Microsoft Security Bulletin MS11-096 - Important
Vulnerability in Microsoft Excel Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2640241)
Published: | Updated:
Version: 1.1
General Information
Executive Summary
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Office. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted Excel file. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. Installing and configuring Office File Validation (OFV) to prevent the opening of suspicious files blocks the attack vectors for exploiting the vulnerabilities described in CVE-2011-3403. See the section, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Related to This Security Update, for more information about how the Office File Validation feature can be configured to block the attack vectors.
This security update is rated Important for all supported editions of Microsoft Excel 2003 and Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting the way that Microsoft Excel manages objects in memory. For more information about the vulnerabilities, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for the specific vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability Information.

Here are the show opening clips
Small world
Indiana Jones
Fountain of Nations Yanni: Standing in motion
Haunted Mansion
I just emailed Lou about this, but I know he's probably swamped with emails, so I thought someone on here might know the answer. On the 8 August 2010 episode, during the audio intro at the very beginning of the show, there's a clip sandwiched in between some stuff from Dinosaur! and some of the seance script from Haunted Mansion. It sounds like parade or show music, but I can't place it. Does anyone know?

Yes, that's it! Yanni's Standing in Motion.
It's a wonderful piece of music and makes me happy every time I hear it (I have it on my ipod!).
It's on his CD "In Celebration of Life"
Really nice thing to do and of course I totally agree

Members of the Delta Volunteer Fire Department are collecting donations for their annual fireworks display — the only fireworks show in Delta County held on the 4th of July. A spectacular display is planned over Confluence Lake.
You can ensure the continuation of this tradition by "filling the boot" with donations. Firefighters will be stationed at Delta area stores most Saturdays through the month of June. They'll also be calling on Delta businesses, which have always generously supported the patriotic display.

May 23, 2013 - I LOVE IT !!!!!!! My second favorite piece of jewlery that I own !!!! The Bible verse is a wonderful uplifting reminder ...it empowers me daily !!!!!!!
December 23, 2012 - I really like the inscription, but I lost alot of the stone the 1st time I wore it. But I am still wearing it, because of what it means! I will wait upon the Lord!
September 28, 2012 - The ring was really pretty when it came, but within a few days showed scratches and the settings began to fall out. What a shame. I can't wear the ring because of missing stones and it looks bad. Wish this had not happened as I really liked it.
September 20, 2012 - I wear my fashion jewelry gently and only for a few hours at a time so that it will last. I love the Isaiah quote inside this ring and it was purchased to support meals for our veterans.
June 24, 2012 - The ring is not great quality - 5 stones fell out the first time I wore it. I am not returning it because I bought it to support the troops & for the inscription inside. Veteran's site might want to think about insuring better quality in the future, however.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Feb. 7, 2006 - ODBMS.ORG, a non-profit group which publishes the Internet's most up-to-date educational and research portal on object database technology, today announced two new members to the organization's panel of industry sponsors: Progress Software, developers of ObjectStore, and GemStone Systems, makers of Facets and GemStone/S.
Progress and GemStone join founding sponsor db4objects and 75 academic and industry experts in leading the adoption of object database technology. Through the contributions of experts and sponsors, ODBMS.ORG publishes free educational and research information specifically written for developers working with object-oriented programming languages.
"Progress ObjectStore Enterprise has long been a leading ODBMS solution, and Progress is pleased to support the ODBMS.ORG Educational Program," says Ken Rugg, Vice President, Data Management Products, Progress Software. "With the current resurgence in the use of object-oriented data management, particularly due to the increase in service-oriented business applications, the ODBMS.ORG portal will be a valuable resource for developers. Organizations who are looking to enhance application performance will find a wealth of information on object-oriented database use."
"We are delighted that GemStone has become a sponsor of ODBMS.ORG", explains Bob Walker, Director, Facets Technologies at GemStone Systems. "We feel that this portal is instrumental in creating a much needed increase in awareness of what Object Oriented Database technology has to offer in today's computing environment."
"The newest members to ODBMS.ORG contribute to making the portal a leading resource for object-oriented developers. With our members' support, ODBMS.ORG provides best practices and use cases for implementing object databases in a range of environments - from embedded databases like db4o to the largest server-centric solutions," explains Christof Wittig, CEO of db4objects and President of the non-profit ODBMS.ORG e.V. "Object databases have a solid place in today's computer science curriculum and in the IT industry. It is important that developers understand where relational technology falls short and where an object-oriented persistence approach fosters competitiveness and good software design."
ODBMS.ORG's expert panel has once again been expanded by three new members from academia and industry leaders:
In addition, current panel members have published recent papers including Dan Shusman's "Oscillating Between Objects and Relational: The Impedance Mismatch" as well as Ouri Wolfson's "DOMINO Project: Moving Objects Databases" at University of Illinois at Chicago. The DOMINO project further underlines the growing importance of object databases as embeddable, mobile databases for distributed persistence tasks.
One of ODBMS.ORG's initiatives is to encourage vendors to provide free and/or open source software versions of their object database products. In response, GemStone Systems has provided a free 90 day evaluation copy of GemStone Facets 32 bit for Linux and is working on an even more extended offering for academic purposes. In addition, Intersystems has released a free, non-expiring, single-user version of its Caché post-relational database.
Supporting the trend in open source object databases, EyeDB recently became another open source solution.
About ODBMS.ORG ODBMS.ORG (www.odbms.org) is a vendor-independent, not-for-profit educational program on object database technology and the integration between object-oriented programming and databases. Designed by Prof. Roberto Zicari of Frankfurt University, the program's goal is to promote and further the use of object databases - by offering free resources for students, faculty and researchers at universities and research centers, as well as for JAVA and .NET developers in the commercial and the open source world. Content is provided by a panel of internationally recognized experts, who share research articles and teaching materials with the community via the organization's Web portal.

