The Best Witchy Style from New York's Annual Pagan Festival ALL PHOTOS BY DARRAGH DANDURAND

At the fifth annual WitchsFest, attendees accessorized with healing crystals, lots of leather, and, on one occasion, an iguana on a leash.
The fifth annual WitchsFest, "a Pagan street faire" fundraiser for the New York City Wiccan Family Temple, took over Astor Place in the East Village on Saturday. Swarmed by a diverse and peaceful group of witches, the block party boasted free workshops, blessings, and rituals to ring in the summer season, as well as several small pop-up shops offering everything from healing crystals, incense, magic veils, tarot card readings, and goddess-themed coloring books.
A darker, DIY aesthetic seemed to be the dress code for the occasion. Almost everyone came costumed in all black, stitched with lace and cased in polished metalware or fitted leather pieces. Beads and stones and pentagram charms dripped from their necks and studded belts. Corsets and fishnet stockings were a popular choice, with statement nose rings and elaborate face paint to complement.
Wicca, a modernized version of Paganism characterized by a higher belief in Earth's natural elements and one or more gods or goddesses, often draws female worshippers with its family-friendly themes and the promise of often equal roles between women and men within temple communities.

1st Annual WitchsFest USA 2012
Witches' Coven to Take Manhattan's Union Square This Summer
3 Feb 2012 05:00 PM EST

The Craft, Charmed and Buffy the Vampire Slayer were things of fantasy to many teens in the 90s, but for some, they were—and in fact still are—inspiration to delve into the dark arts. Some of us have even continued the tradition.
Now, in New York City, something magical is brewing right in the middle of our own Union Square…
According to DNA Info, a coven of witches is putting together WitchFest USA, an event scheduled for July 8 to help them raise money to build a permanent home in Union Square.
The Wiccan Family Temple, a Lower East Side Wicca group, expects 50 vendors and 300 people to attend their event, according to High Priestess Hectuba Hestia. As Gothamist says, the vendors may be "selling items like those found in The Magic Box. Probably." We whole-heartedly agree and approve—because seriously, who doesn't love Buffy and the iconic lesbian witch couple Willow and Tara? Well, at least we do…
According to Hestia, the coven currently meets at a small, rented space at 107 Suffolk Street in an old public school, though they would ideally like to own a building with a backyard to perform rituals. The event will raise money by using "strategically placed wishing wells" for visitors to place donations, but they also plan to both entertain and inform the crowd of their background and practices.
"Being that it's New York, people are accepting," Hestia told DNA Info. "But there's also a lot of misinformation."
Hesita added that she is "definitely a witch," though not all Wiccans identify as witches, nor do all witches practice Wicca. Wicca was created in the 1950s in Britain by Gerald Gardner, and the belief is based around the idea, "An [If] it harm none, do what you will."
Wicca can also be very nature-oriented, like many old religions. Witches cast spells, which function like prayers, and Hestia and her coven use magic wands. She added, however, that they do not believe in or worship the Devil.
Hestia and fellow high priestess Starr Ravenhawk pitched the event to members of the Community Board 5 parks committee this week, also explaining that they plan on featuring Harry Potter-related merchandise as well as a performance by the Brooklyn-based glam/pop girl band Witches in Bikinis.
"You have to realize, you know, it is Union Square Park," Hestia said of the more humorous and cliché attractions. "And there's going to be all sorts of people walking around, not just the people coming for us."
DNA Info says that the Community Board 5 parks committee approved WitchsFest unanimously, and it is now set to go before the full board for a final vote next week.
Will you attend WitchFest? AllMediaNY plans on being there for full coverage—and, with any luck, a glimpse of some of our favorite witch-related TV stars, if word hits Hollywood of the event. Shannen Doherty and Alyson Hannigan, we're looing at you!

