If I am doing that, I'm not aware of it.
Something that has come to my mind of late that I'm curious to know if anyone else is doing this.
When you create your original map do you mirror the point of view of your real world location?
So if in Europe, the sea would be on the left, with general various shapes of countries and a little island of the land mass similar to the UK . Or on East coast of the US , sea is on the right and a much larger landmass with similar distances between stuff and geographical features like Applicacian mountains in a relative position. Or take on similar features like if in Australia, your map is a large single mass. Also that continents end up occupying the same general areas as on earth? the same applies for bays and coast lines, lakes and any other details?
Fractal mapping and generators can get around this problem, but sometimes I feel I don't like the results, but it's probably because I can't relate to it. Some of it can be intentional of course, I want to kick this subconscious habit, but wondered if anyone else suffers from it or even aware if they are doing it?

Many undercurrents of European legend are based on notions of a "frigid north", "southern wasteland", "unsailable western sea" and "inscrutable east, land of strange people". Combine that with a "center-of-the-world sea" and you've hit what most folks steeped in European culture (including US and other colonies) will draw when asked for a fantasy place. The works of Tolkien and other European pseudo-histories and I would hazard a guess that it's what most folks will reach for their first time out on the mapping trail. It's well-grounded in popular culture and is pretty much expected by many folks.
I would suspect that many folks in the world (and definitely the US) are so geo-illiterate that they probably don't have any concept of which side of the ocean is near them. For them, the world is influenced by whatever teen-romance/vampire story is current. Or maybe that last little bit was influenced by my wife making me stand in line at midnight to buy some silly book.
Yeah the Tolkien map and Europe could come under my thread. I have seen Europe overlaid on top, (but the world Map in Tolkien Bestiary looks more like a mirror of 2 continents - though I don't know if that was done by Tolkien)
I do try and steer away from Middle-Earth type of world. Actually looking at some of the other information on this forum that is helping with that.
I live in the UK, so I as I create my 'ultimate' world (coz I'm actually trying to write fantasy novels and develop a world for them) I fall into a trap of what I mentioned above. On the other hand, if you want to get the reader to have a sense of security, then putting the hero's home town in a familiar setting can be a good device
As far as most people go, I would guess that most people do in fact tap the subconscious in mapping....and every one of them will deny it as well. I consciously make my maps similar to North America cuz it's what I'm familiar with and what I know best. My continents almost always have 2 mountain ranges and a large central river emptying into a gulf with islands and swamps in the southeast and deserts in the southwest. However, I do not see anything wrong with that...our fantasies are shaped by the world around us. The most tangible world around me is the USA...if I remember from my anthropology classes it's called ethocentricty...so that's where my fantasies originate from. And yes, I was raised on a farm so that's another cliche, I know, so if I were to write stories they'd be a rehash of Eddings. To break that subconscious hold the CWBP is of enormous help since it forces us to break free of our preconceptions and really be creative. I wrote my grad school thesis on creativity so I will forego going into the whole thing any further or else bore you all to death but suffice it to say that the phenomenon happens and it's okay. Take the random generators, we will toss out the things that "don't look right" in favor of something we're more familiar with. We all do it and that's actually a good thing for those who wish to pursue a writing career because you have to keep in mind the target audience...you can't take them too far away from the norm. OK, I'll stop now or I might ramble on forever.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

I think that I generate terrain that I am familiar with but its both great and a bit racy to try something else. I reckon that the majority of fantasy had a dollop of DnD backing it and that was definitely steeped in Tolkien which was based around Oxford (Middle England !). All the halflings, elves, and orcs came right out of that and you even get the feeling it was more 'Hobbit' than 'LotR'. I like to stay with that familiarity tho I did run a campaign once which was set in a jungle. I tried to run Deserts of Desolation module pack but I found it hard to expand on the terrain beyond what was written in it as I could think of nothing more to say about it. When playing its probably no less fun to go anywhere but to DM or write / map for I would say there is a certain comfort about going local.

