Stay warm and cozy even while a storm rages outside. Hot cocoa optional, but very highly recommended (spiked, if need be).

Apparently, “professional Wicca consultant” is a job and other unexpected facts about the production of this '90s movie.
Several odd and kind of creepy things disrupted the filming of this Invocation scene, in which the girls are using actual Wiccan invocations:
- A flock of bats descended on the group, extinguishing the candles.
- Several times while trying to begin the scene, waves suddenly rolled up the beach in full force.
- In one take, when Nancy says, "Manon, fill me," the crew lost power.

Director Andrew Fleming hired Wicca consultant Pat Devin — High Priestess of Covenant of the Goddess — to help with the project and she had considerable influence on shaping details of the narrative. Devin made sure the spells would be common enough that they could be found in basic books on Wicca, and she even wrote some of the chants, consulting with her two Covens (even got permission from one of the High Priestesses for one).

Robin Tunney wore a wig during filming because she had just finished shooting Empire Records, for which she went bald.

"Manon" — the name of the spirit/deity — is not an actual Wiccan deity although there are Gods with similar-sounding names. Devin thought it best to use a fictional name so as to avoid offending the Wiccan community and prevent fans of the film from re-creating the Invocation scene, which (depending on what you believe) could be dangerous. The name Manon was supposedly inspired by this 1988 French film, Manon of the Spring.

Meet Ted Ellis, mayor of Bluffton, Indiana.
Ellis has been mayor of Bluffton since 1995.
Via Wikipedia:
Bluffton is one of the first towns...across America, to both publicly acknowledge its history of exclusion and to promote itself as an inclusive town. In 2006, Bluffton was featured in USA Today as an inclusive town that was putting up welcoming, inclusive signs at all local schools as well as at the entrances of three state highways. Mayor Ted Ellis was noted in the article for his helping Bluffton become one of the first to join the National League of Cities' Partnership for Working Toward Inclusive Communities.
I mean, look at that face:
I WANT TO INCLUDE YOU IN MY TOWN!

On ESPN's College GameDay, Notre Dame senior Casey Murdock hit the State Farm half-court shot for $18,000 on his second try. Only three people have ever made the shot in GameDay history.
Even if you correctly despise Valentine's Day, this is a story for all eternity.

ABC's political thriller has gone from trashy fun to legitimately good TV. Here are the characters worth tuning in for.
This is Olivia Pope's show, and don't you forget it. Kerry Washington has finally found a showcase for her talents: Olivia is a fascinating figure, both fiercely driven and emotionally vulnerable. Her up-and-down journey this season cemented her as one of TV's best leads.

Fitz is unlike any TV president who came before him: he's sexy, charming, and a Republican. He also went very dark at the culmination of the election-rigging arc in a move that could alienate fans but makes him all the more compelling.
Image by ABC
Josh Malina is often cast in the nerdy side roles, but David Rosen is a part with some serious weight to it: sure, he serves his purpose as an adversary to Olivia. But he's also an obsessive, complicated man who keeps getting screwed by the system.

Forget House of Cards: Scandal's power couple in the White House is all the political scheming and backstabbing you need. Mellie was a nuisance when she first showed up, but she has grown into an impressive (and terrifying) force of nature.

Thanks physics! Serendipitous timing and surface tension merge to create an amazing photo.

The photo was snapped back in July when as Clary completed the 200m Backstroke Final in Shanghai.
According to Fuck Yeah Fluid Dynamics:
Surface tension arises from intermolecular forces between water molecules. In the bulk of the liquid, any given water molecule is being pulled on in every direction by the surrounding molecules, which results in zero net force. At the surface, however, molecules only experience forces from those to the side and below them. As a result, these molecules are pulled inwards, forcing the liquid to take on a form with minimal area.
Just one of the many problems that can arise when designers popularize something like neon.
On Friday at New York Fashion Week, Jason Wu presented a lovely (dare I say FLOTUS-worthy) show. The runway was arranged in a square around a giant chandelier that flickered rhythmically with the music. This meant that when photographers shot the clothes as they came down the runway, audience members couldn't help but be included in the shot.

Aren't the runway clothes so pretty, though??

Kobe Bryant is the Weirdest Human.
At 2:22 a.m. this morning, Kobe Bryant posted a five-second video to Facebook of him playing Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" on a piano. It is weird in the way that only a legendary basketball player posting a five-second video of himself playing Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" to Facebook at 2:22 a.m. can be weird.
Coco Rocha and her team of models from The Face take the ugly face challenge — and crush it.

The controversial marine conservation group makes Greenpeace look like Romper Room.
You've probably seen news footage of Sea Shepherd boats, in the process of trying to defend whales, getting rammed and even sunk by Japanese whaling vessels. They do not fuck around.
I love these ads. Inspiring.

Expensive shark fin soup is a must for many Chinese weddings. But more than 30 sharks have to be killed to feed a wedding banquet with 300 guests. So in 2011, Saatchi Singapore countered with these brutally frank ads.