Photos from New York's Annual Gathering of Witches

Broadly is a women's interest channel coming soon from VICE. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
WitchsFest 2015 is, in many ways, a typical New York street fair. This weekend, vendors lined the sidewalk; passersby pointedly avoided eye contact with people handing out brochures for various goods and services; and a young girl in a tiara wove through crowds giddily attempting, as she explained to her mom, to photobomb strangers. In other ways, though, it wasn't your standard street fair—the vendors were selling fairy dust, tarot card readings, and sensual steampunk garments; the brochures were for stores that specialize in yoga and healing crystals; and several of the tiara-ed child's photobomb victims were wearing elf ears.
WitchsFest, which is organized by the Wiccan Family Temple, is billed as a pagan street faire-slash-fundraiser. This was its fourth year of existence, though the third nearly didn't happen—in 2014, the local community tried to cancel the event, claiming it didn't have enough of a connection to the neighborhood. But the Wiccan Family Temple prevailed, as witches are wont to do, and the fest this year went on without any resistance.
The crowd looked exactly as you'd expect a crowd of polite pagans to: Near the corner of Lafayette and Astor Place, a woman swathed in pink gauze was holding a lecture on goddess worship. About a block away, two members of the Brooklyn–Queens Ecumenical Pagan Fellowship explained their relationship with the divine to an inquisitive young man in a polo shirt. And, across the street, a woman in a witch hat filmed a small choir of madrigal singers in assorted mythological accessories.
Like basically every milliennial woman who didn't fit in in high school, I strongly identify with witches. I like that they wear all black; I like that they are powerful and self-sufficient; I smiled and nodded approvingly when I read that the whole riding-on-brooms rumor originates from the fact that they would take hallucinogens vaginally by putting them on the end of a broomstick. I especially like that witches are threatening to a male-dominated society, which is a tradition many of WitchsFest attendees continue to honor.
"This planet has been male-dominated for too long," said a man clad in a headdress and sunglasses and clutching an ankh scepter. With his wife—the aforementioned woman wrapped in pink—he runs the Network for the Realization of the Goddess , a Dianic spirituality circle devoted to "helping women find and nurture that direct connection with the spark of the Divine Feminine inside of us" through meditation and guided discussion. (He gave me a pamphlet.) "Now we're ready for energies to be balanced again, both male and female," he added before bowing the ankh scepter in blessing.
The madrigal singers—a choir from Kalamazoo called the Bell Book and Canto—have a less spiritual, but arguably equally effective, way of achieving that gender balance. "All the good drinking songs and wenching songs are written for men," lamented their group leader, Jennifer Jones. "We, as women, like to drink and get drunk and do stupid stuff, and so we believe that we ought to have music that reflects that." In 2016, thus, Bell Book and Canto is coming out with an album called Poor Life Choices. One song, "I Came to Faire," details the story of a woman who returns to a renaissance faire—having gotten blackout drunk and subsequently pregnant the previous year—in order to determine the father's identity. Another, "Big Little Problem," tells of a woman who "breaks up with her lord because he's not well enough endowed for her," as Jones gently (and mirthfully) put it.
One stall away, I spoke to two women who participate in annual Maenad rituals—an orgiastic ritual to Dionysus, conducted away from the presence of men. "We do the Maenad ritual for Ostara, which is in the beginning of the pagan year," explained a woman named Natalie who was wearing feathered wings. "This one time of the year, [the women involved in the ritual] would be able to go into the woods [and] take off most of their clothes. They'd have ecstatic dance and trance, and they'd eat poisonous herbs and berries and, you know, trip out. When they'd get a little hungry, they'd just catch animals, rip them open, and eat them raw."
"We don't do that stuff," she added. "That's just what the ritual's based on: that concept of being able to let go of all of your responsibility and chains." (But really, even with the tearing apart of live animals, the Maenad ritual does sound sort of like Coachella—especially since the women involved choose to wear "ripped-up tutus.")
The idea of sincerely practicing witchcraft isn't something many would take seriously—Wicca still struggles for mainstream acceptance in a lot of ways. However, I was struck by how thoughtful many of the people I interviewed were. When I asked one of the representatives from the Brooklyn–Queens Ecumenical Pagan Fellowship whether he really believes in pagan deities, he responded, "My relationship with my gods is very centered on Plato and his idea of the universe being this unknowable thing; really, all that matters is my relationship to it. I guess you could say that I see my gods as almost Jungian psychological metaphors in a way."
Of course, not everyone was quite so straightforward with me. When I asked the headdressed priest from the Network for the Realization of the Goddess how he and his wife first met, he responded, "We've been soul mates for ten thousand years." Noting my perplexed stare, he started laughing. "I know that doesn't answer your question," he said. He refused to elaborate further.

AES E-Library
The Effects of Voice-Coil Axial Rest Position on Amplitude Modulation Distortion in Loudspeakers
The magnetic field in the air gap of a conventional loudspeaker motor is most often an asymmetric nonlinear function of axial position. Placement of the voice-coil into this asymmetrical field yields an asymmetric nonlinear force-factor, Bl, which is a primary cause of amplitude modulation distortion in loudspeakers. Adjustment of the rest position of the voice-coil in this field can alter the nature of this modulation distortion. Common practice is to nominally set the voice-coil at the geometric center of the gap or at the position generating maximum Bl. A time-domain nonlinear simulator has been used to investigate effects of voice-coil placement in an asymmetric flux field on amplitude modulation distortion.

Polyakov's OOM Killer Tamer
Evgeniy Polyakov has released a patch to the kernel's out-of-memory (OOM) killer function, which was designed to prevent a system freeze in an OOM condition by sacrificing one or more processes. The patch "tames" the function by defining the specific process to kill.
As the Hungarian HUP UNIX portal announces, kernel contributor Polyakov distributed a mail message with the subject "Linux killed Kenny", which has raised some eyebrows. His patch is in response to the kernel's OOM killer function, a remedy familiar to some seasoned Linux users who have had to resort to "Ctrl+Alt+SysRq,R,E,I,S,U,B" to restart their system after experiencing a freeze due to an OOM error.
Since version 2.6, the kernel has used a "badness" scoring algorithm to find the best candidate process or processes to sacrifice in case of an OOM error. However, Polyakov claims that this OOM killer often goes "quite berserk" by nixing processes that the user didn't really want to nix, such as Firefox instead of OpenOffice or KWin instead of Java.
Polyakov thought it best to make the process to kill user-specifiable. The code has the hypothetical "Kenny" as the default "victim" process, but he changed it later in the program to an empty variable. The patch installer should substitute the actual process name by calling:
echo Java > /proc/sys/vm/oom_victim
The solution is not without its critics. Alan Cox, for example, responded in the thread that the kernel already has the /proc/self/oom_adj interface that "does the job far better." The complete thread starts here.

