I'd like to 'fake' a 404 page in Rails. In PHP, I would just send a header with the error code as such:
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
How is that done with Rails?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I'd like to 'fake' a 404 page in Rails. In PHP, I would just send a header with the error code as such:
How is that done with Rails?
Don't render 404 yourself, there's no reason to; Rails has this functionality built in already. If you want to show a 404 page, create a
Rails also handles
This does two things better:
1) It uses Rails' built in
without having to write ugly conditional statements.
As a bonus, it's also super easy to handle in tests. For example, in an rspec integration test:
HTTP 404 Status
To return a 404 header, just use the
If you want to render the standard 404 page you can extract the feature in a method.
and call it in your action
If you want the action to render the error page and stop, simply use a return statement.
ActiveRecord and HTTP 404
Also remember that Rails rescues some ActiveRecord errors, such as the
It means you don't need to rescue this action yourself
You can simplify it by delegating to Rails the check. Simply use the bang version.
The newly Selected answer submitted by Steven Soroka is close, but not complete. The test itself hides the fact that this is not returning a true 404 - it's returning a status of 200 - "success". The original answer was closer, but attempted to render the layout as if no failure had occurred. This fixes everything:
Here's a typical test set of mine for something I expect to return 404, using RSpec and Shoulda matchers:
This healthy paranoia allowed me to spot the content-type mismatch when everything else looked peachy :) I check for all these elements: assigned variables, response code, response content type, template rendered, layout rendered, flash messages.
I'll skip the content type check on applications that are strictly html...sometimes. After all, "a skeptic checks ALL the drawers" :)
FYI: I don't recommend testing for things that are happening in the controller, ie "should_raise". What you care about is the output. My tests above allowed me to try various solutions, and the tests remain the same whether the solution is raising an exception, special rendering, etc.
these will help you...
Application Controller
Errors controller
The selected answer doesn't work in Rails 3.1+ as the error handler was moved to a middleware (see github issue).
Here's the solution I found which I'm pretty happy with.
and in
And in my resources (show, edit, update, delete):
This could certainly be improved, but at least, I have different views for not_found and internal_error without overriding core Rails functions.
You could also use the render file:
Where you can choose to use the layout or not.
Another option is to use the Exceptions to control it:
just add this to the page you want to render to the 404 error page and you are done.
To test the error handling, you can do something like this:
If you want to handle different 404s in different ways, consider catching them in your controllers. This will allow you to do things like tracking the number of 404s generated by different user groups, have support interact with users to find out what went wrong / what part of the user experience might need tweaking, do A/B testing, etc.
I have here placed the base logic in ApplicationController, but it can also be placed in more specific controllers, to have special logic only for one controller.
The reason I am using an if with ENV['RESCUE_404'], is so I can test the raising of AR::RecordNotFound in isolation. In tests, I can set this ENV var to false, and my rescue_from would not fire. This way I can test the raising separate from the conditional 404 logic.

