morning. He will serve as interim president for at least the next academic year while the college's board of trustees searches for the next president.
Newbould most recently served as interim provost at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va. He has spent more than three decades in higher education, including serving as president of Richmond, The American International University in London; North Carolina Wesleyan College in Rocky Mount, N.C.; and Mount Allison University in New Brunswick, Canada.
Urgo, who was hired three years ago as president of St. Mary's College, announced in May that he would not ask the college's board of trustees to renew his contract, which ends at the end of June.
Chip Jackson, the college's vice president for business and finance, will function as acting president until Newbould arrives Aug. 1.
Urgo sought to diversify the campus and make it more accessible.
However, in the beginning of May the college announced it had a dramatic shortfall in the number of new freshmen enrolling for next academic year. The college expected to enroll 470 freshmen, but by May 1 only about 320 committed to attend. Since then some additional students have enrolled, however the freshman class remains about 100 students shy of the enrollment goal.
The college is planning $3.5 million in budget cuts — some permanent and some temporary — to make up for the shortfall in tuition now expected next year.
In addition to Urgo, Pat Goldsmith, the vice president of admissions and financial aid, and Keisha Reynolds, assistant vice president of external relations, have departed St. Mary's College in the last month.
Newbould, the new interim president, is a graduate of the University of Western Ontario. He received his master's degree from the University of Guelph in Canada and a doctorate in history from the University of Manchester in England.
"We are extremely pleased to have a distinguished academic leader and scholar on board to provide leadership during such an important period in our college's history," Gail Harmon, trustee chair, said in a statement. "Dr. Newbould has a clear appreciation of and commitment to St. Mary's special mission as a public liberal arts college; he is proud to serve the designated honors college of the state of Maryland."

East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - Lawrence Tynes drilled four field goals and the Giants held the Jets without a touchdown Saturday in a 26-3 preseason win.
Eli Manning played the entire first half, but only connected on half of his 14 passes for 62 yards and an interception, while Victor Cruz caught five passes for 51 yards.
The Giants avoided an early scare as starting running back Ahmad Bradshaw was taken to the locker room for X-rays on his hand after just three carries. The X-rays came back negative, but Bradshaw remained on the sidelines for the rest of the contest.
Backup D.J. Ware carried the ball 11 times for 15 yards in place of Bradshaw.
Mark Sanchez finished 9-of-11 for 59 yards and an interception that was returned for a touchdown and Shonn Greene rushed for 36 yards on 11 carries.
Tim Tebow got his first game action in front of the New York in the second half and went 5-of-14 for 69 yards.
Tynes nailed a 35-yard field goal midway through the first quarter and added a 30-yarder early in the second to give the Giants a 6-0 lead.
Sanchez was picked off late in the second quarter by Jayron Hosley, who went 77 yards the other way to extend the Giants' lead to 13-0.
Tynes' third field goal of the game, a 40-yarder, pressed the Giants advantage to 16-0 early in the third.
Tebow completed his first three passes and went 4-of-5 for 52 yards overall on his first series. The drive stalled late and the Jets settled for a 30-yard field goal from Josh Brown for their only points of the game.
Tynes added a 45-yard field goal early in the fourth to make it 19-3 before third-stringer Ryan Perrilloux found Joe Martinek for a 14-yard touchdown to account for the final margin.
The Jets don't have a touchdown in two preseason games.

Show of hands, who remembers the Till 21 Club?
I have some memory of it, only because one of my old babysitters snuck me into the club one evening when I was about 10 years old.
Till 21 Club was a very popular weekend hangout for teenagers in Creston during the early 1990s. There were dances there every Friday and Saturday evenings. There were arcade games and concessions. Occasionally, a special DJ from Des Moines would come play music at the club. It was the place to be for teenagers during the early 1990s.
Despite its popularity, the club closed in the mid-1990s.
However, Till 21 Club found its way back into the public eye last week.
Kustom Kakery Event Center will soon be doing business where Till 21 Club used to be. Coincidentally, the owner of Kustom Kakery — Kylie Clayton (Smith) — was one of my babysitters when I was younger. She was not the one who snuck me into Till 21 Club. I want to make that clear.
She was a cool babysitter, though, except for that time she held me down and let my brother Korey shove a dirty sock in my mouth. But, hey, I probably deserved it. I had a tendency to pick on my brother.
I was excited to see Kylie and her gang at Kustom Kakery are opening a business in uptown Creston. I first viewed and tried one of her cakes during the CNA's holiday to holiday extravaganza last year. She's got a real talent.
And, it sounds like making creative cakes isn't her only plans.
Her gang, plus Mitch Sorensen, want to bring back a teenage hangout like the Till 21 Club. Kustom Kakery Event Center will be hosting middle and high school dances from 6 to 8 p.m. and 9 to 12 p.m. respectively, when they get their doors open and are finally settled in. The dances will be held on the first and third Saturday of the month.
Read the full story on Kustom Kakery Event Center written by Sarah Brown in last Friday's Creston News Advertiser.
I hope the Creston community really supports Kylie's business. If you don't, I'll hold you all down and put a sock in your mouth. Joking. But seriously, give her business a try if you haven't already. I think you'll have a real nice experience.
• Must-see movie: Stormy Lee and I caught the movie "42" this past weekend. It's the story of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in professional baseball. We both loved the movie. Harrison Ford is outstanding in his role as Brooklyn Dodgers Executive Branch Rickey. It's a must-see movie even if you don't like baseball.
• FYI: The sirens heard Monday morning in Creston were a test. These tests will continue at 10 a.m., on the 1st and 15th of every month this spring.
• Tornado: If you missed Monday's edition of the Creston News Advertiser, pick up a copy. It has tons of before and after tornado photos. There are five pages dedicated to our one-year anniversary edition of the tornado. It really shows how far Creston has come in one year.

I haven't looked inside my inverter tig machine, but would not be surprised to see some electrolytic capacitors on control boards, particularly power supplies. Some e-caps go bad in 8-10 years, so perhaps, we have this to look forward to. I have brought TVs and VCRs back to life by replacing bad caps.

