I tried to like this foundation, but every time I used it, the smell and feel firstly put me off.
It almost smelt too 'mature' for me - I am 19, and it smelt like something a more older woman would use.
The feel of it was not pleasant to apply. It had a weird, cold and greasy feel every time it moved over my skin.
Yes, it did blend well, but the whole experience of applying it felt less than nice.
It has ok coverage, if you like the feel of cake on your face.
By the end of the day, I honestly could not wait to get it off. I ended up using cheaper foundations in my make up collection and avoided it until I eventually gave it to someone else (Who happens to like it!)
This is the last Elizabeth Arden product I will be buying, as another foundation I tried also turned into a disaster.

This was my first high end foundation and I must say it wasn't good, lol. It didn't cover that well and smelled bad. I thought from this experience that all high end foundations were like this after that. The color match wasn't very good either and it felt tacky all day. It transferred and the bottle went bad quickly, after a year. I have had foundations for 3 years that never went bad. This stuff also clogged my pores and didn't give a real nice finish. It felt medium weight on my skin and was overall a not so great foundation for the price. I paid $40 for it and didn't know any better.

I am not a huge fan of this foundation. It's just "okay" in my opinion, and "okay" is not worth the price tag.
It's supposed to be a light/med coverage foundation, but on me, it's a little too heavy of a coverage. It's not "glowy" at all, but does make my skin look oilier than it really is. I could also not find a color match for my very pale (N15) skin.
Would not repurchase.

I just purchased this foundation 3 days ago and I am really glad that I did not read the reviews about this before I shopped! So fr, I really like this foundation. My skin is getting drier as I go through my 30's and this applies really well for me. I do not get a "dewy" or radiant look but it blends really well and the coverage is light to med-light. I have "Ivory" and it works really well on my pale skin without looking too yellow or too pink in natural light.
This product is very expensive compared to what I usually buy. I try to buy drugstore brands but I have given up on purchasing a foundation without being able to test the product first. The foundation I have been using - Almay with Kinetine - has been discontinued and the colour was not quite right, so it was time to begin a new search.
I do like the pump dispenser, which most inexpensive brands do not have. I do not like that the bottle is glass. I am not clumsy, but I would hate to drop it accidentally. I also wonder how it will fare packed in checked baggage when travelling.

Oh my God, how strange and unflattering this looked on me! Like nothing before :D Not sure why, because the colour was actually a good match, the texture was right and it's targeted for my skin type, but it made me look SO unnatural and tired! It hurts to remember, lol!
Not at all dewy or radiant, and definitely not ''flawless'' like it's name beautifully promises :D The coverage is also rather poor.
The reason I gave it 3 lippies (and not just 1), is because (just yesterday) I gave this one to my mum (who has skin similar to mine - slightly on the dry side - but is 50 years old) and it looked really great on her! Dewy, fresh, younger skin... and no settling into fine lines. She liked it a lot right away :)
So maybe it works better with mature skins (I'm 26), even though that is not stated on the box, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm 49, have line & wrinkles, and dry skin. This formula works for me. It has enough coverage to even out the skin tone and hide minor imperfections. Anything heavier, and it would end up sitting in the wrinkles. And rememer, a little goes a long way; you don't need to use a lot, making the price not so bad. (Maybe that's why you're all ending up with greasy faces ... perhaps you're applying too much. Or else you're too young for this stuff!! Lucky you.)
Recommended for dry skin types, it's a soft, lightweight makeup enriched with vitamins & botanicals. Its ultra rich moisture content keeps skin comfortable all day. Helps eliminate imperfection & damage from sun rays. Provides medium coverage & luminous finish. Gives skin a radiant glow. Dermatologist tested.

I'm giving this 4 lippies because I feel as a light coverage foundation it's great, especially if you're going for that dewy look. The colour choices are from pale to tanned skin tones. It works great for photography or runway for the desired dewy look because it does contain a lot of micro shimmer(I have a few of these in my kit). I would recommend this to people with dry or slightly dry-combination skin who just want a little coverage and a radiant glow. It blends into skin quite nice and has a medium thickness in texture.

The Dept. Store had a special and i got a free mini-tube of this foundation.. thank goodness i didn't have to pay for it or i would be pissed. The only good thing about this foundationg is that the color matches great and it has a little shimmer in it which shows thru under lots of power.
Now for all of the bad: I asked for a full coverage foundation and was assured this was. This is very sheer, i might as well be putting tinted mineral oil on my face. It tends to separate in the bottle too, i have to constantly shake it before putting it on a sponge. It is very greasy, hence the tinted mineral oil analogy. The only way i can get it to look descent is to pat on tons of powder to tone down the extreme shine.

