I always get really excited to go on these treasure hunts when you readers send in very specific requests. And then I get so poopie-faced when I find out that what you were looking for is in fact sold out. Like these shoes. Insert poopie face here. I did find one shoe that looks very similar to the shoe in question minus the black platform. But I can't invent a shoe if it doesn't exist. Insert second poopie face. Hopefully your face will be an excited one when you see these finds!

Magzilla here: When I'm not busy eating my way to the bottom of a ginger candy bag, I'm tweezing my eyebrows. I prefer the hard core body modification scene but can also appreciate a ruffle or bow when I see one. Beauty and barrels of maternity/kid crap are my specialties. When you need help finding the right shade of eyeliner to match that new shade of "I haven't slept in days" tint your skin gets after a baby or four, call on me. Loudly.
How tragic. These are adorable shoes. I myself just did a search for them and found out that they were sold from Lulu's. Key word 'were'. They're all sold out. But here's the info on them in case you come across them surfing the web, I mean eBay.
#1 above are super cute!
These have a similar silhouette and bow, although they are more of a bootie than a pump: http://www.zappos.com/type-z-vivian-blush

If you've never worn a pair of Hanky Panky, then you are seriously missing out. Favorite doesn't even work as a good enough description. The story behind them is almost as awesome as they feel ...
THVM, stands for This Here Very Moment, was founded in Los Angeles, California in 2009.
In conjunction with each seasonal collection, THVM also produces a magazine, THVM Rag, that celebrates the creative process. The goal of the magazine is to reveal innovative movements at a local and global level, while providing unique perspectives on established artists and creative personas. THVM Rag serves as a platform to share the inspirations and methodologies that reflect the design of the seasonal collection.
We're excited to introduce Henry & Belle - arriving in-store this Fall 2014.
They met in 1931, against the backdrop of Chicago's thriving garment district. Henry Mann was a young designer; Belle, meanwhile, worked as a fitting model for the elegant, tapered styles of the 1930's couture. Henry and Belle fell in love and married in 1932. From that point forward, she was Henry's constant muse - the inspiration behind each collection he created. Through innovative, new materials, these designs weaved Henry's vision with Belle's insight into fit, movement and feel.
While she loved fashion, Belle eventually made the decision to give up her modeling career and become a volunteer philanthropist - a calling she embraced for the rest of her life. In the end, Belle was Henry's vision of perfection: a woman who was confident yet caring, chic yet natural. She looked good. She did good. Together, Henry & Belle not only built the successful family company that continues today, but also a legacy of steadfast commitment to philanthropy.
I love that our store in Shops at Legacy is located right by Ella Bleu. It's such a cute, girlie store and I feel like I find something every time I walk in! Melissa, the store owner, has become a great friend over the last four years. One of my favorite things is combining our clothes and creating amazing looks. This time it's all about SUMMER!

Oral hygiene is one of the most important aspects of personal health – our teeth are constantly looked at throughout the day. We can work out our bodies in the gym, but we prioritize our teeth differently.
Dr. Timothy Chase, a NYC based oral health expert, can speak to the top hygiene mistakes that people make when it comes to their oral hygiene. Below, Dr. Chase has outlined the top most common mistakes people make every day concerning their oral hygiene that may surprise you.
Brushing too long or too often
Brushing is necessary to maintain great oral hygiene, but that doesn't mean you necessarily have to brush every time you eat. According to Dr. Chase, you can actually end up doing more harm than good if you brush your teeth too often or too long. What he suggests is that you brush 2-3 times per day, at least a half hour after meals to avoid eroding your tooth enamel. If you can't brush that often, a good substitute is chewing sugar free gum with Sorbitol.
Brushing too hard
One might think that the harder you brush, the more likely it is that your stains will disappear. However, that doesn't exactly hold true and brushing too hard can actually cause injury to your gums and can lead to loss of enamel and notching of the root surface of the teeth. Brushing should be done using gentle pressure, with the bristles angled toward the gum line, in small circular motions. Another easy solution is to replace your manual brush with a quality electric brush, which studies show work better and cause less damage.
Brushing immediately after eating
Brushing soon after eating or drinking acidic foods is one big mistake a lot of people make. Doing so can increase the risk of tooth abrasion. Shortly after you eat or drink acidic foods, the acids in the food weaken the enamel of your teeth. Therefore, postpone brushing to at least 30 minutes after eating, by which time the saliva secreted in the mouth can neutralize the acids.
Only brushing your teeth
Brushing is not limited to just the teeth. Your tongue needs to be cleaned too. The grooves and ridges on your tongue can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Ignoring your tongue can be the cause of bad breath as well.
Using the wrong toothbrush
All tooth brushes are not created equal! The only types toothbrushes that should be used are those with soft or extra soft bristles. Using a medium or hard brush can lead to gum recession and damage to tooth structures.
Not replacing your toothbrush
Can you remember the last time that you replaced your toothbrush? Over time, brushes lose their flexibility and the bristles begin to wear out. Not changing your toothbrush at least every three months can make your efforts to maintain oral hygiene useless.
Not using floss
Toothbrushes can't reach certain places, such as between your teeth and under the gum line. Flossing should be done at least once a day to reach these areas, but can be done more often if you tend to have food stick between your teeth. Gently move the floss between your teeth until it reaches the gum, then pull it so that is partially wraps around each tooth. Floss once or twice a day, preferably after dinner.
Not drinking water
It is very important to drink water throughout the day. Not only does water help rinse food particles from the mouth, but it also helps restore the natural PH. In addition, water keeps you hydrated, which helps in the production of saliva that keeps the mouth healthy and clean.
Not receiving regular dental check-ups
Even if you correct all of your oral hygiene mistakes, you still need to visit your dentist at least once every six months or more if you have any dental issues or have had many teeth filled. Brushing and flossing alone cannot remove plaque that can harden into calculus; only your dentist or hygienist can remove this. Besides dental disease, your dentist can also help diagnose other potential issues such as oral cancer, TMJ and other systemic diseases. If you are in the New York City area, you can visit Dr. Chase (SmilesNY.com) for a comprehensive exam and to find out exactly how healthy your mouth is.

I'm setting up a database server on EC2, and I need to ensure that an EBS volume is automatically attached and is available before the database service starts up.
I'm using SMF so I can test whether a particular filesystem is available before starting the db service, so there's no problem from that perspective, however I'm not quite sure how to tell the server to auto-attach the EBS volume during/after boot.
What would be the best strategy for this?

