The KPMG China CSR Report illustrates the interconnectedness of social and environmental issues and the business world, and explores how companies can lead change by integrating these issues into their strategies and operations.
Chinese new energy companies are "going out" to expand their presence in the global market. By investing overseas, these companies are expected to develop new energy portfolios in new markets, avoid trade barriers and transfer overcapacity.
This publication will help you to understand the best option for your business when transitioning to the new revenue standard.
Shanghai, 6 May 2008
KPMG is pleased to host the 2008 China Global Conference on 7-8 May in Shanghai. The two-day conference will include a range of presentations, panel discussions and breakout sessions to help participants learn about in-bound and out-bound business opportunities in China.
With an annual GDP growth of at least 8 percent since 2000, China is presenting enormous business opportunities to foreign investors. At the same time, Chinese companies are also growing at an unparalleled pace, taking advantage of the economic reform and opening up of China since 1978. Many domestic companies have built their presence in international markets, while the others are also ready to explore business opportunities overseas.
"This is the second time we are hosting the China Global Conference and we wish to make it a platform for the business community to discuss key issues and opportunities for Chinese companies going overseas," said Nelson Fung, Head of China Global and Managing Partner, KPMG in Shanghai. "As one of the leading professional services firms, we would also like to share with participants our expertise and first-hand experience of helping companies in China."
This event will include speakers from KPMG, the government authority, financial institutions, the manufacturing and energy sectors, technology and software companies and media organisations. Over 150 senior executives will participate in the conference.
During the conference we will cover a great variety of topics, such as structural trends in China's economy, China's experience in global market, consumer markets in China, as well as global investment environment and opportunities.
KPMG launched the first China Global Conference in 2006.

Shameless headline attention grab aside, CM Punk will be featured in WWE 2K15's "2K Showcase" mode, which highlights the "significant historical feuds" of Shawn Michaels v. Triple H and John Cena v. Punk.
LOLs at Punk being prominently featured in the game despite no longer being with the company notwithstanding, this sort of thing is what happens when production cycles begin months ahead of when a game releases. There really is nothing that can be done about it at this juncture and it's happened before when wrestlers get future endeavored or leave for TNA. Obviously those situations aren't as notable, but the minions still chanting "CM Punk" at every turn will at least get to see their savior back in a WWE ring this October, albeit a virtual one.

How Did O' Brien's Bridge Get Its Name?
O' Brien's Bridge is situated on the Lower Shannon River, and takes its name after the bridge crossing the river at this point.
The first bridge was built in 1506 by Turlough O'Brien, First Earl of Thomond, who possessed a manor at the end of the bridge at the Clare side, and by his brother, the Bishop of Killaloe. They were descendants of Brian Boru, who was killed at the battle of Clontarf in 1014.
The first bridge was a wooden structure. During the war between the provincial kings, each trying to become high king, Gearoid Mor, the great Earl of Kildare, burnt down the bridge in 1510.
The O'Briens now realized the weakness of undefended wooden bridges and replaced the structure with a "Great Bridge".
Castles of Marble were built on each side of the bridge with walls 12 ft. thick and well defended. Each was built in the water a short distance from the land and was connected by a massive wooden bridge of seven arches and a height of 15 ft. above the water.
In 1537 Conor O'Brien and his brother Murrogh, sons of Thurlough, who owned land at both the Clare and Limerick side of O'Brien's Bridge sided with Silken Thomas in his rebellion against Henry VIII and the Lord Deputy, Leonard Gray, who made an attack on the bridge. The battle lasted for several days ending with the destruction of the "Great Bridge". A stone bridge with twelve arches then replaced the bridge.
The bridge, having been built by the O' Briens, became known as O'Brien's Bridge, and gradually the village and eventually the town land assumed the name.
The old name for the place was Ath Caille Gallaigh, "The Rough Ford of the Wood", which was one of the three principal fords of Ireland together with Ath Cliath (Dublin) and Ath Luain (Athlone)
However, the 16th century bridge was in turn replaced or rebuilt c1750. The five arches on the West side of the bridge date from this period.
The six arches on the East side were replaced by the Shannon Commissioners in 1842. The first arch on the West side was replaced by the present navigation arch when the Shannon Scheme was built downstream in 1925-29.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading.
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such great information being shared freely out there.
I've read some good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting.
I hope you will keep updating your content constantly as you have one dedicated reader here.
My great granny emigrated to Australia from O'Briensbridge in the 1860′s.
Is there a local history society which could help to trace family ?

George Bowers Sr.: Winter games bring families together
By George Bowers Sr.
Whenever we hear of Winter Games, we generally think of skiing, snowboarding, figure skating and all the other events of the Olympic Games, which will be held this month in Sochi. And while I really enjoy these events, I also enjoy some other types of winter games even more: board and table games.
Since outdoor activity is often curtailed during the winter by temperature and darkness, it's a great time to pull out Monopoly, Dominos or Pictionary and go at it. These timeless classics encourage interaction and conversation while providing plenty of much needed laughter along the way. I dare say most all of us have some favorite family memories around some of these winter games.
In addition to several enduring favorites, someone is constantly developing new games to entertain and engage, and except for the initial low cost and the accompanying snacks (an absolute must), these types of games are virtually free.
You don't need cable or Internet service, or even electricity for most any of these!
Games encourage families to spend time interacting with each other while also developing strategies and thought processes. This is good mental activity for youngsters as well as adults, and also promotes connections between the generations.
Games are so much more beneficial than just watching television, which requires little or no thought, interaction, processing, or engagement. In fact, much of the "entertainment" and media information is downright sinful and depressing.
Compare your emotions after an evening of television and after an evening of games (especially if you win). The most important thing, however, is not winning, but having a great time in the process and learning to know each other better.
Do something for yourself and for your family this month. Turn off the TV, pull out the winter games and enjoy the interactions.
In Jesus, George

