Tippett Studios' Phil Tippett has shared some very interesting behind-the-scenes pictures from the creation of wolves for The Twilight Saga on his Twitter feed lately, and in one of the images, a glimpse of the wolf which inspired the look of Jacob Black is shown. How cute is that?
According to Tippett, the actual wolves pictured were used merely as references for the team, which then created the wolves for the films by computer generation.
Also of interest is an interview NBC San Diego did with one of the Tippett Studios team members in which he discusses the improvements in technology and its effect on the Saga's wolves.
According to him, when the team first linked up with Summit Entertainment to create the wolves with The Twilight Saga: New Moon, there were about two million hairs generated for each wolf, and by the time they got toThe Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, there were ten to twelve million hairs per creature. Interesting, no?

Looking for the perfect gift for your resident Twilight fan recipient this year? Help is here.
With The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 ending the film series on a high and sentimental note, it's the perfect time to bestow some Saga swag upon your loved one(s). To help guide you through what's new on the market with Breaking Dawn - Part 2and the Twilight Saga at large, here's a merchandise run-down!
Soundtrack and Score: The Breaking Dawn - Part 2 soundtrack is a great go-to present for any Twilight fan, but you should also give Carter Burwell's Part 2 score some consideration as well. Both are lovely bookends to the musical series of these films.
Twilight Fine Jewelry: Finally, there are now some Twilight-themed jewelry pieces on the market that'll last a long, long time. Bed Bath and Beyond carries the new collection of Twilight Saga jewelry on their website.
Twilight Barbies: Mattel has added a few pieces to its Twilight Saga Barbie line, including a Bella vampire doll and the rest of the Cullens.
Calendar: It's not too late to pick up a Breaking Dawn - Part 2-themed sixteen month calendar for next year either. Or the wedding ornament themed with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 for that matter.
The Twilight Saga: The Complete Journey: Writer Robert Abele put together one heck of an archive on theTwilight Saga, and it's pretty much a must-have for theTwilight book collection. With cool inserts, interviews and set stories, it's got a lot of things fans won't see anywhere else.
White Collection: Even if the fan you're buying for has the entire Twilight book series in original and movie tie-in versions, chances are they'll appreciate the new Twilight Saga White Collection being released on Dec. 4. Pretty! Also worth consideration: the Twilight: Graphic Novel Collector's Edition.