American businesswoman and humanitarian and the wife of U.S. senator and two-time Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
Cindy Hensley was the only child of Marguerite Smith and James Hensley, who in 1955 founded Hensley & Co., a beer-distribution company. She studied education at the University of Southern California (B.A., 1976; M.A., 1978) before teaching special-needs students at a high school in Avondale, Ariz. While vacationing with her parents in Hawaii in 1979, she met John McCaina decorated veteran of the Vietnam War who was at that time the navy's chief liaison to the U.S. Senateand the two began a relationship. In early 1980 he filed for divorce from his first wife, Carol Shepp, and in May of that year he and Cindy married.
The couple moved to Arizona, where John began his political career. When he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1982, Cindy quit her teaching position and moved with him to Washington, D.C. In 1984, having suffered from a series of miscarriages and feeling alienated in Washington, she moved back to Arizona. In 1988 she founded the American Voluntary Medical Team (AVMT), a nonprofit organization that provided medical care to people in impoverished and war-ravaged countries throughout the world. Cindy herself led more than 50 excursions to deliver aid and supplies. In the late 1980s she became addicted to prescription painkillers, and in 1994 she publicly admitted to stealing medication from the AVMT. Through an agreement with federal prosecutors, she avoided jail time, and the AVMT ceased operating in 1995.
Cindy served as both the vice president and director of Hensley & Co. Upon the death of her father in 2000, she became chairman of the company, which by that time had become one of the largest and most profitable distributors of beer in the United States. That year she helped her husband campaign for the Republican presidential nomination; he was defeated in the primary by George W. Bush, then governor of Texas. After suffering a stroke in April 2004, she temporarily relocated to Coronado, Calif., to recover. Cindy supported her husband's second bid for the Republican presidential nomination, and she was instrumental in restructuring the campaign staff after financial difficulties threatened to end his run in the summer of 2007. John received the Republican nomination in September 2008, but he was defeated by Democratic candidate Barack Obama in the general election on November 4.
In the 1990s and 2000s, Cindy worked with numerous humanitarian groups, including the Hazardous Area Life-Support Organisation (HALO) Trust, a group dedicated to removing land mines and other potentially hazardous remnants of war; Operation Smile, a medical organization that helps repair facial deformities in children in developing countries; and CARE, which is committed to fighting poverty, particularly among women.

May 16, 2012It is fun for some moments, but the poor graphics and the bad controls does make this game mediocre. You hardly see an enemy , because the graphics are awful, and the controls are a big mess. The story is OK. Playing this game is like playing the classic Call of Duty, but in worse version.
May 31, 2011Horrendous. Stupidly short (it's so short I didn't even realize the game was over when it ended), muddy graphics and frustrating controls all drive this game down.
Also: no zombie mode! Why not, Activision? Was it too difficult to put in a co-op zombie mode on you're ridiculously bad PS2 port of World at War?
PS2 users deserve much better than this. -
Jun 11, 2013Well, I spent $2 on this game. Wasn't worth that, for sure. It's maybe 2 hours long, the voice acting and writing are both horrendous, and the graphics are sub-par for PS2 standards, even.
ChalexCJan 7, 2009
shailindermNov 6, 2009i give this game a 9 because it is not so hard unlike resident evil 4.you should realy buy this game if you like easy shooting games.its boring at first but then it gets bettr
MatthewDJul 30, 2009an outstanding game for ps2 big improvement from previous cods, bit disappointed about not having nazi zombies but don't care about no multiplayer as I don't do any multiplayer gameplay on ps2.
ChrisFAug 29, 2009I bought this game thinking it would be as good as other wartime games such as blackhawk down, but it is not even close. The graphics are solid, but no co-op campaign or for that matter even one vs. one mode totally ruined the game for me
The single-player campaign involves a riveting and emotional story, and the inclusion of co-op is fantastic. The game itself however is heavily weighted towards multiplayer, as was its predecessor.
A lack of online multiplayer or co-op and an overpowering sense that you've done all this before -- multiple times, in fact -- dilutes any of the impact that Final Fronts could have had.