Interesting responses.
I'm not too bothered that I could be creating something familiar, as that is part of the goal. I guess I just want to be able to disguise it cunningly.
My work ethos (concept art, illustration and making games) is to strive to create something new, different that enhances consumer culture than be a pale imitation of what's out there already which is all too easy to do if I'm not aware I'm doing it. We don't create in a vacuum and there's influences all around us. I like to try and create something new, like it's there, waiting to be discovered, I just need to work it through.
It's a fine line for me. To create something 'original' (if that's possible in today's media ) while keeping a level of familiarity so the reader/viewer can relate and be immersed. I wouldn't want to classed as a 'poor man's <insert highly acclaimed creative here> ' because my ambition is to create my own standing.
It is good to read you views. thanks for your input!
So far all of my published fantasy-work has been either (A) entirely divorced from geographical realism (like Uresia - a circular archipelago designed to resemble a massive watery crater) or (B) fantasy set in an earthly location, so each (in their own way) sidesteps the question ...
The only other fantasy world I run with is the one I created as a teenager, and in those days my knowledge of earthly geography and fantasy geography were both too limited to have much to subconsciously draw on ... I'd never yet attempted to read Lord of the Rings, for example (I've since attempted it), and my favorite fantasy novel then (Ende's "Neverending Story") was mapless and overtly whimsical in layout, so whatever I was drawing on, it didn't resemble anywhere I lived (at the time, North Carolina, within hiking distance of the Outer Banks, which would have been a cool thing to mirror had it occurred to me). (My favorite fantasy novel these days is Hughart's "Bridge of Birds," which takes place in a fanciful rehash of T'ang China, so, again ...)
Anyway, wherever fantasy maps come from, I don't think there's any wrong way to go about them (at least generally - there could be a wrong way if you set specific rules for yourself and then fail to live up to them, I guess). Familiarity is good; bizarre is good; everything between is good
Originality is always possible and always will be; it's just the natural consequence of honest personal investment in the work. You are unique, so it's just a matter of translating the perspectives that belong to you into the work that will then also belong to you.To create something 'original' (if that's possible in today's media ) while keeping a level of familiarity so the reader/viewer can relate and be immersed.
Originality most often emerges in the details and tones, though -- don't stress too much about it being evident at first-glance on the map
hehe....You want to talk subconcious mapping Look at the map below for my old campaign world superimposed over North America

Any questions on CC3? Post them with CC3 in the Subject Line!
MY 'FAMOUS' CC3 MAPS: Thunderspire; Pyramid of Shadows; King of the Trollhaunt Warrens; Demon Queen's Enclave
Ghalev: Yep you're speaking my language with originality. At the end of the day anything creative is a self expression of the individual, even as part of a group effort. Some of it may be geared towards particular audiences, but I'm not getting too hung up on it, at this stage it's mostly for me.
For fantasy stories I read, I don't put too high investment in the map. It's a great thing to have to help get involved, geographical bearings on the adventure, but the story is the main thing, and there are common things in all stories which are familiar. I do love creating a wealth of back story, map, bestiary, cultures etc - it's all fun to do and give authenticity. I would want my readers (hopefully there will some if I get published) to be transported to another place the way Tolkien did (but steering away from his work)
With my writing, that is dictating some of what my map is going to turn out anyway - If I want them to live in a certain climate, if their adventures lead them across a sea etc, then the map will shape that way. This is the bit that I'm referring in this thread, because I'm trying to create familiarity and so using similar locations on the planet earth to get similar environmental conditions in the story. It also works the other way around - create a map and then get story ideas from it. I will probably be doing a mixture of both methods and also leaving parts of the world unmapped (or perhaps putting in a placeholder) so I don't lock myself down and it can develop as my ideas and stories do - so it can serve the stories, than the stories be a slave to the map as characters explore the regions.
One of the things I'm going to look into is creating a world from birth (of sorts). I was reading dhalsimrocks' thread on using tectonic plates to draw a world map and do that and see how it shapes my world.
Neon Knight: Yep, that west coast shows it most, and the general size of the area. But as others have said above, it's a good thing.
thanks for posting!

As you are aware, last week the site was kind of shut down because of the iframe virus that somehow got onto the site. It looks like the actual website has been infected with some sort of virus/script so there are potentially going to be some issues over the next few days. No idea what they scripts can do, but they appear to be able to access the admin panel, so I'll have to get them removed asap.
Apologies for any downtime, but I thought you should all be aware.