The Formula for Calculating an IRA and RMD
Original post by Cam Merritt of Demand Media
While investors are often cautioned against taking early withdrawals from their individual retirement accounts (IRAs), it's important to keep in mind that you can't keep it in there forever either. Once you reach age 70 1/2, the Internal Revenue Service makes you withdraw a certain amount every year, known as required minimum distributions (RMDs). Although the custodian of your IRA should be able to calculate this amount for you, it helps to know that it's based primarily on your account balance and your age.
Account Balance
The formula for calculating your RMD starts with how much money you have in the IRA. When determining your RMD for a given year, the figure to use is the IRA balance as of December 31 of the preceding year. You can find this on your year-end statement, or call your IRA custodian.
Life Expectancy
To get your RMD, you must divide your IRA balance by a life expectancy factor determined by your age, and the decisions you've made about who will be the beneficiary of your account. The IRS publishes three separate tables of life expectancy factors in Publication 590 titled "Individual Retirement Arrangements."
Use the "Joint Life and Last Survivor Expectancy" table in Publication 590 if your spouse is the sole beneficiary of your IRA, and is more than 10 years younger than you. Both conditions must apply to use this table. If you're unmarried, or if your spouse is not more than 10 years younger than you, or if you are married but your spouse is not your sole beneficiary, use the "Uniform Lifetime" table. The third table, "Single Life Expectancy," is only for beneficiaries. When beneficiaries inherit an IRA, they generally have to start taking RMDs regardless of their age.
The Formula
Assume, for example, you are 75 years old and you had $250,000 in your IRA as of last December 31. If your spouse is 63 years old and is your sole beneficiary, then you can use the "Joint Life and Last Survivor Expectancy" table. As of 2011, the life expectancy factor for a 75-year-old with a 63-year-old spouse is 24.3. Divide $250,000 by 24.3, and you get a RMD of $10,288. If you are single or married but didn't qualify to use the joint table, look up your factor on the uniform table. As of 2011, your factor was 22.9, and your RMD would be $10,917.
Taking the Distribution
You have until the end of the calendar year to take your RMD, except for the year you turn 70 1/2 when you have until the following April 1. If you don't take your RMD, or if you take less than you're supposed to, the penalty is a steep 50 percent tax on the amount you fell short.

Newborn Screenings
Information for Families
Congratulations on the birth of your baby! Becoming a new parent is a wonderful and challenging time filled with unexpected joys and uncertainties.
Pulse Oximetry Screening
After your baby is born, your health care team will do some exams and tests. One of the newest tests is for serious heart problems that your baby may have at birth. Health care providers call these problems Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD) .
This test for serious heart problems is called pulse oximetry. This test:
- Measures oxygen in your baby's blood.
- Is usually done when your baby is between 24 to 48 hours old. (If your child is on supplemental oxygen in the first days after birth, the pulse oximetry testing may be postponed).
- Is easy and painless.
To do this test, your nurse will put a small sticker, called a probe, on your baby's right hand and on your baby's foot. The probe measures the oxygen in your baby's blood.
Most babies will pass this screening test the first time and will not need any more tests. A small number of babies will need to have the pulse oximetry screening repeated. Babies with very low oxygen levels or moderately low oxygen levels on repeated testing will usually need to have another test called an echocardiogram to determine if they have an important heart problem.
An echocardiogram is an ultrasound test of your baby's heart. It is painless and is like the ultrasound some mothers have when they are pregnant. Many hospitals can perform an echocardiogram for babies, but some babies may need to go to a different health care facility to have an echocardiogram.
It is important to remember that pulse oximetry screening will not identify babies who have problems with their hearts but who have normal oxygen levels. Some important heart problems that only affect older babies and children won't be detected by the tests.
The goal of these tests is to find and treat babies with serious heart problems that are not found during prenatal care or newborn care.
For additional recommended newborn screenings, visit your state health department web page or contact your pediatrician.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the apartment Trojanova. It is not very central, perhaps 20 minutes on foot you walk from the Prague center. But we enjoyed it to run through the city and to enjoy them. For 5 people, the apartment is a bit not spacious enough, but we have felt very comfortable. The apartment was clean, the price performance ratio is super, and everything worked as it should.
So In conclusion, I recommend the accommodation Trojanova very happy to, if I may speak for the young people.
Ich war sehr positiv überrascht vom Appartement Trojanova. Es liegt nicht ganz zentral, vielleicht 20 min zu Fuss ist man vom Pragerzentrum entfernt. Aber wir haben es genossen, durch die Stadt zu laufen und sie zu geniessen. Für 5 Personen ist das Appartement ein bisschen knapp bemessen, trotzdem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Appartement war sauber, das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist super, und alles funktionierte so wie es sollte.
Als Fazit empfehle ich also die Unterkunft Trojanova sehr gerne weiter, wenn ich für die jungen Leute sprechen darf.
Thanks as hell
Tack som fan
Very well installed in the renovated apartment, bright and very clean, within walking distance of all important sights of Prague ... on foot!
Perfect spring ... and probably much warmer in summer as in whole attic with only roof windows.
Our host, busy but efficient and very accommodating: early arrival and late departure with luggage storage.
We are delighted with our stay.
Très bien installés dans cet appartement rénové, lumineux et très propre, à courte distance de tous les sites importants de Prague...même à pied !
Parfait au printemps...et sans doute nettement plus chaud en été car mansardé en totalité avec uniquement des fenêtres de toit.
Notre hôte, bien occupé, mais efficace et très accommodant : arrivée matinale et départ plus tardif avec conservation des bagages.
Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour.
Hello, with extended family (5), this apartment ideally, separate toilet / shower on the top floor was very convenient. A very nice and helpful local contacts, the keys worked fine. Due to the optimal central, but quiet location, I would recommend this apartment any more.
Hallo, mit Großfamilie (5) war diese Wohnung optimal, seperate WC/Dusche in der oberen Etage war sehr praktisch. Ein sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Ansprechpartner vor Ort, Schlüsselübergabe hat prima geklappt. Durch die optimale zentrale, aber trotzdem ruhige Lage würde ich dieses Appartment jeden weiter empfehlen.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.

- Every host is verified by telephone

Myself and one other indivdual will be taking over some of the daily firewall management duties soon and I'm looking for a way to track changes on our firewall configurations for auditing purposes and need some ideas on a good way to track changes the changes that are made.
I don't have a lot of specific criteria but here are some of the basic things I would like to be able to do:
- Access to previous revisions of firewall configs
- Access to changes made and by whom
- When specific changes were made
I'm wondering if some sort of revision control software would work here as a way to track the the changes? Or if some other approach would work better for managing the change control in this situation.
I'm open to any and all suggestions at this point.
We are using a Checkpoint pair, one passive one active configuration. I will update again with specific model numbers when I get a chance.

