[0001] This application claims the benefit from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/266,010 filed Feb. 2, 2001 whose contents are incorporated herein for all purposes.
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] The present invention relates to the processing of movie or video material, more specifically to the manual, semi-automatic, or automatic annotation of thematically-based events and sequences within the material.
[0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0005] As initially conceived, movies and television programs were intended to be viewed as linear, sequential time experiences, that is, they ran from beginning to end, in accordance to the intent of the creator of the piece and at the pacing determined during the editing of the work. However, under some circumstances a viewer may wish to avoid a linear viewing experience. For example, the viewer may wish only a synopsis of the work, or may wish to browse, index, search, or catalog all or a portion of a work.
[0006] With the advent of recording devices and personal entertainment systems, control over pacing and presentation order fell more and more to the viewer. The video cassette recorder (VCR) provided primitive functionality including pause, rewind, fast forward and fast reverse, thus enabling simple control over the flow of time in the experience of the work. However, the level of control was necessarily crude and limited. With the advent of laser discs, the level of control moved to frame-accurate cuing, thus increasing the flexibility of the viewing experience. However, no simple indexing scheme was available to permit the viewer to locate and view only specific segments of the video on demand.
[0007] Modern computer technology has enabled storage of and random access to digitized film and video sources. The DVD has brought compressed digitized movies into the hands of the viewer, and has provided a simple level of access, namely chapter-based browsing and viewing.
[0008] Standard movie and film editing technology is based on the notion of a 'shot', which is defined as a single series of images which constitutes an entity within the story line of the work. Shots are by definition non-overlapping, contiguous elements. A 'scene' is made up of one or more shots, and a complete movie or video work comprises a plurality of scenes.
[0009] Video analysis for database indexing, archiving and retrieval has also advanced in recent years. Algorithms and systems have been developed for automatic scene analysis, including feature recognition; motion detection; fade, cut, and dissolve detection; and voice recognition. However, these analysis tools are based upon the notion of a shot or sequence, one of a series of non-overlapping series of images that form the second level constituents of a work, just above the single frame. For display and analysis purposes, a work is often depicted as a tree structure, wherein the work is subdivided into discrete sequences, each of which may be further subdivided. Each sequence at the leaf positions of such a tree is disjoint from all other leaf nodes. When working interactively with such a structure, each node may be represented by a representative frame from the sequence, and algorithms exist for automatically extracting key frames from a sequence.
[0010] Whereas this method of analyzing, annotating and depicting a film or video work is useful, it exhibits a fundamental limitation inherent in the definition of a 'shot'. Suppose for a moment that a shot consisted of a single frame. If more than one object appears in that frame, then the frame can be thought of as having at least two thematic elements, but the content of the shot is limited to a singular descriptor. This limitation may be avoided by creating a multiplicity of shots, each of which contains a unique combination of objects or thematic elements, then giving each a unique descriptor. However, such an approach becomes completely intractable for all but the most degenerate plot structures.
[0011] The intricate interplay between content and themes has long been recognized in written literature, and automated and semi-automated algorithms and systems have appeared to perform thematic analysis and classification of audible or machine-readable text. A single chapter, paragraph or sentence may advance or contribute multiple themes, so often no clear distinction or relationship can be inferred or defined between specific subdivisions of the text and overlying themes or motifs of the work. Themes supercede the syntactic subdivisions of the text, and must be described and annotated as often-concurrent parallel elements that are elucidated throughout the text.
[0012] Some elements of prior art have attempted to perform this type of analysis on video sequences. Abecassis, in a series of patents, perfected the notion of 'categories' as a method of analysis, and described the use of "video content preferences" which refer to "preestablished and clearly defined preferences as to the manner or form (e.g. explicitness) in which a story/game is presented, and the absence of undesirable matter (e.g. profanity) in the story/game" (U.S. Pat. No. 5,434,678; see also U.S. Pat. No. 5,589,945, U.S. Pat. No. 5,664,046, U.S. Pat. No. 5,684,918, U.S. Pat. No. 5,696,869, U.S. Pat. No. 5,724,472, U.S. Pat. No. 5,987,211, U.S. Pat. No. 6,011,895, U.S. 6,067,401, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,072,934.) Abecassis further extends the notion of "video content preferences" to include "types of programs/games (e.g. interactive video detective games), or broad subject matter (e.g. mysteries)." Inherent in Abecassis' art is the notion that the content categories can be defined exclusive of the thematic content of the film or video, and that a viewer can predefine a series of choices along these predefined categories with which to filter the content of the work. Abecassis does not take into account the plot or thematic elements that make up the work, but rather focuses on the manner or form in which these elements are presented.