Inverter welders are more versatile than transformer welders but they have a weakness. Inverter welders have many, many more internal connections than transformer based welders and their components are more sensitive to sustained high temperatures. Time, temperature changes and use cycles have a tendency wreak havoc on inverter welders.
The only way to reduce the effect of these evils is to do what Cruizer suggested: keep the welder cool by blowing it out and (most important) periodically tighten the internal connections that loosen with heating/cooling (use cycles). It does not take much in the way of increased resistance to current flow, read this as connections not quite snug (remember, high amps require uninterrupted current pathways), to burn out internal components. The result of negligence can be very, very expensive.Miller XMT-350 CC/CV

Here is my 2 cents
and probably not worth that.
Owning a shop I look at the cost of equipment and what it can produce in the time it is alive.
If a $4000.00 machine lasts 12 years and can produce say 8 hours a day at lets say you get $50/hour. What is the value of the machine?
Go get another because you have set aside your $3/month for new equipment, haven't you?
Stop complaning, some of my equipment cost over $100K each and I have worked them 10 to 12 hours a day and 2 of them are 15years old. My hourly is higher than $50. My new equipment fund will buy replacements at this point for cash. If you prepare, do your maintainance, work the machines for profit, not just to get by you will be fine.

Back on topic:
The one type of component that that limits the life of modern electronic equipment is the electrolytic capacitor. By its very nature it contains an electrolyte that will, over time, leak and/or evaporate. Of course there are exceptions to every rule and there are a few Atwater-Kent radios with huge old electrolytic cans-- or the earlier cardboard tubes-- that may still work, although by far the majority died decades ago.
Modern electrolytics are even designed with a safety top that allows them to more safely leak/explode when they die. Not that long ago, millions of counterfeit Chinese electrolytics made there way into even high-end consumer electronics such as cellphones, auto modules, even Apple computers-- leading to a premature death at considerable cost to customers.
Electrolytic capacitors are even designed with a life expectancy-- usually measured in thousands of hours at a given maximum temperature. Heat is their enemy which explains why the life of inverter welders is shorter than old transformers. Open a modern inverter welder or plasma cutter, and you will find its boards packed with small electrolytic cans.
In addition to being run right up to their duty cycle when they automatically shut down to cool off, inverters often spend their working lives in garages exposed to extremes of hot and cold-- all of which ultimately kill electrolytics.
If science can someday design a device to replace electrolytics, such device possessing the stability of components such as resistors, transistors, diodes, inductors-- including transformers and chokes-- and microprocessors, you can expect the life of electronic equipment to increase exponentially.
However such a mass-produced device is still in the theoretic world of optical buses.

capacitor life
Previous posters are correct--heat and electrolytic caps will bound the life of any piece of electronic gear.
Don't electrolytics dislike sitting idle month after month? I recall (dimly) discussions about "reforming" stale caps, required after long periods of non-use. I believe the reforming procedure isn't a cure all, and I don't think it could be performed feasibly on the multitude of small electrolytics on a circuit board.
Obviously this isn't a problem for the professional welder, but might be for a hobbyist.
Maybe one of Miller's reliability engineers could weigh in: Would firing up an inverter welder at least, say, every month extend the capacitor life of an inverter device?

My Japanese OTC AVP300 amp inverter Tig machine is still going strong and it's got to be over 12 years old now.
It's an older style analogue machine which doesn't have some of the features the new machines have now but it still has the best AC balance control of any machine I've used.
Looking inside the machine to how it's made and it's 1st rate with everything neatly in place.
This is my daily workhorse and it gets used all the time and apart from cooking a couple a Tig torches it has done so much work it's paid for itself many times over.
There is no way I'd ever go back to a transformer machine, the characteristics of the inverter makes it superior in so many situations, particularly on the AC side.

This was an issue with Variable Frequency Drives when they first started showing up in the industrys. You were counseled to power up the drive and let it sit idle for some hours to recondition the caps from storage. I haven't seen that admonition for many years but I still do it with any new install.
I doubt that there's been any significant improvement in Electrolytics over the years....

The Ridgway Township Municipal Authority adopted a flushing plan at their regular meeting Thursday night as a preventative measure to remove excess chlorine and other byproducts from the water system.
Works superintendent Carl Gosnell noted the plan has been approved by the Department of Environmental Protection [DEP].
"This was part of what was required as part of a consent decree," Gosnell said. "The flushing plan is available when it becomes necessary. Currently we are taking the temperature of the water and the temperature of the water does not require flushing at this point in time, if and when it does, we will abide by the plan that is approved by the DEP.
According to Gosnell, the plan will be activated when water temperatures increase.
"The plan is available when the temperature exceeds 60 degrees Fahrenheit," Gosnell said. "When the water temperature exceeds 60 degrees, that's what activates the plan."

St. Mary's jurors convicted James Kenneth Clay Jr., 36, on Wednesday afternoon of felony murder, first-degree burglary and a robbery-conspiracy offense in the Feb. 7 death of 37-year-old Robert Lee McDowney Sr. at his St. Inigoes residence.
St. Mary's State's Attorney Richard D. Fritz (R) said as he left the courthouse in Leonardtown that he will seek a sentence for Clay of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
"This was a home invasion, one of the most fearful types of crimes," the prosecutor said, and one that "cries out" for the state's maximum penalty.
Jurors deliberated the case for about six hours.
Clay is the first defendant to stand trial in the case. Andre Lionel Bowman, 31, of Laurel is scheduled to face trial next month on charges including first-degree murder and armed robbery. Joseph William Medley III, a 30-year-old Great Mills resident, also is scheduled to face trial later next month on the same charges.

SAO SEBASTIÁO DOS PARAISO, Brazil -- Incoming Duke freshman Rasheed Sulaimon scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting to help the Team USA Men's U18 National Team to a commanding 105-42 win over the U.S. Virgin Islands in the preliminary round of the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship on Saturday afternoon.
A native of Houston, Texas (Strake Jesuit College Prep), Sulaimon played the second most minutes of any USA player and filled the stat sheet with five rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block. He shot 1-of-3 from the three-point line as Team USA scored at least 22 points in all four quarters.
Forward Shaq Goodwin led Team USA with 30 points on a perfect 12-of-12 shooting performance. Forwards Jarnell Stokes (19 points) and Julius Randle (12 points) also scored in double figures.
"I thought we got much better in the second half. I thought we took advantage of our frontcourt players," said USA and University of Florida head coach Billy Donovan. "In the first half we turned it over a little too much, but we did a great job getting to the free throw line, we went to the free throw line 33 times in the first half. The problem was we only converted 16-of-33, we left a lot of points out there. But I thought as the game started to unfold we did a better job of recognizing that we had a huge advantage up front and I thought Shaq Goodwin, Jarnell Stokes, Montrezl (Harrell), all those guys did a nice job finishing around the basket."
Goodwin's 30-point outpouring was the third highest single game scoring effort in USA Basketball U18 Championship history. His 12-12 shooting set a U.S. mark for highest field goal percentage in a U18 game.
"I think the chemistry really just built up towards the second half. I knew our guards we're going to push it so I basically just had to run the floor and they put me in the best position to score," said Goodwin. "I've never had a game like that before and I didn't realize (perfect shooting) it (tonight). I was just playing basketball, I don't know, I was just at the right place at the right time."
Never trailing in the contest, the USA showed it was stronger, deeper and more talented than the undermanned U.S. Virgin Islands squad.

