Natural redheads are easy to spot but hard to emulate: they generally have blue, green or hazel eyes and a creamy, milky-white complexion that’s not often found in nature (at least not in an era of sunless spray tanning). Others have freckles that make them look eternally youthful, although finding a perfectly matched foundation can be difficult. These beauty tips will help you on your quest to find the best makeup colors for red hair, whether yours is natural or (most likely) not. Try on the best makeup for red hair in our virtual makeup studio.

“If you’re a natural red head (a fiery temptress if you will) you embody the true meaning of rare beauty. Less than 5% of the human population is born with red hair. The rest of us are totally faux.”

If you have freckles, don’t erase, embrace! Foundation is designed to even out your skin tone, not erase all character from your face, so opt for a sheer or medium-coverage foundation or tinted moisturizer for the most natural-looking result. Because redheads tend to have sensitive skin that is prone to redness, steer clear of pink-based foundations—yellow and gold tones are so much more flattering. You simply want to warm up your look and you can also do this with a dusting of light bronzer and apricot or peach blush (again, stay away from pink).

When selecting your eye makeup color palette, think warm, autumnal colors: olive green, chestnut, caramel, honey, and burnt raisin all look fierce on redheads, while pink and blue eye shadows don’t flatter an ultra pale complexion. Swap black mascara and black eye liner (they’re too harsh, at least for daytime) for a rusty brown, especially if you have hazel or green eyes.

Muggle Quidditch is a co-ed sport based on Quidditch. It is popular with fans of the novels, fictional sports aficionados, and children. In Muggle Quidditch, as in Wizard Quidditch there are four positions on a team. Due to the fact that Wizarding Quidditch is based on fictional devices and concepts such as magic, Muggle Quidditch has been adapted for play on the ground, with game play confined to a playing field comparable in size to a football pitch.

Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity” consisted mostly of comedy and other forms of entertainment, but it did end on a more serious note.  In the final 15 minutes Stewart addressed the audience to explain exactly what he was trying to accomplish with the rally.  Stewart delivered a scathing criticism of the media, while appealing to the better side he sees in nearly every American.  Whie the speech still sprinkled in some humor, its overall theme was actually quite profound and serious.  You can read the speech below.  The transcript was put together by Rolling Stone magazine with the assistance of Examiner Liz Brown.

“I can’t control what people think this was. I can only tell you my intentions. This was not a rally to ridicule people of faith. Or people of activism or to look down our noses at the heartland or passionate argument or to suggest that times are not difficult and that we have nothing to fear. They are and we do. But we live now in hard times, not end times. And we can have animus and not be enemies.

Unfortunately, one of our main tools in delineating the two broke. The country’s 24-hour politico pundit panic conflict-onator did not cause our problems, but its existence makes solving them that much harder. The press can hold its magnifying glass up to our problems and illuminate problems heretofore unseen, or it can use its magnifying glass to light ants on fire, and then perhaps host a week of shows on the sudden, unexpected dangerous-flaming-ant epidemic. If we amplify everything, we hear nothing.

There are terrorists and racists and Stalinists and theocrats, but those are titles that must be earned. You must have the resume. Not being able to distinguish between real racists and tea partiers, or real bigots and Juan Williams and Rich Sanchez is an insult — not only to those people, but to the racists themselves, who have put forth the exhausting effort it takes to hate. Just as the inability to distinguish between terrorists and Muslims makes us less safe, not more.

The press is our immune system. If it overreacts to everything we eventually get sicker. And perhaps eczema. Yet, with that being said, I feel good. Strangely, calmly good, because the image of Americans that is reflected back to us by our political and media process is false. It is us through a funhouse mirror, and not the good kind that makes you slim and taller — but the kind where you have a giant forehead and an ass like a pumpkin and one eyeball.

So, why would we work together?  Why would you reach across the aisle to a pumpkin assed forehead eyeball monster?  If the picture of us were true, our inability to solve problems would actually be quite sane and reasonable.  Why would you work with Marxists actively subverting our Constitution or racists and homophobes who see no one’s humanity but their own?  We hear every damn day about how fragile our country is — on the brink of catastrophe — torn by polarizing hate and how it’s a shame that we can’t work together to get things done, but the truth is we do.  We work together to get things done every damn day. The only place we don’t is here or on cable TV. Americans don’t live here or on cable TV. Where we live our values and principles form the foundation that sustains us while we get things done, not the barriers that prevent us from getting things done.

Most Americans don’t live their lives solely as Democrats or Republicans or conservatives or liberals. Most Americans live their lives that our just a little bit late for something they have to do. Often it’s something they do not want to do, but they do it. Impossible things get done every day that are only made possible by the little, reasonable compromises.”

Stewart then plays a clip of cars merging before entering the Lincoln Tunnel in New Jersey

“These cars — that’s a school teacher who thinks taxes are too high…there’s a mom with two kids who can’t think about anything else…another car, the lady’s in the NRA. She loves Oprah…An investment banker, gay, also likes Oprah…a Latino carpenter…a fundamentalist vacuum salesman…a Mormon Jay Z fan…But this is us. Everyone of the cars that you see is filled with individuals of strong belief and principles they hold dear — often principles and beliefs in direct opposition to their fellow travelers.