There are studies or strategies that are used to decide whether some dialects are languages or varieties of the same language. Arabic dialects are not different language but rather dialects that are not mutually intelligible. This means that Egyptians or Jordanians who speak Egyptian or Jordanian are not necessarily to understand each other. Also there is what is so called "continuum understanding". This also means the closer the speakers of a specific dialect to another speakers of another dialect, the more likely to understand each other. Arabic is also an identity not only a language because it signifies unity of Arabs.
> There are studies or strategies
Hardly. Often such differentiation relies on social factors, in continuum or not, your last sentence is a perfect example. That is not to say social factors are any inferior.
This is the problem, isn't it: the "deciders" who decide whether a "variant" of a language is merely a "dialect", or whether it's a separate "language", themselves decide where to draw the line based on various - - and usually "political" or "social" - - bases.
So one "decider" - - a left-wing academic, let's say, decides one way (e.g., Cantonese and Mandarin are different languages that use the same writing system, in the same way that Finnish and English are different languages but use the same writing system).
But another "decider" - - let's say the Head of the State Language Commission (a real agency, see: 国 家 语 言 文 字 工 作 委 员 会), decides that Mandarin is "true Chinese" and is 普 通 話 (the standard language), and that Cantonese is a mere dialectical variant.
Referring specifically to your post, would it be so unreasonable to decide that ... "dialects that are not mutually intelligible (when spoken)" ... are therefore separate languages? That is one objectively-based way to decide the difference between a dialect and a language, but you reject it by saying, "Arabic dialects are just mutually unintelligible, that's all" - - because they use the same Arabic script.
In that case, we could say that English and Dutch are today merely dialects of each other (and at one time, prior to the Norman Invasion and Shakespeare, they probably were), since they use the same script and share many "roots" and recognizable cognates. But no, most people, even left-leaning linguists, would say that English and Dutch are different - - though related - - languages.