Tristesse, Op.104 (Chaminade, Cécile)
Free public domain sheet music from IMSLP / Petrucci Music Library
It is unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (like China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright, it is almost certainly public domain in the USA as well. |

99 Silverado Suspension question
since this is for a stock Z71 i didnt think this was fit for the lifted suspension thread. My question though is that I need to replace the shocks in my stock 99 Silverado. It is 4wd with the z71 factory suspension. I dont really need a true off road shock as it sees more hwy miles than anything else but i do take a few roads less traveled every now and then. any sugestions
99 Silverado Ext Cab Z71 Third Door
All stock for now
03-12-2013, 05:12 PM #3For a long time Bilsteins were factory shocks for GM trucks and SUVs, but they recently got a better deal with Rancho. From experience the Bilsteines will run you about 70+ per shock. others are cheaper, but some lack quality. Just make sure you get what you have researched and found to be best for you and read reviews those are very important.

you can get cheaper shocks but I doubt they will last as long as these.

=== PGA Championship Final Round News & Notes === By Kevin Currie, Senior Golf Editor Rochester, NY (Sports Network) - Four-time champion Tiger Woods has played two PGA Championships at Oak Hill, and he has failed to break par in any of those eight rounds. Woods carded three birdies on the back nine Sunday to get back to even-par for his round and finish at 4-over 284 for the championship. As he stated afterwards, Woods had two good majors and two bad ones. He shared fourth at the Masters and sixth at the British Open. At Merion, Woods battled a sore elbow en route to a share of 32nd at the U.S. Open, and fought through a tight back on Sunday to end in a tie for 40th. "I put four good rounds (together) last week, unfortunately it wasn't this week. Didn't seem to hit it as good and didn't make many putts until the last few holes today," explained Woods. "But I didn't give myself many looks and certainly didn't hit the ball good enough to be in it." Woods doesn't think the back will be a problem going forward. "It's been tight all day. Just one of those things," he said. Now, it's off to the FedExCup Playoffs and the Presidents Cup for the top- ranked player in the world. TWO GOOD, TWO BAD MAJORS FOR MICKELSON Phil Mickelson opened and closed the major championship season with poor results, but it was will be his middle two finishes that will be remembered. Mickelson broke par only once at the Masters en route to a share of 54th. At the PGA Championship, Mickelson failed to break par in any round as he ended in a share of 72nd at 12-over par 292. At the other two major championships, Mickelson broke par in just three of eight rounds, but those were enough to give him first- and second-place finishes. Sunday at the PGA was typical Mickelson. He carded four birdies, to go with a bogey, a double-bogey and a triple-bogey for a final-round 72. "I didn't play very well the last two weeks. I'm not going to worry about it," Mickelson admitted. "I'm going to go home and take a few weeks off, get my short game sharp and start back up in four or five days for the FedExCup. I'm not going to worry too much about it." Mickelson, a five-time major champion, won't have his season defined by his record sixth runner-up finish at the U.S. Open. It will be his back-to-back wins at the Scottish and British Opens. Unless, he does something special in the FedExCup playoffs that is. * Miguel Angel Jimenez poured in five straight birdies from the 12th to the 16th en route to a 3-under 67. That was the second time this week that Jimenez birdied five in a row, as he also did it in the first round from the second to the sixth. The Spaniard ended at 2-over 282. * For the week, there were 12 eagles and 1,295 birdies. Both of those totals are greater than the amount of eagles and birdies at the 2003 PGA Championship at Oak Hill. * All four major winners -- Adam Scott, Justin Rose and Phil Mickelson -- came from behind in the final round. * With Dufner's come-from-behind win, only four of the last 20 54-hole leaders in the four majors have gone on to win -- McIlroy (2012 PGA), Darren Clarke (2011 British), McIlroy (2011 U.S. Open) and Louis Oosthuizen (2010 British). * The par-4 fifth played as the hardest hole on Sunday as it averaged 4.39 strokes. The par-4 17th had been most difficult the first three days, and was for the week. Players averaged 4.42 strokes for the week on No. 17. * The par-5 13th was shortened on Sunday, and in turn played as the easiest hole as players averaged 4.64 strokes there. The par-4 fourth turned out to be the simplest for the week as players averaged 4.78 shots on that hole. 08/11 20:47:31 ET |

How immigrants are redefining 'American' in Southern California
Quote of the moment: A Latina blogger's take on "anchor babies"
From a powerful and angry post on VivirLatino that is making the re-tweet rounds, the opinion of blogger Maegan "la Mamita Mala" Ortiz on the 14th Amendment/birthright citizenship/"anchor babies" discussion:
"...our wombs are worded as weapons of mass destruction and our beautiful babies as objects stuck into the earth to keep us here...this comes down to where ethnicity and gender meet. That now Latina mujer = anchor baby factory."