How getting a manicure could ruin your nails forever
- From: Daily Mail
- December 03, 2013
WHEN Antonia Mariconda studies old photos of herself, she finds her eyes drawn to her elegantly manicured hands and nails.
"I used to get so many comments about my nails," says the 36-year-old author and TV presenter.
"It was my little treat to get them done regularly at a local nail bar. I was proud of the way they looked."
But the attractive brunette, who lives in the West Midlands, UK, with her doctor husband and two children, is now paying the price for her favourite beauty treat.
For Antonia regularly had acrylic nails applied - false nails which come with a white painted tip and are held on to the natural nails by painting acrylic glue on top. Years of this treatment have caused lasting damage to her nails, which are now jagged, wafer thin, ingrown at the edges and prone to breaking whenever she performs the smallest of household chores.
"I wish I had known that beneath the elegant, polished exterior, my nails were really suffering.
"They not only look awful but they're really sensitive. When I was playing with my son the other day, I bashed them by mistake and it hurt so much, I wept.
"I'm so selfconscious about my hands now. I constantly apologise for the way they look and try to keep them hidden."
Antonia has been told it will take at least a year for her weakened nails to recover and they may never be as strong as they once were. It's all down to the newer breed of hi-tech manicures.
These more aggressive styles of nail treatment - a long way from the old-fashioned, straightforward file and polish - are leaving women vulnerable to infections, rashes and even skin cancer.
Poor regulation of the nail industry in the UK is heightening the problem. Currently, there is no legal requirement to be licensed as a manicurist and no qualifications are needed. Anyone at all can pick up a nail file and start advertising for clients.
It's a worryingly lax state of affairs - particularly if Antonia's experience is anything to go by.
Her problems began when she was persuaded by her manicurist that her nails would look better for longer if she tried acrylic tips.
"The first time I had them done, I was really pleased," she said.
"They looked really natural and I didn't need to polish them in between manicures. Even the tips, which usually take a bashing because I use the computer a lot, weren't chipped."
But when Antonia returned to the salon to have them replaced, it was a different story.
Removing the acrylic coating was to prove much harder than applying it. As she quickly discovered, it could only be removed by sanding it off her nails.
"They said they needed to file the surface of my nails down so the new acrylics would go on better. But they filed so aggressively that my nail bed started to bleed through my nail.
"I also noticed the manicurist didn't throw away the file, which didn't seem at all hygienic."
Yet Antonia wanted that glossy nail look to last - and so she persisted with the treatment for several more visits. Eventually, unable to take the agony of the filing any more, Antonia decided to go au naturel.
But when they were removed for good, she discovered that the nails left under the acrylic coating were paper thin, painful and sensitive.
"Three days later, every single one of my natural nails had broken back to the quick."
Dermatologist Dr Nick Lowe, president of the British Cosmetic Dermatology Group, warns of the dangers of this sort of aggressive nail treatment.
"Vigorous scraping and filing can lead to permanent damage where the nail lifts from the nail bed," he says.
"There is also risk of infection if manicure instruments are not sterilised properly. Fungal infections, bacteria and viruses such as herpes can all be passed on."
He advises that those who like a professional manicure should take their own tools to the salon to reduce the risk of infection.
Some nail varnishes and hardeners also contain ingredients such as formaldehyde, which can trigger an allergic reaction.
"The nail is an extension of your skin. It is grown from skin cells and it's porous. If the nail or nail bed becomes damaged, it can take a long time to repair," says Dr Lowe.
But it's not just acrylics that are causing problems. Gel manicures - which involve a coloured gel being applied to the nails, hardened under a UV light and then removed with acetone weeks later - are also hugely popular, but could be posing a serious risk to women's health.
Dermatologists are also worried that the use of UV light could be raising the risk of skin cancer.
A study in 2009 found two middle-aged women with no family history of skin cancer, and only moderate exposure to sunlight, developed tumours on their hands following exposure to UV nail lights.
"I would strongly suggest that women limit having this treatment to once or twice a year," says Dr Lowe.
But there are plenty of women out there - such as Karen Berman, 61 - who have gel manicures far more regularly.
"I'm a bit of a beauty junkie and I try everything," says Karen, managing director of a London consultancy firm. "So when I was told about these two-week manicures a few years ago, I was excited to try them."
But six months in, Karen's natural nails looked awful. "It looked as though they had been eaten away at the sides. I was so shocked, I stopped the gel manicures and didn't put anything on them at all for two months because they were so damaged."
Thanks to months of careful attention and application of nail oils, her nails are now regrowing, but Karen worries that the chemicals and UV exposure involved could cause her problems in the long term.
And while gel manicures may be problematic in many ways, in the hands of an inexperienced practitioner, the issues are magnified horribly.
Accounts assistant Rebecca Mills, 26, found this out to her cost in July when she had her gel nails removed by a newly qualified - and, as she would later find out, uninsured - beautician. The mother of two watched in horror as her nails were filed right down to the nail bed.
"By the time I realised what was going on, the damage had been done. That night, my fingers were throbbing so much, I had to take painkillers.
"Now, I realise the girl had never removed gel nails before. So she just filed and filed away at the surface of my nail until most of it was gone."

- Difference between Modular kitchen & Semi Modular Kitchen
- Who Else is Lying to Us about Cost of Modular Kitchen ?
In India, it is common for people to use term "Modular Kitchen" for all purpose. However technically there is difference in Modular Kitchen & Semi Modular Kitchen. Most of the Indian Home Owners who are buying Modular kitchen are buying really "Semi Modular Kitchen"
Lets understand the difference: Modular Kitchen allows you to dismantle whole Kitchen, move it to a new apartment & Fix it again. It is that simple. Whereas with Semi Modular Kitchen there is minor difference.
lets say you bought a new House – inside kitchen, builder has given you Kitchen Platform made out of Marble with Granite Counter-top. These are hard built inside your kitchen by Civil work professionals. On top of this existing platform you add Trolleys, shutters which Machine pressed with cool Finish. Hence what you have really done is used a platform made using Civil work & added Trolleys shutters, cabinets – all made out as per Modular Kitchen standards. if you were planning to move, you can dismantle trolleys, cabinets, shutters & perhaps try to use it at new place. Platform granite & marble you can dismantle. You either leave it as it is or break it apart. But you cannot re-use it. Secondly. lets say you moved & carried your trolleys, cabinets, shutters etc to new place. You can re-use these items only if they fit in to new platform. What if this new place had marble/granite platform already built for different size & combination of trolleys?
However with fully Modular Kitchen, there is no Civil work involved – give me a empty Kitchen with all required electrical & plumbing points – I will setup Modular kitchen in 2 – 3 days. You can dismantle it, carry it when you move, & fix it again.
In Indian homes by default – we use "Semi – Modular Kitchen" i.e – we call Civil professionals to build a Kitchen Platform out of Marble with a Granite Counter-top & then we call in Modular Kitchen Specialist to complete the kitchen.