oops... this one isn't going away either... gotta ask... how does one "not intentionally" delete emails AND the backup tapes for them? ... reminds me of Austin Powers: "Oh! I fell ovah!! Oh! I fell ovah again!!" rotten to the core... most corrupt administration in history... White House Has No Comprehensive E-Mail Archive System Used by Clinton Was Scrapped By Elizabeth Williamson and Dan Eggen Washington Post Staff Writers Tuesday, January 22, 2008; Page A03 President Bush's White House early on scrapped a custom archiving system that the Clinton administration had adopted under a federal court order. From 2001 to 2003, the Bush White House also recorded over computer backup tapes that provided a last line of defense for preserving e-mails, even though a similar practice landed the Clinton administration in legal trouble. As a result, several years' worth of electronic communication may have been lost, potentially including e-mails documenting administration actions in the run-up to the Iraq war. White House officials said last week that they have "no reason to believe" that any e-mails were deliberately destroyed or are missing. But over the past year, they have acknowledged problems with archiving, saving and finding e-mails dating from early in the administration until at least 2005. Controversy surrounding the Bush administration's policies intensified on Thursday, when the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released details of a briefing by White House special counsel Emmet T. Flood, in which he disclosed that a 2005 White House study had identified 473 separate days in which no electronic messages were stored for one or more component offices. In the presidential offices, for example, not a single e-mail was archived on Dec. 17, 20 or 21 in 2003 -- the week after the capture of Saddam Hussein. According to the study summary that the committee released, e-mails were not archived for Vice President Cheney's office on four days in early October 2003, coinciding with the start of a Justice Department probe into the leak of a CIA officer's identity, which later led to criminal charges against Cheney's chief of staff. The committee's chairman, Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), has scheduled a Feb. 15 hearing to inquire about the gaps.
oh, and... Missing White House Emails Match Plame Time Frames t r u t h o u t | Report At 8 PM on September 29, 2003, former White House counsel Alberto Gonzales received a phone call from the Department of Justice (DOJ). Gonzales received formal notification that evening that the DOJ had launched a criminal investigation into the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson. Curiously, the Justice Department, which at the time was headed by John Ashcroft, officially launched the investigation on September 26, 2003, but Ashcroft waited more than three days before notifying Gonzales and the White House, whose high-level staffers were reported to be responsible for disseminating Wilson's affiliation with the spy agency to the media just two-and-a-half months earlier. ... <snip> The details the White House provided in last week's federal court filing about its email retention policy and the recycling of backup tape calls into question the integrity of the leak investigation conducted by special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, particularly as it relates to Karl Rove, in that it appears Fitzgerald may not have obtained all of the evidence in the case because the "recycled" backup email tapes may have contained further documents implicating other officials in the leak or, at the very least, discussed the matter. The story behind the single (Rove/Hadley) email that tied Rove to the Plame-Wilson leak is a complex one. It was (Rove lawyer) Luskin who apparently discovered the email Rove sent to Hadley. Yet, it took more than a year before the high-powered Washington, DC, attorney disclosed this crucial fact to Fitzgerald. And it was disclosed to the special prosecutor only when it became clear Cooper would lose his legal battle and would be compelled to respond to a subpoena demanding he reveal the identity of his source who told him Wilson worked for the CIA. Cooper testified his source was Karl Rove. ... <snip> But around the time Luskin said he located the email Rove had sent to Hadley, Fitzgerald had already become suspicious Rove was obstructing his investigation and might have destroyed evidence implicating him in the leak. In late January 2004, Fitzgerald sent a letter to then acting Attorney General James Comey seeking confirmation he had the authority to investigate and prosecute suspects in the leak case for additional crimes, including evidence destruction.
add this to the list ..... its comical how unprofessional, unethical, and downright unlawful this administration has been. ha ha.... ha..
again... i gotta ask, and maybe a staunch Bush League disciple here can clear it up for me with some substance: if they had nothing to hide -- no criminal leak, no politically ordered attorney firings -- why do White House email records, AND their backup tapes need to be purged?
. Wonder if they used the same "re-cycling service" that the Clinton White House used before/during/and after the Monica Lewinsky "affair"!!! And, while we're on it: why did Sandy Burglar have to hide Top Secret documents from a classified national data archive?? Why did he have to shove documents down his pants?? He was National Security Advisor!! Why did he need to hide anything???? What was THAT all about???? Did we ever get any truthful answers on that whole deal???? //
So I guess you have nothing to offer on this latest scandal by George and his crew.. divert, confuse on and on... don't answer the question..
What's the point? Another witch hunt. For what?? If anybody wants to look at Geo Bush's laundry for dirt, more than enough comparable dirt in Clinton's old laundry is there, if not a lot, lot more. Who's going to look into the super secret high-tech transfers from the U.S. to China that took place during Clinton's watch??? When are we going to have a Congressional/Senate blue ribbon panel that connects the dots from communist China's high tech gains from the U.S. and Bill Clinton's campaign coffer gains??? A lot of people are still waiting for THAT investigation to get into gear. //
LOL.... he's like a wind-up doll... pull Fog's string and he parrots the same 6 phrases.... just add 'D' batteries... -- "yeah? well what about Clinton?" -- "that sounds like evil communist thinking" -- "these Bush witch hunts will solve nothing" -- "you're a useless shytbum" -- "that's a 'fact' " -- "you'll learn"
Yes, well, for every problem one needs the correct instrument. Those six are all one needs around here. But you gloss of the subtleties, alas. :singing: //
Believe me I'm not going to try defending the administration on this one, its another example of excessive and troubling secrecy. I do see it as a big problem. One question I have though is are they legally compelled to keep email records? this article mentions a federal order during the Clinton years, but can that be overridden by executive order or privelage? Just interested in the legality of it, I still think those records should have been kept. And come on Fog, it does no good to point out corruption in the Clinton administration as an excuse for the Bush administration. The fact is that NEITHER should have done the things they did, just because other administrations have been unscrupulous/unlawful doesn't make it OK for this one to be as well.
Who's "excusing"?? If we judge one by a certain standard, then we must judge all. The Clintons are trying to get back into the White House. Have all the questions regarding THEIR "disappeared" e-mail, Sandy Burglar's theft of top secret documents, and the transfer of ultra secret weapons' technology to China/for huge campaign donations to the Clintons -- have any of these very serious questions been cleared up???? Until they are, the Clintons won't get my vote even if they are the only name on the ballot. When people start pointing fingers is when the mirrors come out. //
No I agree that the Clinton administration was bad too, all I'm saying is that when people are pointing out wrongful activities by the Bush administration it is best to answer the critisicm directly, either by presenting an opposing view or interpretation, or acknowledging wrongdoing. After answering the issue in that way then by all means point out how slimy the Clintons were/are, that's a favorite hobby of mine!
You may get better results by beating your head against the wall, Foggie has blinders on when it comes to anything that George and his crew has done.
Well, see, the only problem with that line of thinking is -- and I've seen this a billion times, if not a trillion -- is that once you start talking about X, then nobody ever wants to evaluate Y in the same way. Oh, no. The focus never changes. It starts as: "X was 'so bad'"; and so, by comparison, "Y was a boy scout" (or girl scout) who "only" did a b-job, or "it's 'only' about sex-x-x-x!!!! What are you, a 'Puritan'???" You follow, Stokes?? The game never gets played the way you are thinking above; no, no. The game is "who can claim the 'High Moral Ground'", and there are no prisoners in this game. It's winner take all; loser is fertilizer. Ask Belichick how the guys who finish second feel. AS they say in NASCAR: "coming in second means you're the first one to lose". And, as we see, American politics is a contact sport that makes the NFL look like a shuffle-board for over 70-year olds game on the QEII. Understand?? //
Not true at all. I've expressed my problems with W in several of my earliest posts, but since it was just feeding a blood-fest I decided we needed to clear up some humongous unanswered questions about Bill and Hillary BEFORE we could so "righteously" go after Geo Bush. Fair is fair. Can't tar one without tarring 'em all; and not just in meaningless generalizations; we need specifics in each case. //
you're doing the EXACT same thing the other way... YOU are excusing... Clinton's (unproven) misdeeds were innocuous compared to the hundreds of thousands killed, stripping of civil liberties here at home, false fears, faith-based legislation, devastation of our armed forces, and on and on and on, as a result of Bush League violations (as obvious as the OJ evidence).... and you know it.... you're being disingenuous to the core by not acknowledging that fact, and by constantly running to the support of Boy King and his criminal minions... about all you have are some dubious real estate deals and a few other curious situations (investigated, dismissed) that affected maybe 20 people... certainly not the entire planet, and certainly not garnering disdain for the U.S. on the scale that your clown in office has affected... you're not fooling anyone around here... your tactics mirror Karl Rove's.... it's what you people do such a liar.... bearing false witness is a sin, no?.... when have you "expressed problems" with Boy King? when? or, was it merely the times when he wasn't cruel enough to Brown people? wasn't conservative enough with fiscal spending? please... you've yet to condemn George W. Bush for anything regarding his lies in tWoT or the fraudulent Iraq mess... not once that i've seen, and "SPECIFICS" HAVE been given... alternately, you squawk like an annoying tropical bird about Clinton any chance you get, hourly, even if Clinton has nothing to do with the topic being discussed...