Sidney Crosby Could Totally Beat A Kid At Hockey *UPDATE*
If I had to start a team from scratch, and I only had the two players in this video to choose from...I'd probably end up picking Crosby. I mean, I would've taken him anyway, but then Sid just goes and dominates this kid right in his face. You got played, little one.
I'm totally confident that destroying a little kid's skills will be the experience Sid needs to finally push his game to the next level.
*UPDATE* Getting word through various emails/Facebooks/etc that the kid is Mario's son, Austin Lemieux. Your failure has let your father down, Austin :)

2012 season
Lingering Thoughts on the Seahawks' 2012 Season
I just got back from a weekend of skiing and finally feel like I can look back at the Seahawks' 2012 season without feeling too large a pang of disappointment. Sometimes it takes stepping away to gain some perspective. The only football I watched was the third quarter of the NFC Championship game and had to walk away because I saw two teams Seattle could certainly beat.
If someone had asked me nine months ago how I'd feel if Seattle were to go 11-5 with a playoff win on the road I would have taken it in a heartbeat. However, winning makes a person greedy and leaves them craving more. Once it was apparent all the talent and potential that John Schneider and Pete Carroll had stacked onto a roster that still had some significant weakness, I set my sight on an even further horizon. When Seattle wasn't able to reach it, it left the city in somewhat of a state of shock. Especially with the emotional whiplash that took place in the fourth quarter of the game in divisional game.
All cities are unified when their sports teams do well. It's one of the great things that sports teams bring to communities. I believe that Seattle is a little different from cities like Atlanta, New York, San Francisco, and Miami. Every team has their true fans, but Seattle itself seems to suffer when the Seahawks don't do well (everyone is used to the Mariners sucking). It's easy to lose sight of that when the team has a few rough years but is obvious when look at the incredibly civic pride and enthusiasm that takes place when the team succeeds. In that regard Seattle is like a Cleveland, Kansas City, or Green Bay. Labeling Seattle fans fair weather is ridiculous and ignorant. Fair weather fans don't cause seismic activity last time I checked.
The Seahawks over 2012 reminded Seattle why they stuck with a team that had been disparaged and struggled for the last six years. The team from South Alaska that was always too small, too hurt, too slow, too whatever became big, strong, loud, and a force unto themselves. Win or lose, a team was going to remember that they played Seattle last Sunday. Watching that and experiencing it with a great community of 12th Men made it that much hard to realize it was over. Even my dad who can be very jaded and reserved when it comes to sports (game 7 of the 1993 Western Conference finals between the Sonics and Suns is still very much remembered) couldn't help but get excited at what just might be.
The reason I bring up these seemingly random aspects of the 2012 season is because they are what stand out in my mind looking back. Seattle became a team that would walk up to anybody and punch them in the mouth. Led by a calm, cool, and incredibly talented quarterback a team comprised of many castoffs and unknowns turned into a wrecking ball and the 12th Man was the crane that swung it. The connection between the team and fans in Seattle can't be overstated. From completely open training camps to showing up at Children's Hospital every week the connection is real. That is what I love. I realize I'm not part of the team but to feel part of it is either the greatest marketing gimmick ever or a true community-franchise connection. I choose to believe it's the latter in this case. (Every article I write, I have to go and take out any "we's" and replace them with "Seahawks.")
Fortunately, Seattle doesn't have many free agents going into the off-season which means that many of the personalities and people that the make up this great team will be back. And they will be hungry; hungry to prove to themselves and the 12th Man that they are good enough to win a Super Bowl. For that, I am just as excited as I was this season.

This is a great time and a great pit guys, wide open low spot in a field with no trees, stumps, sticks or bottemless holes. Always a great time with great people and by the looks of things this will be the first time out for my 41 Ford. Looking forward to attending.

After the rain that is going through the state there should be mud now.
One thing every one should be aware of if you are not into the mud, their are trails that start within two miles of this site that run all the way through the woods back toward Baldwin, if you are up for a trail ride you could run the trails and stop in, and run them back toward baldwin, it's a good time, our family has run them with the jeep a few times, good fun.