Remember when Kristen Stewart told the story of when she got to hang out with The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence andHarry Potter star Emma Watson at the same time?
Well, back then she kept her lips zipped on the details of the conversation the three shared, but in a recent interview with Focus Magazine in Germany, she came forth with her words for her fellow starlet Lawrence.
"I told her: 'Enjoy it, and at the same time, remember your own values," she explained. "The hype caught us all completely by surprise ... The fans went literally crazy — suddenly we needed bodyguards. That was crazy."
Stewart also explained her feelings on the Twilight Saga coming to a close with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, saying "That's over now, and I'm not sad about it. The Saga was a dominant part of my life during the past five years. It happened incredibly much in that time - and I've definitely become adult."
Thanks: Wetpaint
Now that the Twilight Saga is complete, with all five installments out there for the world to see, it's time to decide once and for all which movie scenes are the fan favorites.
I polled a few fellow Twilight fans to see what they'd choose, and surprisingly, the results are very, very split. Take a look at what they had to say were their faves (for those curious, mine's the Twilight cafeteria scene).
Be warned: There are some spoilers!
Heidi T.: I LOVE the scene when Victoria is following Charlie in the woods but then is chased by the wolves. I also love the baseball scene. I love them all!
Carol M.: I had lots of options to tell like the first kiss in Twilight, the one Bella saves Edward in New Moon, the tent scene in Eclipse, the wedding in Breaking Dawn - Part 1 or the meadow in Breaking Dawn - Part 2, but I absolutely loved Edward and Bella's first night after her transformation. It was magical, romantic, hot and beautiful! Love it!
Tammy S.: Honeymoon.
Amber B.: I love them all except when Edward left Bella, but in the end it was great.
Kaiti F.: The baseball scene and the very last scene inBreaking Dawn - Part 2.
Bella T.: When Bella found out that Jake imprinted on her daughter. I was dying it was so funny. Oh and everything with Nessie in it. Love that girl.
Adrian G.: My favorite is still the same when Edward walks into the cafeteria for the first time and also when he introduces himself to Bella.
Chrysti R.: When Caius and Aro Died.
Deborah B.: I have a lot of favorites. First is when Jacob phases for the first time and second is Bella and Edward's wedding. Another one is when Bella sees Renesmee for the first time after her transformation. All the films are brilliant, love them all.
Susan B.: I love when Edward takes Bella to dinner in Twilight because it's when they start falling in love!
Hannah A.: The last one when Bella put off her shield.
LaVida C.: The proposal!
Shalin H.: Not that it's a favorite but when Jacob takes his shirt for the first time when Bella hits her head on the rock and then when Edward catches the apple.
Taynara S.: Love-making in both Breaking Dawns. Beautiful, romantic and elegant scenes.
Janelle C.: The wedding.
Maria E.: Baseball match.
Beverly W.: I love the whole series but my favorite is when Bella says to Edward in Part 1, 'What, you're not a virgin?' I also love the way the boys act together when the take off for the bachelor party. It makes them seem like true brothers!
Paola D.: My favorite has always been in the first Twilight - prom in the gazebo, when Bella tells Edward that she wants to be just like him so they could be together forever.
Stephanie J.: Flashback at the end of Breaking Dawn - Part 2.
Carol B.: The first kiss and when he saves her from the van.
Amaris J.: Kinda hard to just pick one, but I would have to say the wedding and most definitely when Bella is a vampire. I love how they made the sex scene in Breaking Dawn - Part 2. It was tasteful and it looked wonderful.
Wendy W.: In Twilight, when Edward tells Bella at the restaurant he doesn't have the strength to stay away from her. Love that scene!
Kim S.: A few favorites: the first kiss, the propsal in Edward's bedroom, the wedding and Bella showing Edward her memories.
Ashley J.: Alice's vision of the fight in Breaking Dawn - Part 2.
Heidi H.: I got all emotional at the end of Breaking Dawn - Part 2 where Bella shows her memories to Edward. It was so beautiful, and it sums up the journey of the whole Saga.
Amanda K.: I love it when Edward tells Bella he is leaving her in New Moon because you can actually feel the pain that she is feeling. I love the way they are looking at each other in class in Twilight - you can feel the love. In Eclipse I love the whole engagement scene. I loved all of Breaking Dawn, and Part 2 just blew my mind!
Kelli J.: Edward playing Bella's lullaby. That beautiful piece has carried me through the series. Carter Burwell has made so many unbelievable variations of that piece.
Paula B.: Twilight at the end when they are at dance and she wants him to change her right there loved his response.
Rachael H.: The first kiss! You can feel the pent up sexual frustration! its palpable!
Noemi A.: In Twilight, when Bella enters Mr. Molina's classroom for the first time and sits next to Edward. Behind Edward there is a white owl. Towards the end of the lesson there is a scene where the owl's wings seem to grow out of Edward's back and Edward looks like an angel. I'm totally team Jacob, but this is my absolute favorite.
Glenda C.: Jacob imprinting on Renesmee and seeing "Nessie" grow up to a beautiful lady!
Shirley W.: The "so the lion fell in love with the lamb" scene for sure! They both just give in to their feelings after that one which leads to the first kiss scene which is awesome.
Cat L.: When Edward walks into the cafeteria.
Catherine W-P.: When he tells how he always underestimates her.
Barrie S.: When Bella finally lets Edward in and he sees how she feels.
Your favorites? Hit the comments!