Comments about Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff RecycleBone:
I didn't give it to my boxer because he would have chewed it to pieces. Nothing great about it. It had an awful smell, had to wash it real good, then I gave it away.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

too good to be true

The labs loved them but went right to trying to destroy. Had the ends chewed off within a week. Then they ingest, vomit, or poop out. There doesn't really appear to be any of the toys that are truly indestructible.

Best in Beauty: October's Hottest Hair, Makeup and Skincare TipsSEE MORE
How to Get Mermaid-y WavesThe new season of The Hills just kicked off, but if you've seen any recent pics of Audrina Patridge, you may have noticed that these days, she looks a bit different from those taped episodes. The big change? No, she's not back with Justin Bobby (at least we hope not, for her sake!). She's been working a longer, looser, wavier hairstyle. "It's all about clean, simple glamour, with a nod to the return of mermaid waves," says Patridge's stylist, Jonathan Hanousek, about the star's new longer locks and softer curls. To get the look, Hanousek gave her a classic blow-dry, using a medium-round brush. He then took thin but wide sections of her hair and spritzed them with a firm-hold hairspray before wrapping each section around a 1 1/4-inch curling iron. He rolled each section in the same direction so that after he finished curling her hair and brushing the curls out to soften the wave, all her mermaid-y curls would fall into place more easily. He finished with a little shine serum and some softer-hold hairspray to keep hair flexible. Hanousek kept Audrina's longer bangs straight for a soft, modern feel. Cool, right? Stay tuned for more celebrity hair and makeup tips this week!
A Cool New Way to Do a French ManicureWhether you're a French mani fan who wants to try something new or a try-every-trend chameleon type who's into the latest and greatest nail colors, I think you're going to like the nail look that Melrose Place hottie Jenna Dewan (that's her hand pictured at left) sported recently. She paired dark shimmery tips with a classic neutral polish on the rest of her nails. It's a fresh new look that lets you play with the dark polish trend without going totally Goth. (Plus, this style has the added advantage of hiding dirty fingernails. Sure it sounds a little gross, but admit it: Sometimes it hard to keep nails totally shiny and grime-free, especially when wearing a classic white French manicure.) To steal Dewan's look, try Lippman Collection's silvery Wicked Game Nail Color.
Awesome Alert: A New Celeb Eyeliner Look That's as Pretty as It Is AffordableHey, Gossip Girl fans, have you ever noticed how crazy beautiful Jessica Szohr's eyes are? Turns out there's more to her pretty peepers than just good genes. Her makeup artist, Tina Turnbow, told me the secret liner combination she uses to enhance Jessica's gorgeous blue-green eyes. She mixes emerald, navy and gray eyeliners—all from the drugstore!—to get the beautiful eye-opening effect that enhances all the colors in Jessica's irises and makes her eyes really pop. Here's the recipe: "I love combining liners and blending them together—Maybelline Line Express Eyeliners rock! On Jessica, I use Blackened Sapphire, then layer Charcoal Gray on top, followed by Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil in Green Shimmer on top at the inner corners." You don't have to have an HD TV to see that the results are downright stunning. Try Turnbow's faves or just experiment with two colors you already have to get your own customized layered liner look.
An Easy Way to Amp Up Your Hair Color, No Dye Job Required!Actress Isla Fisher stepped out recently wearing a stunning new hair hue. It wasn't red, wasn't blond and wasn't brown—but kind of a gorgeous combination of all three! Celeb hair pro Doug Macintosh of New York City's John Sahag salon says it's much less red than Isla's usual shade and calls the new color "a golden honey brown." If you're digging Fisher's hair color but you're not sure you're ready to go for a full-on dye job, Macintosh offers these great tips on how brunettes and redheads can try the look without too much commitment: Simply rinse hair with John Frieda Sheer Blonde Luminous Color Glaze in Honey to Caramel to warm up the lighter shades in your hair. Or use two shades of L'Oréal Colorist Conditioners—in both Sunflower and Honey. Mix the two shades in equal parts, apply and leave in for 20 minutes before rinsing. Like the result? Keep using the concoction every other shampoo or ask your colorist for a more permanent golden honey rinse with some lighter widely spaced highlights. Macintosh cautioned against using the word red when asking for this look because to most colorists, red means bright Jessica Rabbit hair, while Fisher's look is more golden. A better way to describe her hue is an auburn honey or "the color between blond and brunette on the color scale."
Finally: A Really, Really Easy Way to Create Smoky EyesYou'll want to keep this photo of Jennifer Hudson around for a while; it's a great illustration of the easy eye makeup tip that celebrity makeup artist Jeffrey Paul recently gave me (and that you'll want to steal). It's so simple, you won't believe you ever thought there was a mystery behind smoky eye makeup. Seriously! Paul says just start by applying the darkest color in a tricolor eyeshadow palette (or a dark eyeliner—your choice) right on top of your lash line. Let the color merge into a slightly less dark shade on the lid. Next add the lightest color—one closest to your own skin tone—from the top of the lid all the way up to the crease, then blend them all together so that the whole look seems to fade from dark to light. See how pretty it looks on Jennifer Hudson? She even upped the ante by letting her dark shadows merge into a silvery highlighter shade at the crease line and inner eye, which really opens up her eyes. You can also dab a highlighter at the inner corner for an eye-widening/brightening effect. Paul & Joe's Eye Color Palais Royale ($23) and the lightest shade in Neutrogena's Nourishing Eyeshadow Quad in Blue Smoke ($10) will both do the trick.
Get Your Hands on This Hot Fall Nail TrendWhile one of those pretty—yet pricey—Chanel handbags might have to stay on your dare-to-dream wish list, this season you can get your hands on one Chanel must-have for $25! I give you Chanel Jade nail polish, one of the biggest beauty hits of the fall 2009 season. I keep seeing the beautiful pale green color pop up on celebs like Rachel Bilson, Alexa Chung and New York It Girl DJ Leigh Lezark. First spotted at the Chanel fall 2009 runway show in Paris last winter, Jade hit U.S. stores in early fall and has been a best-seller ever since. And though it's sold out online, you can still buy Jade at Chanel boutiques and makeup studios or go for close runner-up, take a dark green polish like Butter London's British Racing Green and mix with a little light pink polish for a pale and pretty DIY version. Chanel mastermind Karl Lagerfeld created the shade so that it would match up perfectly with the green tweed suits in his fall Chanel collection—which proves that matching your nail polish to your clothes is a cool new way to pick a polish color this fall.