IF glasses (aka spectacles)
Bear with me... no seriously don't leave. I'm sorry about the pun.
When I was hiking with some friends on the Inca trail in Peru we passed a warning sign with a bear on it. We asked our guide about the bears and he told us they were called spectacular bears.
This filled us with glee. How wonderful is that? And why or what makes it spectacular? Our imaginations filled in the blanks.
So it was with a grain of chagrin I found out it was actually called the spectacled bear – but let's be honest, in my heart he will always be spectacular.March 13, 2013

of Woven Wood
I've been away for a while but I haven't been idle! (my poor negleted blog xoxo... all better?) So what exactly have I been up to? well...
Last year I was one of the winners of the 'Illustrators of the Future' contest, and this April I was flown to LA for the award ceremony and book release. I got to meet lots of wonderfully talented people; my fellow illustrator winners: Paul Pederson, Carly Trowbridge, Hunter Bonyun, Mago Huang, Fiona Meng, Greg Opalinski, Jay Richards, John Haverty, Pat R Steiner, Rhiannon Taylor, and of course the judges who mentored us during the week: Val Lakey Lindahn, Ron Lindahn, Stephen Hickman, Cliff Neilsen, Robert Castillo, Stephan Martiniere... just to name a few.
The story I illustrated for the Anthology is called
'Of Woven Wood' by Marie Croke
I made a little animation from the image which can be seen here below. I hope to have a version with the intended soundtrack up as soon as I can secure the correct license to use the music.

day Twentyfive
To play the calendar through from day one or to leave a comment, see the post below
This interactive December calendar countdown to Christmas featuring Zoe and Dante is a work in progress and may not always be up in time or bug free, but if it's not working please check in later and hopefully we'll have sorted it out.
The advent calendar is part of a collaboration I'm doing with a fun gal from New York called Wei. Eventually it will be polished up to a rosy shine. But seeing as that may not be until spring, and melting snow tends to make Santa's festive attire smell of wet wool and cinnamon (a romantic notion in theory but a bit of a turnoff as you prance through the daffodils) I'm posting it now.
If your device doesn't support flash I've also included videos of each animation. To watch the video animations from older days please follow this link to 'A very Zoe and Dante Christmas' where I've collected them all for easier viewing.
And again to play the calendar through from day one, see the post below.

trees & clouds
I'm working on a little movie and I thought it might be fun to share some of the set components I've drawn so far. We've got your average fluffy clouds, snowy trees and some tree sweaters including birds. A small penguin paperclip snuck in while I was documenting the sets. He stems from a box of penguins I bought in Tokyo and is so cute I didn't have the heart to oust him.
October 30, 2011
and now, some penguins
I've been thinking of penguins lately, penguins in sweaters to be precise! It's almost become something of an obsession, as doodle after doodle features a flappy sea bird in a finely knit jumpers.
It all started with the call for knitters to aid the oil exposed penguins in New Zealand. And seriously, when you see a picture like this (link to image), tell me you don't feel the urge to draw handsome penguins too.So here is a little charmer getting a soapy scrub down as his friend is distracted by a suspicious scarf.
November rises and that means, it's Picture book idea month! YAY!
I loved participating last year and on top of a slurry of new ideas, I won the delightful book you see below donated by Jannie Ho. So again, YAY! Tomorrow I start the 2011 PiBoIdMo and I can't wait to see where it takes me.

my process
Hi everybody! I just got back from an inspiring visit to Montreal & New York, and I am more than ready to get back to the drawing board. *smiles* Just wait until I introduce you to Freckles the alligator!
But first, just before leaving on my trip I did an interview for InspirU Coo Coo and I've included below my answer to the question 'describe your illustration process'. For the full interview follow the link.
Hugs everybody. Good to be back, and I can't wait to go visit you all soon.
1 - I choose a theme
'scruffies': term I use for the comfy and by no means sexy clothes I wear when working in my home studio.
2 - Research and inspiration
3 - I draw a thumbnail sketch... here is an example of an actual thumbnail sketch and the respective final image
4 - I scan the thumbnail and enlarge it, then print it out and use it as a backbone for the detailed drawing on the light table.
5 - I figure out the perspective points (if relevant). I often tape multiple extensions to the image for the perspective points and use really long rulers.
6 - I draw the basic image in pencil
7 - I then ink the image
8 - Finally I fill in the texture. I sometimes scan the image and test different lighting gradients on my computer before applying them in ink.
My tools
However when I doodle, I just put pen to paper and try not to think too much.
Have a great day, and again you can find the rest of the interview here.

slightly speedy sketchbook peek...
speeded up flip through of my 2011 sketchbook project sketchbook
I've been busy as bees! This is great for me, not so much for my little blog. I've been doodling over at boy in a bear suit, but it's not the same. I thought I best idle the time here by sharing more of my 2011 sketchbook for the sketchbook project. It's a bit speeded up as it was too long. On the upside I kind of like the old super 8 feel where things go just a smidge too fast. Enjoy.