Where would you like the Mobile World Congress to be held from 2013?
That is a good question. Sadly though, this isn't up to you or me.
The GSMA, which is the association that organizes the yearly Mobile World Congress, has publicly revealed the cities that are bidding to get a contract to host the prestigious mobile industry event between 2013 and 2017.
These are: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Cologne, Milan, Munich and Paris.
Barcelona has been the host since 2006, and will be the host of at least the next two MWCs, in 2011 and 2012, even if it doesn't win.
The GSMA expects to have a shortlist of cities available by January 2011 and to announce the winner sometime in mid-2011.
The Mobile World Congress (previously known as 3GSM) has kept growing and growing since its first edition which was held back in 1987 and 50,000 visitors are expected to be present for next year's event in February.
The four-day conference and exhibition attracts executives from the world's largest companies across the mobile industry and adjacent sectors, as well as interested government delegations and, yes, loads of mobile-obsessed bloggers. Oh, and a lot of press too. It is then, undoubtedly, the event for the global mobile industry, and thus important changes such as the city it's held in pretty much have to be announced this much in advance.

This package is an implementation of a linear RankSVM solver with non-convex regularization. This is the code that has been used for numerical simulation in the paper
|L. Laporte, R. Flamary, S. Canu, S. Déjean, J. Mothe, "Nonconvex Regularizations for Feature Selection in Ranking With Sparse SVM", Neural Networks and Learning Systems, IEEE Transactions on, Vol. 25, N. 6, pp 1118-1130, 2014.
|Abstract: Feature selection in learning to rank has recently emerged as a crucial issue. Whereas several preprocessing approaches have been proposed, only a few works have been focused on integrating the feature selection into the learning process. In this work, we propose a general framework for feature selection in learning to rank using SVM with a sparse regularization term. We investigate both classical convex regularizations such as l1 or weighted l1 and non-convex regularization terms such as log penalty, Minimax Concave Penalty (MCP) or lp pseudo norm with p lower than 1. Two algorithms are proposed, first an accelerated proximal approach for solving the convex problems, second a reweighted l1 scheme to address the non-convex regularizations. We conduct intensive experiments on nine datasets from Letor 3.0 and Letor 4.0 corpora. Numerical results show that the use of non-convex regularizations we propose leads to more sparsity in the resulting models while prediction performance is preserved. The number of features is decreased by up to a factor of six compared to the l1 regularization. In addition, the software is publicly available on the web.
@article{tnnls2014, author = { Laporte, L. and Flamary, R. and Canu, S. and Déjean, S. and Mothe, J.}, title = {Nonconvex Regularizations for Feature Selection in Ranking With Sparse SVM}, journal = { Neural Networks and Learning Systems, IEEE Transactions on}, volume = {25}, number = {6}, pages = {1118-1130}, editor = {}, year = {2014} }
We provide a general solver for squared hinge loss RankSVM of the form:
This toolbox is in Matlab/Octave and should run on both software. The algorithm used for solving the optimization problem is a Difference of Convex approach as described in here and the algorithm used for solving the sub-problem is a Forward-Backward Splitting algorithm from the FISTA paper. The toolbox also contains code from the paper FSMrank as provided by the authors.

The knights of Worchester's Higgins Armory Museum saw another march today as their armor; weaponry and barding sallied forth to their new home at the Worchester Art Museum. Chivalric fanboys and argyle historians alike flocked to the Higgins Museum today to bid on that which would not find a new home at the WAM.
The stars of the collection have been saved, including an 18th century yukinoshita-do style Japanese breastplate emblazoned with a twisting dragon. A Comb Morion for the guard of Christian I or II (electors of Saxony) is also making for a new home, as is a miraculously complete set of armor for Count Franz von Teuffenbach (1516). The new exhibit boasts everything from marvelously well-preserved barding to gladiator helmets, to a gilded Jasper-hilted smallsword that brings neoclassical art history to the industrial revolution.
The auction allowed fans a last chance to amble through the museum, and perhaps take home something that had always been of sentimental value to them. Aside form the nostalgia; it presented a rare opportunity to buy both a ladder and a gauntlet. The motley crowds some dressed in doctor-who t-shirts with sweatpants, some in tweed, then convened in an auditorium for the bidding. Unsurprisingly, the enormous playground objects were not fought over, with a light-up jousting simulator going for twenty dollars. The iron filigree lights that had hitherto illuminated the stone faux-medieval groin vaults and stone halls went for up to two hundred apiece.