I recently have situation where my laptop can heat to 105 degrees and shut down. I think shutting down is some bios/laptop internal protection, because it doesn't just gracefully shut down the system, but cut the power off.
Anyway, I wonder if I can configure it somehow to throttle-down CPU if it exceeds some threshold, say 100 degree.
I use Ubuntu 11.10.

High Court Strikes Down Overall Limits On Political Contributions
The Supreme Court on Wednesday took out a major pillar of campaign finance limits. The justices ruled a donor may give the maximum amount to as many federal candidates or committees as they wish.
We're also following this news. The Supreme Court has struck down another piece of decades-old campaign finance law. This time, the court eliminated the cap on how much individuals can donate at any single election cycle. There are still limits to how much you can give to any one candidate or political action committee. But there's no limit anymore on the total amount you may spread around, if you want to.
This ruling came after the court opened the door to unlimited spending by corporations and unions. And we start our coverage with NPR's Nina Totenberg.
NINA TOTENBERG, BYLINE: The court's decision left in ruins most of the reforms adopted by Congress beginning 40 years ago, to curb corruption. And while the conservative court majority left some reform provisions intact, there were hints more would be on the chopping block soon.
The decision erased the cap on the total amount of money that individual donors can contribute to candidates and parties in each election cycle. Until yesterday, the aggregate limit was $123,000. Now, there is no limit. Writing for the court majority, Chief Justice John Roberts acknowledged that big donors may have more influence. But he said that is not enough to justify limiting their right to give the maximum contribution to as many candidates as they wish. Any limits imposed must be aimed at preventing something close to bribery, he said, a quid pro quo.
Speaking for the defenders, Justice Stephen Breyer took the unusual step of announcing his opinion from the bench. Where money calls the tune, the voices of the people will not be heard, he said, and a cynical public can lose interest in political participation altogether.

Hep and advice needed!
Hi I'm new and only 16, I want some advice I'm hoping to get a career inthe gaming industry, I'm great at drawing and designing things I do art, technology and design and am pretty good at maths, but have no real experience on programming or making games on the computer the closest I get to that is designing shapes and devices on the computer in school and halo 3/reach forge lol. I'm not great at English (story and writing in general) but I have a great natural skill were I can
Capture my ideas in my head and draw them out great, I can draw whole paintings and landscapes just from my head (not sure if it's a good skill and everyone else can do it).
I understand it's not easy and it's not just sitting on your back side playing games all day but I often find my self staring at the games graphics and landscape and objects and how the look when I am playing Games.
Do you think I could make it in to game design or what is your advice, will I get into computer programming more?
Being able to communicate your designs by drawing them is definitely a helpful skill when designing games. But if graphics are what appeal to you the most, you might be happier creating assets for games as an artist.
You're only 16, you don't have to shut out possibilities just yet. Find people who can program, and possibly people who can create stories and make a game. See if there's a game creation club at your school: if not, make one.
While you don't need to be a master programmer, I would suggest taking a few intro courses so you know where their concerns lie and can communicate with them better.
You should also look into GameMaker or RPGMaker. While both have scripting languages of their own, but don't require you to use it if your mechanics aren't too ambitious. GameMaker has a free version, and while RPGMaker does cost some money (XP is around $20-$25) it has an extremely intuitive editor for top down 3rd person RPGs.
So you wanna be a concept artist
2. Yes, it's a good skill, not everybody can do it. Sounds kinda like "concept art" to me.
3. No. A game designer has to be great at English. But maybe a concept artist?
4. Read. Read, read, read.
5. No, that's crazy! You said you're an artist. Why on earth would you torture yourself with programming?
Here's what to read:
Read FAQs 7, 10, 25, 34, 44, 24, and 27
oopss.. you're quite to young for your age..