How to do well in this course:
There are phases in this course which parallel the forthcoming ISTE technology toolkit. The idea goes like this.
Phase I. Individual
lessons or learning are acquired and provide a
person with competency and skills. This is done on a weekly basis.
Often this might be skill-based or content-based. In some classes you
may be exposed to prescriptive planning. Some teachers call this
preparing "lesson plans". So this is what teaching is all about? NO,
not necessarily. The greatest skill of content and the greatest ability
to prepare lesson plans can not guarantee excellent learning.
III. There is no final examination. This is a project based class.
An A test, paper or project: [Full points or deduct up to 6%]o
Demonstrates a level of excellence and depth of thought
as it meets the expectations of the assignment.
o Shows original thought and/or innovative design.
o Demonstrates exemplary knowledge and techniques
o Is well organized.
o Demonstrates higher level thinking (according to BloomÌs Taxonomy).
o Has almost no problems with mechanics A B test, paper or project: [deduct up to 12%%]o Meets basic expectations of the assignment.
o Shows technical proficiency.
o Demonstrates sound knowledge and techniques
o Is well organized.
o Has few problems with mechanics. A C test, paper or project: [deduct up to 24%]o Meets the minimum expectations of the assignment.
o Has more than a few problems with mechanics, or organization issues.
o Demonstrates incomplete knowledge and techniques
An F test, paper or project: [deduct 25% or beyond]o Does not meet the minimum expectations of the assignment.
Anti Plagiarism:
In our web-based
culture individuals have easy and rapid access to the artistic and
intellectual property of others. Academic leaders have added
responsibilities in this culture to inform, protect, and defend
artistic and intellectual property and to prepare educators to do
likewise. Part of that responsibility is to use citations properly and
respect copyrights. Educators may encounter students and workers who
plagiarize or fail to cite the works of others properly. This course
will use anti-plagiarism applications or web-site resources to assist
future academic leaders in the development of professional
understanding of their role as a force to counter plagiarism and the
improper use of the intellectual or artistic work of others.Statement of
is a
fragile construct that is not easily defined. Each of us must cherish
and preserve reasonable rules or policies respecting the individual
rights of all teachers and learners. We will strive to
create an environment where all individuals participate and succeed.
This compels us to foster the best possible environment for doing our
work as educators and learners within the educational arena. Therefore
we commit to building a climate of civility and mutual respect
regardless of race, gender, age, or status. We encourage everyone to
speak, participate in the learning process, and act judiciously and
with respect for each other's ideas and opinions. We condemn messages
that promote divisiveness in our academic community, as being
antithetical and contrary to our shared responsibility for each other's
welfare. We
know that
traditions based on fear and intimidation flourish when unopposed
statements of racial divisiveness and diatribe are permitted. We must
maintain a climate of trust and respect. Likewise we must not permit
discrimination or harassment because it poisons the community of
learning. Portfolio
requiring this course also require that a portfolio be maintained
relative to his or her program. Within this portfolio should be at
least one deliverable or artifact from this course. All deliverable/s
or artifact/s contained in one's portfolio must also include a
reflection statement. Reflection statements should include 1)
anticipated learning (prior to the creation of the one's deliverable or
artifact), 2) statements of major knowledge or skill acquisition, 3)
comments on what one could do differently if undertaking this project
again (lessons learned), and 4) a generalized statement of educational
purposefulness (where can this fit into one's teaching). A portfolio is
not part of this course but it is part of the program.

New research reveals that children are often wrongly diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder for simply acting their age.
Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are usually diagnosed when they start school, often in the early grades of elementary school, 10TV's Tracy Townsend reported on Thursday.
In a "Journal of Health Economics" study, researchers found that those diagnoses are often wrong, because children in the same grade can be a year a part in age, so younger ones can act out more relative to their older peers.
"We don't know how prevalent misdiagnosis is; it probably occurs in some percentage, I'm sure," said Nationwide Children's Hospital Dr. Daniel Coury.
Coury is an expert on ADHD and said it is preferable to avoid diagnosing before school age, because there is a very wide range of normal behaviors in children.
"They may not be showing ADHD symptoms, but be immature, much like if they put a second grader with fifth graders, they would really stand out as not being able to sit still and do the work," Coury said.
The common signs of hyperactive and impulsive behavior in children include acting without
thinking; children always on the go; and those that have a difficult time settling down.
Parents should also take note if they hear about these behaviors from teachers.
Teachers have the advantage of seeing large groups of children going through nine months of growth and development and they can identify those children who are standing out.

PHILADELPHIA -- The University of Pennsylvania community can participate in the Sept. 15 observance of National Constitution Day through selected video and online events.
MAGPI, Penn's Internet2 hub, together with the National Constitution Center, will facilitate the videoconference, "America Reads the Constitution," from 1 to 2:35 p.m., Friday, Sept. 15, followed by a 25-minute "open mic" session. Students from Philadelphia's Constitution High School will read selected portions of the Constitution onsite from MAGPI's videoconferencing facilities at 3401 Walnut St., Philadelphia, joined via Internet2 by students from 42 other schools across the country. This event will be live-streamed on the Internet and can be found at www.magpi.net/programs/constitutionday.html#webstream.
Penn's Annenberg Public Policy Center, through its Justice Learning Constitution Day program, has made available a variety of resources to help schools commemorate the day. The most recent is "A Conversation on the Constitution: Judicial Independence," in which current and former Supreme Court justices Stephen Breyer, Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day O'Connor join high school students from California and Pennsylvania to discuss the independent judiciary. Taped in May, Breyer, Kennedy and O'Connor take questions from the students and discuss the ways that the Constitution safeguards the role of judges so they in turn can safeguard the rights of minorities and those with unpopular viewpoints.
The Penn Video Network will air this video at 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15, and from noon to 6 p.m. on both Sunday and Monday, Sept. 17-18, on the network's special events Channel 24. The video and other constitution day media materials can be found on http://www.annenbergclassroom.org/.