The Hollywood Reporter has a fantastic new interview with Twilight Saga author Stephenie Meyer, and in it, she gave quite a few new details about her thoughts on the series at its close.
One of the subjects up for discussion was that original draft of the script for Twilight. As she explained recently on Jimmy Kimmel Live, it was way off-base and almost made it so the movie didn't happen.
According to Meyer, the only reason it did end up going through was a little begging on the part of film studio Summit Entertainment.
"We got lucky where with Catherine Hardwicke, she really wanted to make it like the book. There was an original script before we were with Summit that was so completely bizarrely different," she explained. "FBI, boat chases, night vision goggles, Bella with a gun. Yeah, it was crazy. At the time -- once you give away your rights you can't object to the changes. It was just kind of like, 'ahh!' And then they didn't make it and they let the rights come back, and it was like, 'OK, I'm taking this home and no one's ever touching it again.' Then Erik Feig called and said, 'Please we'll do anything. We really want to make your story.' It's like, 'Yeah, I've heard that before.' And he's like, 'No, no,' and he let me come up with a rider where I wrote all these things that couldn't change. They were like, 'Yes, we'll do it' and I was like, 'Oh, OK, well then I guess you really do want to make it as it is. That's cool.'"
As for some specifics on Twilight, Meyer said that Ashley Greene as Alice Cullen is the closest to her imagination and that originally someone else was supposed to portray Emmett Cullen before Kellan Lutz got the part, and she had to put the kibosh on that. Also, in her mind Breaking Dawn and New Moon were the hardest to adapt (no surprise there), and the reason she didn't pen the Twilight screenplay adaptation herself is, "It's like cutting off your fingers every time you lose a word. I know that I can't do that, and I'm happy to have someone come in who can be a little bit more distanced from it."
Interestingly, Meyer's affiliation with the casting process became more and more involved as the Saga went on. As she explained it, "With Twilight, I wasn't involved at all with the casting in the original. They kept me in the loop, which was great. They'd be like, 'Hey Kristen Stewart's gonna do it' and I was like, 'Really? Awesome." With the second one I got a little bit more involved, by the third one I was very involved, and then with the last one I was a producer. That was great because I got to see all of the auditions."
As for the next series on the agenda, The Host, Stephenie Meyer mentioned that it's been "really tough" for her to write the sequel while the first movie was in production this year.
"I mean, it's such a different kind of creative expenditure. When you're working on the movies, it's very collaborative, there's a lot of other people involved, and you sort of put in your two cents where you can and consult a bit. When you're writing, it's all you all the time and it is interesting to have the actors in the back of my head and think, 'Anything that I write down, they may have to do.'It's a little bit more challenging to have that distraction," she explained, adding that she's "not very far" into the draft for book two but that the producers would "like to keep going" with adapting the full series. "I think the biggest hold up is the fact that I'm writing so slow," she admitted.

Pussy 100% natural energy gears up for global launch with Branson investment
The drink is pure: it's your mind that's the problem
LONDON, 3rd October 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Pussy, the only 100% natural energy drink made from milk thistle and schizandra is gearing up for a global launch over the next six months with new investors Holly and Sam Branson joining the brand.
Created by British entrepreneur Jonnie Shearer in 2004, Pussy has been a well kept secret in celebrity circles until London fashion store Selfridges ordered thousands of cans this summer. Tesco has followed suit recently launching Pussy in selected stores. Now firmly in the retail spotlight, Pussy is finalising global distribution deals – and with Branson investment, has its sights set on knocking taurine based energy drinks off the number one spot.
Holly Branson said: "When I see and experience a brand I love, I want to get involved. Pussy is fun, irreverent and exciting. The energy drinks market is growing, but it's crowded with unhealthy options. Investing in Pussy is my commitment to a product that I believe in."
Sam Branson commented: "Pussy initially turned my head for all the obvious reasons, but then I was impressed by the taste and how naturally stimulating it is."
With Holly and Sam Branson's support, Pussy is seeking partners to expand into further international territories including the USA and will launch in Russia this month. Currently, it is stocked in 3,500 retail outlets and is available to order by the case online.
Jonnie Shearer, founder of Pussy said: "Seven years into marketing the brand through word of mouth, members' clubs and private events from Monaco to LA, we're proud to be recognised as a major player in the energy drinks market. My plan is to make Pussy a lifestyle brand, like the Virgin brand that I have admired so much over the years."
3,000 cans of Pussy were transformed in to a 8m wide and 1.5m high 3D sculpture by installation artist Emma Winter to announce Sam and Holly Branson's investment in Pussy, the 100% natural energy drink.

About Pussy
Pussy Natural Energy Drinks was originally created in 2004 by Jonnie Shearer.
In a world of artificial additives and chemically derived energy products, Jonnie Shearer's mission was to create a premium 100% natural energy drink that is clean, refreshing and naturally stimulating.
By personally sampling the purest of botanical extracts including milk thistle, Siberian ginseng, sarsaparilla, schizandra and guarana and mixing them together with white grape juice from Southern Italy, lightly carbonated water, grenadilla, lychee and pressed Mexican limes, Jonnie Shearer created Pussy. The finished product contains no artificial flavours making it unlike any other energy drink on the market.
As the ad campaign says: 'the drink is pure, it's your mind that's the problem.'
Pussy is available from independent retailers, cash and carry and wholesalers across the UK and is now stocked in Selfridges, the UK's most stylish department store, Tesco and London sushi chain itsu. Pussy is also now on sale on Virgin Trains.