boy in a bear suit...
Hello Tuesday that feels like a Wednesday!
I don't have any big lovelies to share just yet but in my blogging absence/abstinence I started a doodle blog on the side.
Boy in a bear suit is a blog to host a little challenge I've set up for myself. The criteria are 'keep it simple' (i.e. just characters), 'post daily' and 'no bunnies' (sorry Zoe and Dante, I still love you!)
And do not fret Zoe and Dante will be sharing lots more adventures right here as usual!
April 17, 2011
A bunch of months ago I was visiting Tammie's blog and one of her delightful photos immediately caught my attention. I commented that I could see Zoe and Dante having an adventure in her landscape.
To my delight I got an email shortly after with the photo in question attached, giving me permission to borrow from it! I was flattered and thrilled! I started the image right away... but it just wasn't working out and in the end I put it aside.
Then as it so happens, this week's IF theme is journey, and I thought of that failed image. It was perfect. If only I could get it to work... I guess time gave me the distance to see it with fresh eyes, because now, after some tweaking (ok a lot of tweaking) I think I found my way.
April 12, 2011
undead toys 'too'
Or as the delightful Bella puts it: 'they are not undead, just misunderstood.'
I did a second version of the undead toys, just to see how it would look in a different setting. I think the bunnies pop more in this one, but there is a quality I like in the first one too. I'm glad I did both.
I've got some wonderful projects going on at the moment. One of which is a collaboration with a really talented friend on an animated short. I'll do some updates here as the project unfolds. Oh... and yes, it will contain my bunnies.
Sweet dreams, and don't let the undead toy keep you up... they just want to play.