SW: TOR: Questions and Answers
TOR On Tython Continuation of Confessians of a Jedi Consular: As they rescue the Traandoshan, The Jedi and her master consider what might be causing the problem
In the sentence; 'I see. Well, if you're willing to come with us," he told Qyzen Fess, "we'll give you medical care back at', the closing should be 'he told Qyzen Fess,'. There was no logical reason to stick it into the center.
I have to thank the author for the kind words at the start and I went back and reread the last half dozen paragraphs. My suggestions were accepted, acted upon and improved what I did read. Not a pick of the week, but getting there.
Me from Citadel Station
TSL on Citadel station: The Ithorians deal with a disaster of their own.
All of the negatives except for one have been voiced by the author so:
I agree you cannot tell if there is more than one sex with the Ithorians, but something like 80% of the animals you see on Earth are the same without very careful looks; when you consider two horses, one a mare, both are usually the same size. Until a small mammal rolls over on it's back you cannot see the sexual dimorphism, I.E nipples on a female, protruding genitalia on the male. In fact additional clues are few and far between. Some mammals it's obvious; only male lions have a mane for instance just as only a male deer grows antlers. Such obvious sexual dimorphism is rare in mammals, though quite common among insects and birds.
When you have human children before puberty, the usual way to tell the difference is gender specific clothing and gender specific toys and hair lengths. Sometimes you can differentiate by attitudes, boys being more aggressive, girls more prone to cry, that kind of thing. Yet you get the sensitive boy and the 'tomboy' girls. It isn't until after puberty when a boy's voice deepens and a girl grows curves that it is visibly obvious.
I would have suggested something like the 'transfer neuter' concept used by John Ringo for the Indowy and the hermaphroditic genitalia of the Posleen in his Aldendata series.
Revan's Path
Post KOTOR: The hidden Sith plot to kill both Bastila and Revan
The piece is a bit confusing in that your Sith have taken a more nihilistic turn than normal. The characters need more fleshing out.
TSL on Onderon: An interesting look at the relationship between Kavar and Talia
The author creates a relationship of support only for their own ends. Neither character has any redeeming values.
Post ROTS: A slave remembers his past
The piece is confusing since the alien described was bred and trained to hunt and kill Jedi, yet few would have remained at this time. Also using such an assassin as a mere training item also does not make sense; sort of like using a tank as your town car for shopping.
One Chance for Life
KOTOR on Endar Spire: With the addition of another character, the story begins
Remember conversation breaks. The addition of the second character, especially with the irreverent attitude of Coran makes this part interesting.
Technical notes:
First there is a reason the shaking wakes Revan in the game; picture sleeping in your bed when suddenly the entire building shakes. You wake up because houses are not supposed to shake, so it is abnormal. In a space ship with any form of gravity control, having the ship shake would be just as alarming, because your gravity controls remove such things except when it is overloaded momentarily as when the ship is hit by weapon's fire. Unless the Endar Spire was in orbit, there is not way the Sith could have boarded quietly, but even then there would have been alarms, and from personal experience the battle stations alarm would jerk even the soundest sleeper from their beds.
Second, try to avoid game related tags (Cryo grenade for instance) because it distracts from the story flow. The problem I have with the game, both video and RPG is that those who wrote them were raised on games such as D&D and are merely trying to create a technical equivalent of the spells of those game. So you have staged grenades still the same size, or mines, also staged, and grenades with specialty attacks. I argued with one person who using the game has a Star Destroyer practically indestructible because of it's armor and explained how a fighter can damage it by making a fighter cannon more powerful than a tank gun.
Mending Mistakes
Ilea Drake
Pre TSL after the Exile's trial: Kavar and Corsela say good bye
The story is good, but I had a problem with the description of the void and what could happen. It would make sense that it would hurt others if she had access to the Force, but why would be a danger only then? Considering that the force is supposed to be all pervasive, this is like leaving a full can of herbicide standing open on the lawn because it won't kill the gras until you pick it up. It would be more logical to kill her rather than take the chance that she infect everyone who is remotely force sensitive. It would have been equally logical to keep her in custody, explain what is happening and enlist her aid; after all she was willing to go back to war if it meant stopping Revan's rampage. The Council's decision was a larger mistake than she had made.
Gizka Chaos
KOTOR, no specific planet given: The Ebon crew is harassed by... a Gizka?
Placing it time wise was difficult because of things out of sequence; Saul being alive, but Sarin (Revan) already knowing the secret of her identity. I especially enjoyed the idea that Sasha appears to be an accepted member of the team, as she was in my own novel length work.
The piece is a Bugs Bunny cartoon with the Gizka playing Bugs, and each of the crew playing any of that rascal's victims, though taking pictures of Mission in shower is a more adult scene. The end is fun, and everything between first seeing it and that end just too funny for words.
Pick of the Week
Storm Sword
Monarch Rat
Just before KOTOR aboard Endar Spire: One of Bastila's Jedi spends time with the crew
The piece is an interesting slice of life for the typical crew on what will soon be an atypical day. The main character has a great deal of background, but some things (Being a good warrior at age 2) is confusing unless he is not human, which is never quantified.
It was interesting making the Jedi Temple on Alderaan almost a knock-off of a Parochial school. Having the kids willing to brave the darkness only with a buddy was cute. Showing different Force abilities and how they could go wrong (The boy's rock, the door satisfied that it is doing it's job and finding the door code by feeling where others had punched numbers) along with the childish dialogue was very fun. It is a pity the author didn't expand of the festival.

Once the Seed is Planted
Beginning 16 years before KOTOR: The seed of Evil is planted long ago. Can Revan assure it does not grow?
The piece uses one of the secondary characters from Korriban, a character I merely consigned to failure in my own work. Having them work together in the final confrontation is what the game suggested, but the backstory removes Mekel from the mere 'Sith tough' category and into the 'I can be redeemed ' one. A very well done work.
Pick of the Week
'To argue with those who have renounced the use and authority of reason is as futile as to administer medicine to the dead.' Now who said that?

Whilst many people hype up the January transfer window and eagerly anticipate the arrival of the new year just so they can see their team delve into the market for a much needed boost to their squad, quite often it fails to materialise. In fact this transfer window has become something of a damp squib in recent years, with 2011 being the only anomaly that immediately springs to mind. Juan Mata may have switched clubs but other big deals look unlikely.
January, first and foremost, isn't a very good time to do business. Unlike in the summer, the season itself is well under way. In fact it's beyond the half-way point and every team in every league in every country have a far better idea of where they realistically are and will be at the end. Inevitably, no matter where your team is in the league, the priority has to be to hold on to your most influential and most important players. To do that, and to keep the vultures at bay, price tags have to be set. In the majority of cases, the ridiculously inflated figures that are touted for players are simply a means by the club to deter other clubs from putting bids on the table. It isn't their actual valuation of the player. As a result of clubs' desperation to keep hold of the players that can either shoot them towards glory or save them from the dreaded drop or simply revitalise their campaign, not many high-calibre deals are done. Add in the fact that in just one month, a club selling one of its prized assets has very limited time to find a good enough replacement and also, whoever they're going to pursue the signature of will be equally as difficult to obtain for exactly the same reasons as explained above.
Whilst 90% of teams find it difficult to add any fresh faces, this type of market ultimately benefits the other 10% of clubs who have the mega bucks. The main team in the Premier League to have been flexing their financial muscles this month have been Chelsea. Having parted with Juan Mata, they've done their usual trick of hijacking other clubs' moves for players. In this case, it was FC Basel winger Mohammed Salah. The Egyptian international appeared to be heading to Liverpool, until the wealthy London club stepped in. The same happened in the summer when Willian decided to forget his initial transfer to Tottenham, which was all but completed, in order to move to Stamford Bridge. I wonder what could have potentially swayed him? Unfortunately for everyone else lacking this much power and influence, clubs who do have it in abundance tend to dictate the market and have the final say on who goes where. If they want a player, they just nonchalantly go out and buy them with barely any negotiating required.
As a result, January is a month which sees the clubs with an embarrassment of riches become even more overloaded with talent and this causes the gulf between the top and the bottom halves of the league to widen even more. Less affluent clubs simply can't compete with the financial powerhouses, especially in January when the top players (and even some mediocre ones) are going at prices bordering on the irrational. The only types of deals other clubs are likely to pull off are:
• Loan deals for other teams' fringe players. These are likely to be from clubs with bigger squads (like Chelsea).
• Loan deals for players who are playing in other countries where the season isn't in full swing (such as the American MLS).
• Cheap deals for players who are out of contract in the summer and the selling club is looking to cash in.
• Deals for players who "want out" of their current club for various reasons.
One saving grace for this year's January window is that it will be the last chance for players to move before the World Cup in the summer. Whilst many people may question whether modern day footballers are as committed to serving their national side as their club, it cannot be questioned that every player wants to be on their nation's plane to Brazil (if their country has qualified, of course). In order to give themselves the best possible chance of doing so, they need to be playing regular football at a good level for the rest of the season. As a result, they may need to move away from their current club if they're not playing regularly there.
Therefore, it has to be said that the January transfer window is something which most clubs would actually prefer to do without. Whilst it can prove to be useful to bring in a fresh face or two (if possible), the majority of the business done is only out of real necessity. One club in this situation is West Ham who are simply looking to add depth to their squad amidst their current injury crisis. It certainly doesn't inject much excitement into the season as the only teams who are able to spice things up in it are the financial powerhouses. For every club outside the top six or so teams in the Premier League, their marquee signings are made in the summer as that's the only time they can realistically chase after the targets they want. Swansea broke their record transfer fee paid for a player when they splashed out on Wilfried Bony in the summer, in January all they've managed to do is to sign Bolton's David N'Gog.
With only the clubs with the already big squads (and deep pockets) being able to sign anyone of real note, is it really worth having a January window at all? If the majority of the business is loan deals, then why don't the Premier League just have longer "loan" windows open during the season, like the Championship and lower leagues? Clubs who have smaller squads like West Ham would then be able to add depth if needed. Also, clubs with squads the size of Chelsea's should be able to survive throughout the whole season without needing to permanently recruit any new super stars. If injuries strike, then maybe (just maybe), give one or two of the fringe/young players a chance? It's wishful thinking I know…