Four & More!
Yikes, this old blog just turned 4 years old the other day. Thanks to those of you who've stuck around, it's been swell fun. I might do a bit of a celebratory Delishcast next week but for now I've got the very best birthday gift of all - the latest Black Cow record. Four releases in (coincidence? I think NOT) and it's been made even more clear that, for me, it's the best edits label currently in existence. The B-side on this one is an absolute monster... Massive party vibes and some of the most ridiculous bass shredding you'll encounter. Where they find this shit I have no idea, but I'd do anything to move there and dig full time. I am in HEAVEN.
Black Cow - Rotation No. 5 [buy]
I think now that this 'ere blog is getting older and wiser (nah probs senile) I'd like to make things a bit more broad and cover some of the other sounds in my life of which there are plenty. Ever since hearing Forest Flower by Charles Lloyd when I was 16 I've been so keen to find more psychedelic jazz that reaches those heights. I picked up this Lloyd album 'Geeta' a couple of months ago, which seems like it's been massively overlooked in his discography, and it's such a gem. Such cool instrumentalist credits too: "Charles Lloyd - Soprano Flute, Alto Flute, Tenor Saxophone, Transcending Sonship in Rhythm, Sound & Color." Anyway check out this beautiful journey through classic rock and free jazz, hopefully it might excite a few of youuuuuuuuu
Charles Lloyd - Geeta Suite
One of the things I really hate about digital music is how quickly new tunes get lost in the abyss of a clogged up iTunes. I've been doing some risky all-shuffle action lately hoping to uncover some stuff I've forgotten about and it's been pretty successful. This Dennis Jr. track from early last year is something I'm really stoked to have found again. A brilliant fusion between deep dubbed out electronic dance music and sporadic noodling jazz improvisation. With the late Dennis Otone cutting loose on the alto over a progressive dance backing with a really deep vibe that steadily heads deeper and darker (even flirting with acid at the end!), this is just such an awesome mix of perfectly balanced flavours. Really superb stuff this! And well worth wading through all the shit on my hard drive for.
Dennis Jr feat. Dennis Otone - Daytime Dream pt. 1 & 2 [buy]
And just cos it's my party and I'll do whatever the fuck I want thank you very much:
Amadeo - Memories
Thanks again dear friends, got lots and lots of love for you all! xx

I also liked Charles Lloyd's rendition of Back Street Girl on the Geeta album. It was a nice counterpoint to Geeta, as it was pretty much a straight play-through, with a little added dancing lilt to it.
I'd be most grateful if you'd rip and post that, too!
Thanks for ALL the great stuff.

This can only end in disaster.After telling Men's Journal that he cried "six or seven times" during The Help, Wahlberg claims he could have stopped 9/11 with his bare hands: If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to land somewhere safely, don't worry.' This statement upset some 9/11 widows, but what they don't understand is that Mark Wahlberg's bare hands are very powerful, due to the strength of masturbation deferred: Advertisement I don't get down with jerking off, dude. Look. I don't believe in everything that the church says. I try to do the right thing. I lead a clean and pure life. I'm a married guy. I have a beautiful wife. Sex is not the most important thing to me, being horny all the time, spanking the—I mean, it's not against the law. You can do whatever you want. And it's not like, 'I shouldn't do it because of my faith. I'm just not really that into it that much anyway. Asked about what will happen when his daughter starts dating, Wahlberg sputters, "it's not a good thought for me to have. Thinking about it really stresses me out, so don't stress me out right now, because that's a stressful thought, OK?" For some reason I can't stop imagining a wild-eyed Wahlberg drumming his knuckles compulsively and chewing his lip until it bleeds. Countdown to a Cruise-ian couch-jumping incident starts now.