The Lazy Girl's Guide to Getting Leighton Meester's Sexy HairThis season, Leighton Meester's Gossip Girl character, Blair Waldorf, went from being a Park Avenue princess to a downtown girl living in an NYU dorm, so it didn't surprise me that Meester went for a more relaxed-looking 'do in real life, too. Last week she turned up at the Louis Vuitton fashion show with a hip new hairstyle, one that was a little less shiny and more lived-in-looking than the styles she normally wears. And since Meester is such a trendsetter—remember this is the girl responsible for the whole headband phenomenon—this is a look that'll probably catch on. "My prediction is we will see a lot more matte finish for hair in the upcoming season," runway stylist Pearson Knight told me. It'd go perfectly with the new matte nail trend, don't you think? Plus, you don't have to try very hard to get it—just a good night's sleep (that makes your locks all bedhead-y) and skip your daily shampoo and conditioner routine. Instead, add a little bit of dry shampoo like Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo to soak up any second-day grease or shine and add a few soft curls with a curling iron for a slightly bouncy look like Meester's, suggests Knight. To make it seem a teensy bit dressy, add some shine somewhere else, like on your lips or cheeks, or even by wearing a satiny blouse. The key to this low-key look is to mix up your casual hairstyle with something a little dressy—just think WWBWD (What Would Blair Waldorf Do?).
Try This Easy Eye-Depuffing TrickI ran into Whitney Port's makeup artist, Tina Turnbow, recently and she told me why the star of The City always looks so fresh-faced and awake despite a busy work/party-hopping schedule. "I turned her on to refrigerating her Fresh Lotus Eye Gel. The cold makes it extra effective," says Turnbow. Plus, it feels amazing when you slather it on! You can try this tip with any eye cream, or just use two of the key ingredients in the Fresh Lotus Eye Gel: cucumber and green tea. Simply place a few fresh cucumber slices or chilled green tea bags on your eyes as a mini mask. And here's one last wide-eyed beauty tip: Turnbow told me that Port is also obsessed with Fresh Super Nova Mascara.
How to Solve the "This Doesn't Look Like I Thought It Would" Lipstick Buyer's RemorseYou know when you put on a new shade of lipstick only to find it looks completely different on your mouth than in the tube? Totally frustrating, right? Well here's how actress Keke Palmer's makeup artist, Autumn Moultrie, pulled off the true-to-shade deep burgundy on Palmer. She actually put foundation right over her lips before applying any lipstick. Sure, it blocks out all your natural lip color, but that's exactly the point: When you then slick your new hue on top of the foundation, you get the real shade itself, not the diluted or altered version that comes when a lipstick color blends in a little too much. Love that highly pigmented shade Palmer is wearing? It's Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip Colour in Hysteria, and CoverGirl makes a similar hue called Bistro Burgundy Cream.
How Much Mousse You Really Need to Create Va-Va-Voom CurlsI loved the classic curls that actress Olivia Wilde has been sporting recently. Turns out the secret to her 'do is some major, major mousse. Her stylist, Matthew Monzon, used Kérastase Nutritive Mousse Nutri-Sculp—and a lot of it. He recommends a dollop the size of an orange, if you can believe it! After smoothing the mousse onto Wilde's wet hair, Monzon combed through her strands from roots to ends, then blew it dry using a 1 1/2-inch boar-bristle round brush, starting from the front and working his way to the back. Once hair was dry, he rolled 3-inch sections onto large Velcro rollers. He let the hair cool for about 15 minutes and took out the rollers. To give the curls the right amount of tousle, Monzon ran his fingers through it, then spritzed on a tiny bit of hairspray. If you don't have a bottle of mousse in your beauty arsenal already, grab the Kérastase or another version that I love, David Babaii's Amplifying Whipped Mousse.
A Sexy Halloween Makeup Idea (Courtesy of Blake Lively!)We've seen a lot of old-Hollywood hair and makeup looks recently, but no one makes retro beauty look as fresh and modern as Blake Lively. To make this Halloween a little more glam than usual, why not doll yourself up like Ms. Lively or just use her beauty tricks and be a '40s movie star? Start by parting your hair way to one side and then apply a shine-inducing product like Aveda's Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener. Blow-dry hair straight, then push all your hair over one shoulder to see how your locks hang in that picture-perfect pose. Then use a large-barrel curling iron to curl wide sections, with the iron barrel pointing vertically—this'll give you those big, springy curls that Lively often wears. Don't brush out the curl; just gently twirl pieces with your fingers to style and add a fine coat of flexible hairspray to keep curls in place. For makeup, apply a light gold shadow (like BareMinerals Glimmer Eyeshadow in True Gold) on the lids and wing out your black liner on the top lash line only—eyes will really pop if you leave the lower lids bare except for a little shimmer of golden shadow. Finish the look with lots of mascara and a shiny raspberry-color lipstick. Now all you need is a sexy vintage-looking bustier like Lively's and you'll be the belle of any Halloween ball.
A Kinda Crazy, Kinda Genius Place to Buy Your Beauty ToolsBackstage during New York Fashion Week, I polled a bunch of makeup artists and asked them to reveal any surprising purchases they've got stashed in their makeup bags. One of the answers that surprised me the most came from makeup artist Julie Harris, who works with celebs like Anne Hathaway, Madonna and Lindsay Lohan. Harris told me that she buys her makeup brushes at an art supply store, Pearl Paint! She's in love with a paintbrush that looks like a wooden toothbrush, which she uses to shape eyebrows and blend in brow liner. Check out your local art store for more makeup-brush inspiration—you'll find a slew of natural and synthetic brushes that look exactly like the ones you'd find at the makeup counter—for about half the price! And if you're not the arts and crafts type but still want to pay less for makeup brushes, check out these ecoTools that are sold at drugstores. I love 'em!
The Secret Behind Kate Hudson's New "New York Blond" Hair ColorMaybe it's her high-profile relationship with Yankees star Alex Rodriguez that made Kate Hudson ditch her sunny California blond hair color for a deeper, sexier honey hue. "We've let her roots go back to their natural color and skip the bold single processing," says Hudson's longtime colorist, Sharon Dorram, who recently tweaked Hudson's hair color at her Upper East Side salon. "The new shade is a more natural color, so you never notice roots as they grow out." A hair color trick that makes going blond a little more low-maintenance? Sounds good to me! If you're thinking about going all Hudson this fall, just ask your colorist to leave some of your natural color as lowlights while adding two shades of highlights: deep honey blond—to be added in all over the head—and lighter blond highlights just around the face. You'll be able to stretch out touch-up appointments a little longer; this look needs updating only every three or four months—talk about a beauty home run!