Sunset Orange: Great Vintage Furniture On The East Side
- Location: Los Angeles, CA
- Website: sunsetorange.net
While Abbott Kinney and La Brea (Montana and Melrose while we're at it) have some of the greatest restored/vintage furniture shops we've ever seen, the further east you go the more endless the possibilities become... and often for so much less, especially if you want to recover or redo what you buy yourself.
Sunset Orange is one more reason to come east. There is not always a lot to look at. Sometimes you have to settle for checking out the cool art on the walls.
But sometimes there are things like this: Unbelievably gorgeous Danish folding chairs. Please take heed: the good folks in Silverlake are competitive but they aren't stupid. These chairs were near perfect and you'll pay for it.
If you're a sucker for design, watching these stunningly, crafted chairs fold is what makes you say, "$450 each? Worth it."
1 Comment
The good gentlema at Sunset Orange ALWAYS have soemthing wonderful to pick up in their store and if you are very very nice they will explain to neophites like myself the intricacies of midcentury fabrics! I had no idea - it was a whole new world. Their product is always beautiful and amsaing I coveted a tile table for ages (dumb me - it went fast) their prices are very reasonable for the merch they are seling and they never turn up their noses at nosey inquisitive pets like myself.

Things I liked:I love this pistol. I get my best results with Vogel 4.495 head pellets. Some complain about the grips being bulky. Of course they are! It presented a great opportunity to whittle and sand my way to very well customized grips.
Things I would have changed:Nothing!
Things I liked:Solid, easy to use. Accurate.
Things I would have changed:I wouldn't recommend the upgraded trigger unless you have very long fingers. Doesn't change any real function of the trigger anyway.I changed it back to original.
Things I liked:Have considered one of these for sometime. Trigger is great. Accurate right out of the box. Still getting used to it but am quite impressed. Shooting in my garage into a 22 trap. This is going to make those long winter days a little less boring I think. Purchased through the CMP which saved me quite a bit of money as well.
Things I would have changed:Nothing so far!!!
What others should know:Could have purchased any number of 22 or center fire hand guns for the price of this air pistol but am very glad I purchased this instead. Makes shooting in the home quite easy and practice with this is going to make me a better handgun shooter all the way around. Know that I will need to work on the grip to fit my hand a bit better but going to shoot as is until my hand tells me what to change.
Michael--You are correct that the CMP offers discounts when you buy certain guns from us. You must be a CMP member to participate in their program. However, the CMP agreement for the IZH 46M has expired since you made your purchase.

Storms predicted to hit the Washington region this week could slow down electric companies' efforts to restore thousands of residents' power, company officials say.
The National Weather Service predicts scattered thunderstorms throughout the week, with the strongest storms expected to hit Tuesday and Wednesday. Should the storms materialize, they will hit a region already ravaged by Friday night's derecho -- a storm with fierce, straight-line winds -- that destroyed homes and cut power to 1.5 million in the Washington area alone.
As of Sunday night, more than 851,000 people still lacked power.
New storms could impede efforts to restore power, warned Robert Gould, spokesman for Baltimore Gas and Electric Co.
If Pepco customers who now have power lose it in the coming days as a result of new storms, they will get added to the company's already lengthy to-do list, said Pepco Region President Thomas Graham. Priority goes to facilities like hospitals, water pumping stations and electric substations.
"It's all a function of how much damage we experience," Graham said. "We're essentially rebuilding our infrastructure, and for it to be destroyed again would be frustrating."
As of Sunday night, 332,948 Pepco customers in the District and Prince George's and Montgomery counties still were without power, though about 110,000 had their power restored. Meanwhile, 245,578 Dominion Virginia Power customers in Northern Virginia and 272,740 BGE customers in Maryland were still in the dark.
Dominion Virginia Power expects to have power back for between 90 and 95 percent of customers by Thursday night.
Even without new storms, Graham said he could not promise power would be restored to 90 percent of the 443,000 Pepco customers who lost it by Friday at 11 p.m.
Pepco, BGE and Dominion all warn it could be well into the coming weekend before everyone is restored.
Of the three, Pepco is restoring electricity at the slowest rate. While Dominion Virginia Power had turned lights back on for about 51 percent of the roughly 500,000 Northern Virginia customers who lost power and BGE had restored 55 percent of the 615,000 customers who lost it, Pepco had restored power to only about 25 percent of the total 443,000 customers who lost it.
Local elected officials were not happy with the results.
"We're making progress, but still not at a level that I find acceptable," said Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett, especially "when we're dealing with people in 100-degree heat-plus humidity."
One senior D.C. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, complained that Pepco's D.C. customers were taking a back seat to those in Montgomery County.
"We would be much farther ahead if it was up to us," he said. "There's some question of how Pepco is divvying up its resources."
But Graham denied any favoritism. "Our restoration process is based on need and ... damage to the system."
Staff Writer Alan Blinder contributed to this report.