I was printed on the evening of November 27th, 2008, just as the weather was turning from chilly to cold. I was tomorrow's news. At the moment I came off the press, I told the future. I knew things before the rest of the world; it was wonderful. I knew what my purpose was: to inform as many people as possible about the world's happenings.
As I was put to bed, bound against my brothers and sisters, I dreamt of being passed around a construction site, making sure all the workers were aware of which sports team triumphed, and which celebrity was getting a divorce. I dreamt that corporate peons debated over politics, and the state of the economy and which policies would be most effective in fixing the existing problems. I slept contently, snuggled warm in the middle of a stack, ready to be shipped out the next day and sold to whoever wanted me.
The next morning was cold and blustery. I was so excited about being sold that I allowed the wind to ruffle my pages, since I couldn't move on my own. I had been shipped to a newsstand on some random avenue; I didn't get a chance to see the street sign. The owner of the stand kept my stack on the pavement just out front so that his customers could pick my siblings and I up easier.
We were there early in the morning so that we could be sold for as long as possible. There were many people passing by on foot, and several stopped to buy a paper. It didn't take long for me to reach the top of the pile, but it seemed like forever. Once I was able to see, the street had cleared.
Where had all the people gone? How long was I going to sit here at the top, waiting desperately for someone to come and buy me? I waited for hours. I counted each minute as it ticked by. Finally, someone strolled up to the stand. He was well-dressed and he seemed in no hurry. Although by now, I figured that most people would have been late to work.
He was extremely well dressed and carried a briefcase. He seemed like a typical businessman, and as he exchanged small talk with the owner of the stand, I imagined what my fate would be.
As he picked me up and went on his way, I read the gold plate on his suitcase. He was a CEO, but I didn't see what company; I knew he was obviously a very important man. We descended into the subway and he flipped through my pages, not really pausing to read anything, just looking at the titles of my articles. He paused once, to read a name I think, and then he kept going.
He had flipped through me in my entirety by the time we had gotten off the subway. When we were back on the surface, he sighed tiredly and dropped me in a trashcan on a corner.
I couldn't believe it. I had dreamed of everything, but this wasn't a dream, it was a nightmare. All my aspirations: dead. No one else would read me. No one else had even read me to begin with. The man had merely skimmed me. I felt useless, and all I could do was stare up at the sky, watching the clouds pass.
But then something happened that I didn't expect. Someone picked me up; he folded me so that I couldn't see anything, just darkness. When we stopped moving, he unfolded me. Compared to the well-dressed man, this man was hideous in every imaginable way. His grizzled hair and beard was graying, and it formed a mane that framed his weatherworn face. His mouth formed a smile, despite his circumstances. He was missing several teeth and his clothes were little more than rags.
He read me cover to cover. Not just once, either. He read me twice, three times, four times. I lost count eventually. When I was as thumbed-through as I could get, he still didn't discard me. He opened me up, making me feel a bit vulnerable, and added me to a pile of other forgotten papers he had. He used us as a blanket.
To be with my brothers and sisters again after being so easily discarded felt right. This man was my savior. He found a use for old news, and kept us until we fell apart, even though we only had only the information we were printed with to share with him each day. And he read all of us everyday, as if we were the end-all-be-all of global updates.
The man, the glorious, kind, frumpy man gave my life meaning. He was the sole source of happiness in my life. And when I died, I died knowing that I had been more useful to him than I could have been to anyone else.

From Jake Tapper and Sunlen Miller report:
President Obama emerged from an hour-long meeting with bank executives at the White House and said his main message to the heads of the nation's top financial firms was, "that America's banks received extraordinary assistance from American taxpayers to rebuild their industry and now that they're back on their feet we expect an extraordinary commitment from them to help rebuild our economy."
Mr. Obama outlined, as communicated to the bankers, how he believes it is their responsibility to help: by increasing lending and stopping their opposition to financial regulatory reforms.
"That starts with finding ways to help credit-worthy small and medium-size businesses get the loans that they need to open their doors, grow their operations and create new jobs," Obama said.
The president said that he hears that bankers are willing to lend but face a shortage of credit-worthy individuals and businesses. He said that while "no one wants banks making the kinds of risky loans that got us into this situation in the first place," he expects banks to explore every responsible way to help get our economy moving again.
"Given the difficulty business people are having as lending has declined and given the exceptional assistance banks received to get them through a difficult time, we expect them to explore every responsible way to help get our economy moving again."
The president said he is getting too many letters from small businesses who say they are credit worthy, but they are still having problems getting the loans.
"I urged these institutions here today to go back and take a third and fourth look about how they are operating when it comes to small business and medium-sized business lending."
The president said that there was broad support around the table about the need for financial regulatory reform to update the rules of the road for the financial industry.
"The problem is, there's a big gap between what I'm hearing here in the White House and the activities of lobbyists on behalf of these institutions or associations of which they're a member up on Capitol Hill. I urged them to close that gap, and they assured me that they would make every effort to do so."
The president said it is not his intent to vilify one person or industry — to not dictate to them or micromanage their compensation practices.
"My job is to ensure that consumers and the larger economy are protected from risky speculation and predatory practices, that credit is flowing, that businesses can grow, and jobs are once again being created at the pace we need."
In working together towards a lasting recovery, Mr. Obama said, "we rise and fall together: banks and small businesses, consumers and large corporations. And we have a shared interest in working together to ensure a lasting recovery that will benefit all of us and not just some of us."
Those in today's meeting were: Ken Chenault, President and CEO, American Express, Richard Davis, Chairman, President, and CEO, US Bancorp, Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO, JP Morgan Chase, Richard Fairbank, Chairman and CEO, Capital One, Bob Kelly, Chairman and CEO, Bank of New York Mellon, Ken Lewis, President and CEO, Bank of America, Ron Logue, Chairman and CEO, State Street Bank, Gregory Palm, Executive Vice President and Chief Counsel, Goldman Sachs, Jim Rohr, Chairman and CEO, PNC, and John Stumpf, President and CEO, Wells Fargo.
Due to inclement weather in Washington, D.C. Lloyd Blankfein, Chairman and CEO, Goldman Sachs, John Mack, Chairman and CEO, Morgan Stanley and Dick Parsons, Chairman, Citigroup were connected to the meeting via conference call.