Evening Makeup Idea: The Celebrity Blush CocktailI've always been a fan of Hayden Panettiere's glowy cheeks. Luckily for me (and you!), I just got the lowdown on her look from Panettiere's makeup artist, Amy Oresman. Oresman told me that the trick to this perfect party look is a three-step layering process. First, she starts with pink cream blush for a subtle pop of color so that cheeks look like they have a rosy, natural flush. Next, Oresman dusts on some bronzer like Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blends Natural Radiance Bronzer to give a hint of color to Panettiere's face and neck. Then she adds a little shimmery powder blush like Neutrogena Healthy Skin Sheer Highlighting Blush in Pure to give cheeks a soft strawberry glow. The result is 100 percent gorgeous and totally affordable; you can get all three blush products for less than $20 bucks—leaving you plenty of dough to buy you and your girlfriends a round of drinks on a big night out.
How Celebs Fix Their Makeup Without Starting OverI don't know about you, but around 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the makeup I applied in the morning starts looking a little lackluster. Because reapplying a whole beauty look in the office bathroom isn't always that fun, I love this handy beauty tip I got from 90210 actress Jessica Lowndes' makeup artist, Stevi Christine: Christine suggests carrying a travel-size spray can of Evian Facial Water Spray in your purse. When your makeup starts to look dried out and cakey, hold the bottle about 10 inches from your face and gently spritz some H2O all over your makeup. The micro-fine hydration will moisten your makeup again so that it looks fresh—that way, you won't have to wipe it all off and start from scratch. Got the greasies? Christine tells celeb clients with oily skin to carry Shiseido Pureness Oil-Control Blotting Papers. And if you really want to make your makeup to stay put on long days (or nights!), Christine suggests using Laura Mercier Foundation Primer (it comes in oily, normal and dry skin versions) after cleansing skin but before you apply your foundation.
Celeb Hair Alert: Did Megan Fox Chop Off Her Hair?OK, let's end the suspense: No, Megan Fox did not cut her gorgeous hair—she's just one of many celebs who are getting good at faking their bobs. (It sounds dirty, but it's not—I swear!) I got the lowdown on how to do a faux bob from Fox's stylist, Renato Campora: "First, I applied Frederic Fekkai Coiff Strong Hold Volume Mousse all over Megan's wet hair. Next, I blew her hair dry using a round brush to give it a smooth finish allover. Then I parted her hair on the side and used a 1 1/2-inch curling iron to create large, soft waves just on the front sections of her hair. I then divided the uncurled hair into two sections and put a rubber band around each, about five inches away from the scalp." Campora then rolled both sections of hair underneath themselves, securing them with bobby pins at the nape of her neck. Finally, he pinned back the front waves to the side parts of her hair (the sections that were curled under) and added a tiny amount of Frederic Fekkai Advance Glossing Creme on the front waves to make them super shiny. And to further Fox-ify your look, slick some Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip Color in Darling on your lips—just like she did!
Makeup Secrets From the Set of Gossip GirlActress Taylor Momsen's character, Jenny, on Gossip Girl usually goes for pretty/edgy makeup, but you don't have to be a teen or trendsetter to pull off the new look she's been wearing. In a few of the most recent episodes, Momsen's been spotted wearing a slightly sweeter and warmer version of the no-makeup makeup look. Amy Tagliomonti, Gossip Girl's makeup artist, e-mailed me the list of ingredients she used for Little J's peaches-and-cream beauty look: "I applied Make Up For Ever HD Foundation (#140 and #115 mixed together), Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer in Ultra Light, Tarte Blush and Chanel Quadra Beiges De Chanel eyeshadow. Her mascara is Lancôme L'Extreme, and she's wearing Chanel Glossimer 118 on her lips." The last product is the most important: While Momsen's face is glowy and natural, her shiny gloss makes her look polished—a good trick for those of you who like to go light on the makeup to keep in mind. CoverGirl's Wetslicks will do the trick too!
The Beautiful New Brunette Who Has Everyone BuzzingNot since Audrey Tautou broke onto the scene has a cute, pixie-ish haircut caused so much buzz! If you haven't heard about Carey Mulligan—star of the coming-of-age movie An Education—here's what you need to know: She's a super-talented actress, and she's about to be a trendsetting brunette. I recently ran into Doug Macintosh, the colorist extraordinaire who dyed Mulligan's hair for her next film, Oliver Stone's Wall Street 2. The Manhattan-based Macintosh said he warmed up Mulligan's sleek pixie cut with a trendy and sophisticated dark auburn hue, then gave her honey-color highlights. Macintosh described Mulligan's versatile new color and cut as looking "like she works on Wall Street but could be hanging out on the Lower East Side." In other words, professional and trendy, which is a hard combination to put together, but Mulligan pulls it off beautifully—and I bet that with Macintosh's hair-color tips, so could you.
A Cute and Sexy Halloween Makeup IdeaIf you've been following our big Halloween costume debate over on The Girls in the Beauty Department, you know that most of us fall into one of two costume camps: We go either super-cute or hella-sexy. But I've got a costume idea that will work on both sides of the style divide: Barbie! There was a ton of Barbie beauty inspiration on the fall runways this season since Babs celebrated the 5-0 this year—and to think, thanks to the plastic skin, faux hair and saucer-size eyes of hers, she doesn't look a day over 21! To DIY Barbie's signature über-feminine beauty look—the kind Paris Hilton always seems to be sporting—celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman suggests starting with your eyes. "Dust silver shadow over the whole lid from lashes to brows and add an extra dab to the inner corners, right by the tear duct. Add a sweep of a purple-gray shadow to the crease of the eyelid, then use a felt-tip eyeliner and lightly dot on the lid, staying as close as possible to the lash line. Go back over the lid once more, and this time, press the felt tip firmly onto the skin to 'connect the dots,' fanning the line up and out toward the temples on the ends." Finish off your pastel eye makeup look with bright pink cheeks and lips. Slip on a tight bubblegum-pink minidress and your night of trick-or-treating will be extra sweet.
Kim Kardashian's New Lipstick ObsessionSince we're all a little obsessed with Kim Kardashian's gorgeous hair and makeup, I just had to share one of her sexy-fying secrets with you. Kardashian was recently spotted swiping on Fusion Beauty LipFusion Micro Injected Collagen Color Shine in Big & Bare, a neutral pink glossy lip-plumping product. Not only does the gloss make lips look fab and kissable, it also supports a great cause: From now until February, $1 from the sale of each tube will go to the Seven Bar Foundation, an organization that helps women in poverty get back on their feet. Now that's something to get obsessed about!