Recent evidence suggests that one predicted consequence of global warming—reduced oxygen levels in parts of the world's oceans—is now happening. If the trend continues, the number of hypoxic areas, or dead zones, in the oceans may increase. In fact, although little is known about them, there are already permanent hypoxic zones along a number of continental margins; these are found in areas of upwelling where masses of phytoplankton decay as they sink, consuming oxygen in the water column and thereby starving the middle depths, where circulation is more sluggish. Levin and other ecologists find life here, but it is different: dense mats of large sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and worms mining loose soils rich in decayed organic material, surrounded by fringe areas full of shrimp, vertically migrating zooplankton and fish adapted to low-oxygen conditions. Paleontologists have reconstructed the environmental history of some of these regions, but we have only a sketchy understanding the adaptations that allow a few present-day marine animals to cope with permanent oxygen starvation.

Sharon Wichmann, Bremen Germany: The Plame affair has solidified the public's growing doubts about the administration's morals. By a 3-to-1 margin, according to a Washington Post poll, the public now believes that the level of ethics and honesty in the government has declined rather than risen under Mr. Bush. Do you really think that the public thinks? I devour your columns and rarely disagree, but the general public has a two-minute thought span and seems to be swayed rather dramatically by the least little bit of news. NOTHING HAS CHANGED: Bush and Company are what they were when they were elected and have not changed one iota. If people really recognize that, more power to them. I'll wait to see the polls of their opinions in another four weeks and see how consistent they remain.
Paul Krugman: I generally don't like blaming the people. Let's bear in mind that most people aren't and can't be careful news analysts: there are jobs to be done and children to be raised. Mostly they get their political information on the fly — from page 1 stories above the fold, or quick summaries on the news.
That's why the media have a special responsibility not to let people in power control the imagery. If mythology dominates the TV news, a page 19 story that, to a very careful reader, questions the spin is pretty much useless.
If Bush does make a comeback, it will be because the media are, once again, complicit in joining the sales job. I'm just guessing it won't happen.
Orrin Schwab, Aurora, Ill.: I certainly agree that a great deal of ineptitude and some deceit has characterized the Bush White House. However,
I must disagree that the administration has accomplished nothing.
1. The invasion of Afghanistan was successful. The key was relying on U.S. Special Forces and quickly internationalizing the invasion and occupation.
2. The U.S.-Libya agreement to have Libya abandon nuclear weapons and terrorism was a major achievement. Especially since Libya was close to developing a nuclear weapon.
3. The transition in Israeli-Palestinian relationships has been a genuine achievement. The full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza was a clear victory for Bush and Blair.
4. Syria's withdrawal from Lebanon was an achievement.
5. The nuclear disarmament agreement with North Korea was a major success. After a failed Korean policy in his first term, a new diplomatic team produced this victory.
6. Relations with China and Russia are now good. Condoleezza Rice has proven to be a very effective diplomat.
7. Iraq is a mess, but so was the American South in the 1860's. Bush deserves credit for destroying a very heinous and potentially dangerous regime.
Paul Krugman: Not mostly my area, but here's what I understand:
1. The capture of Kabul was well done. But the victory was squandered; Osama got away at Tora Bora, and Afghanistan is still on the boil.
2. Libya was nowhere close to a bomb. My understanding is that a deal along the lines we concluded had been on offer from Libya for a long time, but the Bush administration refused to take it until they needed something to offset the bad news from Iraq.
3 & 4: Some good things have happened in the Israel-Lebanon area, but it's not at all clear whether U.S. policy played much role.
5. Again, we could have had a similar deal with North Korea five years ago — before they withdrew the fuel rods.
6. China and Russia are authoritarian regimes that make deals when they think it's in their interest. What, exactly, have we gotten from them?
7. I thought Iraq was Philadelphia in 1787 — or was it Germany in 1945 — or, um, some historical parallel (none of which involved a comparably bloody guerilla war) that obscures the fact that America's armed forces are being ground down, and its soldiers killed, in a war we didn't need to fight.
Marc Gersen, Berkeley, Calif.:While it may have been a nightmare for you to be a political Cassandra for a few years, don't forget that for those of us who were duped for so many years, it's a nightmare too. Once we woke up and joined the Order of the Shrill as late-comers, we had the embarrassment and shame of having acquiesced to the incredible damage this administration had been doing to our country.
But can you really claim to have been a Cassandra? Surely, even conditional on your expectations of the Bush administration, things have turned out much worse than imagined.
Paul Krugman: You're right that things have turned out even worse than I imagined. Here's a parallel: in the mid-1990's I made some modestly pessimistic predictions about Asia back when everyone else was wildly optimistic. When a terrible financial crisis struck, people said I had been proved right. My response was that I had been 90 percent wrong, it's just that everyone else had been 150 percent wrong. I think the same remark applies now.