"Certainly security is on all our minds," said Board Of Education President Glenn Swanson last week. "It is something we are looking at."
A major step was taken in 2001 when school entryways were restricted to force everyone to enter through a single entrance. The high school office was moved to the front entryway, forcing visitors to go through the office to sign in. Security cameras were installed among much controversy on the school board and within the community about privacy rights. But parents are concerned about the effectiveness of that system.
"I have a student in the elementary school, and I can tell you that I am up at night because I know that any day I can walk into the elementary school without seeing another human adult," Susan Tabrizi told the board. "Even thought there may be someone who is looking at me over a video monitor I've come into the school and had no one be in the office. The way the elementary school is is set up you can be in a cafeteria full of children without having to pass anyone. That's what keeps me up at night."
Superintendent Chris Pettograsso says that the shared decision making teams and the safety team are considering a more stringent system. She says that a new system is being considered for inclusion in the 2014-15 school budget. Rather than relying on a single point of entry, doorways into the schools would be monitored by video and visitors would have to be buzzed in. Pettograsso says that some schools in the region already have systems like this.
"We are talking to our community about those types of things," she said. "We're also talking to law enforcement about that. Deputy Pete Walker is our consultant. We're working with him and the community."
Pettograsso added that non-school programs that use the facilities such as the swimming pool pose more of a challenge than the times during the school day. She said that the cleaners have protocols for securing the buildings each evening.
"Our biggest concern is after-school hours, when our buildings are open," she said. "We're working with the Town Recreation Department because when our activities are in session we have chaperones at the high school and the middle school. When Rec is there there aren't chaperones. it's a different situation. So we're talking to the Rec Department about having a monitor."
Specific security measures are mandated by the New York State Departments of Education (NYSED) and Labor (DOL). DOL mandates such things as having a hazardous communications program in place, as well as protective equipment, and plans for chemical hygiene (especially in the Science Department) and exposure control. NYSED requires public access to defibrillation equipment and emergency management, pest and critical response programs. The mandates require annual reviews of these programs and safety drills.
The district implemented employee swipe card access in 2012, as well as access control, cameras at school entrances, in hallways and in school busses, and a call alarm system.
Swanson said that committees are continuing to consider implementing new systems. A buzzer/intercom system is on the agenda, as well as additional video cameras at strategic locations. The safety committee is also considering better solutions for students who have to go between the high and middle schools and the tech building behind the middle school. This year the traffic patterns for busses and parents picking up their children at the middle school were adjusted. Middle School Principal Jamie Thomas says the new system is proving to be safer.
At the end of 2012 the district solicited input from parents, faculty, staff and the community at large. A number of concerns were logged with emphasis on adults being able to access school areas, often without signing in or apparently being monitored. Pettograsso says that any new plans will rely on community input, and that committees are working on solutions right now. A schedule of the meetings is listed on the school Web site, as well as resources for parents and a copy of the district's safety plan. Swanson said that the Facilities Committee meets regularly to plan future measures and invited Tabrizi to join, which she said she would like to do.

Fine-grain pipelined architectures for adaptive infinite impulse response (AIIR) filters are presented in this paper. The AIIR filters are equation error based. The proposed architectures are developed by employing a combination of scattered look-ahead and relaxed look-ahead pipelining techniques. First, a pipelined system identification scenario is developed. Then, the scattered look-ahead technique is applied to the nonadaptive (but time-varying) recursive section. Finally, a relaxed look-ahead technique is applied to the adaptive blocks. Convergence analysis of the pipelined architectures is presented and verified via simulations. It is shown that speedups of up to 8 and more can be achieved with marginal or no degradation in performance

23 November Declared 'Black Wednesday'
Monday 21 November, 2011 - 10:39
The National Press Club (NPC) has called on South Africans to wear black on 23 November 2011, in protest against the controversial Protection of [State] Information Bill (Secrecy Bill).
The club chairperson, Yusuf Abramjee, points out that the Bill poses serious threat to South Africa's 17-year democracy, adds that, "...we are again facing censorship.
Abramjee, who argues that the Bill threatens freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom of the media, further calls on all South Africans to stand up now and raise their voice.

This World Trade Center BASE Jumping Video Might Make You Faint
Thought Man on Wire was vertigo-inducing? This video of two daredevils BASE jumping off the Freedom Tower just might have topped it. If you can handle a spinning head and a churning stomach, it makes for incredible viewing.
Shot last September, the video shows three men psyching themselves up with a quick prayer, a few deep breaths, and the mantra, "You got this, man," before leaping off the building. Thanks to a helmet cam, we can experience the plummet for ourselves and take in the unbelievable views (Ooh, look! Whole Foods!). Strangely, the jumper with the helmet cam doesn't make a single peep during his death-defying leap.
Though the men landed safely, they and a fourth accomplice were arrested yesterday and face charges of burglary, reckless endangerment, and additional violations. "These men violated the law and placed themselves, as well as others, in danger," police commissioner William Bratton tells Metro. "These arrests should send a message to anyone thinking about misusing a landmark this way. They will be tracked down and they will face serious charges. Being a thrill-seeker does not give immunity from the law."
Given this stunt and a previous incident in which a teenage boy climbed up the WTC undetected, the building may want to beef up security. Let this be a lesson to daredevils...and security professionals. (Elite Daily)

The human body is an amazing metabolic machine—thousands of enzymes catalyze an equivalent (and impressive) number of chemical reactions that allow the body to run properly. This complexity also means that there are many ways that things can go wrong. The Metabolic and Genetic Information Center, a site hosted by the School of Medicine at the University of Tuebingen, Germany, catalogs a large number of genetic disorders that result in defective metabolism. One can browse the database by disease name or symptoms. For each disease, the website lists clinical symptoms, incidence rate, treatment and other basic information; however, the main focus of the database is to provide links to relevant literature on PubMed. To that end, visitors to the site can also search the catalogued references by author. Unfortunately, while this site is definitely still a useful resource on the topic of genetic diseases, the last update was in 2010. As such, there are no literature citations more recent than that year.