• Registered for a footrace because you watched "Are we Born to Run?"
Etc etc etc. Can you think of any specific actions you've taken that were directly related to watching a TEDTalk? Please share!

Jun 19 2012: As a result of seeing a TED talk by an economics professor about "Why you will never achieve your dreams," I really woke up. I saw it about 4 months ago. I regret that I can't remember the gentleman's name or the talk title because I believe everyone, and I mean everyone, should see it.
- +3
As a result, while keeping my day job, I'm opening up a microbrewery. I've dreamed of doing that for nearly 15 years. I'm moving in circles in the industry, making connections and getting direction for doing original scientific research in the field, as well, in preparation for applying to a masters or Ph.D program in anthropology studying mankind's relationship to fermentation.
I've had a few things happen over the last 4 years, single events, which radically changed my life. Seeing this TED talk built upon all the things that I've been cultivating since my first wake up moment when I realized I had some form of massive depressive disorder that had to be treated if I ever wanted to do anything in life.
Other TED talks have led me to act, but none so significantly as that one.Jun 19 2012: Seconds after I finished watching Stefan Sagmeister's talk on "The Power of Time Off" (where he explained the creative benefits of shutting down his studio every 7 years and taking a year off from work), I instantly started crunching numbers. Looked at my savings. I figured out how much I would need to save, and for how long, so that I could afford to take a year off myself.
16 months ago I quit my job. My first personal creative project I started during my year off became the subject of a TED talk I gave during the first ever auditions here in NYC last year. And this past March, exactly as my year off came to a close, I gave a TED talk about that project at TED2012 in Long Beach, CA.
Stefan Sagmeister's TED talk has profoundly changed my life. But so have many other talks... but each one is a different story :)
Jun 19 2012: Wow Cesar, that's such an inspiring story! So glad you decided to take the leap.
Aja B.
Jun 19 2012: Wow, these stories are incredible to read! Please keep them coming. And is anyone else noticing an "I quit my job because of a TEDTalk" trend? Life-changing, indeed! :)

Quiet One
Jun 19 2012: I was totally blown away by Brené Brown's talk on vulnerability. As a counsellor, I was amazed at how she managed to reduce such complex issues such as shame, vulnerability and connection into a message that was so simple and profound. After watching both her videos I enrolled on her 'Ordinary Courage' e-course and have just begun a blog to further explore the idea of connection and potential barriers to it. I have recommended her TED talks to countless people, and everyone has commented on how the key message touched on some aspect of their life.

Jun 21 2012: Hi Quiet One
I am a filmmaker and was also was very touched by Brene and am doing some research into a documentry on how a TED talk that goes viral really changes peoples lives. I am interested in hearing more about how Brene's talk influenced/ changed your life
Jun 21 2012: Hi Kath, if you have specific questions post them and I'll do my best!

Jun 19 2012: after i've heard (Matt Cutts: Try something new for 30 days) i've decided to watch two TED videos everyday for 30 days, and share them smartly...
- +2
smartly, meaning that i had to look for a context for each talk, and i'd share them with specific people whom i thought would be affected by the talk, and take feedback for how well they fit in that context.
well, u can guess that watching the overall 60 talks did lots of things to me, but the side effects that i see now on the community i've been sharing with...is inspiring to me.
Ajay Appaden
Jun 19 2012: Ive done a lot of things in response to a number of TED vids, TED has in essence become the part of my life that the rest of it gravitates around. I joined Kiva in response to Jessica Jackley's talk but unfortunately couldnt make enough to give a loan but found a local version of kiva here in India called Milaap and gave my first loan on my birthday. I purchased a clay nonstick frying pan after watching Anil Gupta's talk on the hotbeds of innovation. I am currently working on a prototype of a vertical axis wind turbine for domestic power generation after watching a whole bunch of talks and piecing stuff together. I started being more loud about things I considered right and started fighting for basic human rights for everyone after watching a whole lot of vids including Richard Dawkins'.
- +2
I owe the way I live my life now and the development I hope to bring about in the near future to TED. My next wish is to actually attend a conference in person which I havent been able to do yet unfortunately, but hope to soon.Jun 19 2012: Yeah!
I quit my Job!
... and decided to strike it out on my own to develop a Hans Rosling/Gapminder inspired healthcare performance measurement, management and accountability decision support system. Thanks to TED I've already received awards and accolades for my work (and much higher personal life satisfaction!).
Then, after Tim Berners-Lee's call for OpenData, I started finding, integrating and including as many opendata sets as I could scrape together into a data visualization tool and making them freely available to everyone to assist in evidence-based decision-making: Check it out at http://opendata.datatechsoln.com
TED changed my life and providence willing will eventually lead to improvements in equitable access to health care services, healthcare performance and the general health, welfare and satisfaction of my fellow citizens.
Bart Gryp
Jun 19 2012: I guess for me the most significant impact TED's had on my life would be in running. Not that I'm a particularly apt or even vigorous runner: I'm a minimalist runner, and not great at it perhaps, but most definitely convinced it's the right way to go. All thanks to Chris McDougall's TED-talk about Born To Run. Sure, the book can get a bit haleluja at times,n and the hype's been completely out of wack of late, but then that's what happens to good ideas: they take flight. And sure, I'm guilty as charged: I too bought the expensive birthdayshoes from Vibram (I mean, you gotta wear something where I'm from, or you'll end up with badly lacerated feet). But in the end I guess all that matters is TED's talks are meant to inspire. And they did, and continue to do so. So thanks, and keep at it. Keep challenging convention, keep moving forward, do not let such a thing as compromise force you into a corner.Jun 19 2012: Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's "A Stroke of Insight" began a process that, for the first time in my life, allowed me to have a moment of clarity and peace about the eventuality of death and the interconnectivity of life. It also changed the direction of my life's work. As a result, I published the following article which has received critical acclaim from the likes of Douglas Rushkoff, Noam Chomsky, Gary Snyder, Dr. Amit Goswami, Bill McKibben and Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor herself. It is been a real joy to interact with my intellectual, spiritual and cultural heroes. And TED made this all possible. Please continue to inspire us all to become inspirational ourselves. Together we will change the world.