Apple's iPad 2 has already been made available in the US and will hit UK shelves within the next two weeks. However, should you plump for Apple's latest tablet or opt for one of its competitiors that run Google Android?
The Motorola Xoom, the first device to run Honeycomb, the tablet-optimised version of Google Android, will be made available in the UK on April 9.
The W-Fi only version of the device will be available through Currys, PC World, Dixons and Pixmania, priced at £499. A Wi-Fi and 3G version will be made available through the Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy later this year, but while the device is available to pre-order SIM-free for £599, availability dates have yet to be released.
Considering the wave of Android tablets expected to launch later this year - is it wise to opt for the Xoom as soon as it is released Or would you be better off taking a wait-and-see approach?
Here are some things to keep in mind if you're still on the fence.
Motorola Xoom: If you're champing at the bit for a Honeycomb tablet...
...get the Xoom. As Google's inaugural Honeycomb tablet - and the device that the Android team actually used to develop the Honeycomb software - the Xoom has a huge advantage in the timing department. Other Honeycomb tablets are still undergoing testing and development, with release dates limited to fairly vague terms; LG's T-Mobile G-Slate, for example, is "expected to be available this spring" (some rumours have pointed to late March, but that date has not been confirmed). The recently announced Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 also has no firm release date so far.
If you're excited about Honeycomb and want to get your hands on a high-quality Android tablet ASAP, the Xoom is the way to go.
Motorola Xoom: If a 10.1-inch tablet seems about right for you...
...get the Xoom. Other Honeycomb tablets, like the Galaxy Tab 10.1, will match the Xoom's size - but (1) they aren't here and (2) we have no indications that they'll offer any significant advantages other than subtle design differences. The Tab, for example, lacks a memory card slot and USB port, both of which are present in the Xoom. It does, however, have a slightly slimmer profile - by 0.07in -and weighs about 0.3 pounds less.
Let me put it this way: If you think one of the future tablets' designs might suit you better and you don't mind waiting, hang tight till you can properly compare.
NEXT PAGE: Even more reasons to buy the Xoom
- Should you buy the Xoom or wait for a competitior?
- Even more reasons to buy the Xoom
Should you shell out for Motorola's Xoom tablet now or wait till more competitors arrive? Here are some things to consider if you're still on the fence.
Motorola Xoom: If you're sold on the idea of a smaller tablet...
...wait. As more and more Android tablets arrive on the market, we'll see plenty of options in terms of sizes. The Xoom is likely to remain on the larger end of the spectrum; if you prefer something with a smaller screen that's easier to tote around, the Xoom might not be the right tablet for you.
Motorola Xoom: If you value a 'pure' and regularly updated Android experience...
...go with the Xoom. While some other manufacturers are promising to keep their clunky proprietary interfaces off of their Honeycomb tablets - thank goodness - the fact remains that the Xoom is the device that Google's Android team is using to test and develop the Honeycomb OS. If any tablet will have an advantage when it comes to timely Android upgrades, the Xoom will be it.
As for the heavily modified tablets, such as the HTC Flyer, forget about it. The Flyer is launching with a version of Android Gingerbread that has HTC's Sense interface baked into the OS. If you like what it has to offer, that's great - but if you want Honeycomb and you want Google's future updates to the platform, a "pure" Google device is the way to go.
Motorola Xoom: About that whole Flash thing
One final point is worth mentioning: Initially it was thought the Xoom would launch without Adobe Flash support - one of the tablet's key selling points, particularly compared with Apple's famously Flash-free approach. Adobe had said a software update would enable Flash for the Xoom "within a few weeks" of the tablet's launch.
However, Motorola has since announced on its Official Twitter account http://twitter.com/Motorola/status/46027762670108672 it is rolling out a Motorola Xoom update in phases and it "includes required enhancements to support upcoming Adobe Flash Player 10.2".
It is currently unknown whether the update will be preloaded on the tablet PC when it hits the UK but at least Brits will be able to download the update once they've got their hands on the device.

We have so many goals in life—to be a good parent, a dutiful daughter, to save money, to save the planet, to take better care of my health—and many more. But how often do we achieve these goals? How often do we even try?
The answer is: as often as we are called to action. The examples are numerous. BJ Fogg, in his Maastricht Medicine 2.0 presentation, showed a very short video where he tells people to "get up and have a vegetable—now!" That's it. Does it work? It's certainly better than not saying this. And surely some of the viewers got up and reached for a cucumber, tomato, or whatever vegetable they chose. All because of this simple, concrete, call to action.
Doing good is a far more noble cause than consuming greens. And, admittedly, and a far more vague one. You don't just get up and reach for a good deed, do you? An email from Vani Sastri, a Wharton senior and a former student of mine, helped me achieve my goal of becoming a better person. Vani is the kind of person who lights up a room, so it was no wonder that I was thrilled when she emailed with the request to contribute to Make a Wish—an organization that makes wishes come true for kids who were diagnosed with a life threatening illness. Vani in particular was involved with the goal of sending Austin, a 17 year old teenager battling with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, to the Olympics. Would I think it's a worthy cause and a good idea even without her email? Definitely. Would I seek out the organization and make a donation? Let's be honest—most likely not. What made the difference was the clear call to action—a small, well-defined goal—that needs to be accomplished now. Not next week, or when I have the time…
And this is where health kicks in. If you leave it as a desirable, yet large, vague and intangible goal—'to take better care of my health'—it's unlikely to happen. But if there's a clear and well defined step to take—preferably an immediate one: eat a vegetable, do yoga after work, have one slice of cake instead of two, then you are likely to take it. If you turn this into a habit—even better. But this is for next time.
To send Austin to the Olympics:
To help make sick children's wishes come true:

Do you know how sumo wrestlers "get fat"? They skip breakfast!
To their detriment, many athletes think skipping breakfast will help them "get thin" by saving a few calories. Wrong! Think again!
My typical weight-conscious client complains, "Every time I go on a diet, I end up blowing my diet and gaining weight." This has little to do with will power but rather physiology. Just as a person cannot breathe normally after staying underwater for too long, a dieter cannot eat normally after having eaten too little food for too long. That's the physiology of hunger. The body wants to overcompensate for the perceived "famine" (diet).
My words of wisdom to dieters are: If you want to lose weight, enjoy a hearty breakfast and lunch, and then "diet" at the end of the day so you can lose weight when you are sleeping, not when you are trying to train and perform well. Please, do not eat like a sumo wrestler!
With best wishes for high energy and low body fat,

Exploring the Zend Studio 4 developer environment
PHP experts consider Zend Studio the most mature and feature-rich IDE for PHP. The latest version offers enhanced database manipulation and other improvements. We'll put the Zend Studio IDE through its paces and show you how you can use it to speed up PHP development.
The choice of an integrated development environment is often a matter of taste. Many PHP developers prefer text editors like Emacs or Vim. Developers who favor a more integrated approach have several choices in the Linux world. The free Quanta Plus IDE, the closed source Maguma environment, and even Eclipse (with the right set of plug-ins) are all genuine alternatives to an editor. For PHP developers, EditionZend Studio has the reputation of being one of the most mature and powerful IDEs. Zend Studio is the brainchild of Israel's Zend Software, a vendor that prefers to be known as "The PHP Company." Older versions often suffered from performance problems or instability, but the latest version, Zend Studio 4, is an extremely powerful and stable developer environment. Zend Studio is neither Open Source, nor is it free of charge, although US$ 249 is a fair asking price. You can download a trial version from the Zend website. The test version is full-featured for the 21 day trial period and then degrades to the "Zend Studio Personal Edition," a non-commercial version that disables so many useful features it is not really worth the effort (see the box titled "Zend Studio Personal Edition").