In addition to cutting pipes from the vacant former school, police said, Seck is also charged with possession of brass stolen from a Mendon property.

A hybrid is a person, who looks much like everyone else here on Earth, but has had upto 10% alien DNA spliced into them.
We're grown in tubes. Our mothers are almost alway hybrids too .. but at this point in time, our mothers are zapped up into ships/other dimensions and we are placed in the womb.
So in a sense, we're genetic experiments ... That said, we're all hybrids if we look back far enough. We all come from one, a long, long time ago.
Ok so how do u know that you are one? Im sure there arent many gp clinics where u can go in and say ill have a dna test please and tell me if its 100% human.
Anonymous Coward 1259759
Im asking because i truly want to know so please dont think im attacking you also i have seen a 4ft blue glowing creature in my room next to my bed holding sometihng retangular coming towards me and 2 weeks ago i saw a 6ft tall creature cream coloured with a thing neck i couldnt see its head properly but it was oval shaped and it was too holding a retangular object coming towards me it looked liek a large peice of paper or a thin pillow. i reached out to touch it and it cam towards me then i got scared and yelled out go in jesus name and it vansihed.

Look up the "black box" .. is this what it was handing you?
Anonymous Coward 1214258
I looked up the blak box and its a recorder on airplanes? No this thing was white it was about a meter long and a half meter wide i got scared the second time because ithought it was a pillow but then i thought no it looks like paper when i thought it was a pillow i thought OMG this thing is coming to suffocate me in my sleep the second experience where this hapened i actually talked to it I said who are you? who's there? and it came towards me then i sat right up in bed and stared right at it i streched out my hand to touch it and started trying to slap it away and quicly said i commande u to leave i didnt invite you hear in jesus christ name! And it left through the ceiling.
I told my sister she said it was prob sleep paraylisis i agreed cause i didnt want to seem nuts but i think it was real i could fully move my entire body sleep paraylisis you cant move at all or u can only wiggle yr fingers or toes i fully sat up i knew i was awake after it vanished i turned the light on and it was gone my heart was racing and i kept saying im not afraid because god wil protect me i asked for angels to come and i felt peaceful.
I dont know what it was trying to give me or if it was trying to suffocate me all i know i didnt get scared until it came towards me and it didnt speak so yea i know im not nuts i know this happened but yea its weird.
I have also seen black shadow figures in my home and in my car kicking the back of my seat i soudns nuts even i thought i was going nuts but there was a wind in the room...all the windows and door were closed... yes i checked.. and double cheked i felt something brush my neck and my hair moved as if a window was open it was 7ft standing next to me and i looked at it and laughed my head off tho my heart was racing i rebuked it and told it to leave and never come back. I read psalm 91 in the bible and i command the promises of protection written there it made the black shadow ppl go away but the creatures at night still dared to come..
I wonder what they wanted all i know it couldnt have been good. I felt liek they were trying to tll me something but fear of the unkown made me make them go away.
The blue creature i talked about had a viking like hat on well at first i thought it was a hat and then i realised it was a part of its head its looked liek it was dressed for battle in the old viking times and the cream creature looked naked. i didnt see any bits of its genitals or anything liek that because it was holding that retangular thing
I am starting to think these are fallen angels pretending to be aliens trying to freak me out

There's a prediction from ASI this week that the next big thing in promotional products will be adult coloring books. Yes, you read that right. Coloring books with amazingly intricate patterns intended for adults. The kind that call for fine tipped markers or colored pencils.
Maybe you've noticed them yourself. Over the holidays, stores reported them as a popular gift. Five of Amazon's current top 15 best selling books are adult coloring books. A recent Fortune article points out that adult coloring books are one of the biggest contributors to the boost in print book sales.