[0013] In a more comprehensive approach to the subject, Benson et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 5,574,845) describe a system for describing and viewing video data based upon models of the video sequence, including time, space, object and event, the event model being most similar to the subject of the current disclosure. In '845, the event model is defined as a sequence of possibly-overlapping episodes, each of which is characterized by elements from time and space models which also describe the video, and objects from the object model of the video. However, this description of the video is a strictly structural one, in that the models of the video developed in '845 do not take into account the syntactic, semantic, or semiotic content or significance of the 'events' depicted in the video. In a similar way, Benson et al. permit overlapping events, but this overlap is strictly of the form "Event A contains one or more of Event B", whereas thematic segmentation can and will produce overlapping segments in all general relationships.
[0014] The automatic assignment of thematic significance to video segments is beyond the capability of current computer systems. Methods exist in the art for detecting scene cuts, fades and dissolves; for detecting and analyzing camera and object motion in video sequences; for detecting and tracking objects in a series of images; for detecting and reading text within images; and for making sophisticated analyses and transformations of video images. However, the assignment of contextual meaning to any of this data must presently be done, or at least be augmented, by the intervention of an expert who groups simpler elements of analysis like key frames and shots, and assigns meaning and significance to them in terms of the themes or concepts which the work exposits.
[0015] What is required is a method of thematically analyzing and annotating the linear time sequence of a film or video work, where thematic elements can exist in parallel with one another, and where the occurrence of one thematic element can overlap the occurrence of another thematic element.
[0016] This disclosure describes a method and system for creating an annotated analysis of the thematic content of a film or video work. The annotations may refer to single frames, or to sequences of consecutive frames. The sequences of frames for a given theme may overlap with one or more single frame or sequence of frames from one or more other themes in the work.
[0017]FIG. 1 illustrates a video sequence timeline with annotations appended according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
[0018]FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the video sequence timeline of FIG. 1 with the sequence expressed as a linear sequence of frames.
[0019]FIG. 3 is a schematic view of one frame of the video sequence of FIG. 2.
[0020]FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a magnified view of the portion of the frame of FIG. 3.
[0021]FIG. 5 is a flow diagram illustrating the preferred method for retrieving and displaying a desired video sequence from compressed video data.
[0022]FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of nested menus from a graphic user interface according to the invention to enable selection of appropriate video segments from the entire video sequence by the user of the system.
[0023] The high level description of the current invention refers to the timeline description of a video sequence 10, which is shown schematically in FIG. 1. Any series of video images may be labeled with annotations that designate scenes 12 a-12 e, scene boundaries 14 a-14 d (shown by the dotted lines), key frames, presence of objects or persons, and other similar structural, logical, functional, or thematic descriptions. Here, objective elements such as the appearance of two characters (Jimmy and Jane) within the video frame and their participation within a dance number are shown as blocks which are associated with certain portions of the video sequence 10.
[0024] The dashed lines linking the blocks serve to highlight the association between pairs of events, which might be assigned thematic significance. In this short example, Jimmy enters the field of view at the beginning of a scene in block 16. Later in the same scene, Jane enters in block 18. A scene change 14 b occurs, but Jimmy and Jane are still in view. They begin to dance together starting from block 20, and dance for a short period until block 22. After a brief interval, the scene changes again at 14 c, and shortly thereafter Jimmy leaves the camera's view in block 24. Some time later the scene changes again at 14 d, and Jane has now left the camera's view in block 26.
[0025]FIG. 1 demonstrates the potentially overlapping nature of thematic elements, their disjuncture from simple scene boundaries 141-14 d, and the necessary overlay of meaning and significance on the mere 'events' that is required for thematic analysis. The expert who performs the analysis will address questions such as, "How is the dance number in this portion of the work related to other actions, objects, and persons in other portions of the work?" From a series of such questions, annotations are created which engender contextual and analytical meaning to individual frames and series of frames within the video.
[0026] The processing of generating annotations for a film or video work proceeds as follows. If the work is compressed, as for example using MPEG-2 compression, it is decompressed. An example of a compressed portion of a video sequence is shown in FIG. 2. The sequence shown is comprised of a series of frames that are intended to be shown sequentially on a timeline. Standard video is shot at thirty frames per second and, at least in the case of compressed video such as MPEG-2, includes approximately two base frames ("I-frames") per second of video shot to form two sets of fifteen frame Group-of-Picture (GOP) segments. The MPEG-2 standard operates to compress video data by storing changes in subsequent frames from previous frames. Thus, one would normally be unable to completely and accurately decompress a random frame using the MPEG-2 standard without knowing the context of surrounding frames. Base frames, such as base frames B1 and C1, are complete in and of themselves and thus can be decompressed without referring to previous frames. Each base frame is associated with subsequent regular frames—for instance, frame B1 is related to frames B2-B15 to present a complete half-second of video.