http://www.realitysandwich.com/goddess_we_trust_americas_spiritual_crossroadsJun 19 2012: The biggest action I have taken was not immediate, but has been lasting. I now assign TED talks in all of my classes. I challenge students to start with one (I usually suggest Jill Bolte Taylor's 'Stroke of Insight,') and then to watch one a week in subjects they pick at random. Inspired by the TED talk on discipline cross-pollination, I suggest they watch them in subjects that have nothing to do with their own work or main interests as well. Many a student has told me it's changed their life. One started his daughter on them and she now downloads them regularly for her iPod. I think it may end up being one of the things I do as an adjunct college professor that stays with students the longest.

Jun 19 2012: I became a weekday vegetarian ^_^

I have also been working on reducing the amount of "stuff" I have and how I use my space after watching "less stuff, more happiness" also by Graham Hill
Jun 19 2012: Both good talks. And I did these, too. I've even caused a few others to try out the Weekday Vegetarian concept.

Jun 19 2012: I can think of several actions I have taken in response to TED talks but will list here only the first that come to mind. Several times I have purchased the person's book or printed out an article to understand more deeply the work the speaker presented in overview in his TED talk. For example, I printed out and read Yochai Benkler's article called Coase's Penguin. I visited Martin Seligman's Positive Psychology site and shared some of his ideas with the readers of my blog. I bought a book to which Stefan Stegmeister (I probably got the name a bit wrong here) contributed.

I was impressed with the presentations given by two different people from IDEO, visited their website, and have since participated in challenges as part of OpenIDEO.
Steve C
Jul 2 2012: After watching Brené Brown, I am thinking much more about my "borders." I think it helps a lot. It think it "works" in my life subtly. I think it will become less-subtle as time goes on, and I get stronger.

After watching Aaron Huey's "America's native prisoners of war," I keep thinking of the word, "washichu," and if I'm being covetous. I'm thinking about inviting some Indians to Thanksgiving!
After watching Ron Eglash on African fractals, I find myself on strangers' rooftops talking about mathematics.

- +1
Jun 27 2012: Hi Thomas, that sounds fantastic! Is your whiteboard designed to work with the OLPC laptop, or is it a standalone device?
Jun 28 2012: So far it is a standalone device that utilises the Raspberry Pi computer in order that it can all run on the same power format. It's very much a proto-type at the moment and part of a wider education project that i am working on that aims to get teachers more involved with hands of educational problem solving.

Jun 22 2012: I thought of another one last night: I've been setting aside "screen-free" time at home since watching Sherry Turkle's "Connected, but Alone?". I'm such a habitual email-checker, I find it's difficult to go even 2 hours without pulling out my phone. Her talk helped me clarify how important it is to make some device-free time in our lives, and I find it easier to remember to do it now. Well, not RIGHT now. ;)Jun 21 2012: After I watched a TED talk about the joy and power of technology, I realized that my desire to demonstrate that America is NOT the divided country the politicians say we are, and my desire to energize Americans to work together, can be accomplished by a simple technology.
- +1
I created a poll, the First Ever Spontaneous Self-Poll by the Entire American People, and if you're willing to get involved, take the poll (5 simple questions, about thirty seconds here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DMBX7B2. Then share it with others! Let's try to poll every American!

Jun 20 2012: I got out of my car and onto my bike to convert as much of the fossil fuel energy I was consuming into exercise after Allen Lim's "Life With Bikes" talk at TEDxMileHighJun 20 2012: After seeing one of Daniel Gilbert's talks I was inspired to make an app called Happiness. http://goodtohear.co.uk/happiness

I will use this module to begin my year and have students really think about where they are and where they are going on the life long quest for growth and knowledge.Jun 20 2012: TED showed me I was not alone.

Reggie Watts reminded me of joy
Temple Grandin showed me that we are all alike
Sarah Kay put the poet back in me
JR astounded me
Isaac Mizrahi is in my head
Jacqueline Novogratz reawakened the need to be 100%
I am not alone.Jun 19 2012: One TED talk has changed my life. After watching Kiran Bir Sethi's talk (TEDIndia) and falling in love with the idea, I decided to make it happen in my country (Brasil). I then contacted her, quit my job and started. I'm learning soooo much that I can't even begin to describe. So, exactly one year ago, that one TED talk changed everything for me - and for much better! :-)Jun 19 2012: I became inspired to create a TED account and present my ideas to receive constructive criticism to better my ideas and learn from the many other geniuses on this website. I was inspired to better my knowledge of the world and get new ideas by the means of TED.com. This only after my first time watching TED on the science channel. Now I'm addicted to this website. Facebook is just Facebook to other kids, but TED is my Facebook.Jun 19 2012: Honestly? I got involved with Project Chanology right when it got off the ground. I brought a lot of information to enturbulation.org (where I was a moderator), on history, philosophy and psychology, and many of the narratives I wove were completely ripped off from TED Talks. I was quickly recruited into #Marblecake, and we sorta 'social engineered' the rise of Anonymous. Mind you, I don't know the first thing about hacking.
moot talks about it a bit in his TED Talk.
An' there's another talk on here 'bout "Hire the Hackers". I think it talks about Anonymous (and possibly #marblecake) as well, but it moves into real 'cyber-criminals.' As opposed to just folk that are good with computers and don't buy the bullshit about intellectual property laws and government secrets (in a democracy??). Folk that just imagine themselves the latest incarnation of the fourth estate. That weird ideology 'voluntarism', manifested in libertarians and socialists alike. The synthesis of 'individualism' and 'collectivism.'
Hell, my own words got quoted in a New York Times front page article in Dec of 2010. It was the article about the DDoS attacks on Visa, Paypal, and Mastercard. I had nothing to do with it - like I said, I don't know shit about hacking. Just social engineering. I can source this.
And Marblecake kept on, and played a significant role in sparking the revolution in Cairo. They were involved to some degree in Tunisia. Mind you, they didn't 'start' it, and by no means did they do (anywhere NEAR) most of the work. But they played a not-insignificant role. There's an article from The Atlantic that talks about the Flyer that Marblecake composed (using a lot of what we learned in #Chanology), they found someone in Cairo via Wael Ghonim's facebook page, that person translated it, and it was distributed throughout the city (clandestine, like a sort of underground newspaper). I wasn't involved in that project.Jun 19 2012: After watching Shawn Anchor's "The happy secret to better work", I got my A-level Economics students to keep a diary of things they were grateful for each day. They loved it and I definitely noticed them being more positive about their work.Also, after Michael Norton's "How to buy happiness", my year 7 form and I donated to a classroom project through DonorsChoose.org. Keep the inspirational videos coming!
Jun 21 2012: The attitude of gratitude trumps all.

