Danny Elfman Just Turned the Presidential Debate Into a Chilling Horror Movie
If you tuned in to the awkwardness of the second presidential debate, we've got a special Halloween-themed treat for you. During a few parts of said event, the strange staging and camera shots in particular had Donald Trump looming ominously in the background while Hillary Clinton spoke. Clinton herself even gave a nod to it when she talked about the debate on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "He was really trying to dominate and then literally stalk me around the stage," she said. "I would just feel this presence behind me." It seems she's not the only one who felt this way; the folks at Funny or Die enlisted the help of award-winning composer Danny Elfman to turn the debate into a horror film called Trump Stalks Hillary. Much like the rest of the 2016 election, you're probably going to lose sleep over it.

This Will Make You Rethink Everything You Thought About Petunia Dursley
Petunia Dursley was no angel. In fact, she was really quite terrible. She was at best negligent of a helpless child and, at worst, cruel to him. Harry Potter committed no crime save being related to Aunt Petunia's sister, and Lily committed no crime (that we know of), save being a witch. Whereas Vernon and Dudley's treatment of Harry can be attributed to their bigotry, ignorance, and fear of what they don't understand, Petunia's most definitely runs deeper. She was left behind by a sister she loved and isolated from a life and world she could never be a part of. And then, from her perspective, the people who took Lily away were also responsible for her death.
So her feelings toward Harry Potter were understandably conflicted - although this by no means justifies her terrible treatment of an orphan boy who needed a mother figure. But a moment in Goblet of Fire sheds light on a side of Petunia we hadn't really seen up until that point from the overindulging mother of a very, very spoiled child. In a moment of perceived danger, her maternal instincts kick in and her selfishness flies out the window faster than a speeding Bludger. A recent Reddit thread described the situation perfectly:
In the beginning of the book, there is a chapter where Mr. Weasley, the twins, and Ron arrive by floo powder at the Dursley's house to collect Harry. It's a funny chapter that really underscores the differences between wizards and the Dursleys, especially with Arthur vs. Vernon, but I was struck by the Dursley's bravery.
At first, Vernon shields Petunia and Dudley with his body while talking to the Weasleys, which is brave in and of itself, given how he feels about wizards. However, the scene that made me have to turn off the book and think for a minute happened after Ron and the twins had left. The twins had left behind the ton-tongue toffee, which Dudley had eaten, which forced his tongue to grow. Arthur steps towards him with a raised wand, saying he can fix it - as readers, we know he would never hurt Dudley, but the Dursleys don't have that insight.
Petunia and Vernon loathe wizards and are terrified of them. In this scene, this complete stranger, this wizard, has blasted apart their fireplace without a second thought, demonstrating a great deal of potentially destructive power. He steps forward toward Dudley, wand raised. Petunia immediately throws herself across Dudley, shielding him from what she perceives to be malicious intent, exactly like Lily shielded Harry from Voldemort.
It was a small detail, a single line in the book, but it blew me away. She may not be a likeable character, and is of course awful towards Harry, but in this moment she was remarkably selfless and brave in the perceived face of death or serious harm.
Does Petunia deserve a little more sympathy and understanding? Nothing excuses the way she treated Harry, but from her perspective, she's seen the bad side of magic more frequently than the good - which explains why she so adamantly wants to stamp it out of her nephew.
And don't forget the most important point of of all: when Petunia received the Howler from Dumbledore in Half-Blood Prince, she (for once) defied Vernon and absolutely insisted Harry be allowed to stay at Four Privet Drive. She knew doing so might very well be saving his life, the same way allowing him to come back each Summer protected it. She never wanted Harry dead; she simply did not want the daily reminder of a dead sister and her own guilt over their unresolved relationship.
Then, in her final goodbye to Harry, although she can't bring herself to show any love toward him, she does the only thing she can do:
"Aunt Petunia, whose face had been buried in her handkerchief, looked around at the sound. She did not seem to have expected to find herself alone with Harry. Hastily stowing her wet handkerchief into her pocket, she said, 'Well - good-bye,' and marched toward the door without looking at him.
'Good-bye,' said Harry.
She stopped and looked back. For a moment Harry had the strangest feeling that she wanted to say something to him. She gave him an odd, tremulous look and seemed to teeter on the edge of speech, but then, with a little jerk of her head, she bustled out of the room after her husband and son."
She is not a character with some heart of gold buried beneath her facade, and she isn't even someone I'd say is redeemable (like Severus Snape, for instance). She has no love for Harry. She's someone with a difficult past, who was put in a hard situation and who responded to that in the wrong way. Sadly, she never really allowed herself the chance to make it right. One has to hope that her son, Dudley, with his final handshake and moving goodbye to Harry, one day decided to have the courage that the other Dursleys didn't - to become a better person than he was raised to be.