Searching for a Lost Visigothic City
Friday, June 28, 2013
VICÁLVARO, SPAIN—Government officials are planning to build thousands of housing units on the site of a necropolis that dates between the fifth and eighth centuries A.D., when the Germanic Visigoths ruled what is now Spain. The cemetery held the remains of 1,500 people, who must have lived in a nearby city whose location is unknown. Before construction begins, archaeologists will search the area for traces of the settlement, which they believe must be no farther than a mile from the necropolis. Opposition politicians have demanded the site be preserved, but the regional government has so far refused to grant it protected status.

Complaining About Corns?
I have corns on my feet. How can I remove them using herbal medicine?
Answer (Published 5/3/2002)
Corns are usually caused by pressure or friction from shoes that are too tight or too loose. Tight shoes press against the toes. Loose ones that slide and rub against your foot can also be a problem as can seams or stitches inside a shoe.

Dr. Weil on Healthy Aging for Arthritis - Whether you have osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, a healthy lifestyle, diet and prudent supplement routine may help bring relief. Start your 14-day free trial of Dr. Weil on Healthy Aging for information, recipes, eating guides and more.
Medically, corns are known as hyperkeratoses of the skin - thickening and hardening of the surface layer with a deep-seated core or nucleation. Corns can make walking or standing miserably uncomfortable.
Usually corns appear on the tops of the toes where they push up against your shoes. But they can appear at any site of continuous pressure on the foot. Obviously, the ultimate solution is prevention. The first step is to find and wear shoes that fit properly and comfortably. Make sure they are appropriate for your daily activities, and that they do not slip or bind when you walk - this will help to prevent corns from forming. If you still experience discomfort, try these suggestions:
In addition to making sure that your shoes fit properly, don't wear socks or stockings that bind your feet too tightly. Women prone to corns should avoid high heeled shoes because they increase pressure on the forefoot where corns develop.

Product Description
Shawn Desman seems bent on following in the footsteps of fellow Portuguese-Canadian teen pop sensation, Nelly Furtado, in bringing his own brand of slickly produced, hip-hop-influenced pop to the masses. Though the 19-year-old Desmans voice is strong and clear, his lyrics suitably hip and young, he doesnt have a whole lot more to distinguish himself from the scads of other R&B crooners out there, other than his striking good looks and dancing skills (he even thanks his choreographer in the credits). Which, come to think of it, may actually be enough. Luckily, generic teen pop is not Desmans only gig. He also has an established Latin fan base and recently recorded a duet with Brazilian superstar Alexandre Pires, and has done some acting in movies and commercials. All of which is just slightly more interesting than this rather fluffy self-titled debut filled with a dozen variations on the teen-love theme. --Adem Tepedelen
Album Description
2002 debut album for Canadian artist nominated for two Juno Awards (Canada's Grammys), Soul Recording of the Year & New Artist of the Year. 16 tracks including, 'Shook', 'Get Ready', & 'Spread My Wings'. Vik/BMG.

The first time i heard this album i listened to it 10 times straight - NO JOKE!!
It has a collection of upbeat RnB songs such as - 'Bow', 'Never Change Me', 'Yo-Yo','Shook', 'Get Ready' & 'Better than Me'.
And then you have the mad ballads - 'Superman', 'Just about You' and 'Difference'
All the songs have great meanings and you'll just wanna sing along.
The only thing that i'm waiting for now, is for Shawn Desman to bring out another album!