REVIEW: Black Feathers by Joseph D'Lacey
Black Feathers (Black Dawn #1)
by Joseph D'Lacey
Angry Robot (March 2013)
Ebook, 496 pages
Fantasy, Dystopian
Black Feathers is a modern fantasy set in two epochs: the Black Dawn, a time of environmental apocalypse, and generations into the future in its aftermath, the Bright Day. In each era, a child undertakes a perilous journey to find a dark messiah known as The Crowman. In their hands lies the fate of the planet as they attempt to discover whether The Crowman is our saviour… or the final incarnation of evil. (Goodreads)
REVIEWER: Rebecca
Black Feathers by Joseph D'Lacey is one of those clever books which take a genre you think you know and completely twists it around so you don't even know which way is up anymore.
What I mean by this is the unique mixture of fantasy and dystopian fiction present in this book, with an entirely refreshing new concept of The Crowman. Also called Blackjack and The Scarecrow, no one is entirely sure who or what The Crowman is, with some believing he is the earth's saviour and others believing he is the devil himself. All anyone seems able to say about him is that he is the key to the solving the mystery of the Black Dawn, and could be humanity's only hope.
To rewind a second, the Black Dawn is that middle stage between normality and the end of the world. Set in two separate eras, one character's story gives us an insight to the deterioration of the world, whilst the other gives us an overview of what the world is like in the future. All we know is that The Crowman is the connecting force between both eras, and that our two protagonists are determined to seek him out no matter what.
Our first protagonist is Gordon Black, whose birth and childhood we are introduced to at the beginning of the book. There is something different about this child, the mysterious boy with the black hair and grey eyes who is born to blonde parents. His parents are protective of him, as is one of his sisters (the other seeming jealous of him), and we are told of the presence of ravens in their garden, which his father immediately shoots down with his shotgun.
Gordon's side of the story then progresses a few years to his pre-adolescence, and the start of the Black Dawn. An organization called The Ward has slowly been infiltrating the parliaments of the world, and is now in control of the country. They are trying to brainwash the public to their way of thinking and are limiting the supplies of necessities such as food. Having been prepared for something like this, Gordon's father has been hoarding food, petrol and ammunition to keep his family safe, but it isn't long before The Ward come calling for them. They take away Gordon's entire family to one of their interrogation centres, leaving Gordon alone to survive in the wilderness.
The Ward are desperate to stop anyone from discovering The Crowman, as he is the only one who could potentially destroy their plans for domination. Therefore they are determined to beat Gordon in his search, starting out in pursuit of this child. Gordon knows nothing of The Crowman, only that his family's last message to him was that he must find him, as he is their last hope. All Gordon wants is his family back, and will do whatever it takes to be reunited with them.
Our second protagonist is Megan Maurice, again a pre-adolescent, in the future times after the devastating effects of the Black Dawn. She lives with her parents, and she has dreams of The Crowman which are beginning to recur more and more often. Megan dismisses these as nothing, but The Keeper, who keeps a spiritual watch over their village, identifies Megan as his successor. He invites her to walk the Black Feathered path, leaving behind all she knows to pursue The Crowman and become the first female Keeper, and the most powerful.
Her journey with The Keeper brings her into contact with the past and with Gordon, mostly via her dreams. It is her job to document the story of this mysterious boy, and by keeping the story alive she keeps the search for The Crowman alive. D'Lacey very subtly blends the stories of the two characters together, and at times it was a little confusing of whether or not Megan was dreaming, and it remains unanswered how she is able to interact with Gordon.
The plot of this novel may sound complex, and it many ways it is, but the world is very cleverly constructed, with a lot of time being spent in Gordon's perspective to build up to the Black Dawn. It is representative of dystopian fiction in the ways in which characters react in the aftermath of all this destruction, and as a result there are some highly disturbing, horror-movie-worthy scenes which really made me shudder. As shocking as it was, I loved that this was one of the few books to really make me squirm and D'Lacey makes us understand how easy it is for people to succumb to violence in times of desperation.
I loved the build up of the characters too, as the harsh ways of the world really make their mark upon Gordon, and he is forced to grow up quickly and become acquainted with more violence than any child should have to deal with. More mysteries about his character are built up towards the end of the novel, and I am desperate to know where he will go from here and whether my suspicions about him are right.
As for Megan, her character felt a little slower to develop, but I think this was because the primary focus at the beginning was upon Gordon in order to develop the world. However, once we reach the end of the book there is more focus upon Megan's journey down the Black Feathered path of The Keeper, and she also undergoes some harsh lessons and shudder-worthy trials (not suited for those with fears of spiders or snakes, that's for sure!).
Overall I really did love this book, as it had everything I was looking for and more, and really redefined the genres of fantasy and dystopian fiction. I know the two genres have been merged before, but this book just had that special un-put-down-able spark I couldn't resist. Even the most horrific scenes had me wanting to continue reading, as it was easy to form attachments to the characters and also easy to forget that both are merely children. My slight complaint is the abruptness of the ending, as I felt that the book had just started to lead up to something exciting when I found myself at the Epilogue. Needless to say I am anxiously awaiting book two, and am desperate to know whether The Crowman can really be found.
Black Feathers was one of the best books I've read so far this year, as it completely pulled me in and I could hardly put it down. The characters of Gordon and Megan are well developed and the plot has some sharp twists and turns – you never know where you're going to end up next. I can't wait for the sequel, as I just couldn't get enough of the dystopian world of the Black Dawn.