Deb Roy's TED Talk: The Blossoming of a Speech Form
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
If you heard our show this week with psycholinguist Jean Berko Gleason, you heard a few excerpts from Deb Roy's speech at TED about "the birth of a word." The MIT researcher wired all of the rooms of his house with video cameras and microphones so that he could better understand how his son learned language. During three years, he captured 90,000 hours of video, 140,000 hours of audio totaling about 200 terabytes of data.
The social ramifications of this are incredible to think about, and the landscape of where we learn language and the events that create conversation that surfaces in our culture are equally mind-blowing. His research might inform not only how we learn but the values and influence of pivotal players in the development of our local and national conversations.
Here's the transcript to accompany Deb Roy's twenty-minute presentation:
"Imagine if you could record your life — everything you said, everything you did, available in a perfect memory store at your fingertips, so you could go back and find memorable moments and relive them,or sift through traces of time and discover patterns in your own life that previously had gone undiscovered. Well that's exactly the journey that my family began five and a half years ago. This is my wife and collaborator, Rupal. And on this day, at this moment, we walked into the house with our first child, our beautiful baby boy. And we walked into a house with a very special home video recording system.
(Video) Man: Okay.
Deb Roy: This moment and thousands of other moments special for us, were captured in our homebecause in every room in the house, if you looked up, you'd see a camera and a microphone, and if you looked down, you'd get this bird's-eye view of the room. Here's our living room, the baby bedroom,kitchen, dining room and the rest of the house. And all of these fed into a disc array that was designed for a continuous capture. So here we are flying through a day in our home as we move from sunlit morning through incandescent evening and, finally, lights out for the day. Over the course of three years,we recorded eight to 10 hours a day, amassing roughly a quarter-million hours of multi-track audio and video.
So you're looking at a piece of what is by far the largest home video collection ever made.(Laughter) And what this data represents for our family at a personal level, the impact has already been immense, and we're still learning its value.Countless moments of unsolicited natural moments, not posed moments, are captured there, and we're starting to learn how to discover them and find them.
But there's also a scientific reason that drove this project, which was to use this natural longitudinal data to understand the process of how a child learns language — that child being my son. And so with many privacy provisions put in place to protect everyone who was recorded in the data, we made elements of the data available to my trusted research team at MIT so we could start teasing apart patterns in this massive data set, trying to understand the influence of social environments on language acquisition. So we're looking here at one of the first things we started to do. This is my wife and I cooking breakfast in the kitchen. And as we move through space and through time, a very everyday pattern of life in the kitchen.
In order to convert this opaque, 90,000 hours of video into something that we could start to see, we use motion analysis to pull out, as we move through space and through time, what we call space-time worms. And this has become part of our toolkit for being able to look and see where the activities are in the data, and with it, trace the pattern of, in particular, where my son moved throughout the home, so that we could focus our transcription efforts, all of the speech environment around my son — all of the words that he heard from myself, my wife, our nanny, and over time, the words he began to produce. So with that technology and that dataand the ability to, with machine assistance,transcribe speech, we've now transcribed well over seven million words of our home transcripts. And with that, let me take you now for a first tour into the data.
So you've all, I'm sure, seen time-lapse videoswhere a flower will blossom as you accelerate time.I'd like you to now experience the blossoming of a speech form. My son, soon after his first birthday,would say "gaga" to mean water. And over the course of the next half-year, he slowly learned to approximate the proper adult form, "water." So we're going to cruise through half a year in about 40 seconds. No video here, so you can focus on the sound, the acoustics, of a new kind of trajectory:gaga to water.
(Audio) Baby: Gagagagagaga Gaga gaga gagaguga guga guga wada gaga gaga guga gagawader guga guga water water water water water water water water water.
DR: He sure nailed it, didn't he.
So he didn't just learn water. Over the course of the 24 months, the first two years, that we really focused on, this is a map of every word he learned in chronological order. And because we have full transcripts, we've identified each of the 503 wordsthat he learned to produce by his second birthday.He was an early talker. And so we started to analyze why. Why were certain words born before others? This is one of the first results that came out of our study a little over a year ago that really surprised us. The way to interpret this apparently simple graph is on the vertical is an indication of how complex caregiver utterances are based on the length of utterances. And the vertical axis is time.
And all of the data, we aligned based on the following idea: Every time my son would learn a word, we would trace back and look at all of the language he heard that contained that word. And we would plot the relative length of the utterances.And what we found was this curious phenomena,that caregiver speech would systematically dip to a minimum, making language as simple as possible,and then slowly ascend back up in complexity. And the amazing thing was that bounce, that dip, lined up almost precisely with when each word was born — word after word, systematically. So it appears that all three primary caregivers — myself, my wife and our nanny — were systematically and, I would think, subconsciously restructuring our language to meet him at the birth of a word and bring him gently into more complex language. And the implications of this — there are many, but one I just want to point out, is that there must be amazing feedback loops.Of course, my son is learning from his linguistic environment, but the environment is learning from him. That environment, people, are in these tight feedback loops and creating a kind of scaffoldingthat has not been noticed until now.
But that's looking at the speech context. What about the visual context? We're not looking at — think of this as a dollhouse cutaway of our house. We've taken those circular fish-eye lens cameras, and we've done some optical correction, and then we can bring it into three-dimensional life. So welcome to my home. This is a moment, one moment captured across multiple cameras. The reason we did this is to create the ultimate memory machine,where you can go back and interactively fly aroundand then breathe video life into this system. What I'm going to do is give you an accelerated view of 30 minutes, again, of just life in the living room.That's me and my son on the floor. And there's video analytics that are tracking our movements. My son is leaving red ink, I am leaving green ink. We're now on the couch, looking out through the window at cars passing by. And finally, my son playing in a walking toy by himself.
Now we freeze the action, 30 minutes, we turn time into the vertical axis, and we open up for a view of these interaction traces we've just left behind. And we see these amazing structures — these little knots of two colors of thread we call social hot spots. The spiral thread we call a solo hot spot. And we think that these affect the way language is learned. What we'd like to do is start understanding the interaction between these patterns and the language that my son is exposed to to see if we can predict how the structure of when words are heard affects when they're learned — so in other words, the relationshipbetween words and what they're about in the world.
So here's how we're approaching this. In this video,again, my son is being traced out. He's leaving red ink behind. And there's our nanny by the door.
(Video) Nanny: You want water? (Baby: Aaaa.)Nanny: All right. (Baby: Aaaa.)
