Wicca and Satanism are indeed very distinct religious categories. But there are some intimate historical ties between the two, as even some Wiccan scholars are finally starting to admit. See, for example, Aidan Kelly's book Crafting the Art of Magic (pp.21-22, 25-26, and 176). - Rory Sabbatini -- Sunday
Rory Sabbatini takes a great big swing at the golf ball just the way he lives his life in big gulps. Sunday at Colonial, a golf course that demands precision, Sabbatini led the field in putting. His game has more than one dimension. - Military-Industrial Complex -- Bush Administration
The Military Industrial Complex is not the Republican Party. In fact, it has a strong base of support inside the Democratic Party, expressed through its neocons. These neoconservatives, only some of whom are operating out of the Bush Administration, are now much older than they were in the 1960s when many of them emerged within the 'Scoop Jackson' wing of the party. That hawkish faction was named for late Washington Senator Henry Jackson known as "the senator from Boeing." - Andy Dick -- Hollywood Bowl
In “The Assistant,” Dick picks from 12 young people hoping to make it in the entertainment industry after they compete in menial tasks. The winner will receive a new wardrobe, car and an entry-level Hollywood gig. - Fade to Black -- Madison Square Garden

In an unprecedented event, a hip-hop artist sold out an arena in only two hours. The event was a spectacular culmination of Jay-Z's recording career prior to his self-proclaimed retirement from solo performing. Yet this one night ... defined a musical generation, showcasing the evolution and reach of the world's most popular music genre. Viewers get the rare glimpse of Jay-Z's creative process as he searches for inspiration, poetry, and perfection in his songs. - Ankh -- Ankh-Morpork
Ankh-Morpork is a fictional city-state which prominently features in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of fantasy novels. As cities go, it is on the far side of corrupt and polluted, and is subject to outbreaks of comedic violence and brou-ha-ha on a fairly regular basis. It is home to the Unseen University, a centre of magical learning. - Balance of Power -- White Balance
Fixing Indoor Light with White Balance - 'Many photos taken indoors have a yellow or brownish cast to them while others simply have dull colors or a lack of vitality. Why is this? Well, the fact of the matter is that regular indoor light can present some of the most beguiling shooting scenarios. This intuition-challenging fact arises because in many cases there seems to be enough light for good photos and if we have our cameras set on auto-flash, as is usually the case by default, the flash will often fail to fire because the camera agrees that there is plenty of light. The difficulty and likelihood of so-so or poor pictures results from the fact that indoor light is often the wrong kind of light.' - Kate Moss -- Calvin Klein
Kate Moss was the star of a series of provocative Calvin Klein ads which began running in 1992. Her extra-slender figure and blank gaze became a fashion model trend, often called the "waif look" (and sometimes criticized by those who felt it promoted an unhealthy body image). Moss became one of the most popular models of the 1990s, appearing in hundreds of magazine spreads and in popular ads for Klein and Versace among others. She ... gained a reputation for a tempestuous personal life, culminating in her visit to a London rehabilitation clinic in 1998 and then a further brouhaha in 2005 when the Daily Mirror newspaper photographed her allegedly sniffing cocaine in a London music studio. - Dixie Chicks -- Tour
Initial ticket sales for the Dixie Chicks’ upcoming tour are far below expectations and several dates will likely be canceled or postoned.

Venue capacities on the tour generally top 15,000.