In theory, beauty academies seem like a great idea: you offer up your hair or skin for educational purposes and in turn get services at bargain basement prices. But in reality, you're at the mercy of the teachers and what they want to demonstrate. No so at Dermalogica's recently opened Chelsea training center. The skincare brand is known for its exacting standards for both products and treatments, and their new Dermalogica Academy is an extension of that philosophy. All the students are undergoing the rigorous Dermalogica curriculum, which covers everything from bacteriology to chemistry, as well as lessons in the brand's microZone targeted skin treatments and Face Mapping skin analysis.
As part of their training, students also perform treatments on real people — which is great for you, since these treatments are incredibly affordable. They're all administered in a large communal room (sleek and chic) so you won't get spa-style pampering, but it's worth it for a completely customized facial for just $50. If you want a quick fix, the microZone treatments zero in on your particular skin woe (tired eyes, cracked lips, breakouts) and give you results in just 20 minutes. Or simply pop in for a Face Mapping session at the Skin Bar - their staff can examine your skin and help you pick products that will work for you. It doesn't get much better than this.
Oh how we love Nam Vo. She breezed into our office today, all bouncy hair and glowing skin, for a combination catch-up and technical help session (check out her new blog!). In return, she showed us her new obsessions: Kre-at False Lashes, which are incredibly high quality. She tested them out on me (lucky, I know!) and I was amazed at how natural they look. The difference, she says, is that the lashes are individual clusters that you carefully insert in between your lashes using tweezers. Applying false lashes this way looks more subtle than simply plopping on a band of false fringe because a real lashline is uneven anyway. "It's like a wig versus extensions," she says. Nam made it look incredibly easy, simply dipping each clump into a tiny bit of glue and then placing them on my lashline — in reality, it's a little trickier. I'll report back once I try it myself!
More of Nam's picks and tips soon!
We're giving away these adorable Rachel Nasvik mini bags to the first three people to spend $75 or more in full-size products!
At Birchbox, we're all about rewards. Refer friends and fill out surveys, earn points. Spend $50, get free shipping. Buy a year-long subscription, get a month gratis. (I've even been lobbying for a contest where the prize is a delivery of fresh-baked cookies.)
Now we're giving members extra incentive to trade up to full-size versions of their favorite samples. We've partnered with super cute designer Rachel Nasvik to give away three of her adorably mini handbags (in plum, naturally). We've been Nasvik fans for years, and love her stylish but practical bags. We're psyched to share her latest gem with three of our members. The giveaway begins today, October 20th, at 3 p.m. EST. What are you waiting for? Get shopping!
I associate the fragrance world with, in no particular order, handsome Frenchmen named Francois, fields of flowers, and department store staffers prowling the beauty floor with atomizers. But after chatting with scent world veteran Raymond Matts yesterday, I have a wider view of the industry. Matts has worked everywhere from IFF to Estee Lauder (where he developed Clinique's Happy), and recently left to start his own company designing fragrances and consulting. (He'll launch his own line in early 2011.). I was interviewing him for an upcoming story on choosing scents and learned fascinating tidbits, from common myths (that you bruise a scent when you rub your wrists together) to useful tips on the best way to test a scent. Stay tuned for more!
I've never been accused of being a minimalist — why pack one lipgloss when you could pack four? — so I tend to stay away from all-in-one kits. But I am completely smitten with Jouer's four-piece Weekender collection. The products are all interlocking (think Legos meets compacts) so that they click together in a tidy, easy-to-pack way. They've got everything covered: a trio of matte shadows in pretty neutrals; a versatile translucent powder and natural-looking bronzer; a creamy cheek tint and highlighter; and a warm copper gloss. At $58, it's a pretty amazing value. Throw it in your bag with some tinted moisturizer and mascara and you're set for a short trip. (Or, if you're me, it's handy for transitioning from the office 'hot mess' look to a more presentable nighttime look.)
You can't even tell Katia hasn't slept in weeks!
Our office is not quite the polished center of commerce and innovation that you would expect. There are a pink boxes and tissue strewn about, overturned boxes and open beauty products scattered on every surface, and a white board covered in business-y jargon. Not to mention the ginormous tree. After all, we're a startup. A startup that specializes in gorgeous boxes filled with bite-sized beauty products, but a startup nonetheless.
This is all to say that we don't have time to organize our office, and we don't have nearly enough time to take a step back and a) have fun with each other and b) have fun with our customers. Which is why last night's event, a pop-up shopping party thrown by Fashism and MyNines, was so good for us. Katia, Hayley, and I, along with our awesome intern Shaila, set up a table with our current October box, a bunch of our full-size products, and other Birchbox treats. We had a great time chatting up all the bloggers, editors, and startup peeps, and it was a good reminder of why we're doing this. Plus, we got to hang out in a non-office environment. We even got burgers afterward. Viva la startup!
Hayley and I decided it's only polaroid pics from now on.
Shaila shows off her Square reader in front of our Birchbox display. Not bad mechandising, eh?
Glycolic acid is one of the most powerful and most misused ingredients in the skincare world. An alpha-hydroxy acid, it dissolves the top layer of dead skin cells to give you clear, even, smooth skin. But use too much and you're destined for Ouchy Redville. A new skincare line, founded by dermatologist Craig Austin, aims to give you all the good glycolic benefits without any of the bad. Cane + Austin launched with two products, both of which use pharmaceutical-grade glycolic acid to give you the at-home equivalent of a trip to the dermatologist. The Retexturizing Treatment Pads has 10% glycolic acid, while the Acne Treatment pads combine a lower dose of glycolic acid and salicylic acid to exfoliate the skin and treat existing acne. Both products have vitamins A, C, and E, as well as anti-oxidents to help moisturize and repair skin. Because they come in pads, you aren't tempted to leave them on for longer (the way you would a mask) and it's harder to overdo it. They can be used every day, morning and night, but I found that a bit much. But even used every other day, they still make a huge difference - brighter, smoother skin. And much less expensive than a professional visit.
Katia glows. She is a newlywed after all (Greece, fairytale) but still. She's also the co-founder of a scrappy startup and running on a diet of coffee and dumplings. The girl should be haggard and droopy, not perky and peachy. What gives?
<— Glow
Besides good genes, she has a few secrets that everyone can use:
Clarisonic Mia: We got a sample Mia in the office a couple weeks ago and I selflessly let Katia try it first. (You can bet I am asking for it back asap.) She's been using it religiously, as has her husband, and swears it makes a huge difference. "It's incredibly gentle but it feels like it's gently dislodging anything gross on my face. I feel amazing."
Perricone MD Cold Plasma: Now Katia does not have wrinkles. She doesn't have particularly saggy or blotchy skin. But somehow Cold Plasma, Perricone's latest wonder cream, has turned her previously good skin into *amazing* skin. She's been using it since this summer and we've all seen the difference. At $150 a jar, the cream is a big investment but…she's glowing. (It should also be said that it smells, in Katia's words, "effective." Take that as you will.)
Masks: We have a saying around the office: Katia will try anything twice. (We're talking about beauty products, of course.) When it comes to masks this is extra true. She is a mask fanatic. She'll set her alarm ten minutes early so she can put a face mask on in the morning and she's been known to put a Face Shop Face Sheet on midday (ok, just that one time). Her current faves: Naturopathica's Pear Fig Enzyme Peel and Jurlique's Purifying Mask.
Obpliphica. We're in love with it and we can barely pronounce it. The tongue-twisty ingredient (also known by the more prosaic sounding Sea Buckthorn berry oil), is the star of Amika, a line of haircare products and styling tools. Obpliphica is native to Europe and Asia and has high concentrations of carotene, vitamin C, and Omega 3, 6, 9, and 7 — which means it's like superfood for your hair. The products also have natural ingredients like Argan oil and olive oil, which sleeken and protect without making strands greasy.
We received samples of the products and styling tools at the office this morning and, despite very lengthy to do lists, immediately set about testing them. The darling Go-Go travel kit, with giraffe printed mini straightener and dryer, is a no-brainer gift for your favorite jetsetter. The serum was an all-around winner, and works on both dry and wet hair (perfect for office!), and the shine spray made hair instantly glossier (just careful not to use too much).
Here's the mini giraffe dryer in action (it even matches my shoes!):
Judging by the number of you who sent us self portraits of yourselves in your masks, Birchbox members really love the Face Shop Mask Sheets they received in their September box. (In fact, we've already sold out and are currently restocking.) We love introducing you to fun products that you might never try otherwise. We also love that you are willing to give them a shot - even if they do (in this case) make you look like a serial killer?
I have a friend whose boyfriend makes her warmed milk when she can't sleep. When Jonathon Bunt's fiance started suffering from chronic sleeplessness, he went ahead and invented the cure. Now that's love. reBloom, Bunt's creation, is a liquid sleep aid that combines proven ingredients like valerian, melatonin, and chamomile.
I've used valerian and melatonin on their own but they've never been that effective for me (and Tylenol PM knocks me out but gives me a woozy hangover). I was skeptical that reBloom would work for me until I came back from Greece wretchedly jetlagged and downed a bottle of reBloom before bed. I was asleep before you could say 'Opa!' Now I keep a stash in my apartment for times when I'm anxious, jetlagged, or just plain restless. Just one bottle keeps me snug in REM cycle-land all night.
On Friday we had a great video shoot about retro makeup with Pamela Castillo, co-founder of Market Publique, at her Williamsburg showroom. The immensely talented Sokphalla Ban did makeup, and we had the dynamic duo of Greg Beauchamp and Eric Anderson manning the cameras. City Bakery pastries and coffee kept us going, and I even had time to rifle through the racks…scored a pair of silver 80s oxfords. Fun day!
Is that not the biggest tree ever?
Hi kids!
Apologies for the lack of substantive blog posts lately. We've been busy! We've moved offices and we're shipping our second box any day now. We have interns - two of them! We've gotten some media and blog love, with much more on the way, and we've partnered with great brands like SpaWeek for giveaways. Perhaps a status check is in order.
Birchbox, October 2010
Headcount: Six! We've gained two immensely talented interns (for lack of a better word), Patrick and Shaila, who are contributing their considerable web, tech, marketing, and consumer research skills.
Geography: Despite our love for Dropio and Dewey's Candy, we traded Dumbo for the screeching horns of Chelsea.
New digs: Our brand-new office has a ten-foot tall tree and several closets filled with beauty products. Our next door neighbors, Elephant Props, are pretty awesome.
Currently testing: Dermatologist-founded line, Cane + Austin; Clarisonic Mia (in pink, no less!); Bobbi Brown's brand-new Kohl eye liner.
Soundtrack: Cannot stop listening to Ellie Goulding, Britain's latest export.
Startups we heart: We recently partnered with Market Publique for an awesome retro makeup video; we have gotten great advice from the super-smart founders of Pact eco-conscious undies; and we are scheming to create custom Birchbox cookies with Baking for Good.
Milestones: We have enough customers that Hayley's arms are sore from pushups. Mollie has dipped her toes in the world of coding (or at least copy-pasting code). Katia is a deskside expert. Thanh has metrics!
Keep on keeping on…xoxo