Privacy on the Line, updated and expanded edition
Telecommunication has never been perfectly secure. The Cold War culture of recording devices in telephone receivers and bugged embassy offices has been succeeded by a post-9/11 world of NSA wiretaps and demands for data retention. Although the 1990s battle for individual and commercial freedom to use cryptography was won, growth in the use of cryptography has been slow. Meanwhile, regulations requiring that the computer and communication industries build spying into their systems for government convenience have increased rapidly. The application of the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act has expanded beyond the intent of Congress to apply to voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and other modern data services; attempts are being made to require ISPs to retain their data for years in case the government wants it; and data mining techniques developed for commercial marketing applications are being applied to widespread surveillance of the population.
In Privacy on the Line, Whitfield Diffie and Susan Landau strip away the hype surrounding the policy debate over privacy to examine the national security, law enforcement, commercial, and civil liberties issues. They discuss the social function of privacy, how it underlies a democratic society, and what happens when it is lost. This updated and expanded edition revises their original—and prescient—discussions of both policy and technology in light of recent controversies over NSA spying and other government threats to communications privacy.
About the Authors
Whitfield Diffie, the inventor of public-key cryptography, is Visiting Professor at Royal Holloway College at the Universityof London.
Susan Landau is a privacy analyst at Google. She was previously a Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems, and has been a faculty member at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and at Wesleyan University.
Landau has been a Guggenheim fellow, a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and is a fellow of the American Association for the advancement of Science and the Association for Computing Machinery.

Epicenter Community Provides Safe Water to 6,000 Villagers
Our colleagues in Ethiopia are pleased to announce that a water supply project at the Jaldu Epicenter is nearly complete! This project will supply clean tap water, via seven operational water points, to over 6,000 of our grassroots partners, who once suffered endemic waterborne disease. No longer will women and children need to travel three to six kilometers each day during the dry season to fetch water.
This project was completed in partnership with Rotary International, other local Rotary Clubs in Ethiopia and The Hunger Project (THP). On top of these financial investments, the contribution of the Jaldu community was immense. The community contributed local material; labor; transportation, storage and management of construction materials; information during the study phase and site selection; and their leadership in ensuring the project progressed according to plan. Moreover, they achieved this in the face of challenges, such as the scarcity and price escalation of construction materials.
Thousands of community members, men and women, devoted hours and hours of their time to developing a safe water supply during the last several months. In addition to providing clean water to nearby villages, the project has created job opportunities for community members.
The women and men of the Jaldu Epicenter have expressed their immense satisfaction and pride in what they have achieved. They stated that they have learned a lot from the whole process, particularly that development is possible through their own efforts and participation. They are confident that they will properly manage their new water supply and duly protect their property.
Congratulations to our partners at Jaldu and to the entire THP-Ethiopia team on this success!
April 2009

With all the debate about SOAP vs REST I thought it would be worth a few column inches pointing out the differences between the two.
REST is an architectural style. SOAP is a message format. With SOAP there is a well defined processing and extensibility model. The two are not directly comparable in my opinion. The confusions comes as both approaches (for lack of a better word) are used to deliver web services.
In the future I would hope to see both REST and SOAP being offered (as they are in our very own Amazon Web Services AWS), there are peculiar advantages for each approach.
There is the simplicity, of REST with its HTTP verbs
allowing for simple querying of a distant resource, and the coming
transactional model support in SOAP, that will allow for far more complicated
activities via Web Services.
In fact using SOAP 1.2 many of the RESTful features people so love (e.g. URI interface) can be combined with a SOAP payload, I think this is the beginning of an beautiful friendship.
REST's straight forward nature offers low barriers of entry into using web services, this has resulted in the typical take up being 80% skewed in favor of REST implementations by our own AWS.
I tend to think of REST as an introduction to the world of web services, and introduction that's mostly good enough, especially for now, but one where it may need to be combined with some of the heavy weight features being built into SOAP for future applications.
My advice is pick the best one for you, but keep an eye on both as I am certain they have a bright future together