Happy Harry Potter week, everyone! Since the premiere of the last movie (*tear*) is this Friday, I thought I'd make something special to commemorate the occasion. Since my butterbeer cupcakes were such a hit and I still get comments/emails/tweets daily telling me how much you all enjoyed the recipe, I wanted to revisit the recipe and remix it a little.
I have my tickets for the midnight premiere and I fully expect that you all do too, and I hope you'll bring some of these super-cute Golden Snitch Butterbeer Cake Pops with you to share with your friends while you wait! What's a better iconic Harry Potter shape for cake pops than the Golden Snitch? And it perfectly suits the gold-colored butterbeer cake and butterscotch taste.
These are a bit more labor-intensive than the cupcakes, but if you're looking for something fun and super-portable to make and take with you to the premiere, you should definitely give it a try. Everyone at the theater will be jealous.
These cake pops are made with the very same butterbeer cake recipe from the butterbeer cupcakes—except instead of cupcakes, you'll be baking it in a 13×9" pan. Then, crumble it up, mix it with the frosting, and form the mixture into little Snitch-size balls. Stick a lollipop stick in 'em, dunk 'em in yellow candy coating, and apply a coat of gold dust. And of course, you can't forget the wings—I simply cut them out of gum paste using a cardstock template and an X-Acto knife. It's a bit of work, but totally worth it when you bite into the payoff. Let's make them!
The first thing you'll want to do is make your wings. Gum paste is a sugar mixture used a lot in cake decorating. It's pliable like fondant but dries hard, and it does need time to set up properly to be sturdy enough to stick into the pops. Grab a hunk of gum paste and roll out on wax paper or parchment (or something else it won't stick to) using a rolling pin.
You can use a bit of canola oil to make it stay moist and easier to work with a bit longer. Just a dab will do.
Roll it out until it's about 1/8" thick – thick enough to not break when it dries, but thin enough to look like wings.
Cut yourself a little template out of card stock or poster board. Think about the size you want to make your Snitches and design the wings accordingly. You can make them look however you like – I chose to go with my imagining of the Snitch rather than the movie's version, which has very delicate golden wings (although I tried those too—I just thought the white looked better).
Trace around your template with an X-Acto knife as many times as you can fit. Repeat as many times as necessary to get the amount of wings you need. You'll probably need to use the whole package of gum paste if you're making a full batch of cake pops. Set them on a curved surface to dry so they have a little curve to them. I used my rolling pin, but a bottle or can or anything else with a smooth, round surface will do.
Now you'll need to bake the cake. Simply follow the instructions here for the butterbeer cake, but bake it in a 13×9" pan for 23 to 25 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
Also follow the instructions for the frosting.
When the cake is cool, crumble it up in a large mixing bowl and try to resist eating it by the handful.
Now take your frosting and add it in. Add it in batches until you get a nice, formable consistency – if you add too much, the mixture will just be mushy and fall apart. Use your hands to mix so you can feel the consistency. I used my full batch of frosting but you may not need that much for yours.
After you've mixed the cake and frosting together, the mixture should be able to hold its shape when you form it into a ball. Start forming the cake mixture into little Snitch balls with your hands.
Place the cake balls in the freezer to firm up for a few minutes while you melt your candy melts.
You can just dump these in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave them in 30-second spurts until they're melted.
You'll need to keep stirring occasionally after you take them out of the microwave so they don't set, and you may need to stick the bowl back in the microwave for a few seconds after a while or the candy will get very thick and heavy and won't stick to the pops.
Now, take your cake balls out of the freezer. Take a lollipop stick and make a hole in the bottom of each ball. Then, dip the tip of the stick into the candy and secure it in the cake ball.
This will help keep the sticks secure inside the pops. Stick the pops back in the freezer to let the candy set up.
Once the candy has fully hardened (this should only take 5 to 10 minutes), take the pops out of the freezer and start dunking them in the candy coating, like so:
Very gently, dunk the cake ball in the candy. Use a spoon or another lollipop stick to help cover the whole ball with candy. Swirl it ever so slightly as you pull it out of its candy bath to make it as smooth as possible.
Stick the pops in a chunk of Styrofoam to keep them upright as the candy sets and hardens.
Once the candy hardens completely, brush the pops with edible gold pearl dust.
Use a (clean) craft brush or pastry brush, and use as much as you want! A little goes a long way, though.
To attach the wings, cut little slits on the sides of the pops to fit the wings. You can use your X-Acto or a toothpick, but either way, make sure to be very gentle.
You can dunk the tips of the wings in candy if you're worried about them sticking, but the stickiness of the frosting in the cake balls should be enough to secure them. Push the wings in until they feel secure.
And then you're done! Just repeat with all of the pops until they're all Snitches. Time intensive? Yes. Worth it? You decide. (I think so.)
So if you've tried the butterbeer cupcakes, I'm sure you know how dang sweet they are. These are even sweeter. Super delicious and super, super sweet. You're essentially adding candy coating to a cupcake and frosting. These things are crazy!
But that just means that they're perfect to share with a crowd on a special occasion.
Go catch some Snitches! I hope you enjoy these adorable and delicious cake pops!
And finally, a huge thank you to everyone that's commented and spread the original cupcake recipe around the web. I couldn't have imagined the attention it's gotten (and continues to get). I love that there are so many other Harry Potter fans out there that are also foodies—people after my own heart. Thanks for sharing the love.
Golden Snitch Butterbeer Cake Pops
Makes approximately 48 cake pops
1 batch of butterbeer cake
1 batch of butterbeer frosting
2 bags of yellow candy melts*
1 container of edible gold pearl dust*
1 lb. gum paste*
Lollipop sticks*
*Available at craft stores or cooking supply stores
For wings:
- Roll out gum paste in batches on wax or parchment paper until approximately 1/8" thick, using vegetable oil as needed to keep moist and pliable.
- Cut out wings in desired shape (use a card stock template if desired to keep consistent shape and size) using an X-Acto knife.
- Place wing shapes on a curved surface (such as a rolling pin) to dry for several hours or until sturdy.
- Repeat until all gum paste is used or until desired number of wings have been created. Brush with gold dust if desired.
For cake balls:
- Bake original butterbeer cake recipe in a 13×9" pan for 23 – 25 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Let cool.
- Make butterbeer frosting according to original recipe.
- Crumble cake in a large mixing bowl and combine with frosting until firm, moldable consistency is reached.
- Mold cake mixture into balls of desired size using your hands.
- Place balls in freezer.
- Melt candy melts in microwave according to package instructions.
- Remove balls from freezer. Press lollipop sticks into each ball to make a hole. Then, dip tips of sticks into candy and press back into the holes to secure. Place pops (ball side on a plate or sheet tray, sticks up) back in freezer until candy sets, 5 to 10 minutes.
- When candy is set, remove pops from freezer and dip in candy mixture until all cake balls are coated in candy. Use a spoon, lollipop stick, or toothpick to help distribute candy if needed. Stick cake pop sticks into a Styrofoam block to keep upright as candy sets.
- When the candy is set, use a small craft brush to apply gold dust liberally to the surface.
- To attach wings, use an X-Acto knife or toothpick to create wing slots in the side of each cake ball. Stick wings in slots, using melted candy as needed to help secure. Repeat until all cake pops are created. Enjoy!