The Things They Carried
by Tim O'Brien
Character Role Analysis
Jimmy Cross
Jimmy Cross is ostensibly the leader of the group, but he's a weird kind of leader. While he's the officer, and therefore tells the group where they need to be and what they need to do, that is the only way in which he leads.
He's not a moral leader, a social leader, or a remotely inspirational leader. He's not the leader because he's best suited for that role; he's the leader because the army chose him to be the leader.

As expected, the very serious knee injury of Robert Griffith III will keep him out of the Pro Bowl and will vault first alternate Drew Brees into the game. Brees will join Thomas Morstead and Jahri Evans as the Saints players going to the all star game. Many congrats to Brees on making the Pro Bowl yet again, making this is sixth trip with the Saints and seventh overall as a pro. Only Willie Roaf has been to more Pro Bowls as a Saint, seven times. That wasn't the only piece of big news yesterday as the Saints officially dotted the i's and crossed the t's to get Sean Payton's signature and make the contract official. There had been a previous report that they had agreed to the deal "in principle" but the signature is now official and it's been submitted to the league for approval. It could still get rejected, though, so don't get too excited until Roger Goodell decides not to screw over this Saints this time.

Hi there,
I seem to have developed a problem with my blog that I can't resolve on my own and am therefore turning to you guys for assistance.
My blog used to work fine until some time yesterday afternoon. I installed a few extra plugins:
Corrector > http://vanus01.net/?page_id=55
Feedburner Feed Replacer > http://orderedlist.com/articles/wordpress-feedburner-plugin/
Trackback Validator > http://trackback.cs.rice.edu/
Tiger Style Administration > http://orderedlist.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-tiger-administration/
I use WP-Cache to prevent loading on my site and noticed later in the day that an error 500 page was appearing. I cleared my cache and the same thing happened. I've turned off the cache and found that all pages stop loading when the loop calls the <div class="storycontent"> point is reached.
I've run my site through the validator and it has 6 errors. These are generated because the loop doesn't complete. The problem occurs with any of the themes I have available and I've disabled all of the plugins listed above.
My site is: http://www.abouthere.co.uk/blog
Any help is gratefully received.

1. The increased pain mixed with rage you feel when someone says: "Oh just drink some water, it'll go away."
2. The severe pain mixed with rage you feel when someone says: "I get headaches sometimes too."
3. The desire to punch someone when you hear: "I think I've had a migraine before." Trust me, you would definitely know if you had one before!
4. When you tell someone you have a migraine and they proceed to ask you a ton of questions about your migraines.
5. How immediately and viscerally upsetting totally innocent suggestions are from people who are trying to help.
6. Basically, people just speaking to you at all is not OK. (Also, why does a whisper sound like a yell? Please stop talking.)
7. The feeling of solidarity when you find people who also really suffer from migraines (though also being sure yours are the worst).
8. The horror of realizing one of your favorite foods or beverages is a trigger.
10. Always walking around with the knowledge that at any random point, you could get one…sometimes for no real reason at all…
11. And then, all of a sudden, you feel one coming and know you only have a few minutes to make it back to your bed.
12. Having to curl up in an awkward, semi-hidden public space because the migraine hit too fast for you to get home.
14. The horrible feeling when you know your migraine has peaked and there's no going back. Even with strong meds, you just have to ride it out.
15. When you finally find a dark enough room and someone walks in and turns on the lights!
16. The inability to look at any type of screen, EVEN YOUR PHONE. Actually, just opening your eyes to look at anything is out of the question.
17. Regardless of how many important things you have on your schedule the day one hits, you're down for many, many hours, if not days.
18. Starving because this migraine has been going on for 8 hours but being way too nauseous to eat anything.
19. Truly knowing the magical powers of caffeine and feeling there is not enough in the world for you to consume.
20. The mystery of why can't anyone else see things floating right over there.
21. Migraine spins.
22. Having to decide which you'd rather have during the workweek: migraine pain or medicine drowsiness? (Never the migraine pain but you do think about it for a second).
23. Knowing the Excedrin Migraine recall of 2012 was one of our nation's greatest disasters.
24. Forgetting whether you've gotten close to the dosage limit for ibuprofen/naproxen/etc but still needing more medicine.
25. Having to use the restroom but being literally unable to move.
26. The profound medical advance that is the idea of ice goggles. Also maybe the ice helmet.
27. Knowing what true claustrophobia feels like because this a special pain that you actually feel like you're living inside of.
28. Overcoming the migraine but being left with a migraine hangover for days.
29. But coming out of it and feeling like you can conquer anything now that you've conquered that!