Thursday 5 Mar 2015
By Martin Bailey. News, Issue 226, July-August 2011Published online: 21 July 2011
LONDON. An Art Newspaper investigation has identified gaps and discrepancies in accounts of the fate of the greatest ever collection of works by Chardin (1699-1779), which are said to have been destroyed in England during the second world war. The paintings belonged to Paris-based Henri de Rothschild, of the banking dynasty who, in 1931, is believed to have owned 33 paintings, representing about one sixth of the artist's entire surviving oeuvre.
Until the war, most of the Chardins of Henri de Rothschild (1872-1947) were in his Paris residence, the Château de la Muette. In 1939 he fled France for Lisbon to escape the Nazis. Members of the Rothschild family maintain that soon after the outbreak of the war he sent most of his Chardins to England for safekeeping.What happened next, however, remains obscure. Wildenstein's 1969 Chardin catalogue raisonné records that 14 Chardins were "destroyed in London in 1939/ 40". The suggestion of 1939 is surprising, since the bombing of London did not begin until 1940. Among the 14 losses recorded by Wildenstein are The Draftsman (1738), The Kitchen Maid (1738), The Monkey Painter (1739-40), The Blind Man (1753), Three Apples (1760), The Pewter Pitcher (1760), Basket of Fruit (1768) and Girl Returning from Market (1768-89). The present Lord Rothschild believes the Chardins were "destroyed by a German bomb when stored in Bath during the war". Bath was badly bombed in 1942. Harry Paul, author of a biography of Henri de Rothschild published earlier this year, has said that the pictures were destroyed in "a flood".Pierre Rosenberg, a former director of the Louvre and Chardin specialist, explained what he knew about the Bath loss: "The bombs did not destroy the paintings that were in the cellar, but they damaged the water pipes. Water engulfed the cellar and destroyed the paintings. But how can one know the truth?" If the loss was from water (not fire), it is surprising that the damaged canvases were not saved.Henri de Rothschild died in Lausanne in 1947 and his estate later passed to his three children. The loss of the Chardins raises numerous questions. It is surprising that Henri de Rothschild sent the paintings to England after the outbreak of the war, since he left the vast bulk of his enormous art collection in Paris before travelling to Lisbon.Altogether Wildenstein records that 14 of Henri's Chardins were lost in England, but others survived. Two are known to have passed to his son, Philippe, and are with his descendants. At least five others were sold in the 1950s and 1960s, including pictures now at New York's Metropolitan Museum, the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, Toronto's Art Gallery of Ontario and the Louvre. It is uncertain whether the seven which survived also went to England (and escaped the destruction) or remained behind in Paris. This accounts for 21 Chardins, but he is said to have once owned 33 (some may have since been downgraded as not authentic). Most surprisingly, the date, specific place and exact cause of the English disaster is unconfirmed. Although the Rothschild family history is extensively documented, there seems to be no authenticated account of what happened to the Chardins.Juliet Carey, curator at Waddesdon, the National Trust's Rothschild mansion in Buckinghamshire, said: "There are scraps of evidence…so it now seems timely to research their fate." Lord Rothschild plans exhibition built around key paintingsLord Rothschild is planning an ambitious Chardin exhibition at Waddesdon in March-July 2012. This follows his purchase in 2007, for £5m, of Boy Building a House of Cards, 1735. The three other key versions of this painting are being borrowed, from the National Gallery in London, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC and the Louvre in Paris. Few collectors have the necessary influence to borrow from what are arguably the world's three greatest galleries, however, the show will be backed up by scholarly research: one aim is to examine the Rothschilds as the greatest collectors of Chardin. Girl with a Shuttlecock, 1737, which once belonged to Henri de Rothschild, will be lent by his descendants.

21 Jul 11 21:15 CET
Interesting article! I am curious about the photographs at the top of the article. One of the paintings is labeled "Kitchen Maid" but I believe that the actual title of the image is "Scullery Maid." Did the Rothchild family own "Kitchen Maid" or "Scullery Maid"? The Corcoran Gallery of Art has "Scullery Maid" in its collection.

The greatest collection of Chardin belonged to Martial François Marcille who at one time possessed approximately 100 works by this artist.

Why should a comic have a plot in order for it to say that it has ended? That doesn't make any sense.
To me, it sounds as if you're saying that the TW comic hasn't ended contrary to what you're saying.