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Need Someone to Make Blender File Usable with 3D Printer http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=59522&th=12230#msg_59522 <![CDATA[We have models of our products in Blender that are very very VERY detailed. We need someone with both 3D printing and Blender experience to simplify our models so they would work well with a 3D printer. As they stand now, our models are way too complex for this purpose. And we have no experience working with 3D printers and their limitations. Anyone who is interested must be able to submit invoices for payment via PayPal and must have samples of previous work that we can reference.

But we are also interested in larger sizes to for more technical and engineering prototype uses.

Earlier this year, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement shocked the world by asserting the right to seize any .com or .net domain that it characterized as a "pirate" or child porn site, with little due process or judicial oversight. ICE conducted a series of high-profile seizures that were notable in that they were sloppy (80,000 sites were erroneously seized for being implicated in child porn and anyone who subsequently visited them was redirected to a page chiding them for being horrible perverts).
They were also notable for being almost completely ineffective at shutting down the targetted sites. Once their domains were seized, the site operators simply registered new domains, avoiding .com and .net. It wasn't much of a challenge for their users to locate them again. Nevertheless, the ICE has promised more seizures in the years to come.
But one developer decided that subverting ICE censorship was too important to be left to chance, so he created MAFIAA Fire, a Firefox plugin that automatically redirects links to the seized domains to their new homes, effectively undoing the seizures.
"This is just a start, now that we have opened this can of worms people can expect many add-ons, extensions and plug-ins from us," TorrentFreak was told. "Our goal is to reverse governments attempts to censor the Internet, and nearly anything the anti-piracy people put up to protect their dinosaur business models."Imagine the old game of whack-a-mole, now imagine playing on multiple machines all around you at the same time."
"We really are tired of the corruption at the highest levels of government by these people. Enough is enough. There is a time to moan and there is a time to take action – and taking action has been long overdue," the MAFIAA Fire developer said.

Old Forge striking teachers walk picket line
The teaching staff of the Old Forge school district left their classrooms behind this morning to go on strike.
Sixty-nine teachers are marching in front of Old Forge High School, carrying signs with the words "Old Forge Education Association On Strike."
"We'll be here until the state says we have to go back," said Patrick Mclane, president of the Old Forge Education Association.
The strike began at 8 a.m. Teachers will picket until 3 p.m. today, and will return tomorrow to continue the strike.
Parents were advised not to bring their children to district schools.
Union representatives gave the district their intent to strike last week, citing contractual disagreements regarding salary and healthcare.
The district attempted to avert the strike through emergency negotiations during the week, but did not reach an agreement with the union.
Attorney John Audi, chief negotiator for the district, said negotiations continue to fail due to health care cost issues.
"We've done everything at the table we can do," Mr. Audi said. "We don't see them bargaining in good faith in any way."
Shawn Nee, Vice President of the Old Forge Education Association said the district has not made a further attempt at negotiation.
"When your hand is forced, this is where you end up," Mr. Nee said from the picket line.
District Superintendent Al Semenza meanhile said both the district and the teachers have the needs of the students at heart. He is optimistic an agreement can be reached.
"Both sides have a common goal," Mr. Semenza said. "We want to get the students back to class."