Olympic rookie Patrick Mills is keeping his options open about nominating for the NBA draft despite earning rave reviews for his Beijing performances and being hailed as a future NBA player by the American coach.
The speedy point guard returned to Australia on Tuesday for a brief break before starting his second year at St Marys University in California.
The `baby' of the Boomers squad, who turned 20 just two weeks ago, was still undecided whether he would opt to go into the NBA draft after his second year in college.
"It would be good to finish the four years and get a degree at the end of it, but if bigger and better things do come around, I'll weigh the options," Mills said.
USA coach Mike Krzyzewski had no doubt Mills would be an NBA player.
The quicksilver Aborigine was Australia's leading scorer in the tournament with 14.2 points per game, played the second most minutes of anyone on the team and finished in the top 10 in the tournament in steals and free throw percentage.
The Canberra-bred youngster said he took a lot out of playing against renowned American point guards Jason Kidd and Chris Paul.

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) - If you see a purple contraption hanging in a tree this summer… no, you're not just seeing things. The purple boxes are traps used to catch the Emerald Ash Borer, and track its anticipated trek across the state. Donna Gilson is spokesperson for the Wisconsin Dept. of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection, and says, "What we're trying to do is detect new infestations of emerald Ash Borer. This is not a means of controlling Emerald Ash Borer. If you see them it does not mean that we have found Emerald Ash Borer. We're looking of it to try and stay ahead of it a little bit." The public is being asked to please allow workers on private property to set up the traps, which will be placed on a scientifically determined grid. There'll be about 1,100 of the traps set with the majority of those located in the northern half of the state.
Gilson added that Central Wisconsin appears to be free of the pest for now, as long as it doesn't get spread through the transporting of firewood. According to Gilson, "That's the worry in Central Wisconsin right now. It's not the natural spread, it's that someone would bring it in from one of the infested areas of the state."
EAB has already been confirmed in 13 counties around the state: Brown, Crawford, La Crosse, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Rock, Trempealeau, Vernon, Walworth, Washington and Waukesha.

Final Distribution of Garbage Carts Starting in Urban Services District
Thursday July 31, 2003
Mayor Jerry Abramson announced today that the final distribution of the popular large garbage carts is taking place over the next two weeks in the Urban Services District.
The distribution of 18,540 carts, which hold up to 200 pounds of garbage, or as much as three regular garbage cans, is taking place in parts of eight Metro Council Districts. The neighborhoods represent the final areas of the Urban Services District to receive the carts.
Abramson set aside $800,000 in the recently approved 2003 budget to complete the cart distribution. The move helps the city's Department of Solid Waste Management Services cut costs while improving efficiency. With the large carts, for example, solid waste officials can in some cases reduce the size of a crew needed to handle pickup.
"These large carts have proven to be extremely popular in helping residents contain more garbage to keep their neighborhoods cleaner and more beautiful," Abramson said. "I'm excited that, working with the Metro Council, we're in the final stages of completing this distribution so that everyone who received garbage service from Metro Government can enjoy this benefit."
A spreadsheet is attached that lists the neighborhoods included in the final distribution list. Keith Hackett, director of Solid Waste Management Services, said the distribution should be completed by Aug. 15.
Residents can call MetroCall at 311 or 574-5000 if they have questions about the new cart system, Hackett said.
The carts, which carry the new community's seal, also come with directions for how to use them properly. The carts are bar coded and assigned to each address. They are made of high-density polyethylene plastic and are 100 percent recyclable.