One of the most exciting things about music, particularly the fast-moving, ever-evolving world of dance music, is its global reach.
At the age of 15, a Scottish turntablist, DJ Itchy, became the youngest UK DMC finalist. Today he is known as Hudson Mohawke, a moniker synonymous with the profound electronica-meets-rap genesis coveted by popular music bigwigs in need of some production Botox.
They broke the mould when they made this issue's cover star Jimmy Edgar. Psychedelic, freaky, funky — and that's not just his music.
While a look at London's club scene right now might have some of us feeling pessimistic — apart from the obvious champions and small scale underground rebels — a look further afield reveals that clubs, in the main, are in rude health.
Our cover star this issue Seth Troxler has already attracted his fair share of column inches. Rightly so.
We all knew it would happen sooner or later, but our cover star this issue, Ten Walls, has shifted the direction of dancefloors. Hypnotic, progressive grooves are back.
Can you feel it? Can you smell it? The funk is back in the air, in a big way. Tired of endless mechanical conveyor belts of tech house boredom, dance fans are heading back to soulful sounds.
There's something reassuring about musical nostalgia, revisiting the past and digging into formulas you know will work.
Can it be that the dominance of the EDM sound is coming to an end? It certainly seems that way judging by the opinions of many of the DJs in this year's Top 100 poll, espoused in their mini profile interviews for the magazine you hold in your hands.

It's what the First Alert Weather team has been predicting all week, and Thursday we saw the first rain of what will be a very wet weekend.
Shingletown folks saw nearly two inches of snow before noon Tuesday at elevations as low as 3500 feet.
Highway 44, also in Shasta County, was kept fairly clear of snow thanks to the slow but steady parade of traffic.
Angie Adams, an employee at the Shingletown Store, said the powder is a welcome sight.
"Everybody's been really happy about it," said Adams, "That somewhat spring-type weather that we had was wonderful, but you know, everybody knows that we need it."
Angie is hoping this bit of rain will help during fire season this year.
People with wells, who rely on ground water, are also hoping for a lot more.
Despite the welcome, the rain has created some inconveniences.
The Bangor Union Elementary School sent students home early because the power went out.
Bangor is small town south of Oroville in Butte County.
PG&E's Paul Moreno said crews had to repair a substation that went down because of the weather.
Nearly 1500 customers were affected.
Power was ultimately restored at around 11 a.m.

The apartment lies very close to the port of Piraeus and 300 m from Pasalimani. Only 200 m away from the apartment is the docking of the yachts, thus it is suitable for tourists who are cruising. Moreover the apartment is very close to the docking of the boats which are travelling to the Aegean and Argosaronik gulf islands. 500 m away , it is the Marina Zeas, and Mikrolimano. Peiraiki beach which is an ideal place for romantic walks, is located only 1500 m from the apartment.
150 m away from the apartment there are bus stations from where the buses are leading to the most areas of Attica. The line 843 leads in less than 10 minutes to the boats for most islands, to metro (line1 Piraeus station) and to suburban railway (Piraeus station). The same line 843, meets in 3-5 minutes in the port of Piraeus the bus line X96 which leads to the international airport of Athens, Eleftherios Venizelos.
The line 040 leads in about thirty minutes to the Acropolis museum and to the Syntagma Square in the centre of Athens. The line 049 in 25-35 minutes is leading to Omonoia Square in the centre of Athens as well. Finally the line A1 is leading in less than 40 minutes to the most beaches of the south suburbs of Athens.
Smoking is not allowed.

Fantastic fiew over the marina and easy to park your car.
I strongly recommend it !
Thank you so much, will be back for more !

I would definately recommed the Apartment to everyone. It is fully renovated and modern decorated. George was a perfect Host and always very helpful.
The location is unbeatable for sure. Great Areas like Plaka, Acropolis, Monastiraki, Kolonaki are all within walking distance, from 1 minute away to a maximum of 15 minutes.
Athens in general is allways worth it to go there.
Thanks George. See you next time in Athens.
The apartment Georges offers is excellent. The interior is very nice and the 3 bethrooms are specious. The balcony gives you a great view over Athens and the harbour and so is a nice spot to relaxe after a long day of sight seeing.
The metro station Ag. Dimitrios is only a 15 minutes walk, and from there it is an easy ride to Athens centre. Supermarkets are just a 5 minutes walk away to do some shopping.
George gave a very good support on questions / demands from our side.
Best regards Paul de Jonge
The location is unbeatable - a quiet side street, but seconds from the Acropolis site, museum and the adjoining metro, Easy walks to all the major sites. The flat is nice - a decent size, good bathroom, clean, well appointed. Its a raised ground floor flat, so the views either way aren't much, but you only have to turn the corner for views of Hadrian's Temple or the Acropolis.
Although this property is not the most convenient to the center of Athens, if you have business in the northern suburbs, as we did, it is the perfect spot. The neighborhood is clean, with many restaurants and shops within walking distance, including a big A/B. There is a big park with a well maintained fenced playground nearby as well, which my daughter enjoyed. The apartment itself is very large and thoughtfully stocked, with a comfortable, well-equipped kitchen. While we had trouble with one of the toilets, everything else was fine. Beds were extremely comfortable, and it was quiet at night. The building felt secure and the neighborhood felt safe. We asked for cleaning and a friendly woman called Ellie came and did a thorough job for not much money. Management was responsive to requests. The metro is a 15 minute walk away, though it is down some steep streets and they are harder to walk on the way back! Once there it is very quick into the center.
The apartments are really excellent. We stayed (3 adults and 1 infant) for 5 days. Good location-3 stops by underground to the historical centre in a good and calm district, very quite in the night, air condition works perfect, good equipment, washing machine, balcony, grill. Very helpful owner of the apartments, enough space for 2 families. Near is supermarket and farmacy. Excellent for people with small children. Internet works a little bit slowly (low speed): it's enough for searching but impossible to watch movie. We definitely would stay there next time there.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very well equiped, with everything you need to cook and spend a few days. Very nice place!

"Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma practice management guidelines for hemorrhage in pelvic fracture—update and systematic review." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
This guideline updates a previous version: EAST Practice Management Guidelines Work Group. Practice management guidelines for hemorrhage in pelvic fracture. Allentown (PA): Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST); 2001. 15 p. [34 references]
Hemorrhage from pelvic fracture
Patients with pelvic fracture who have signs of bleeding (hemorrhage)
A computerized search of the National Library of Medicine MEDLINE database was undertaken using the OVID interface. English language citations were included for the period of 1999 through 2010 using the primary search strategy: pelvis, fracture, hemorrhage, trauma, and retroperitoneal hematoma. The dates were selected to allow comprehensive review of articles published since the prior systematic review with minimal overlap.
Review articles and case reports were excluded. Moreover, studies not directly addressing hemorrhage with pelvic fracture were excluded. The PubMed Related Citations algorithm was also used to identify additional articles similar to the items retrieved by the primary strategy. Of the 1,432 articles identified by these two techniques, those dealing with prospective or retrospective studies were selected, comprising 50 studies specifically evaluating hemorrhage associated with pelvic fracture in adult or pediatric patients.
50 studies
Class I: Prospective randomized clinical trials.
Class II: Clinical studies in which data were collected prospectively or retrospective analyses based on clearly reliable data.
Class III: Studies based on retrospectively collected data.
Articles were compiled by the committee chair and were distributed among committee members for formal review. Each article was entered into a review data sheet with detailed summaries of the articles. Deficiencies and conclusions not validated by the data were also noted. The reviewers correlated the references with the methodology established by the Agency for Health policy and Research of the US Department of Health and Human Service. Each reference was classified as class I, class II, or class III data. There was no class I data found for the search period. Fifteen class II articles and 35 class III articles were included in the review. An evidentiary table was constructed using the 50 references (see Table 2 in original guideline document).
The workgroup for the Practice Management Guidelines for Hemorrhage in Pelvic Trauma consisted of nine Trauma Surgeons, an Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in trauma, and an Interventional Radiologist (see Table 1 in original guideline document).
Recommendations were classified as level 1, 2, or 3 according to the definitions listed in the "Rating Scheme for the Strength of the Recommendations" field.
Six questions regarding hemorrhage from pelvic fracture were addressed in formulating the recommendations:
Level I
This recommendation is convincingly justifiable based on the available scientific information alone. It is generally based on Class I data or strong Class II evidence may form the basis for a Level I recommendation. Conversely, weak or contradictory Class I data may not be able to support a Level I recommendation.
Level II
This recommendation is reasonably justifiable by available scientific evidence and strongly supported by expert opinion. It is usually supported by Class II data or a preponderance of Class III evidence.
Level III
This recommendation is supported by available data, but adequate scientific evidence is lacking. It is generally supported by Class III data. This type of recommendation is useful for educational purposes and in guiding future studies.
A formal cost analysis was not performed and published cost analyses were not reviewed.
All references were reviewed by at least two committee members for purposes of cross-validation.
The levels of recommendation (I-III) and classification of evidence (I-III) are defined at the end of the "Major Recommendations" field.
Which Patients With Hemodynamically Unstable Pelvic Fractures Warrant Early External Mechanical Stabilization?
Which Patients Require Emergent Angiography?
What Is the Best Test to Exclude Intra-Abdominal Bleeding?
Are There Radiologic Findings Which Predict Hemorrhage?
What Is the Role of Noninvasive Temporary External Fixation Devices?
Which Patients Warrant Retroperitoneal (Preperitoneal) Packing?
Classes of Evidence
Levels of Recommendation
None provided
The type of supporting evidence is identified and graded for each recommendation (see the "Major Recommendations" field).

A peaceful, pro-life prayer vigil began in Sacramento on Wednesday, March 5th, and will continue until April 13th. International sponsor and organizer of the event, 40 Days for Life, is a focused pro-life campaign with a "vision to access God's power through prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigils to end abortion. The mission of the campaign is to bring together the body of Christ in a spirit of unity during a focused 40 day campaign of prayer, fasting, and peaceful activism, with the purpose of repentance, to seek God's favor to turn hearts and minds from a culture of death to a culture of life, thus bringing an end to abortion."
The focus of this year's prayer vigil will once again be the Women's Health Specialists abortion clinic, located at 1442 Ethan Way in the Arden-Arcade area of Sacramento. Participants gather not only to pray, but to also respectfully distribute literature in support of human life. Trained sidewalk counselors also look for opportunities to lovingly share a message regarding the sanctify of pre-born human life with anyone willing to listen. Those interested in participating can choose any hour from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, Monday through Friday to gather for prayer. Other promotional activities, such as a pro-life concert in Auburn today, are also planned. In addition, positive, pro-life messages will be shared throughout Sacramento during the campaign, raising support for and an awareness of the sanctity of all human life from the moment of conception onward.
To help promote the 40 Days for Life campaign, flyers can be downloaded and distributed in English and in Spanish. As with any such effort, there are costs involved. Donations to help offset these expenses can be sent to: Cherish California's Children, 4246 2nd Avenue Sacramento, CA 95817. Checks need to be made payable to, Cherish California's Children, with "Sacramento 40 Days for Life" on the memo line.
To learn more about 40 Days for Life or to volunteer to serve God in these efforts, visit their website or contact the local leadership team by calling Wynette Sills at 916-955-1577 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Contact 40 Days of Life today. United, we can end abortion and save precious lives created in the image of the Living God.

Site PHP06: Sandy River Reservoir
Sandy River Reservoir sits just south of US 460 and offers easy access to a large reservoir with plenty of possibilities for wildlife. The open water attracts a variety of waterfowl each fall and winter. Search the deep waters for diving ducks such as lesser scaup and buffleheads. These could be joined by a variety of grebes including pied-billed and horned and even loons from time to time; in shallower waters search for gadwall and American widgeon among the more common mallards. The shoreline is also frequented by ring-billed gulls, which can gather in impressive flocks and are sometimes joined by rarer species. At any time of year an osprey or even bald eagle could turn up overhead. Search the woods along the shoreline for resident species such as red-bellied woodpeckers and white-breasted nuthatches. During migration, warblers and vireos such as northern parula and red-eyed vireos join flocks of Carolina chickadees and tufted titmice. In the more open areas around the reservoir eastern bluebirds are numerous and American kestrels can be seen perched on dead snags and telephone poles.
From Wilck's Lake return to US 460 East and follow it east for 5.5 miles to Rt. 640/Monroe Church Road. Turn right (south) on Rt. 640 and follow it south for 0.7 miles to Rt. 792/Reservoir Road. Turn left (east) onto Rt. 792 and proceed 0.5 miles to the main recreational access of the Sandy River Reservoir.