Cinephiles are earning their airmiles over the next couple of weeks as Venice, Telluride and TIFF explode with literally hundreds of films, all looking for attention, distribution and/or awards season consideration. But among the mix of high profile titles are some down 'n dirty genre flicks too. Either way, we've got a batch of new images for your eyeballs from a number of movies traveling the globe so let's get to it.
First up, Atom Egoyan ("The Sweet Hereafter," "Exotica") tackles the West Memphis Three with his new drama "Devil's Knot." Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth lead the cast, with the latter playing a private detective investigating the case. Amy Ryan, Dane DeHaan, Stephen Moyer, and Mireille Enos co-star in this one which unspools in Toronto. [EW]
As you probably know by now, we'll watching anything with Rebecca Hall, which means we'll be tracking it down. Directed by Patrice Leconte ("My Best Friend," "Man On A Train") the film follows a married woman who falls in love with her husband's teacher. Uh oh. Alan Rickman and Richard Madden co-star, and you can see them below. This hits Venice and TIFF.
Eco-terrorism. Kelly Reichardt. New movie. Jesse Eisenberg. Dakota Fanning. Peter Sarsgaard. There, those are all the reasons we're really looking forward to this one, which hits Venice and TIFF.

Well, the back window has ripped from its seams in my miata, so it's time for a new top. After everything is said and done, a new top will run me about $800 after labor to get it all on, and then it'll just have the problem again down the road. So, I'm looking for a hard top.... people want way too much for them, too, but I bet I can get one for $800 or less.
Do you know what this is? This is me waving bye-bye to all my money... ****ing car.

Great surgeon, knows his stuff, always late-often very.
This physician (I'm not sure you can even call him that) has absolutely zero bedside manner, no appreciation for one's pain, and does not have the kind of intelligence and knowledge he has for the position he is in. Not only did he string me along with no diagnosis for months and months, all the while telling me that the pain I was feeling was not possible, but then I went to another physician who needed to do immediate surgery because Dr. Goldrich did not realize an infection was causing my ear bones to disintegrate. This was the worst kind of experience you could have with a doctor. And by the way, no follow up call from him, checking in, either. Unbelievable.
Extremely disappointed in this doctor. Failed to do a number of things and showed little emotional connection, humanity, concern or interest other than merely a cold, inhumane clinical personality and disposition. Failed to do sufficient research on issues with which he was unfamiliar, failed to follow up, showed little empathy for continued pain and indeed, blamed me as the patient for being "sensitive" to pain instead of searching for a medical solution or some method to alleviate the pain, failed to show any interest in following up on my condition, etc. Extremely disappointing and medically scary person to be around.
Dr. Goldrich spends all the time I need with him during office visits and on the phone. I have been seeing him for 16 years and this has been consistent, with no exceptions. He always takes the time to explain everything to me and is very patient. He is a caring doctor who listens and expresses sympathy for the challenges I experience with my condition. There is frequently a long wait for him, but that's because he gives each patient the time they need. I have seen him for my voice disorder at least 50 times over the years and have never once experienced a negative reaction or emotion from him, no matter how busy, tired or challenging his office or day has been.
I had the best experience in this office. I was seen quickly and Dr. Goldrich spent the extra time I needed explaining my condition to me. He was kind and courteous and his staff were very accomodating in getting me a same day appointment. I would recommend him to all of my friends with an ENT problem.
I saw Dr. Goldrich as a 30 year old woman presenting with severe pain in ear and head with leaking ear. I had already been through numerous rounds of antibiotics via my PCP and was referred to him as a last resort for figuring out my pain. He tried several rounds of antibiotics too, before telling me that I needed ear tube surgery. As an educated woman with a mother who is a doctor, we were confused about his recommendation of ear tube surgery, as other doctors were telling me that one usually doesn't come across this issue unless there was a history of ear infections, particularly child ear infections. I never had ear infections, and ear tube surgery is something that is done very infrequently on adults. Dr. Goldrich was adamant that this was my only option. When I discussed with him that I had been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that had destroyed hormones in my pituitary gland just a year earlier, and shared that I was worried that this was another bout of my disease, he said "no, you need ear tube surgery.". When I asked him several times if he thought I needed an xray or MRI before the surgery to make sure of his diagnosis, he said I did not. He performed surgery with anesthesia and I was left with an ear that did not stop leaking for weeks and weeks, even though it was supposed to have stopped leaking quickly. The pain grew worse and worse, and Dr. Goldrich did not believe me, and refused to prescribe any medication to help with the pain. I honestly think he believed I was a drug addict even though I had never taken pain medication or any drugs in my entire life. I asked to have an xray done and he said it wasn't necessary. Waited another few weeks. After months of awful pain, I demanded an xray. It turned out that I had a rare form of cancer that had eaten away a huge part of my ear and skull. Dr. Goldrich looked embarrassed as he read through the results. Of course he didn't apologize because that would have opened himself up for malpractice. He simply said that he needed to refer me to a surgeon immediately so that I could have surgery done to figure out the type of cancer, and to repair my ear. I was devastated. I was supposed to start graduate school days later. The only nice thing I can say about this man is that he ended up referring me to the most amazing and skilled ENT at Cornell Medical Center, and that doctor ended up saving my life. I was going through cancer treatments and dealing with so many things that I did not even think about suing Dr. Goldrich until it was too late and the timeframe made it impossible to sue. I always believed there were too many lawsuits in the world. But some doctors deserve to be sued. They should not be practicing because their extremely careless mistakes and void of empathy are costing people their lives. I was lucky that I found out in time, but there are other people who may not be as fortunate. If I could, I would give this doctor ZERO stars.
I was quickly attended by reception staff who were courteous and friendly. I waited only about 20 minutes for my appointment.Dr. Goldrich inquired abourt my experience since the surgery and listened attentively to my response. He was able to give useful advice on addressing my concerns and answered all my questions afterwards.
I arrived for my appt. five minutes early and I was kept waiting for an hour and a half in a room CROWDED with sneezing, coughing, crying children and their families.After an hour I inquired when I would see Dr.Goldrich and the receptionist told me casually that he was not in yet and asked if I would like her to page him!!! When he finally did see me I expressed my upset and he did not apologize or respond in any way. His professional competence seemed fine, however this was such an awful experience I would never go there again! Even the parking lot attendant was awful, running over to me and screaming that I couldn't park there, until I told him I was a patient. If you like waiting, germs, and rudeness, this is the place for you.