Korean skincare company AmorePacific has long been an insider fave for their ultra-luxe creams and serums that combine science and tradition. This month's Birchbox Crush, Kim Phan, swears their Time Response Skin Renewal Cream works miracles on travel-wrecked skin. Now AmorePacific has brought their sister line, Sulwhasoo, to the United States.
If AmorePacific is the rigidly chic older sister, all tailored black dresses and Louboutins, then Sulwhasoo is the hippie gorgeous younger sister who teaches yoga and designs her own organic cotton fashions. The company's skincare philosophy is that there are yin and yang ingredients and for effective products, you have to balance both types. All their products are made from traditional Asian herbs and ingredients, such as Korean red ginseng, white lily, and Chinese lotus.
Don't let the herbal ingredients fool you — the serums and signature cream are just as pricey as the fanciest European tincture. But the products we've loved, namely the Cleansing Oil that breaks up makeup and leaves skin soft and the peel-off Skin Clarifying Mask, pack a huge punch for the price. Here's hoping they bring their famed facials to NY soon!
Need some extra incentive to sign up? Curious about what you're missing? Or are you a member just looking to relive the glory of your September Birchbox Discovery Moment? Look no further than our Birchbox.com shop, where you see the September box samples and stock up on full-size versions. October's treats are just around the corner!
A few snaps from our Fashion's Night Out Happy Hour at Bobo restaurant. Cheers!
I know I'm only supposed to wash my hair every other day. Every hair stylist I've gone to (not to mention Katia, Hayley, and Thanh) lecture me on the values of letting your hair generate its natural oils in between shampoos. But I just can't get on board with it - that is, unless I'm at the beach, in which case I'm happy to be a salt-crusted mermaid for days on end.
Despite my daily wash addiction, I love the look of second-day hair: piecey, slightly textured, and smooth. During my last hair cut, my fab stylist told me how I can get the dirty hair look without skipping suds: Jonathan's Dirt Texturizing Paste, a water-based product that you can work through damp or dry hair to give it that slightly lived in feel. Perfect for that messy updo that I've been meaning to try…
Yesterday, Hayley received a little surprise in the mail. It was a Birchbox from our beta trial, postmarked March 26, 2010. It only took six months for it to leave Cambridge, not find its intended recipient, and return itself to Manhattan. (Don't worry - we sent the poor Birchbox member a new box back in March!) Despite being a very (very) young company it was fun to compare our early efforts with our latest product - and we're sure there will be many iterations to come!
Some people remember playing with their grandmother's cold cream or spritzing their mother's Chanel No. 5. But my earliest product memories are of tingly peppermint Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap. We always packed an economy-sized bottle of the Dr. Bronner's when we went on overnight sailing trips or vacations because it was the ultimate do-it-all: shampoo, body wash, hand sudser, and more.
Recently, I discovered what might be my new vacation staple: Davine's Authentic Cleansing Nectar. Unlike Dr. Bronner's, which, truth be told, could be a little harsh, this wash has essential oils to moisturize. It left my hair slippery and shiny, and has a fresh, unisex scent. And, since it's a two-in-one, it qualifies as a practical - definitely a win-win purchase.
Fashion's Night Out is just an excuse to do two of our favorite things: drink delicious cocktails and look (buy) at pretty fashions. In honor of this year's festivities, we threw a happy hour party in Bobo's magical garden. Chef Patrick Connolly, a longtime FBB (Friend of Birchbox), created a menu of delicious snacks (mini mangalista ham and pickle sandwiches, oatmeal ice cream sandwiches) as well as our own special cocktail. We (ahem, I) requested nothing fruity or pink and Patrick came through with a boozy, sophisticated drink. Cheers!