Kids in the Water
Summertime swim safety.
WebMD Feature
June 5, 2000 -- On a recent Saturday morning, a few small children and a swim instructor played ring-around-the-rosy during a preschool beginner's swim class for 3- to 5-year-olds at a YWCA in suburban Des Moines, Iowa. The children stood on a table placed in the shallow end. Sitting poolside, Michelle Quinn watched her daughter Bridget, almost 3, splash around.
This scene is a common one at pools across the country, but parents are advised to take a closer look at all swimming programs for children under age 4, says the American Academy of Pediatrics. That group recently made headlines with a recommendation that children younger than 4 stay away from swimming lessons altogether because they aren't developmentally ready.
"I just thought my daughter would have fun and get used to the water," Quinn says of her 3-year-old. But other parents, says the Academy, may get a false sense of security, thinking that swim programs for the very young -- some of which welcome infants and toddlers -- can teach children to stay safe in the water.
No Way to "Drown-Proof"
"We wanted to make certain that people understand that there is no published scientific evidence that those programs for infants and toddlers are going to make your baby safer," says Barb Smith, MD, a Tucson pediatrician who helped write the swim policy. The Academy particularly wanted to warn parents away from the minority of swim programs that claim to "drown-proof" small children by repeatedly immersing them in water.

Blurred Lines Between Military and Humanitarian Efforts in Afghanistan Raise More Questions than Answers

Learning from Iraqi Good Samaritans
Just a few days ago, I returned from a short trip into Iraq with a small group of Christian peacemakers. Most of us had been to the country before, but under varying circumstances: I was on a combat deployment in 2004; Greg Barrett, our organizer, went as a journalist in the run-up to the invasion in 2003; and four were part of a peace team protesting the bombing campaign during that same period.
Shane Claiborne, Cliff Kindy, Weldon Nisly, and Peggy Gish were leaving Iraq in March 2003 when one of their vehicles was involved in an accident, leaving Cliff and Weldon with life-threatening injuries. Had it not been for a few Iraqi Good Samaritans, they may have never made it out alive.

France said Monday it joined with the Rwandan people in honouring the victims of the 1994 genocide, despite a diplomatic row with Kigali.
"France joins with the Rwandan people to honour the memories of all victims of the genocide," the French presidency said in a statement.
"The Rwandan genocide was one of the worst atrocities of our time. It was committed while the world watched and was unable to prevent it," the statement said.
"We have a duty to do everything possible to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening again," it said. "The prevention of genocide has become a central part of France's foreign policy."

• Grace Wang of TorontoIt's my last day in Hong Kong and I'm spending it indoors - specifically - at a Starbucks in Kowloon Station across from the cross-border bus terminal, of which I'm booked to get on a bus in 3 hours back to Mainland China.
Across from me in the cushy tan sofa, a woman is dozing over an English newspaper. The headlines reads "EU summit puts off the tough decisions"... Hmm, not exactly light Sunday afternoon readings (or is it Saturday? I lose count). She has long curly dark brown hair that is half-dry and is dressed fashionably in jeans and a black leather jacket. She looked a little anxious when asking whether the seat was taken, and a little taken aback when I blurted out "no" in English (caffeine hasn't quite sank in then yet). Is the newspaper part of an effort to brush up on her English? I wonder. Did she have a rough night? Is she waiting for someone?

The Sephardim who performed chalita don't do it anymore based on scientific basis. The machloket for hundreds of years was wether chalita was a requirement for kashering meat or it did the opposite and rendered it non-kosher. Science shows that chalita makes it impossible to ever kasher the meat. So to answer your question, nobody nowadays practices chalita