"Now let's dig a bit deeper into the "real" data, adjusted for inflation and against the backdrop of our growing population.
Declining PPI and declining NY factory index seem to contradict claims that the 'Economy is Recovering'. Perhaps it would be helpful to better understand components. Electronic sales were reportedly below expectations, for example. Did auto sales, above forecast, drive the majority of the improvement? If so, how do auto sales trends compare to historical norms? Net, it may be premature to tout a recovering economy. Auto sales claims are based on shipments to retail, not sales to consumers. Latest reports are that auto inventories at retail are at exceptionally high levels. So, is the auto sales number based on consumer 'take away' or on pipeline fill?

U.S. Sen. John McCain has intensified his criticism of the Goldwater Institute for its "disgraceful" refusal to negotiate with Chicago investor Matthew Hulsizer on his pending purchase of the Phoenix Coyotes.
McCain, R-Ariz., told The Arizona Republic Friday that the high-stakes deal is on the verge of collapsing because of what he characterized as "basically blackmailing by the Goldwater Institute."
"It's not their role to decide whether the Coyotes should stay in (the Phoenix area) or not," McCain said of the Phoenix-based, libertarian-leaning watchdog group. "No one elected them."
Glendale hopes to sell bonds to raise $100 million to help Hulsizer buy the Coyotes from the National Hockey League and keep the team playing at the city's Jobing.com Arena. The Goldwater Institute has signaled that it will challenge the arrangement in court as a violation of the Arizona Constitution. Hulsizer responded by guaranteeing that the team will pay Glendale $75 million in revenue over the course of a 30-year arena lease and that he will cover another $25 million that the city agreed to give the NHL to help offset the Coyotes' financial losses.
Goldwater Institute president Darcy Olsen has said the latest overture would not resolve the legal concerns. McCain counters that former Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods, a longtime friend and political ally of his, says it would.
One Goldwater Institute official questioned McCain's stance, given his long crusade against government waste.
"It's disappointing that someone who has made such a career fighting pork in Washington, D.C., is so willing to support the city of Glendale shoveling $100 million into a Chicago businessman's pocket," said Clint Bolick, the institute's litigation director. "We think it's a bit inconsistent. If he wants the Coyotes to stay, he certainly could consider putting together a group that would buy it on terms that are more favorable to the taxpayers of Glendale."
McCain is a well-known fan of the Coyotes and other Arizona pro-sports teams, but he said that's not why he weighed in.
"The point is they are going to lose a thousand jobs," McCain said. "A non-elected organization is going to cause it."
In other developments:
-�McCain and U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., plan to reintroduce their 10-point border-security plan from last year. And they may have a new House sponsor: U.S. Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., a candidate for the retiring Kyl's seat who last week renounced his longtime support for comprehensive immigration reform and took a harder, pro-enforcement stance.
"I didn't ask him specifically, but I am confident that he will," said McCain, who also once championed comprehensive reform. "I don't think it's in any way counter to Congressman Flake's position on the issues. He has always said we need to get the border secured."
Matt Specht, Flake's chief of staff, said as of Friday details were still being worked out.
-�Former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., an anti-illegal-immigration border hawk, dismissed Flake's conversion as "a load of baloney." In a Friday e-mail to supporters, Tancredo declared that defeating Flake will be a top priority of his Team America political-action committee.