I am trying to show two equivalent metrics $p$ and $d$ on a set $X$ have the same convergent sequences. $p$ and $d$ are such that $kd(x,y) \leq p(x,y) \leq td(x,y)$ for every $x, y \in X$, $k$ and $t$ are positive constants.
Here's what I am doing -
As $p$ and $d$ are equivalent metrics they generate the same open sets.
Let $A$ be an open set generated by both $p$ and $d$.
As $A$ is open $X\backslash A$ is closed.
As $X\backslash A$ is closed, we can take a convergent sequence $(x_n) \in X\backslash A$ for all $n$, and it will converge to $x \in X\backslash A$.
Im not sure what to do now...can you just say it will converge to the same $x$ regardless of the metric being $p$ or $d$? I don't think I can. Should I be bringing open balls into it? Is there a need to use the positive constants $k$ and $t$?

I am trying to execute a PHP file through a Python server. However, I get the following error:
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/CGIHTTPServer.py", line 255, in run_cgi os.execve(scriptfile, args, os.environ) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied
The python server is running though.
What have I done so far?
- Chmod'ed recursively all directories to (chmod -R a+x) (I know this is not secure but its just for testing purposes) for both Python installation directories and my scripts.
- Tried to find out if python server is running as root through ps aux grep py
I am out of ideas. What could be going wrong else? Thanks for the feedback.

New Pension Reform Proposal Has Support From Both Sides of the Isle
House Republican Leader Tom Cross says the proposal could put billions of dollars back into the state's coffers. "If we would have been able to pass this bill a year ago and it had become law, we would have cut our pension plan down by two billion dollars. That is the significance of it. We have a 96-billion dollar unfunded liability. This bill would reduce that unfunded liability by almost $30-billion dollars," said Cross.
The proposal combines defined benefit and defined contribution plans for some workers. It also creates a new Tier for workers who start after January 1st, 2014 and are part of the university retirement system and the teacher's retirement systems. Those employees would pay four percent toward their pensions. Retirement age would go up for workers already in the systems. They'd also be required to pay two-percent more towards their pensions, and their cost of living adjustments would be delayed until their 67, or five years after they retire, whichever comes first.
The proposal is not finding support among the We Are One Illinois coalition backed by many of the State's largest public employee unions. They call the bill a step backwards and say like the previous approach it continues to focus on unfair, unconstitutional benefit cuts that erode the value of retirees' pension.
The group feels the hybrid 401k plan the proposal would create harms retirement security for a new generation, even though this feature does not substantially address the state's unfunded liability. They note employees like teachers, state university personnel, and police officers already do not receive Social Security, and more than half of their retirement would be at market risk under a hybrid proposal like HB 3411.
The coalition says the bill clearly defies the constitution and diminishes benefits unilaterally. If overturned, that means Illinois will be in a deeper hole, and the legislature will have kicked the can down the road again."

Moynahan sounds amused as she describes how she looked at that stage. "I started when 'doughy' was in. If you go back— and I hope you don't—to my Glamour and Self covers, I have a completely round face, and the hair was bigger." Her first year as a model was a revelation to her. "I had the most wild experiences," she recalls, "from being dirt poor and living with a bunch of other people and eating chili four days in a row to making what at that age was a lot of money and seeing the world."
While she admits to partying back then, Moynahan expresses astonishment at the antics of such current reality-show stars as Kim Kardashian, whose fame was launched by a sex tape, and Snooki of Jersey Shore, arrested for disorderly conduct. "They're putting forward material that you're never going to live down," she says. "Really poor behavior is going on, but now it's considered OK. There's a lack of self-respect that I don't understand, and I find it kind of sad. Kim has made an incredible career out of whatever she did, and the same with Snooki. They are icons of this generation. That kind of fame—do you get satisfaction out of it long term? Is it worth it? I don't know."
By the time she reached her late twenties, Moynahan had started to question her place in the fashion and beauty business. "Nobody's asking your opinion, you don't have any say, sometimes your humor isn't appreciated," she says. "I got a little tired of just being there as the face or the body." She thought she might go back to school but "decided to pursue the acting while I still had the opportunity."
Her commitment to the new field crystallized one day while she was working on a commercial with Ellen Pompeo, who now stars in Grey's Anatomy. Moynahan says she asked her, "How do you go in there and say 'I love cat food' with such conviction?" She recalls Pompeo responding, "This is how I pay my bills." The conversation led Moynahan to decide to take acting lessons. "It was a turning point for me," she says. "I was going in for commercials based on the fact that I was a model who had the [right] look. Acting is not just based on the way you look. I needed to be a better actress." That didn't happen overnight. "I didn't go out on auditions until I felt I was ready," she says. "I gave myself three years."
Career Liftoff
Sam Harris met Moynahan in 1998 when they both worked on an independent movie, In the Weeds. "She had a tiny little part," he says. "She was definitely nervous."
Some fledgling actors spend years honing their craft in small roles, but Moynahan quickly won two splashy parts. In 1999 she was cast as Sarah Jessica Parker's nemesis, Natasha, who married Mr. Big in Sex and the City. "It was scary," she recalls. "I was a young actress and hadn't done anything. I'm just happy I didn't fall apart." She also won the role of a sexy bartender in the commercially successful movie Coyote Ugly. Those screen triumphs led to starring parts in such big-budget action-adventure movies as The Sum of All Fears and I, Robot, plus a long list of other credits.
Critics have been so consistently dazzled by her appearance (she was dubbed "sexy" by the New York Times in the TV series Six Degrees, "lovely" by USA Today in the movie Noise and "ridiculously beautiful" by Esquire) that they scarcely ever discuss her onscreen performances. "She's so talented, but I think it's almost taken for granted," says Selleck. Acting teacher Iris Klein, who has been working with Moynahan for many years, says, "She's very hardworking, dedicated. Some people would say, 'I'm really pretty, I can get in on my looks,' but that's not what she's about at all."