I had a bottle from 2012 that was stodgy, stuffy, and suffocating.My current bottle (2014 batch) is lighter in color and far superior to the old one that I sold. I think they may have modernized it.
EDT is a winner.
Like the post above me, Creed Bois Du Portugal.
Creed Bois Du Portugal. It's absurdly good.
Versace Pour Homme Oud Noir can be had for around $60.
Definitely Enigma. Also, HdP Ambrarem.
As MegaMav said, Versace Oud Noir.
So I have been wanting a bottle of Oud Noir for a while, but alas, the only American vendor that stocked it was Macy's for $155. Also, I had been reading reports of fakes floating around on this one...
That's because your 88 is probably oxidized. I had a 4 year old bottle that I sold. It was stodgy, stuffy, old-mannish, etc. I ordered a new bottle 6 months ago. It is yellow/green in color and it...
One spray under a shirt is too much for me. Three to the neck? I'd die of asphyxiation.
Let me guess. You're a doctor. You are the pinnacle of fashion. You are superior to everyone else. Am I correct? Or am I way off base.
Puredistance m!!!!!!!
I do 1 spray under my shirt, low on my chest, and it works great. However, my Puredistance M is infinitely more wearable on a day-to-day basis.
What you talking about remik?!?!?!??! I rock that Diaghilev I bought from you, and I am not Peggy Bundy, nor do I claim to have big bull cajones! LOL!
I find that Roja fragrances scratch my itch for richness. I have not found anything else out there, as of yet, that satisfies me as much as Roja fragrances do.
I can't stand this one. It would make my stomach churn every time I smelled it.
Versace Man Eau Fraiche is a good one
Spotted 4 100mL bottles of Versace Man (purple box) at TJ Maxx for $59.
Easily Bois Du Portugal for me
Original Santal by Creed
Usually, it's not about online sellers selling counterfeit product, but about them using the company's logos, artwork, and other intellectual properties when advertising said product online. I may be...
Thanks for the thoughts guys. And remik, I was hoping you would chime in also. If it is more herbal than leather, I may pass. I dunno.
Hey everyone! I own and love Puredistance M, Bois Du Portugal, and Fetish Pour Homme. Something about Moschino Pour Homme has always intrigued me, perhaps the fact that it's a discontinued...
Nice problem to have remik! I bet that stuff smells amazing!
This thread should be re-titled: " I don't have the money to afford these things, so I will justify my non-purchase of said items by getting people to reinforce my negative opinion on them."
Spray it on your balls.
That's definitely weird.
Hopefully the projection and sillage will be so intense that Batman will have trouble sneaking up on foes.
Either that bottle is huge or the model has an extremely small head.
I wore Fetish Pour Homme yesterday, changed shirts, and noticed the most wonderful stink ass smell coming from my chest with the new shirt. The top and mid notes stayed on the previous shirt, and...
Puredistance M
WOW! I ordered my bottle from ebay this Saturday and it's already here, all the way from California to Tennessee. What a kick-butt seller!
For $20, how could I pass it up? ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN! CHOO-CHOO!
Plus, I am a sucker for vetiver tempered with a dash of sweetness. And some spice on top to boot? Yeah buddy!
Creed Bois du Portugal, Dirty English, Carbone de Balmain, Terre d'Hermes.
Bois du Portugal kind of a day
I went ahead and ordered a bottle due to your impressions.
I echo Mr.Hunter's recommendation on Enigma.
You've gotta try Creed Bois Du Portugal
Creed Original Santal is oh-so-cuddly
The vetiver pops in and out of existence in the duration of a wear for me. My newest bottle has a more prominent note than my last.
Puredistance M for me. I love the complexity and nuance of this one. When applied lightly, the golden drydown has hints of vague, spicy sweetness. And the oakmoss? Incredible!
Roja Dove Fetish Pour Homme
Personally, I would rather spend $200 a piece for 4 killer fragrances instead of $100 a piece for 8 mediocre scents.
Don't waste too much money on cheapies. I've got a closet full of cheapies that I never use. Save your money for the stuff that you really really want.
Definitely Eau Sauvage
Roja Dove Enigma Pour Homme
Probably the aftershave balm
The EDP is an absolute beast. Be careful with the spray count or it gets a little rude.
More corporate shills or employees of retailers posting as regular folk on the forums specifically to sow seeds of doubt and discontent amongst the group regarding purchases of fragrances from...
And it's EDP and only $89. (Sold out on their website though)
Ya'll got that octupus beak batch?
Sounds pretty good. Notes: peach, lemon, blackcurrant, orange, mandarin, and bergamot, the cologne also exudes hints of sage and amber with leather tones and a smokey wood finish.
I concur with this statement.
Tom Ford Noir, Tom Ford Extreme, Tom Ford For Men, YSL L'Homme Intense, Maison Martin Margiela Jazz Club, Gucci Pour Homme II, Burberry London, Dior Eau Sauvage, Prada Amber Pour Homme, Dior Homme...
My only problem I have with mall shops is with their insistence that I try all of their cheap-ass Brand X fragrances that suck so bad. I imagine they push their house brand stuff because of the...
This is a pretty dumb thread.
And also, if you want to argue your "marketing over manliness" idea, it would probably help to bring across points about the marketing instead of just bashing the...
Thanks. And this time around, they have actually shipped it, as opposed to what happened with the whole Green Valley deal that fell through a few weeks back.
Actually hedonist, yes they will. I got 6 samples with my 60mL Puredistance purchase 2 months ago. I only requested 3, BTW.
We shall see soon. My bottle I purchased from Fragrancenet 2 years ago was fantastic. I am looking forward to seeing if this new bottle (sold by Amazon) is up to snuff or if it smells any different...
Get the 60. And as Kumquat mentioned, LuckyScent will hook you up with a load of samples.
They still have them. I just got a 4.0oz bottle of Bois Du Portugal from them for $165 a few days ago.
The cheap way? Amazon or Fragrancenet. Like Hednic said, there is no substitute.
I was about to state that I get compliments all the time from the ladies, however, now I am reluctant to admit it due to stanmar's story. Apparently I am like George Costanza.
I like Invasion Barbare pretty well. The name is "MDCI" by the way.
Facconable perhaps?
Big bottle it is then! Anyone ordered from Dior online? Is shipping pretty quick?
So I have been yearning to get a bottle of Leather Oud for a while now. The recent price increase sucks, but the price per mL still seems fair enough. Recently, someone made a post about bottle size...
My email came today around 1pm central.
When I placed my order, I was the original thread starter BTW, there were still 9 bottles "in stock." That's when I informed you guys about the listing. Sometimes Amazon says it takes 1-2 extra days...
Thanks guys! I am pretty bummed, but I was prepared for it regardless. I probably won't wait it out. I will either buy a new bottle of Himalaya or Aventus or drop some bucks on a big bottle of...
Well gentleman,
It appears that the too good to be true Green Valley for under $100 was indeed too good to be true. They have sent me an email update saying that they are still trying to fulfill...
I own M and I love it. Like Jack said above me, it is incredibly strong, so apply sparingly. I'm working through a large sample of Black right now. It is unisex, but it swings a little femme on...
Go big or go home my friend.
Lalique Encre Noire
It means that hednic has 8 quadrillion bottles, so even if he didn't like it, he probably doesn't remember it.
Puredistance M on this lovely dreary day in Tennessee.
I had it and sold it. The fragrance was sugar water violet leaf on my skin.
b3t0_1972, I sure would like that Epic Man. THANKS!
Pure Leather is my favorite right now. I hated Pure Havane and I have not tried Pure Malt.
Original Old Spice reminds me of my Granddad. He always had a splash bottle of it on his bathroom counter. I used to douse myself with it when I was a kid because I wanted to be like my Pa.
Give me that Straight to Heaven MFfan310! Thanks!
Sorry TLS, but summer is around the corner. I'm gonna have to take that Millesime Imperial off of your hands!
Nautica Voyage for $20, and spend the rest of your money on taking girls out.
Tom Ford Extreme
Thanks for the heads up guys. Maybe I'll just snatch up some Clive Christian X.
Hey folks! I recently purchased Puredistance M, which I am hugely fond of, and I have decided to add another fragrance to the stable soon. I've read that Fetish shares some similarities with M, and...
New York Oud. I don't know if it's the rose or plum , but I just can't handle any amount of it.
I have a suspicion that a lot of people that complain about longevity of many fragrances do indeed overspray. Anosmia is a real bummer.
If you believe that M is nothing but curry and kitchen spice, either your nose doesn't work properly, or you didn't give it the time to get to the incredible dry down.
Also, don't overapply M. It...
Original Santal is an excellent fragrance.
Puredistance M all the way. I never get bored of this stuff.
L'instant for me.
My vote goes towards Roadster.
1-2 max either season. This stuff is nuclear powered.
You should add a good leather. Puredistance M, Hermes Bel Ami, or Tom Ford Tuscan Leather should do the trick.
Once you get a little more air in your bottle the alcohol kick will go away.
Shoulda gone ahead and pulled that trigger my friend.