I've seen the Decade-Shinkenger crossover also, that was so terrific.
Also, one thing I would like to note about American and Japanese Super Heroes is that they're different because of it being based on how people from America and Japan define "God." Joker-Undead's preference regarding favorite super heroes is quite different for this reason also, so I thought it would be a good idea to help him out while staying on topic. I have some of this information here explained by Crispin Freeman if anyone's interested starting at 13:24: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfd0TY7lEKc

text: In a restricted sense, the total of religious beliefs and practises in India, growing out of ancient Brahmanism, and contrasting with the present orthodox Brahmanism. In its broader and generally accepted application Hinduism comprises all religious, social, and intellectual life popularly accepted as compatible with Brahman tradition. It extends to orthodox Brahmanism, and to popular Vishnuism and Shivaism with their numerous schisms. The Brahman priests require but recognition of their supremacy and of certain fundamental traditions. The elastic pantheistic all-god Brahma admits all varieties of worship from the higher monotheistic to the popular depraved worship of nature, demons, animals, and trees, together with fetishism, totemism, and animism. Hinduism is of wide adaptation with its spiritual and abstract, practical and concrete, ethical and ceremonial, and quiescent and contemplative sides. Bound up with its castes, and its intricate social customs, it is a national, not a world religion. See also: Brahmanism.New Catholic Dictionary

The Unemployed Community
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When a person loses a job, he or she doesn't just lose a paycheck -- their community is dramatically fractured.
Think of your work and calculate the hours per week spent at the office. Think of the emails, IMs and text messages sent to co-workers regarding "business' from home.
This usually adds up to more time then we spend with our family and friends.
Then picture all of that time spent working for a living, suddenly coming to an abrupt halt!
The employee hears: "Your services are longer needed." They cannot help but feel a sudden and expansive chasm separating them from their former selves. All the time, energy, emotion, commitment and investment they've devoted to their careers suddenly feels null and void. Their realities are ripped out from underneath them, sometimes in an irrevocably painful way. Imagine how that would feel. For far too many American workers, imagining that event is not necessary. They've already lived it. For those who have, it is a personal trauma plain and simple. Relationships and bonds built with coworkers from years of working together often become obsolete. A worker's daily routines and rituals might dissolve into disarray, and carefully organized personal budgets thrown into chaos. Without a cohesive community, a former employee lacks connection to the world. This can easily lead one into isolation and situational depression. Unemployment presents multiple challenges to the individual, simultaneously. It is a crossroads scenario presenting both the issue of needing to find new employment and a need to heal from the trauma caused by the loss of employment. However, what may prove most difficult is trying to explain your specific situation to the outside world. Our culture defines us by what we do for a living. One of the most common lines first exchanged in any conversation with a stranger is, "What do you do?" Imagine having to struggle through the lengthy explanation. It is not an easy task. When someone we know loses their job, we must be mindful of the profound emotional stressors they face. We can encourage them to stay connected to their personal communities by socializing with friends and staying engaged with professional networks as well. We must remind them that however disjointed they feel, their communities are not lost. That they can feel like they belong once again.

Loading... Portuguese Irregular Verbs (2003)by Alexander McCall Smith
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Short, episodic chapters tell the humorous shenanigans of Professor von Igelfeld, the author of the eponymous Portuguese Irregular Verbs, and his compatriots Prinzel and Unterholzer. Von Igelfeld is a sort of hapless bumbler who can't get the recognition he so desires for his niche philological studies, and his adventures made me smile. After much trial and tribulation, I managed to get a copy of the audio version read by Hugh Laurie (apparently it's really difficult to find in the U.S. library system!), and I enjoyed his presentation of it. He does an excellent job with multiple accents and characters, and brings out the humor in the situations in which the professors find themselves in. Light, fun reading. I read or listen to this author while exercising. It is a great, light read perfect for exercise. Complete return to form by this author after the unfortunate The Sunday Philosophy Club. Professor Dr Moritz-Maria von Igenfeld is a gem. It flags a bit, but by the end it's all worth it. [Portuguese Irregular Verbs] by [[Alexander McCall Smith]], author of the [No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency] series, is another wonderful addition to the humorous fiction genre. Professor Dr. von Igelfeld is a very smart, very specialized (witness his 1200 page magnum opus "Portuguese Irregular Verbs"), and very naive professor. He and his professor friends get into humuous contretemps dealing with the real world as well as the perils of academe. The pacing and understated writing style is similar to [No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency], but the characters are more unbelievable and fantastic. My wife felt it was too silly. I loved it. Your mileage may vary.
I am headed to local library to check this one out again. If you like to laugh and have a dry sense of humor you will absolutely relate to this book....and quick note, it's first in a series of three. The negative reviews on this book astound me. What planet are you on? I take mine dry with a side of umph.... Is contained in
No descriptions found. Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld of the Institute of Romance Philology learns to play tennis and forces a college chum to enter into a duel that results in a nipped nose.

Along the way, he takes two ill-fated Italian sojourns, the first merely uncomfortable, the second defintitely dangerous.… (more) |