CastleVille is Zynga's "Believable Fantasy World in a Social Space"
Zynga is preparing the next in its series of "Ville" franchise offerings and this one offers a medieval setting called CastleVille.
Two of its predecessor games, CityVille and FarmVille, are among the most popular games on Facebook at a time when the San Francisco-based gaming giant prepares for its upcoming IPO.
Zynga Partners With Enrique Iglesias to Promote CityVille, the Top Game on Facebook
Potrero Hill-based Zynga is announcing today a partnership with international popstar Enrique Iglesias that will kick off next week in its most popular game, CityVille.
Under the deal, which starts next Tuesday and runs for seven days, players will be able to build "Euphoria Arenas" for their virtual cities, collect some free branded virtual items, preview a video of his single, "I Like How It Feels," and interact with the singer's avatar.
The partnership comes just as Iglesias has kicked off an international concert tour, which is branded "Euphoria." This is the third celebrity event for the large social game company, following one with Lady Gaga in May and Dr. Dre last December.

Bottled water sales had experienced rapid growth for more than a decade, as consumers embraced water over soda and other high-calorie beverages. Growth rates have slowed in recent years, due to market saturation, and have taken a more recent tumble on environmental concerns that millions of plastic bottles enter landfills every day, as only a small proportion of them ever reach recycling bins. Plus, why ship water across the globe when it can be affordable when consumed from a local tap?
IN PICTURES: Retire A Millionaire In 10 Steps
Concerns About Tap Water
A shift back to bottled water may take place soon, because a recent New York Times study detailed that "more than 20% of the nation's water treatment systems have violated key provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act over the last five years." It also relayed that "since 2004, the water provided to more than 49 million people has contained illegal concentrations of chemicals like arsenic or radioactive substances like uranium, as well as dangerous bacteria often found in sewage."
A Shift Back to the Bottle?
Pepsi (NYSE:PEP) and Coca Cola (NYSE:KO), with their respective bottled-water brands of Aquafina and Dasani, have relied on water to offset declining sales of their namesake and other soda brands and may again see a boost to these brands if health concerns continue to plague local utility water sources. This would also benefit their bottlers. Pepsi is in the process of acquiring two of its largest bottlers, while Coca-Cola Bottling (Nasdaq:COKE) and Coca-Cola Enterprises (NYSE:CCE) will remain somewhat independent of Coca Cola.
The Bottom Line: Another Way to Profit
Mueller Water Products (NYSE:MWA), which sells water infrastructure produces and services, could also benefit from years of underinvestment in water infrastructure in the United States. Underinvestment internationally is a similar phenomenon and could benefit Veolia Environment (NYSE:VE), which operates a sizable segment to help drinking water plants run more efficiently. It remains to be seen if the current Times study leads to another consumer backlash, but it may prove enough to stem the current unpopularity of bottled water.

Though prices at the Sumalee Thai restaurant can seem high the serves are inflated too, as the plates are meant for sharing. Duck spring rolls give an old favourite some new depth of flavour; Thai pork ribs in sweet curry and basil come on a banana leaf and have a wonderfully moreish curry sauce bursting with fresh herbs. A stir-fry of fresh king prawns with garlic, pepper and three green vegetables seems deceptively simple, but the garlicky sauce is tasty yet light and is a nice counterpoint to the rich ribs. This feast is all served in a beer garden full of dark wood bench seating and potted palms.

5 Must-View Indie Movies on Netflix
So you've signed up as a new Netflix streaming subscriber and you're feeling the initial rush of the seemingless endless choices of indie movies from all corners of the world. The variety and options can be exhilarating. It can also lead to some bad, bad choices. Here's five indie movies that are must see picks for Netflix newbies.
How To Turboboost YouTube Playback (If You're a Time Warner Cable Subscriber)
YouTube playback can be painfully unbearable to watch over at our apartment, with an annoying propensity for playback of almost any 720-1080p video to stutter and even stop completely mid-video. Little did I know the problem wasn't a slow internet connection or even YouTube servers, but possible behind-the-scene shenanigans from our service provider throttling connections to cached servers...

Weekend Film Fest: 10 Movies Anyone Can Stream for Free on Hulu
Did you know that you don't always need a paid Hulu Plus account to access many of the movies they offer? While the streaming site is popular for catching up on TV shows, Hulu also offers a decent library of movies that are free to view...
Ten Oscar Winning Movies You Can Stream on Netflix Before the Big Show
Sometimes, it's feels like awards season is all about best dressed lists, bejeweled clutches, and red carpet reports. One way to keep the focus on film is to seek out and enjoy a few previous winners. There are a surprising number of Oscar winning and nominated films already available on Netflix Instant that span nearly 60 years of movie and Academy history with winners in nearly every category.
Skipping the Hassle Of Hiding Home Theater Wiring
We've always preached the pros of going wireless here at Apartment Therapy (check out Joel's wireless audio setup), and there have always been pros and cons. This is the year to finally take your video and audio wireless and stop stressing about running unsightly wiring all over your home.
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Streaming Video