Hi there,
I've moved a WordPress site to a new server host. I've followed the documentation here on WordPress on how to make the move (and I've read about 20 tutorials), and still the move didn't go smoothly.
There are no pages, posts, media, nothing. The theme is there, but that's about it. I also thought it was weird that I was directed to the /install.php -url.
What is the most common reason for this?
Is it something in the database?
I'd be really thankful for ANY suggestions out there!

HAZEL GREEN, Ala. (AP) - Madison County authorities say a sheriff's department employee was shot and killed by deputies shortly after he killed his wife in a hostage situation.
Sheriff's department officials said Madison County Corrections Officer Jason Lee Earls shot and killed his wife and then was shot by deputies.
Sheriff's investigator Chad Brooks said deputies were called to a Hazel Green home at about 1:40 a.m. Sunday and found Earls threatening his wife with a handgun. Brooks said Earls then dragged his wife outside and held the gun to her head. Brooks said Earls then shot his wife deputies then fired shots, killing Earls.
The name of Earls' wife was not immediately released.

Overanalyzing Rupert Murdoch's New Handwritten News Corp. Logo
"It has no emotion and no passion."
With the splitting of Rupert Murdoch's company in two — 21st Century Fox for the profitable television and film business and News Corp. for the much weaker publishing unit — comes the opportunity for reinvention. "Passionate. Principled. Purposeful," as Robert Thompson, CEO of the scandal-marred News Corp., put it while "unveiling a new logo that will be our emblem for this future." It's supposed to be homegrown and from the heart: "The name is historic and the script is based on the writing of Rupert and his father, who have provided us all with not only a name, but a remarkable professional platform." But while Thompson cited the company's "well-known relentless, restless spirit of invention," "start-up sensibility," and "creativity," handwriting experts see something more conservative, or even fake.
"It has no emotion and no passion," Sheila Kurtz-Collier, founder and president of Graphology Consulting, told Daily Intelligencer. "It looks filled with stress — probably from the person who was trying to [re-create] it. It's not very smooth." The new logo, she said, "is in-your-face heavy and blunt as a blackjack, with little style and zero passion."
Eileen Page, another handwriting expert, was a bit more generous. "It certainly represents what they say they want it to represent: relentlessness, passion, endurance," she said. But: "Creative and inspirational? Not sure this signature does it." The penmanship, Page said, is old-school and traditional. "The dangling s seems to try to give an air of individuality and breaking norms — but other stuff is so powerful, the overall script is still very conservative."
"Breaks between letters in News means some intuition, the ability to reach conclusions by leaping over the stepping stones of logic," Kurtz-Collier explained. "The o in Corp is somewhat muddy inside at the top and indicates one can't always trust what is forthcoming from the source. The top of the r and the continuing line to the p form a rudimentary Greek e (like a backward 3) that rather weakly signals a literary bent. The straight-up line on the left side of the p signals a mildly argumentative nature."
While that sounds something like the Murdochs we know, Kurtz-Collier also stressed that the amalgamation of Rupert and his father's writing, probably by an artist, "is not elegant" and reads as false. (Other samples of Rupert's writing, she said, "are far more interesting, energetic, sophisticated, and ambitious.")
"Forgery is very easy to detect," she added. "To copy someone's handwriting for a logo is a little crazy. It's not what they're purporting it to be."