- To bring all to God who is Love. Nothing else matters. God alone is. The rest are false.
- To bring wo/men of all religions to love and serve and opt for the poor over the rich, wherever they are in whatever station of life. The poor appear to be filthy, smelly and sub-human since we the moneyed choose to exploit them in the name of God, our own salvation and innate pride. We Hindus say they are poor because they deserve to be poor due to their past karma, the Christians say they are poor for God loves the poor and it is His Will. But deep study both of Hinduism and of Christianity shows both views to be erroneous. These are ways that we have invented to not help our fellow wo/men. We use false logic to silence our own consciences. The poor do not need our charity, neither should we help others who are deprived since that is what we think will take us to heaven or to God. We must help others simply because others are there and without others we have no meaning. For instance, if you win a trophy in some match and run to your home and shout in joy that you have won that trophy: only to find out that there is none other in that house since you took all of them for granted. & they have all fled from you. So the poor, whom we condescendingly help, are our neighbors. So please serve others. Please do not fall into the trap of solipsism.
- To bring about inner conversion, leading to bringing hope to others.
- To make certain wherever we are that we ourselves have mukti; lead others to mukti and to become flames of love for those forgotten by mainstream society.
This blog continues for I know God has not forgotten you or I or any one of us. No matter what we have done, in what situation of life we are in, no matter how bad our lives may be. God journeys with you and suffers along with you. You are not forgotten by God. No matter what you think. God loves you. When you are beaten, defeated, laid low…destroyed and utterly forgotten by those whom you helped once, or in those you trusted once. No matter who has betrayed you: God loves you. Hinduism and Christianity both agree that God is real; personal, acting within history in your life. You may not be something in others' eyes or even your own; but you are very important; indeed unique to God.
Philosophizing and writing and being learned are all means to loving others. The first three are useless unless we help others in the here and the now through philosophy, the humanities, science and learning.
- Please do not rob others of faith in goodness, kindness and love. These are the attributes of God. When someone is mortally ill or cares for the terminally ill; then it is within the sacred scriptures of a religion that one often finds meaning in suffering. It is a sin to deny the terminally ill or their caregivers of the solace of religion and the genuine chance for them to encounter God within the matrix of suffering. (This is not the same thing as asking for the poor to remain poor so that they encounter God. Poverty is detestable and is to be eradicated.) What I mean is that God is abject, God seeks love, God wants to be loved (the bhakti marga) and when people are terminally ill or pass through life-altering negative stressors; God suffers along-with those who suffer. God is with the mentally ill, in their private hell; God is with the childless couple who want a kid desperately; God is with the unmarried who seek companionship. & God is with those who are abandoned by their families and packed off to old-age homes. God is there with the ruffians who rape (but also with the one who is raped), the quality of mercy is never strained. God is.
- The only thing that matters is that we sow love; that we imitate only holy wo/men; we should initially avoid the company of the worldly and slowly turn to self-discipline and further, very slowly, turn to God present in others. Only then will we be able to help others. Nothing fast, impulsively or unscientifically. Going slow is the key-theme here.
- Please for the sake of God, exercise, take allopathic medicines, study first before arguing, try not to argue; eat and sleep well. Only then the other things will be added unto you. Be holy in small things; the big things don't matter.
- Please do not gossip.
- Please do not slander.
- Please do not judge others.
- Please do not speak out of turn.
- Please do not speak of yourself as much as is possible.
- Please read poetry daily.
- Please don't ask others to be holy.
- Please do not scare little children.
- Please even in jokes do not humiliate or speak about the weaknesses of others. Never please remind someone of their weak points.
- Please say hello and welcome those whom you cannot tolerate. God loves that person whom you think you hate too. & please remember that in the furnace of time neither you and your object of hatred will live. Both will be with God. So don't hate anyone. Forgive from within. If you cannot, please seek counselling and take medications.
- If you can, then meditate/pray. But let not others know you pray.
- Seek out men and women who have renounced everything internally, and put yourself under their obedience. This does not mean you will do morally wrong things if asked by your spiritual mother/father/friend. It only means that you have some outside safeguards to ensure that you are progressing in your spiritual life.
- Seek the company of the materially poor, the socially marginalized; not to help them; but to be like unto them.
If you do these things, then my writing here serves some purpose. I am an imperfect being; with pride and hedonism. But i have known wo/men and men who were devoid of these. And I know a few alive, well and kicking who are saints. They are living signs from God, that God has not tired of mankind. For example, I know of a gentleman with four kids living in the fringes of an Indian metropolis who is incapable of greed, of lust, of speaking untruths, of hating others. Yet he is a man of the world, in the world and very much aware of the world. He has married off his two daughters well. His one son is divorced and other son's choice of girl is not to his liking. Yet he has accepted the marriage and the various ups and downs in his life with equanimity. I have never heard him speak even one word against anyone at all. Never. I have never seen him trying to earn more than what is needed for a reasonably good life for his family. He had a heart by-pass surgery and had other life-threatening diseases. He has angina. Yet he is not overtly worried. He seeks medical help and leads a very low-profile life and I know it for a fact that he is always praying and always seeking God, always wanting others to change their lives for reaching God and never grumbles. I also know it for a fact that he never judges a person. He refers them to God. He is above 60, a grand-dad, and a man available to others are all times of the day 24*7. He is a Hindu. A man who will die with literally hundreds of people becoming bereft of a father, of a friend, of a mentor, of a sage. So, the purpose of this blog is to remind ourselves that God is. God still sends us holy men and women. It is possible for us too to be holy and experience God in our own lives. There is no substitute to seeking God. The loneliness we feel inside, the emptiness in our hearts will only go if we seek God.

Quirky News
Toaster makes Jesus image - every slice
A US firm has created a toaster that creates an image of Jesus on every single slice it creates.
Vernon-based Burnt Impressions created the Jesus Toaster which is on sale for the equivalent of £22.
Creator Galen Diveley came up with the idea after reports of people seeing apparitions of Jesus in slices of toast, and other inanimate objects.
"The response to our toasters this Christmas season has been awesome! I was a short order cook but I have never been swamped this way before," he said.
"We have called in family and friends who are working around the clock to process this mountain of toasters."