8,000 feet of elevation is no joke. Obvi, but true. I was in Colorado this weekend for a wedding and in addition to wheezing up every set of stairs, I also got a serious case of high-altitude skin. Desiccated, flaky, wind-burned, and sensitive — not so pretty. Luckily, I had the chance to visit the lovely Allegria Spa at the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, where I landed in the exceedingly capable hands of esthetician Victoria Mastrogiovanni. Not only did the 11-year spa veteran revive my skin with a mix of SkinCeuticals and Epicuren hydrating products, she also gave me her high-altitude skincare secrets.
Brush, don't scrub: Instead of sloughing away dry skin, Mastrogiovanni uses a Clarisonic face brush to cleanse every other evening. She says it's much better at removing makeup and keeps skin fresh.
Layer on the moisture: Don't just slather on the thickest cream you can find. Mastrogiovanni says it's more effective to apply layers of hydration, even though "it's annoying because it's more steps." Our go-to choice? Caldrea's nourishing body lotion.The lightweight formula comes in three signature scents, while plant-based botanical increase elasticity and hydration.
Invest in a superhero gel: Hyaluronic gels boost your skincare products and helps the moisture bind with cells instead of sitting right on top of the skin.
Mastrogiovanni's routine: Cleanse skin with a Clarisonic brush every other night. Use a hydrating toner like SkinCeuticals Revitalizing Toner, followed by a nutritive serum like SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF and Hydrating B5 Gel. Finish with moisturizer with SPF.
This past weekend Hayley and Katia presented at New York City Startup Weekend. The event assembles budding entrepreneurs in one space and gives them the resources (and deadline) to come up with an idea for a company, flesh it out, and make it happen - all over the course of one weekend.
Birchbox teamed up with Market Publique, an innovative online marketplace for vintage clothing, for a presentation on Saturday. Hayley says, "It was the perfect pairing because of the similarities between the two companies: emphasis on design, curation and editing, plus the fact we both built products we would use ourselves."
In addition to the presentation, there was a Q&A where it was clear that the male audience members wanted their own Birchboxes (Manboxes?). One techie even stopped Hayley and Katia in the stairway to get skincare advice. (If you're curious boys, we especially love Peter Thomas Roth, Anthony Logistics, and Malin & Goetz.)
It was an exciting and inspiring experience. Katia walked away feeling like she had actually learned from the audience members' questions: "It is always great to hear the questions, even when you think you know the answers- helps put things in perspective."
Let's start with the bottle, shall we? Marc Jacobs Lola comes in a shapely vial that is topped by a twist of gold a riot of emerald, cobalt, violet, and red petals. It's excellent decoration for your vanity, and nearly as lovely as the scent itself. As with Marc Jacobs's previous scents, Lola is both playful and sophisticated. Here's a fruity floral that knows it's sweet but has enough wit to cut that sweetness with layers of rich musk and spicy pepper. The result? A cheerful, sophisticated scent that I can – and will – wear year-round. Coupled with that stunner of a bottle, I'm smitten.
I owe Katia an apology. When we received Deborah Lippman's sparkletastic nail lacquers in the office I took one look at the glitter party and shook my head. Uh uh. Too many bad memories of ill-conceived 7th grade manicures. But this morning, "Bad Romance" (a Lady Gag inspired aubergine with thick flakes of fuchsia) caught the corner of my eye. I idly opened the bottle and applied a coat to my thumb. And another coat. I was hooked. The color looks like a deep dark purple from afar; it's only when you look closely that you see the tiny pink sparkles. It's a nice update on the ubiquitous dark fall nail and, well, I'm in love. As for Katia, she happily put on two coats of the silvery "Today Was a Fairytale" and couldn't stop waving her shimmery nails at us. Touché.
This Friday, in honor of Fashion's Night Out, we'll be hosting a fun happy hour in Bobo's garden. Guys, girls, moms, co-workers - all welcome! You don't even have to love beauty :)