[0027] Once decompressed, the expert viewer of the list or user of the interactive tool then can view, create, edit, annotate, or delete these attributes assigned to certain frames of the video. In addition, higher-level attributes can be added to the annotation list. Each such thematic attribute receives a text label, which describes the content of the attribute. As thematic attributes are created and labeled, they are assigned to classes or sets, each of which represents one on-going analytical feature of the work. For example, each appearance of a particular actor may be labeled and assigned to the plotline involving the actor. Additionally, a subset of those appearances may be grouped together into a different thematic set, as representative of the development of a particular idea or motif in the work. Appearances of multiple actors may be grouped, and combined with objects seen within the work. The combinations of attributes which can be created are limited only by the skill, imagination and understanding of the expert performing the annotation.
[0028] Automatic or semi-automatic analysis tools might be used to determine first level attributes of the film, such as scene boundaries 14; the presence of actors, either generally or by specific identity; the presence of specific objects; the occurrence of decipherable text in the video images; zoom or pan camera movements; motion analysis; or other algorithmically-derivable attributes of the video images. These attributes are then presented for visual inspection, either by means of a list of the attributes, or preferentially by means of an interactive computer tool that shows various types and levels of attributes, possibly along with a timeline of the video and with key frames associated with the corresponding attribute annotations.
[0029] The annotations form a metadata description of the content of the work. As with other metadata like the Dublin Core (http://purl.org/dc), these metadata can be stored separate from the work itself, and utilized in isolation from or in combination with the work. The metadata annotation of the work might be utilized by an interactive viewing system that can present the viewer with alternative choices of viewing the work.
[0030] The annotation metadata takes two forms. The low-level annotation consists of a type indicator, start time, duration or stop time, and a pointer to a label string. The type indicator may refer to a person, event, object, text, or other similar structural element. The start and stop times may be given in absolute terms using the timing labels of the original work, or in relative values from the beginning of the work, or any other convenient reference point. Labeling is done by indirection to facilitate the production of alternative-language versions of the metadata.
[0031] In the preferred implementation, the work is compressed using the MPEG-2 video compression standard after the annotation work is completed, and care is taken to align Group-of-Picture (GOP) segments with significant key frames in the annotation, to facilitate the search and display process. Preferentially, each key frame is encoded as an MPEG I-frame, which maybe at the beginning of a GOP (as in frame B1 and C1 in FIG. 2), so that the key frame can be searched to and displayed efficiently when the metadata is being used for viewing or scanning the work. In this case, the compression processing necessitates an additional step required to connect frame time with file position within the video sequence data stream. The nature of the MPEG-2 compression standard is such that elapsed time in a work is not linearly related to file position within the resulting data stream. Thus, an index must be created to convert between frame time, which is typically given in SMPTE time code format 'hh:mm:ss:ff' 34 (FIG. 4), with stream position, which is a byte/bit offset into the raw data stream. This index may be utilized by converting the annotation start time values to stream offsets, or by maintaining a separate temporal index that relates SMPTE start time to offset.
[0032] The second-level thematic annotations utilize the first-level structural annotations. Each thematic annotation consists of a type indicator, a pointer to a label, and a pointer to the first of a linked list of elements, each of which is a reference to either a first-level annotation, or another thematic annotation. The type indicators can either be generic, such as action sequence, dance number, or song; or be specific to the particular work, such as actor- or actress-specific, or a particular plot thread. All thematic indicators within a given work are unique. The element references may be by element type and start time, or by direct positional reference within the metadata file itself.
[0033] Every frame of the work must appear in at least one thematic element. This permits the viewer to select all themes, and view the entire work.
[0034] The second-level thematic annotations may be organized into a hierarchy. This hierarchy may be inferred from the relationships among the annotations themselves, or indicated directly by means of a number or labeling scheme. For example, annotations with type indicators within a certain range might represent parent elements to those annotations within another certain range, and so forth. Such a hierarchy of structure is created during the generation of the annotation data, and is used during the display of the metadata or the underlying work.
[0035] The metadata are stored in a structured file, which may itself be compressed by any of a number of standard technologies to make storage and transmission more efficient.
[0036] The time representation may be in fractional seconds or by other means, rather than SMPTE frame times.