DR: She offers water, and off go the two worms over to the kitchen to get water. And what we've done is use the word "water" to tag that moment, that bit of activity. And now we take the power of data and take every time my son ever heard the word waterand the context he saw it in, and we use it to penetrate through the video and find every activity trace that co-occurred with an instance of water.And what this data leaves in its wake is a landscape. We call these wordscapes. This is the wordscape for the word water, and you can see most of the action is in the kitchen. That's where those big peaks are over to the left. And just for contrast, we can do this with any word. We can take the word "bye" as in "good bye." And we're now zoomed in over the entrance to the house. And we look, and we find, as you would expect, a contrast in the landscape where the word "bye" occurs much more in a structured way. So we're using these structures to start predicting the order of language acquisition, and that's ongoing work now.
In my lab, which we're peering into now, at MIT —this is at the media lab. This has become my favorite way of videographing just about any space.Three of the key people in this project, Philip DeCamp, Rony Kubat and Brandon Roy are pictured here. Philip has been a close collaboratoron all the visualizations you're seeing. And Michael Fleischman was another Ph.D. student in my labwho worked with me on this home video analysis,and he made the following observation: that "just the way that we're analyzing how language connects to events which provide common ground for language, that same idea we can take out of your home, Deb, and we can apply it to the world of public media." And so our effort took an unexpected turn.
Think of mass media as providing common groundand you have the recipe for taking this idea to a whole new place. We've started analyzing television content using the same principles —analyzing event structure of a TV signal — episodes of shows, commercials, all of the components that make up the event structure. And we're now, with satellite dishes, pulling and analyzing a good part of all the TV being watched in the United States.And you don't have to now go and instrument living rooms with microphones to get people's conversations, you just tune into publicly available social media feeds.
So we're pulling in about three billion comments a month. And then the magic happens. You have the event structure, the common ground that the words are about, coming out of the television feeds; you've got the conversations that are about those topics;and through semantic analysis — and this is actually real data you're looking at from our data processing — each yellow line is showing a link being madebetween a comment in the wild and a piece of event structure coming out of the television signal. And the same idea now can be built up. And we get this wordscape, except now words are not assembled in my living room. Instead, the context, the common ground activities, are the content on television that's driving the conversations. And what we're seeing here, these skyscrapers now, are commentary that are linked to content on television. Same concept,but looking at communication dynamics in a very different sphere.
And so fundamentally, rather than, for example,measuring content based on how many people are watching, this gives us the basic data for looking at engagement properties of content. And just like we can look at feedback cycles and dynamics in a family, we can now open up the same concepts and look at much larger groups of people. This is a subset of data from our database — just 50,000 out of several million — and the social graph that connects them through publicly available sources.And if you put them on one plain, a second plain is where the content lives. So we have the programsand the sporting events and the commercials, and all of the link structures that tie them together make a content graph. And then the important third dimension. Each of the links that you're seeing rendered here is an actual connection madebetween something someone said and a piece of content. And there are, again, now tens of millions of these links that give us the connective tissue of social graphs and how they relate to content. And we can now start to probe the structure in interesting ways.
So if we, for example, trace the path of one piece of content that drives someone to comment on it, and then we follow where that comment goes, and then look at the entire social graph that becomes activated and then trace back to see the relationship between that social graph and content,a very interesting structure becomes visible. We call this a co-viewing clique, a virtual living room if you will. And there are fascinating dynamics at play. It's not one way. A piece of content, an event, causes someone to talk. They talk to other people. That drives tune-in behavior back into mass media, and you have these cycles that drive the overall behavior.
Another example — very different — another actual person in our database — and we're finding at least hundreds, if not thousands, of these. We've given this person a name. This is a pro-amateur, or pro-am, media critic who has this high fan-out rate. So a lot of people are following this person — very influential — and they have a propensity to talk about what's on TV. So this person is a key link in connecting mass media and social media together.
One last example from this data: Sometimes it's actually a piece of content that is special. So if we go and look at this piece of content, President Obama's State of the Union address from just a few weeks ago, and look at what we find in this same data set, at the same scale, the engagement properties of this piece of content are truly remarkable. A nation exploding in conversation in real time in response to what's on the broadcast.And of course, through all of these lines are flowing unstructured language. We can X-ray and get a real-time pulse of a nation, real-time sense of the social reactions in the different circuits in the social graph being activated by content.
So, to summarize, the idea is this: As our world becomes increasingly instrumented and we have the capabilities to collect and connect the dotsbetween what people are saying and the context they're saying it in, what's emerging is an ability to see new social structures and dynamics that have previously not been seen. It's like building a microscope or telescope and revealing new structures about our own behavior around communication. And I think the implications here are profound, whether it's for science, for commerce, for government, or perhaps most of all,for us as individuals.
And so just to return to my son, when I was preparing this talk, he was looking over my shoulder, and I showed him the clips I was going to show to you today, and I asked him for permission — granted. And then I went on to reflect, "Isn't it amazing, this entire database, all these recordings,I'm going to hand off to you and to your sister," who arrived two years later. "And you guys are going to be able to go back and re-experience moments that you could never, with your biological memory,possibly remember the way you can now." And he was quiet for a moment. And I thought, "What am I thinking? He's five years old. He's not going to understand this." And just as I was having that thought, he looked up at me and said, "So that when I grow up, I can show this to my kids?" And I thought, "Wow, this is powerful stuff."
So I want to leave you with one last memorable moment from our family. This is the first time our sontook more than two steps at once — captured on film. And I really want you to focus on something as I take you through. It's a cluttered environment; it's natural life. My mother's in the kitchen, cooking,and, of all places, in the hallway, I realize he's about to do it, about to take more than two steps. And so you hear me encouraging him, realizing what's happening, and then the magic happens. Listen very carefully. About three steps in, he realizes something magic is happening. And the most amazing feedback loop of all kicks in, and he takes a breath in, and he whispers "wow" and instinctively I echo back the same. And so let's fly back in time to that memorable moment.
(Video) DR: Hey. Come here. Can you do it? Oh, boy. Can you do it? Baby: Yeah. DR: Ma, he's walking.
DR: Thank you.

I have a new issue that started aroundthe time of the 10.1.1 update.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Kodak OfficeHero 6.1
Acrobat X was working just fine at one time.
About the time the 10.1.1 update was installed, I am no longer able to scan from the create -> from scanner menu. I get an error message that acrobat could not communicate with the scanner. The OfficeHero is connected over a network. All other programs can scan just fine including Paint, and the native Kodak home center software.
I have done all the uninstall and re-install options.
I even tried the config of a different computer that is working. Above 9.5 works on that comptuer just fine so I uninstalled x and installed 9.5 same error message. So there is something on this one computer that is a problem.
Kodak tech support says that it looks like Acrobat cant access the twain drivers.
Adobe support said it was a network permissions issue (even though other programs scan just fine.)
Any other ideas out there?