We know our friends and relatives think Birchbox is awesome (Hi Mom!) but it's nice to know that the greater public thinks so too. We've had some great press this week, which we hope will only continue as we launch full-scale. We hear it's gauche to brag so we'll leave things at this…
InStyle thinks we're genius.
Marie Claire says "rad!"
New York's The Cut blog gives us a shout out, Yellow Vault and Mama's a Rolling Stone send us some love, and more…
In honor of Fashion's Night Out, Brooklyn artist Andrew Yang created these limited edition rag dolls of Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington for Barney's. The sweetly old-fashioned dolls have a wide-eyed Coraline aesthetic but a tailored uptown polish. Anna Wintour is infinitely more appealing in rag doll form - perhaps because Yang left off her trademark withering stare. As for Grace, she's just as wonderful as she was when she stole the show in the September Issue. The dolls will be auctioned off for charity, the New York City AIDS Fund, starting today.
If there was a theme to this weekend's Montauk getaway, it was SPF. (With biking and ice cream running a close second and third.) Friends had rented a big house, complete with kitschy nautical paraphernalia, just steps from the beach, and we hunkered down with plenty of books and board games. Makeup was forbidden but that doesn't mean we came beauty empty-handed. Essentials:
Kate Somerville SPF 30: Celeb favorite Kate Somerville knows how to create lovely feeling products that really work. This lotion is fairly thick but rubs in easily, smells great, and keeps my face burn-free.
Coppertone Quick Cover UltraGuard SPF 50: When you're hopping in and out of the surf, you want to keep reapplying. This spray sunscreen (recommended by our surfer buddies) does the trick.
Jouer Lip Enhancer: Yep, still obsessed with this stuff. When your lips are cracked and dry from the sun, it's a must.
Fekkai Beachcomber Leave-In Conditioner: No tangles, and it has protective ingredients too!
Behind the scenes at video shoot #1
We've been busy.
1. We almost have a website. The folks at Copious have been working their tushes off on a new & improved Birchbox.com. In the process, we've been learning all about what goes in to creating a website. It's not quite sausage but there are fun words that fly around: cookies, crumbs, and the like. Get excited - we are.
2. We have videos! We spent an action-packed day shooting hair and makeup how-tos with the fab Nam Vo and Jeff Chastain. Lots of Team Birchbox cameos in this one - we'll be looking for volunteer models the next go around!
3. We have boxes. And stuff to put in them. Everything is currently safe in a warehouse in NJ, patiently awaiting time when it'll get put in the mail and whisked to Birchbox members across the country.
4. We have press! Marie Claire, InStyle, and NY Mag gave us shout outs this week. We hope it's only the start.
Thanks for all the support xox
Face sheets in Korea Town
My friend Kim, the fabulously talented designer behind the Yumi Kim clothing line, is always perfectly pulled together. I've never seen her without immaculate eyeliner and blush, even on days when she's dashing between showrooms, fabric shops, and the office. And so, when she has a beauty tip, I grab it and run. Her latest obsession is The Face Shop, a Korean beauty brand with a few US outposts.
I took a trip to the Korea Town shop yesterday and spent an hour exploring the shimmery shadows (everything is sparkly), high-quality moisturizers and, best of all, the huge selection of face sheets. Face sheets, an Asian phenomenon, are one-time use masks. Each sheet is designed to fit over your face and soaked in a specialized elixir - there are clarifying ones, anti-aging ones, brightening ones, and more. At $2-$6, they're a weekly facial that I can afford.
Weeks ago, when it was too hot to even contemplate cold weather clothes, my most fashionable friend was already raving about J.Crew's fall collection. The brand's creative director, Jenna Lyons, has a loyal (nay, obsessive) fan club that covets her girly but chic mashups. The fall collection has Lyon's trademark soft meets hard, tailored meets sparkly aesthetic but what we really - and I mean really - love is the hot pink lipstick that the models are wearing. The color is NARS "Funny Face" and it may be the most perfect, wearable fuchsia out there. It's slightly matte so you won't look like Grandma Edna, and and gives you fun pop of color, even if its the only makeup you wear.
Cake Liner Press Wiggle. That's what Katia calls her favorite eyeliner application technique. I simply call it genius. You'll need a flat, stiff brush and dry cake liner (Katia has a super special one from India but I like Laura Mercier). Dampen the brush with a little water and swipe it through the liner to pick up color. Now comes the exciting part: lifting up your top eyelid, carefully press and gently wiggle the brush along the inside lashline to place the color. Yes, you're putting the color on the inside of the lid (as long as you use a clean brush and don't paint your eye, this is perfectly safe). This darkens the lashline and adds definition without looking made up; plus I find that it lasts longer than regular liner.
During our shoot this week, Jeff Chastain demystified back combing for us (video to come). The technique is so easy (and the results so cute) that we were all inspired us all to buy teasing brushes. Available for less than $10, this boar bristle brush is the key to successfully backcombing hair for buxom ponytails and buns. Jeff says it's possible to tease with regular fine-tooth combs but you won't be able to smooth over the top (read: you'll look raggedy). Best to get thee to Ricky's and pick up one of these cheap-o gems.
Voiceover magic! Ben Spell and our improvised soundbooth
You may have noticed that our videos are of a much (much) higher quality than the average scrappy startup. The reason? Katia's husband Greg and his company, Red Productions, have been bending over backward to help us. They're the rock stars behind our snappy Master Highlighter video and sexy animation.
Yesterday, we had an all-day shoot with Greg, Eric Ryan Anderson, and Ben Spell at our friend Jeff Chastain's gorgeous Union Square salon. In addition to Jeff, we enlisted makeup artist Nam Vo to star in our short videos - they're both naturals! The day started at 8am with Birdbath cookies and we went nearly nonstop from there. There were a few improvisations along the way: we jerry-rigged a sound booth with a closet, a yoga mat, and a strategically placed mike; and when we needed an extra model we snagged one of Jeff's stylists. But by the time we wrapped, with beers at Rye House, we had shot not one, not two, but seven videos. Can't wait to see the final product.