This Underwater Rainbow Baby Maternity Photo Is Going to Take Your Breath Away
About a year ago, Teresa Creech was called by the local hospital to photograph a premature baby who was in poor condition and would not survive. The somber shoot, which also featured the baby's parents, Siggy and Mariela, and their six- and eight-year-old children, stuck with Creech over the course of the year. She decided to reach out to the couple on Facebook to say hello, when she was given the exciting news that they were 30 weeks pregnant.
Creech agreed to shoot their maternity photos, and the results are some of the most beautiful and creative photos we've seen - they're all completely underwater! Along with photos of the mama-to-be in a gorgeous, flowing maroon dress, Creech took one very special photo with colorful ribbons to honor the baby they lost while celebrating their rainbow baby.
The Universe Is a Lot Bigger Than Scientists Thought - About 10 Times Bigger
New findings from NASA and the Hubble Space Telescope indicate that the universe is much larger than we'd ever thought. Scientists originally believed the universe contained about 100 to 200 billion galaxies. Turns out, that estimate is way off, and there could be as many as 2 trillion galaxies, according to a press release.
A British team, led by scientist and Professor Christopher Conselice, "painstakingly" analyzed images from the the telescope and found that about 90 percent of the galaxies in the universe are too far to be fully captured by the telescope. Since the galaxies are not consistently spread throughout the universe, there could be a whole lot more out there that definitely exists that we can't yet see nor count.
In the press statement, Conselice said, "It boggles the mind that over 90 percent of the galaxies in the Universe have yet to be studied. Who knows what interesting properties we will find when we observe these galaxies with the next generation of telescopes."
While it is daunting to think about the vastness of our universe, it's thrilling to see scientists make these strides to improve our collective grasp on what exactly is happening outside of our little blue planet.

The Latest Rumor About the MacBook Keyboard Isn't True but We Can Still Dream
A new rumor that suggested an E Ink keyboard was coming to the MacBook in a few years is most likely not true. Though we can keep dreaming of a day a keyboard this cool will exist on our computers, the company behind the product dispelled the rumors.
The rumor began when The Guardian reported that Apple was considering buying the startup Sonder, which designed and created a keyboard that's customizable and uses E Ink (the same technology you see in Kindles). Many outlets reported the news and even confirmed with Sonder to verify the news. However, someone from the company wrote in a Reddit post on Oct. 13 that they never met with Tim Cook or were involved in any talks to be acquired.
While we're a bit bummed that this technology might not be coming to the MacBook, it's worth checking out to see what the hype was all about. You can see the keyboard in action below.
However, the new MacBook Pros are expected to arrive later this month and might come with a cool OLED touchscreen display keyboard. And who knows, we could see this E Ink keyboard on the MacBook someday.

Giada De Laurentiis Reveals the 1 Surprising Ingredient She Adds to Pasta
Source: Getty / Neilson Barnard
Celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis is known for celebrating her Italian heritage through her cooking. So naturally, she was the perfect woman to host the New York Wine and Food Festival's Italian Table event in New York City. I caught up with her inside the Giada Vegas booth to chat about pasta, the importance of learning how to cook "lemon spaghetti" (which somehow sounds so much more enticing when she says it with her Italian accent), and the basic supplies to keep stocked for quality Italian fare. Giada's booth was swarmed with crowds all night long, where she was busy personally handing out her delicious muffuletta sandwich to throngs of devoted fans. Seriously, I'll be thinking about that sandwich for at least the rest of the week.