And yet these millions of cars must somehow find a way to squeeze one by one into a mile-long, 30-foot wide tunnel carved underneath a mighty river…And they do it. Concession by concession. You go. Then I’ll go. You go, then I’ll go. You go, then I’ll go — oh my god, is that an NRA sticker on your car, an Obama sticker on your car? Well, that’s OK. You go and then I’ll go…”Sure, at some point there will be a selfish jerk who zips up the shoulder and cuts in at the last minute. But that individual is rare and he is scorned, and he is not hired as an analyst.

Because we know instinctively as a people that if we are to get through the darkness and back into the light we have to work together and the truth is, there will always be darkness.  And sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t the promised land. Sometimes it’s just New Jersey.  But we do it anyway, together.

If you want to know why I’m here and what I want from you I can only assure you this: you have already given it to me.  You’re presence was what I wanted.  Sanity will always be and has always been in the eye of the beholder.  To see you here today and the kind of people that you are has restored mine.  Thank you.”

One of Gmail’s defining features also happened to generate what seemed like the majority of the complaints about the service. As a result, email threading (what Gmail calls Conversation View) can now be turned off allowing for distinct messages for each email you receive. You know, just like how email use to look back in the day. Emails will be displayed in reverse chronological order, just as you’d expect.

Many people started using Gmail specifically for the threading–it makes it easier to follow a conversation and cuts down on the number of items in your inbox–but some users hate it and have rallied against it. With more corporations and large organizations using Gmail as their primary email solution these people don’t have the choice to simply use another service, so Gmail will offer non-threaded email option for them.

To turn off Gmail threading users will just need to go to the Settings page and change Conversation View from On to Off. The feature is still being rolled out, so it might not have hit your account yet. If it hasn’t it should be there some time over the next few days.

We’ve seen the first eight minutes from the seventh and final installment of the highest-grossing horror franchise of all time.

Right on the heels of Paramount’s Iron Man 2 trailer debut, Disney finally released the official version of the new Tron Legacy trailer today via an online viral puzzle that continues the film’s marketing theme employed thus far.

It’s beyond cool watching this trailer and hearing Jeff Bridges voice right after he won the Best Actor Oscar for Crazy Heart. Even cooler to see what appears to be a younger version of Bridges as Kevin Flynn alive and well within the Tron world.

You can view the trailer in a huge high definition format by downloading it from the viral website at http://www.program-glitch-esc.net .

Tron Legacy stars Garrett Hedlund, Jeff Bridges and Olivia Wilde. It will arrive in theaters on December 17.

BURBANK, Calif. & NEW YORK, Aug 31, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) — –Acquisition highlights Disney’s strategic focus on quality branded content, technological innovation and international expansion to build long-term shareholder value

–An investor conference call will take place at approximately 10:15 a.m. EDT / 7:15 a.m. PDT August 31, 2009. Details for the call are listed in the release.

Building on its strategy of delivering quality branded content to people around the world, The Walt Disney Company /quotes/comstock/13*!dis/quotes/nls/dis (DIS 26.12, -0.72, -2.69%) has agreed to acquire Marvel Entertainment, Inc. /quotes/comstock/13*!mvl/quotes/nls/mvl (MVL 48.48, +9.83, +25.44%) in a stock and cash transaction, the companies announced today.

Under the terms of the agreement and based on the closing price of Disney on August 28, 2009, Marvel shareholders would receive a total of $30 per share in cash plus approximately 0.745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own. At closing, the amount of cash and stock will be adjusted if necessary so that the total value of the Disney stock issued as merger consideration based on its trading value at that time is not less than 40% of the total merger consideration.

Based on the closing price of Disney stock on Friday, August 28, the transaction value is $50 per Marvel share or approximately $4 billion.

"This transaction combines Marvel’s strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney’s creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories," said Robert A. Iger, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company. "Ike Perlmutter and his team have done an impressive job of nurturing these properties and have created significant value. We are pleased to bring this talent and these great assets to Disney."

"We believe that adding Marvel to Disney’s unique portfolio of brands provides significant opportunities for long-term growth and value creation," Iger said.

"Disney is the perfect home for Marvel’s fantastic library of characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses," said Ike Perlmutter, Marvel’s Chief Executive Officer. "This is an unparalleled opportunity for Marvel to build upon its vibrant brand and character properties by accessing Disney’s tremendous global organization and infrastructure around the world."

Under the deal, Disney will acquire ownership of Marvel including its more than 5,000 Marvel characters. Mr. Perlmutter will oversee the Marvel properties, and will work directly with Disney’s global lines of business to build and further integrate Marvel’s properties.

The Boards of Directors of Disney and Marvel have each approved the transaction, which is subject to clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, certain non-United States merger control regulations, effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to Disney shares issued in the transaction and other customary closing conditions. The agreement will require the approval of Marvel shareholders. Marvel was advised on the transaction by BofA Merrill Lynch.