Last week, Thanh and I went to Union Square to meet with hair stylist Jeff Chastain, who is being kind enough to lend us his gorgeous penthouse salon for a video shoot. While we were waiting, we did what any self-respecting beauty peeps would do: headed to Sephora for market research. I hadn't been in the beauty mega-store for awhile and had forgotten how intimidating it can be. I saw a wide-eyed girl being given the hard sell on the Temptu airbrush foundation (a devilishly tricky product), and another poor NYU student standing in front of the Givenchy display, looking baffled by the medieval club-like wand of the PhenomEyes mascara. I wanted to take her by the hand and help her, but in New York that tends to freak people out. And so, Thanh and I wandered around the store on our own, happily playing with products - I finally tested out Amazing concealer I have been hearing so much about (really thick, but goes on smoothly), and Thanh found the perfect Givenchy red. We decided to wait to buy, though, unlike the girls being shepherded to the registers with overflowing baskets. And, as we were leaving, I noticed that Sephora is selling samples of some of its best products for… $10.
Dear Birchbox,
I'm getting over a cold and have to look picture-ready this weekend. Any tips for hiding red and splotchy?
Dear Ashley,
Colds are such a nuisance. Not only are you sneezy and snuffly, but your skin gets majorly irritated and flaky. We have just the thing for you. We've been testing Dermalogica's latest line of results-oriented skincare products, UltraCalming. The five product collection is geared toward calming irritated, inflamed sensitive skin. As always, the products are no-nonsense (no fancy packaging or scents) and effective. The UltraCalming cleanser is a thick, non-sudsing gel that doesn't leave a tight, dry feeling and the UltraCalming serum feels light but is a good way to keep skin extra hydrated. You can try the whole line with their special Treatment Kit, with minis (and you know how we feel about minis) of each of the products - at $40, it's a great deal. Once your skin is under control, try Stila's new One-Step Correct to counteract redness before you apply the rest of your makeup. And when all else fails, highlight highlight highlight. Peachy shimmer cures all.
I'm not usually one to go all spendy on bath products but I can't resist Molton Brown. The UK company creates delicious scents with equally delicious brit-fab names (Blissful Templetree, anyone?). For years, my favorite has been the Re-Charge Black Pepper, their bestselling men's scent that has a cult following among women too. It's wonderfully spicy and clean without being masculine. Now, Molton Brown has finally created a feminine follow-up, the new Paradisiac Pink Pepperpod. Tongue-twisting properties aside, it's an instant charmer, warm and delicate without being too sweet. The Pink Pepperpod bath gel, bath milk, and lotion all hit counters in Sept - start making space on your shelf for this new classic.
Does this
remind you of this
Maybe it's just me. But I digress. Stila is known for fun, innovative products — witness the mindblowing Custom Color Blush. (Do they just have a cadre of mad beauty scientists running quirky experiments around the clock?) Their latest, One-Step Correct, is a multitasking primer that uses classic color theory to address three skin woes: green neutralizes redness, lavender perks up dullness, and peach adds overall brightness. It slides on easily and dries matte, which is great in this sticky weather. Even under tinted moisturizer and translucent powder, my skin feels clean and my makeup lasts longer. Magic!

If you are more than a casual fan of college basketball, like I am, you enjoy reading and talking about it all year long, not just in season. ESPN.com has been counting down a top-50 ranking of active basketball coaches. On Friday, Kansas head coach Bill Self was revealed as No. 6 on the top-50 list.
Through process of elimination, we can identity who the five coaches are that ESPN.com ranks ahead of Self. We know who they are, although not the order.
The top-five coaches, who will be revealed next week, are Mike Krzyzewski of Duke, John Calipari of Kentucky, Tom Izzo of Michigan State, Rick Pitino of Louisville and Billy Donovan of Florida.
When all is said and done, seven Big 12 coaches will be on this list. You can argue where they rank and whether it is too high or too low, but one thing that isn't debatable is that all seven deserve to be on the list.
The Big 12 has a unique distinction of being the only conference with as many as five league coaches with 500 wins or more in their career. West Virginia's Bob Huggins heads the list with 739 career wins (.709 winning percentage) through the 2013-14 season. Rick Barnes of Texas has 584 career wins, 382 of them at Texas.
Lon Kruger of Oklahoma has 537 career wins (.611 winning percentage), Self has 532 wins (,754) and 325 of those victories have come in his time at Kansas. Tubby Smith, who won a national championship at Kentucky, rounds out the Big 12 500-win coaches club with 525 career wins (.683). Smith is in his second season at Texas Tech.
The ESPN.com top-50 list is based on several aspects of running a college basketball program, with a 1-10 ranking awarded for each of the evaluation criteria. The emphasis is on how each coach is doing right now and not so much on past successes and his overall body of work.
Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford, Baylor's Scott Drew and TCU coach Trent Johnson did not make the list.
Big 12 Basketball Coaches and Their Ranking on the ESPN.com Top-50 List
6. Bill Self, Kansas Jayhawks
15. Fred Hoiberg, Iowa State Cyclones
30. Bob Huggins, West Virginia Mountaineers
31. Lon Kruger, Oklahoma Sooners
39. Tubby Smith, Texas Tech Red Raiders
40. Bruce Weber, Kansas State Wildcats