On the 5 Staples She Thinks Everybody Should Keep Stocked in Their Pantry
"Pasta, jarred tomato sauce, whatever kind you like. I like Rao's or Mutti, but Mutti is harder to find. Garlic, olive oil, and red pepper flakes."
On Her Favorite Go-To Breakfast on Busy Days
"I do brown rice, with olive oil and salt. I like a carb for breakfast, and I like a savory breakfast. If you start your day with sugar, you're jacked for the rest of the day. I get up really early in the morning, so I need a carbohydrate. So I'll do 1/4 cup of brown rice, with warm olive oil and salt. At my restaurant I do oatmeal, olive oil, salt, and marcona almonds for protein."

Kate Middleton Joins Prince William in Manchester After Her First-Ever Solo Tour
It's been a busy month for Kate Middleton! After returning from her first-ever solo tour in the Netherlands on Tuesday, she joined Prince William for a visit to Manchester, England on Friday morning. The royal pair were all smiles as they greeted people outside of the National Football Museum, where some members of the crowd were wearing hilariously frightening paper masks of the Duke and Duchess, Queen Elizabeth, and Camilla Parker Bowles. While inside the museum, William showed off his soccer skills in a simulator, which he no doubt aced thanks to all the times he's played with brother Prince Harry.
Later on, Kate and William made their way to the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester, where Kate laughed and looked on in her checked Erdem coat as her husband squeezed into a BAC "Mono" Car. Maybe his grandmother can learn to drive that next? In addition to Kate's tour of the Netherlands, the trip to Manchester comes hot on the heels of William and Kate's recent trip to Canada with their adorable children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. 2016 is only a few months away from coming to a close, but hopefully the royal family has plenty more fun events in store.

Everything about the new Apple Watch will of course come with watchOS 3. Plenty of new features will be available, like new watch faces, a Breathe app to help you take a moment to yourself, and an SOS app to make sure you can make an emergency call in seconds. If you're also someone who still plays Pokémon Go, the app is coming to the Apple Watch.
If all of these details have convinced you to get the latest one, you might want to check out the new styles available in the Apple Watch Hermès models. You can now get a Double Buckle Cuff in Swift and Epsom calfskin leathers or a Single Tour Deployment Buckle band.

Preorders begin Sept. 9 and will arrive in stores on Sept. 16 - except for the Nike+ Apple Watch, which is out on Oct. 28. Check out photos of the new watchOS 3 in action ahead.

Do These 6 Things on Sunday to Lose Weight All Week Long
You know you should be eating right and exercising all week to reach your weight-loss goals, but when you're so rushed between work and family responsibilities, it's tough to have time to make it happen. A little planning goes a long way, so here are some things you can do on Sunday to ensure you stay on a healthy path all week long.
Plan Your Workouts
Don't just think to yourself that you'll squeeze in a run here and a trip to the gym there - plan it out. Sit down with your weekly calendar and jot down every workout just as you would doctor's appointments and meetings. Use this time to call your fitness buddy or trainer to make dates, check out studio schedules to find classes you want to take, and check the week's weather to figure out which days will be best for outdoor workouts.
Hit the Hamper
Nothing puts a damper on a workout more than not being able to find a clean sports bra, so do a couple loads before Monday, making sure you have everything you need, from your running tights to yoga tops to the towel you use to wipe sweat from your brow. Lay out your outfits for each day's workout so you're not running around the house Tuesday morning trying to find your missing sock.
Gather Your Gear
Collect whatever you need to work out - a yoga mat, sneakers, or earbuds - and make sure everything is set so you can easily grab the items throughout the week. Pack your gym bag, and put it by the door or in your car so you won't forget it when you leave for the day. If you exercise at home, put your favorite fitness video in the DVD player and lay out your dumbbells and resistance band. Sunday is also a great time to make a couple new playlists to inspire your kick-ass workouts (if you don't have time, subscribe to our workout playlists on Spotify).