Jun 19 2012: Off the top of my head, I can definitely claim some of the actions from my list...
- +1
• I did buy and read one of Alain de Botton's books because of his talk, and I've been finding ways to incorporate more tradition and scheduled inspiration in my everyday life.
• Bought tickets to Jake Shimibukuro and Andrew Bird because of their amazing TED performances.
• I use David Blayne's tricks for holding your breath when I'm at the pool.
• I bought a pair of those barefoot shoes because of Christopher McDougall, and it's because of Brene Brown that I'm willing to admit it. ;)
I need to go back through the TEDTalks archive and jog my memory! :)Jul 2 2012: Ted talk allows for intelligent people(some of them) to state their views, reasons why, and read the views of others. This is what I have accomplished.Jun 27 2012: Is anyone finding themselves inspired to build their own electronic device after watching today's Talk from TEDGlobal? I actually took a class in basic Arduino programming a few years ago, and I'm thinking it's time to dust mine off and make something new with it! :)
http://www.ted.com/talks/massimo_banzi_how_arduino_is_open_sourcing_imagination.htmlJun 23 2012: I am very interested to find out how Brenes' talk affected you. What did you do after watching her talk. What was the step by step things you did. Do you workk with clients now in a different way. Do you live your live in a different way etc
Your help with this is Much appreciated
KathJun 21 2012: A really good topic Aja
This was the first video I watched on TED : http://www.ted.com/talks/pranav_mistry_the_thrilling_potential_of_sixthsense_technology.html ..
Ever since I was following many interesting talks on TED , all speakers had one thing in common passion and happiness in what they are doing .
I have submitted a couple of ideas to TED and I am contributing regularly to as many TED conversations as possible , voicing my opinions and connecting with people on TED . Reading more self help books and other short stories ,following my passion for music, psychology , philosophy etc . My enthusiasm is just increasing everyday as I watch a talk everyday .

Jun 21 2012: I took a sabbatical and started a blog where every week I watched a TED Talk, summarized its conclusion and applied then as rules for my life. http://tedrules.wordpress.com/Jun 20 2012: Some responses to our Facebook post about this:

• Bought the book "Quiet"
• Started whistling (what Talk is this from? I should know this....)
• Bonded with other like-minded people over watching TEDTalks together

• Visited and supported The Writing Center in SF after watching David Eggers

• Tie shoe laces differently
• Started a company
• Started running a community garden and other community volunteer work because of Rob Hopkins' Peak Oil talk
• Lots more paper towels, shoelaces, and book buying/reading! :)Jun 20 2012: After watching many Ted talks (and much more I expect to watch) the more important thing I've achieved is the strong conviction of there are many people all over the world thinking in positive, doing it well, worrying about the others, etc. It's really nice to feel that. Thanks and let's going on!Jun 19 2012: Looking forward to purchasing a copy of A.J. Jacobs: A Year of Living Biblically, then reading it. =)Jun 19 2012: yeah I've been up to that too, preaching the word to the meaties out there :p

When Lydia Zotto, a 24-year-old virtuoso from Troy, volunteers at Albany Med, young patients and their parents sit spellbound by the music she creates with her six-foot-tall golden harp. What they may not realize is that Zotto, too, has been touched by Albany Med, the place she was born and, at age 17, the place she nearly died.
"I was in my fifth year at Juilliard Pre-College and was auditioning all over the country for conservatory when I got very sick," the harpist recalled. "It ended up I had encephalitis caused by mono."
Encephalitis is an acute swelling of the brain. In Zotto's case, the swelling ate away at the nerve coating between the two halves of her brain, temporarily paralyzing her on one side. Because of the damage the disease did to her brain, she has no recollection of her stay at Albany Med. She said she only knows the treatment, along with the love and support she received, saved her life.
Now fully recovered, Zotto, a graduate of the prestigious Eastman School of Music, also has an MBA in Health Care Administration from Union Graduate College. She said her first-hand understanding of the therapeutic benefits of music has her focused on a career as a doctor.
"I was thinking ENT (ear, nose and throat) because you can give people hearing back or help them sing again," she said.
On one afternoon as the soothing sound she creates envelops a pediatric clinic at Albany Med, a sense of calm and happiness permeates the room.
"It makes me so happy to play here," Zotto said, flashing a huge smile. "It's completely fulfilling."
Her music is her special gift, given to help those at a place that twice gave her life.

Dresses — doy — they go on your body. Let's get that out there before we go any further, and acknowledge that, yes, literally speaking, there's really only one way to wear a dress. But, thinking in such sweeping, conversation-ending terms just sucks the air out of the proverbial room. If you speak our language, you can use the same dress to say completely different things — it's all about mixing up your styling.
Whether it's "I'm game for anything today," or "I'm not like everyone you meet," these throw-on pieces can say all kinds of things. And, if you're a chronic dress-wearer, you probably already own a number of the five dresses that follow. You just haven't been putting 'em together like this. Skip the weekend shopping trip and get ready for your same old dresses to speak volumes, starting with: "I'm a master of recycling."