WOONSOCKET – Continuing uncertainty over personnel needs and costs emerged as a dominant theme as the Budget Commission took its first close look at the Woonsocket Education Department's proposed $66.2 million budget yesterday.
The WED, which overspent its $59.3 million budget for the prior fiscal year by more than $7 million, says the proposed FY 2013 figure is its best guess yet for what it will really cost to get through the fiscal year.
NORTH SMITHFIELD – The secluded house at 4 Pine Lane was so thoroughly engulfed in flames Wednesday that North Smithfield Fire Chief Joel Jillson was sure he wasn't going to be sending any firefighters inside.
Then his crew heard a dog whimpering.
After being told there were no people in the house, Jillson now had a terrible decision to make. Should he send firefighters into a veritable inferno to try to save the life of a family pet?
"We could hear the dog faintly whining early on in the effort," Jillson recalled. "When you commit people to save a dog, that's a touchy decision."
PAWTUCKET—Following an investigation of a complaint, a local man has been arrested on numerous sexual assault charges involving three young female family members, Pawtucket Police said.
Jose A. DaCruz, 55, of Waterman Street, Pawtucket, turned himself in to police on Tuesday after a warrant was issued for his arrest, according to Major Arthur Martins. Police began an investigation after a complaint was made on July 9. The incidents, which took place in Pawtucket, involve three victims who are all under the age of 14 and who are related to DaCruz, Martins said.
LINCOLN – The School Committee and the Lincoln Teachers' Association have reached an agreement on a three-year pact covering 2012, 2013 and 2014 after a series of negotiating sessions that included both sides' attorneys and the assistance of a mediator.
The agreement will give teachers 2-percent pay raises in each of the latter two years of the pact.
Superintendent of Schools Georgia Fortunato noted that the sessions lasted well past midnight and into the next morning to reach the settlement ratified by the parties this past week.
BURRILLVILLE — A 51-year-old Burrillville man, a former Woonsocket Police Department dispatcher, was arrested Tuesday on charges stemming from an incident in which he sent lewd text messages to a youth, police said.
Burrillville Police Major Lareto P. Guglietta said a report was filed Monday with the Burrillville police by a concerned mother who said her son was receiving lewd text messages from an adult male.
PROVIDENCE – Accusing his opponent of "serial hypocrisy," Republican U.S. Senate candidate Barry Hinckley blasted Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse for leaving the Senate floor after promising to debate his DISCLOSE Act "long into the night," to attend a fundraiser held by a group Hinckley claims would be exempt from that proposed law.
WOONSOCKET – Landmark Medical Center is asking a Superior Court judge for permission to move forward with a lawsuit accusing Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Rhode Island of starving the hospital into insolvency with unfairly low reimbursements.
It's the latest salvo in an increasingly acrimonious relationship between Landmark and BCBSRI that Landmark President Richard Charest says now jeopardizes the sale – and survival – of the hospital.

does Disney have any information about the UCA cheerleaders preforming at the Capital One bowl on Jan 1, 2014? I want to make it a family trip, I want to know if the children would get a discount for park passes during this? staying at ESPN sports.
- Asked by janel on 7/13/2013
Hi Janel!
What an exciting event to be attending with your family! I would love to be a spectator at the Capital One Bowl! You will not find Varsity event information on the ESPN Wide World of Sports website, but I do have the website information where you will find everything you need. Check out uca.Varsity.com/CapitalOneBowl.aspx for details on the packages. Be sure to click on the brochure link also!
This would be a perfect time to have a family vacation at Walt Disney World! I found it so easy to vacation around sporting events by adding days before, and/or after the event. It is simple to add additional days to your resort room, and buy
multi-day theme park tickets
which will save you money. If you do not find discounts at the Varsity website above, you can pre-purchase a
Magic Your Way Package
which will maximize your savings! I personally LOVE the
Disney Dining Plan
too! I think you will find staying after the Capital One Bowl the best way to enjoy your time, the theme parks will be much more manageable after the New Years holiday!
Please let me know if I can answer anything else for you.
Go Team!

Dave, I can always count on you for being joyously and unapologetically macabre every now and then. Please don't ever stop! This story by turns made me laugh and feel really, really queasy. I don't know what I like more... The fact that the guy's wife is a nurse and yet he still let his toe fester, the fact that he passed out in a booze stupor before his Dr. visit, the fact that it's unknowable what might have been going through that dog's head as he gnawed off the toe... Yeah. That's the best part. Trying to imagine what the dog was thinking. Too, too funny!!

25th Anniversary of 'Les Misérables' On Broadway
"When we started to rehearse the American cast," says Caird, "we did a very interesting exercise. We got the company together, sat in a big circle and said, 'What we want you all to do is tell us where you all come from, where your parents came from, when they came to America and why." And we found that in most of the cases their ancestors had come to America from Europe — France, Germany, Russia, Poland — at precisely the time of 'Les Miserables' for precisely the reasons of injustice, poverty and degradation that Hugo is describing. In many senses the American cast of 'Les Miserables' are more truly the children of Victor Hugo than the English cast. And by inference the people coming to see the show in New York will be closer to the events."