Orthodox Jewish design duo are branded 'appalling' and 'shameful' for posting a photo of Muslim fashion blogger wearing their modest-chic wares
A Brooklyn-based women's clothing line run by two Orthodox Jews has come under fire for sharing a picture to Instagram of a popular Muslim fashion blogger wearing one of their designs.
Mimu Maxi, a boutique specializing in modest-yet-stylish clothing, received dozens of furious responses from their Jewish followers, who accused them of being 'insensitive' to the worsening conflict in Israel.
The sisters-in-law behind the line, Mushky Notik and Mimi Hecht, responded on Facebook, saying they stand by their decision to post the picture 100per cent because 'this kind of collaboration and awareness is a huge component in fighting ignorance and hatred toward Jews.'
A picture that tells a thousand words: Muslim blogger Summer Albarcha is wearing a lime-green skirt by Orthodox Jew-owned clothing line Mimu Maxi
The photo was a regram from Summer Albarcha, creator of Hipster Hijabis, a popular Instagram account with pictures of stylish women (mostly Ms Albarcha herself) wearing headscarves.
In the picture, Ms Albarcha is wearing Mimu Maxi's ankle-length lime-green skirt, Jessica Simpson shoes, an H&M cardigan - and, of course, a hijab.
Negative comments started pouring into Mimu Maxi's Instagram comments sections almost immediately after they posted the picture. One user called the picture 'appalling' and another said it was 'definitely not the right timing.' Numerous women said they wouldn't shop the brand again.
'This is highly inappropriate,' said Instagram user Raizys24. 'I find it surprising that you would that this would be a source of promotion given the majority of your customer base. Disappointing.'
User Geturfingeon added: 'I understand that you're attempting to diversify your customer body and get on the peace and love train; however, I believe as Jews we must remain true to our values and maintain a sensitivity towards and brothers and sisters in Israel.
'Not every Muslim belongs to Hamas. Many Muslims wants peace just like the rest of us. Lay off, people'
Followers of Mimu Maxi came to their defense - and messages of support quickly outweighed the vitriol.
User Alyssamagic said to the negative commenters: 'I am an Israeli crouching in a bomb shelter and I felt no offense when I saw this picture. Quite the contrary. Things in Israel are tense, but seeing that other cultures also like long skirts did not hit a soft spot. However, the messages of hatred here did indeed hit a soft spot.'
Later, Thejewishwomanslife pointed out: 'Not every Muslim belongs to Hamas. Many Muslims want peace just like the rest of us. Lay off, people.'
And Faytenem made a comforting realization: 'You might be losing a few hateful, ignorant customers, but I think you are gaining a lot more fans who are more the kind of people you want as customers. So it's a win-win for you!'
Fashion under fire: Orthodox Jewish designers Mimi Hecht (left) and Mushky Notik (right) sparked controversy when they posted a picture of a Muslim fashion blogger wearing one of their designs
Mrs Notik and Mrs Hecht, clearly disturbed by the whole situation, responded to their critics on Facebook, saying they didn't regret posting the picture and weren't going to take it down.
They wrote: 'We were shocked to see women immediately pit themselves against us, essentially accusing us of being insensitive, putting our business above morals, and threatening to "unfollow" and never purchase from us again -- effectively "copying" the way of Israel/Jewish haters by boycotting a beautiful, holy Jewish business!'
In the essay, they said they talked to their Rabbi, would said it was a Mitzvah, or a blessing, to promote modesty in the world - regardless of religion.
They also brought up Ms Albarcha, saying that she's a 'modest fashion blogger from Missouri who shares some of our deepest values and did not deserve the ensuring respond simply by collaborating with us.'
As for Ms Albarcha, she told the Village Voice she never would have expected the hateful messages: 'I had more of an idea that this collaboration would show Mimu Maxi's versatility with all faiths through their modest clothing.'
'These comments were not discouraging at all,' she continued, 'but rather empowered me to understand that there is a possibility for everything when posting on social media.'
Ms Albarcha, like Mimu Maxi, gained many new followers from the controversy.

APC Back-UPS Connect
If you're familiar with UPS systems—uninterruptible power supplies—you likely know they're usually designed for devices with huge power consumption requirements, such as desktop computers or even servers. APC had a pretty brilliant alternative idea: why not offer an inexpensive option to keep laptops and tablets online when the power goes out by guaranteeing enough energy for your router and modem, which require a lot less juice? That's what Back-UPS Connect ($50) is for. The compact, reasonably-priced system strikes us useful both at home and in the office.
APC's three-outlet system promises to provide about three and a half hours of power to low-drain systems such as modems, routers, and VoIP phones. This should be enough to keep you going while working off of battery power on your MacBook, iPad, or iPhone. If you want, you could even charge those devices from the UPS, although that will definitely drain it faster.