Plan Your Meals and Snacks
Sit down and write out a weekly eating plan including all meals and snacks for the week. If you need a little inspiration, check out these healthy recipes. After making out a grocery list to include everything you'll need to whip them up, hit the health food store and stock up for the week. Since produce is best enjoyed within a few days of purchasing, note what fruits and veggies you'll want to pick up halfway through the week.
Make things even easier by prepping in advance: wash, cut, and store veggies to be used in dinner recipes, cut up fruit for smoothies or snacks, and cook up some whole grains and store them in the fridge. Cook some of these make-ahead breakfasts in advance, like a week of overnight oats, or turn on the crockpot to make something you can eat a few nights that week, like these under-400-calorie meals.
Pack It Up
If you'll be away from home during the day, cut down on the temptation to go out to lunch or grab a cookie by packing lunches and snacks from home. Making five salads for the week is easy and healthy, or you can whip up a big pot of soup and freeze small portions in glass containers to grab for lunch. Also set aside 10 snacks for the week (two per day), such as Greek yogurt, cheese sticks, and containers of carrots and hummus, or measure out 100-calorie portions of trail mix, whole-grain crackers, or cereal. It'll probably take about an hour to get it all ready, but it'll end up saving you time during the rest of the week.
Hit the Hay
Once everything is all set, take a nice hot bath, slip on your PJs, and hop into bed early. Unwind with an evening yoga sequence or a calming book, and you're more likely to have a good night's sleep and wake up refreshed for the week ahead.
Atlantic-Pacific's Blair Eadie Reveals 1 Big Misconception About Fashion Bloggers
If you've ever gotten lost on blogger Blair Eadie's Instagram feed, scrolling through feminine outfits and wishing you owned them all, you're not alone. After years of posting to Atlantic-Pacific, she's developed a signature style that's a mix of sweet, classic, and modern, and we've imagined her closet - full of A-line skirts and sunglasses galore - as something pretty and polished, just like her.
So when we had the chance to chat with Blair about her partnership with Barbour - an opportunity, she admits, she was "flattered" by, since she admires the outerwear and accessories brand so much - we had to ask her: did she have any organizing tips or tricks to share? Her answer, ahead, was the last thing we expected, as she revealed a tidy home is probably a big misconception when it comes to fashion influencers. Read on for a description of what her space actually looks like, and be prepared to laugh a little and relate.

How Your Favorite Chefs Make Flan
When it comes to desserts, flan, like cake, is one that deserves a category all on its own. Although often labor-intensive, it's a treat that many agree is truly worth the wait. A rich and filling take on custard, the jiggly sweet is a staple across Latin America, prompting many chefs to put their own spin on the classic to make a recipe truly their own. Here are five ways your favorite Latino kitchen whizzes are whipping up delicious flan.
Roberto Santibañez: Simple and Straightforward
Robert Santibañez knows that sometimes it's best to keep a simple take when putting a spin on a classic dessert. His flan recipe is still a comforting eggy-based one with a smooth caramel topping and a light touch of cinnamon and citrus. In addition to the usual suspects of cream, sugar, and eggs, Santibañez's recipe includes lime juice, lime and orange zest, and Mexican cinnamon for an added kick.
Jose Garces: With Vanilla and Orange
Jose Garces's thick and creamy vanilla orange flan is a longtime family recipe, with unique ingredients to boot. Featuring melon, basil, olive oil, and salt, this one is sure to be a crowd-pleaser if served alongside fruit or a salad.
Chef Pépin: With Kahlúa and Coffee
Chef Pépin's Kahlúa and coffee flan is sure to be favored by java addicts. Made with the famed liqueur, decaf coffee, and espresso, this one-of-a-kind recipe will leave you happily buzzed.
Marcela Valladolid: Chocolate-Based
Marcela Valladolid's chocoflan recipe is sure to procure some newfound flan-lovers who are normally chocolate loyalists. This flan and cocoa hybrid involves mixing and baking two separate batters that are later married into one fabulous dessert garnished with cajeta (a thick caramel sauce) and pecans.
Ingrid Hoffman: Cheesecake-Inspired
Ingrid Hoffman's cheesecake flan is definitely for those who love a rich and creamy dessert. Similar to traditional cheesecake, this recipe can be stored and refrigerated for up to three days before serving at the perfect consistency. It is also best prepared in individual ramekins.