1200 E Passyunk Ave. (215) 365-1169 thehappybirthdaybar.comA trough lines the bottom of the bar: what could that possibly be for? Urinating, of course. Or, at least at one time it was. Now it's a relic of an establishment that's been around much longer than you. The poorly powered sound system chokes out karaoke on Friday nights. If you haven't guessed it, this is another dive. And while it may not be worth travelling across town for, if you need one more in you before tackling a Pat's cheesesteak just down the road, this is the best place for it.

Macy's Herald Square Beauty And Fragrance Department Undergoes Its Biggest And Boldest Makeover Yet
A state-of-the-art and sophisticated shopping experience awaits shoppers as Macy's Herald Square unveils a striking new look for its signature world of beauty and fragrances today. The long-awaited reveal has been months in the making, culminating with the most dramatic makeover of a beauty department in modern retail history. Re-fashioned within a brand-new 24,000 square-foot space and re-imagined within the grand architectural setting of the majestic Main Floor, the new Cosmetics and Fragrances department at Macy's Herald Square will be the pre-eminent retail showcase for beauty brands and salon services. New luxury and prestige brands in color, treatment and skincare collections, as well as brand new counters, shops and bars for brows, blow-outs and nails will elevate the customer experience and exceed their expectations. Beauty will truly be in the eye of the beholder as Macy's Herald Square restyles the world's ultimate beauty destination.
"Beauty is always one of the most dynamic businesses and departments at Macy's Herald Square," said Muriel Gonzalez, executive vice president/general merchandise manager for cosmetics, fragrances and shoes. "With the renovation of our flagship store, we were able to completely re-imagine the space devoted to all things beauty, allowing us to bring in luxury brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Hermes, La Mer, Laura Mercier, Jo Malone London and Tom Ford, and for the first time, layer in salon services for nails, brows and hair all in one location. Macy's Herald Square undeniably has the most powerful presentation for beauty in New York City."
She added, "In addition to the new color, skincare and fragrance collections being introduced, all of our existing vendors embraced the spectacular changes at Macy's Herald Square with their own state-of-the-art installations that are unique, interactive and the most exciting cosmetics counters in the city."
Beauty indeed does start from within. Located in the heart of the store and at the crossroads of the Main Aisle and the newly opened Memorial Door Entrance off of 34 th Street, the new Cosmetics and Fragrances department at Macy's Herald Square is the crowning moment of the extensive Main Floor renovation begun last year. Redesigned with new architectural accents and structural elements, two sets of sweeping marble staircases along both the 34 th and 35 th Street sides of the store frame the stunning new department and create a spectacular arena for shopping. For the first time, show windows along 34 th Street have been opened to provide vistas from the street into the store. Passersby can now experience the energy and excitement of the city's most popular beauty destination as they travel along the bustling thoroughfare.
Once inside, shoppers enter a world of breathtaking beauty accented by modern design aesthetics and a sleek, modern sensibility. A brand-new Kiehl's shop complete with its signature motorcycle display is offset by Macy's award-winning Impulse Beauty concept. Steps away from 34 th Street, an outpost for Blow, the New York Blow Dry Bar Express and everyone's favorite trend-setting brands including Bare Escentuals, Benefit, butter LONDON, essie, Inglot, Lipstick Queen, Smashbox, Tarte, Too-Faced, and Urban Decay await the shopper inside. Providing express services and views from 34 th Street, Blow's new outpost will be first stop for fast blow-outs, up-dos and quick re-styles and then it is off to Benefit's Brow Bar for a quick re-shape. Nestled underneath the new Mezzanine Level, Bobbi Brown's fabulous new counter is within reach from 34 th Street with multiple seats for makeovers. Custom counters featuring video screens, new fixtures, visual elements, expanded assortments and state-of-the-art technology from Chanel, Clarins, Clinique, Dior, Elizabeth Arden, Estee Lauder, Fashion Fair, Lancôme, M.A.C, Origins, Shiseido, and YSL are the premier destinations for these prestige brands. Dior's new nail bar offers quick coats of color for tips. Counters will offer enhanced services through interactive technology and language translation. New luxury brands in color include: Dolce & Gabbana Make-up, Laura Mercier and Michael Kors that join a star line-up of new skincare brands including Kiehl's Since 1851, La Mer and SK-II.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

This is a great quote. Anybody know what ever happened to this guy? "The problem is is that the way Bush has done it over the last 8 years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from 5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents, number 43 added 4 trillion dollars by his lonesone, so that we now have over 9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back. 30 thousand dollars for every man, woman and child. That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic." Whoever spoke those words sure made a lot of sense. Where did that guy go? Anyone seen him lately? Obama on Pace to Borrow $6.2T in One Term
They change in some ways, and get ***** slapped by reality in some others. I don't so much as fault Obama for having to ask for a debt limit increase, as much as I fault him for being such a big spender. i.e. I think people could live with extending the debt limit short term, if their were a plan in place, or actual action being taken, to significantly cut spending moving forward.
I for one am tired of hearing people give Obama a pass by saying that he had no idea what he was getting into. I know you are not giving him a pass, but plenty of people have. If I go to a job interview and I tell my potential employer of all the great things I can do to help cut the company's costs, improve safety standards and so on... And, then after 3 or 6 months on the job everything i said I would fix/improve is now worse... Well, we all know what happens at that point. Of course if you live in the fairytale land of politics you say whatever you want to get the job, and then do whatever you want after you get it.