"That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence." – Christopher Hitchens. Do you agree?
As human beings, when we first hear this quote we instantly agree to it and make a correlation with science. But when we actually listen to this quote and ponder about it, we figure we cannot entirely agree with this quote or disagree with it completely. This quote brings about various knowledge issues and in some cases you agree and some cases you cannot. The knowledge issues that come up are – science, history, human science, religion, belief, and faith.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Dec 20 2012: Yes. I agree. Any statement can be asserted or dismissed without evidence. This much of this is true. With that said, this statement itself can be easily dismissed.
Whether a statement *should* be accepted or dismissed is a whole different question.
This statement seems to be made by a person fairly ignorant of how and why people accept or reject various statements. By far, it has nothing to do with evidence, reason, or logic.
What is counted as evidence? Should we accept any evidence or should we reject some evidence? Why? Should we ask for evidence that the evidence is authentic? To what degree? Where should we stop and believe the evidence? Why? Why shouldn't we accept the assertion itself in the first place?
Andy HoodDec 26 2012: Really? I wholeheartedly agree with the Hitch and I think you should do too. Think hard about it before judging. Your point that people do tend to make decisions about statements without recourse to due evidence, reason and logic is precisely why the long-suffering (fools, that is!) Hitch had to make the damned point in the first place.
And as to your frankly child-like questions as to evidence... extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. But this doesn't have any bearing on the question at hand: is it correct to say that in a debate any imbecile who presents ideas without any logic, reason or evidence OUGHT to expect to be told that they are an imbecile and their thoughts worthless? Unfortunately, though, by simple appeal to feelings and instinct and emotions, such arguments are ofttimes given too much weight instead of being soundly dismissed.
I not only agree with the statement but also feel that the World would be a better place if we taught this to children instead of laughable intelligent design!
Dec 26 2012: Andy, I did think hard. Read your own arguments. "fools", "imbecile", "laughable", "worthless", "child-like". You are appealing to emotion in your own arguments.
The statement I made is not emotional. Here is a good start to understand the complexity of this question: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/ethics-belief/
I do not promote intelligent design and I think religion needs to be kept out of science and science out of religion. You better keep them separated. Yes, in natural science, evidence is needed. Note the limited scope.
As for Hitchens' quote, I did not say I disagree with it. Note that it is worded carefully "...can be dismissed..." It does not mean "should be dismissed".
Andy HoodDec 29 2012: Yes, I use emotion as well as logic to convey a point. No crime there.
I read your original comments as partially facetious, largely pretentious, wholly patronising and completely missing the point.
This is not what you said but it IS how I read it. Forgive (and correct) me if I'm wrong:
1. I agree with the statement
2. I will now reword the original, subtly changing the meaning
3. I will now pontificate about a completely trivial reading of the quotation that I have helped to manipulate you into seeing by my clever rewording of the original phrase.
4. I will now make it clear that my agreement with the statement is conditional on the statement being read the wrong way.
5. I will now criticise the author (damn his Hitchy britches!) with slanderous abandon.
6. Having knocked the (now dead) competition, I shall demonstrate my incredible intelligence by displaying what a deep philosopher I am... let me ask you some solipsistic questions and show you what a deep thinker I am.
I don't know where to begin, really. Let me have a go:
Christopher Hitchens was a great many things; he was a great man; what he was not, however, was ignorant on how and why people accept or reject various statements. He was a great writer, a great thinker, a great philosopher and a great speaker. He understood more about why people accept or reject various statements than you, my young philosopher, will likely ever do. Well done for noting that human brains tend not to make decisions without emotional or cognitive bias. How clever you are. Really. Pat yourself on the back for stating the bleeding obvious.
The questions you pose at the end of your comments are... ironic! The GENIUS of the original quotation is just that it asks (and answers) those same questions, if you would but read it properly... only he doesn't get bogged down with "should"... he just relates to the reality of what people will accept or reject.
Now I cannot rest until you bow to the genius that was Hitch!
Dec 29 2012: Andy, your reply does not address the questions I asked other than calling them "childlike", "pretentious", "patronizing", etc. There are other commenters here who seem to have a similar point of view. If you don't like my tone, I'd be interested to see what you would reply to Krisztián Pintér's comment above, for example. I am not very interested in discussing tones and personalities.

New Drivers and BIOS Plans for ATI Graphics Cards
It was good news across the board for ATI graphics card owners with AMD deciding to go for a free driver and immediately delivering the goods. Now the proprietary Linux driver, Fglrx 8.42.3, has been released, and it promises various improvements.
The new ATI graphics driver supports Compiz, Beryl and Compiz Fusion with or without XGL. The driver has new code for AIGLX support. It uses the X.org server up to version 1.4. Thanks to the TexturedVideo playback feature Fglrx 8.42.3 is said to have vastly improved video support on top of generally improved performance.
But there's one thing the driver can't do: it doesn't support the current 2.6.23 Linux kernel, although an update promises to close the gap. The current release is available for the R300 through R600 series cards, but doesn't support ATI's FireGL models. The driver installer and release notes for Fglrx 8.42.3 are available for downloading from the ATI support pages.
Developer Oliver McFadden published plans hack the ATI graphics card BIOS in his blog: "I've been thinking about doing some reverse engineering of AtomBIOS, the BIOS used on newer Radeon cards; R500, R600, etc. Ultimately I'd like to create a free software (GPL) replacement BIOS for at least one Radeon card ." The aim is to improve ATI card performance on Linux. If he's successful, McFadden will be releasing the BIOS under the GPL.

Our Favorite Small Space Desks from ICFF
We've already proclaimed our love for the Tools at Schools desk as our fav overall pick from this year's ICFF show. But there were plenty other desks that offered a bevy of storage solutions for small spaces inside compact form factors, with new designs and some revived from the past...
More posts from ICFF 2011:
2 Comments
I love the unidentified #1 as well.
I have a hard time choosing desks because I love them all, started when I was three and refused to remove myself from the chalkboard top with storage underneath little beauty in the PX. My mom couldn't get me to understand that one was coming home with us but it was in box, apparantly I was gripping the desk with all my might while tears ran down my face.
Rather than a desk, try a handheld computer and a clipboard.

Caledonia Wild! Spring 2005
Trees for Life magazine, Caledonia Wild! Spring 2005
To receive the complete copy of our magazines, please Join Trees for Life as a Member - with your support we will also be more effective in our work to restore the Caledonian Forest.
Bursting Forth with New Life!
In early March I spent two snowy days up in Glen Affric with a group of participants from the Findhorn Foundation's annual Ecovillage Training Programme. At the end of the second day, I led the group on a silent contemplative walk through the old forest. It was a rare, totally wind-still day, and as I quietly walked in the snow, I had a powerful sense of all the vitality and new growth of spring just waiting to unfold. It felt like a vast potential of new life on the brink of bursting forth, and I was struck by the intensity and strength of what I experienced.
As I contemplated this, I realised that it was similar to, and symbolic of, what I've felt during the winter about Trees for Life itself: that much of the potential for growth and development of our project which has been latent for a while is now ready to burst forth with new life. A key element of this was a daylong workshop with Geoff Sharp, one of our directors, in late November. The day culminated with the staff setting ambitious targets designed to make this a real breakthrough year, including a doubling of our membership base, the planting of the half-millionth tree since our project began, a substantial increase in the level of funding we receive and the purchase of our own land for forest restoration. Further details of how you can help with these, plus the practical projects we will be implementing this year, are featured inside this edition of Caledonia Wild! (which is now bursting forth in colour throughout - the result of a new press installed by our printers).
It's a very exciting period, and it also seems very timely to take a major step forward with our work to restore the Caledonian Forest. The growing international concerns about the threats posed by human-induced climate change and the accelerating loss of biological diversity highlight the need for ecological restoration to take place everywhere.
The opportunity this presents was a key feature of a 10 day trip I made to Hong Kong in January, where I was invited to lead two daylong workshops and give 12 public lectures to business people, government staff, conservationists and 1,000 schoolchildren. With its polluted air, massive human population and intensely market-driven economy, Hong Kong may seem an unlikely place for restoration. However, it's a microcosm of many of the world's problems, and there's a rapidly growing environmental awareness bursting forth in the populace - my visit has helped to catalyse a substantial forest restoration proposal for one of the islands there.
Back here in Scotland, the snow has gone from Glen Affric and our volunteers are hard at work planting the 50,000 trees we'll put in the ground this year. Our office is all abuzz with energy as we seek to implement the goals which we've set, but to succeed with those we need the help of all our members and supporters. So please join us in bursting forth with new life and help make this a truly breakthrough year for our work!

Would be funny if we had 3 winners this round
Róth Tharith, handdrawn map by Khamero
Ealos - Land of Eternal Strife by Larion
Isiliad Delemai - The Wretched Realms - by Schwarzkreuz
If there are joint winners then I believe that each of them gets a compass (regardless of the amount), rare thing to have 3 though!
Would be funny if we had 3 winners this round
Woaow, lots of really good work here... It'll be difficult to give my votes...
1/ Eshtannakuth by Larb: good work and original given the topic
2/ Isiliad Delemai - The Wretched Realms - by Schwarzkreuz: nice work, I really appreciate the details and feeling, the border too
3/ Lorgan by Sapiento: good work, as usual, really like the color scheme and border
Honorable mention:
Khemet by vorropohaiah: really like the location icons
Tir Oiche by Diamond: would have been one of my first 3 without the mountain little problems
Bagsnubxesorosmlo by Javert: nice and original with not so used style about forest etc.
Orsmata by matty406: nice work
Numthur by mostly_harmless: nice, but for me this is not really a map, it lacks everything that makes a map, maybe it's not finished?
Diamond got my vote, some really great entries, but when I looked at the detail as a comparison I feel Diamond's just kept the quality. Good job to all though.