[0037]FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrates the data structure within a sample frame such as frame B7. The frame B7 includes a header 28, a data portion 30, and a footer 32. The data portion 30 includes the video data used (in conjunction with data derived from previous decompressed frames) to display the frame and all the objects presented within it. The header 28 uniquely identifies the frame by including a timecode portion 34, which sets forth the absolute time of play within the video sequence and the frame number. The header 28 also includes an offset portion 36 that identifies in bytes the location of the closest previous I-frame B1 so that the base frame can be consulted by the decoder and the identified frame B7 subsequently accurately decompressed.
[0038] The decoding procedure operates as shown in flow diagram of FIG. 5. The user is presented with a choice of themes or events within the video sequence. As shown in FIG. 6, for instance, the user may select the desired portion of the video by first moving through a series of graphic user interface menu lists displayed on the video monitor on which the user is to view the video. A theme list is presented in menu display 40 comprised of, for instance, the themes of romance, conflict, and travel—each identified and selectable by navigating between labeled buttons 42 a, 42 b, and 42 c, respectively. The selected theme will include a playlist, stored in memory, associated with that theme. Here, the 'romance' theme is selected by activating button 42 a and playlist submenu 46 is displayed to the user. The playlist submenu 46 lists the video segment groupings associated with the theme selected in menu 40. Here, the playlist for romance includes the following permutations: 'man#1 with woman#1' at labeled button 48 a, 'man#2 with woman#1' at labeled button 48 b, and 'man#1 with woman #2' at button 48 c. Further selection of a playlist, such as selection of playlist 48 b, yields the presentation to the user of a segment list in segment submenu 50. The segment submenu 50 has listed thereon a plurality of segments 52 a, 52 b, and 52 c appropriate to the theme and playlist.
[0039] Creating the annotation list occurs in reverse, where the video technical creating the annotative metadata selects segments of the video sequence being annotated—each segment including a begin and end frame—and associates an annotation with that segment. Object annotations can be automatically derived, such as by a character recognition program or other known means, or manually input after thematic analysis of the underlying events and context of the video segment to the entire work. Annotations can be grouped in nested menu structures, such as shown in FIG. 6, to ease the selection and placement of annotated video segments within the playback tree structure.
[0040] The selected segment in FIG. 6, here segment 52 b showing the first date between man#2 and woman#1 under the romance theme, begins at some start time and ends at some end time which are associated with a particular portion of the video sequence from a particular start frame to an end frame. In the flow diagram shown in FIG. 5, the start frame for the selected video segment is identified in block 60 by consulting the lookup table; and the base frame location derived from it in block 62 as by reading the offset existing in the start frame. The decoder then starts decoding from the identified base frame in block 64 but only starts displaying the segment from the start frame in block 66. The display of the segment is ended in block 68 when the frame having the appropriate timecode 34 is decoded and displayed.
[0041] Referring back to FIG. 2, for instance, supposing a short (e.g. half second) segment is selected for view by the user, the system looks up the location of the frames associated with the segment within a table. In this case, the segment starts with frame B4 and ends with segment C6. The decoder reads the offset of frame B4 to identify the base I-frame B1 and begins decoding from that point. The display system, however, does not display any frame until B4 and stops at frame C6. Play of the segment is then complete and the user is prompted to select another segment for play by the user interface shown in FIG. 6.
[0042] These concepts can be extended to nonlinear time sequences, such as multimedia presentations, where at least some portion of the presentation consists of linear material. This applies also to audio streams, video previews, advertising segments, animation sequences, stepwise transactions, or any process that requires a temporally sequential series of events that may be classified on a thematic basis.
[0043] Having described and illustrated the principles of the invention in a preferred embodiment thereof, it should be apparent that the invention can be modified in arrangement and detail without departing from such principles. We claim all modifications and variation coming within the spirit and scope of the following claims.

Save Money With Forces Of Nature Discounts And Coupon Codes
I highly suggest using these forces of nature coupon codes to save some dollars. Forces Of Nature is one of the best places to get organic medicine. They have a lot of them. It is very hard to get an Organic certified product in the United States because the items must be cultivated or grown in a certain way before it can be considered organic. The use of chemicals, antibiotics, certain fertilizers and other harmful substances are prohibited. So it is definitely harder to create a big harvest compared to standard methods. However, Forces Of Nature has done it and continue to do so.
These Forces Of Nature coupon codes are easy to use. If you are suffering from a body disorder or ailment, I suggest getting some items in Forces Of Nature because they are very effective. Of course, you should talk to your Doctor first before using one of their products. Nothing can beat the advice of a Doctor when it comes to personal health problems. However, if your Doctor recommends organic medicine then this web store has a lot of them. You can choose from various products and items. You can be sure that they are going to be organic.
If you use these Forces Of Nature coupons, you may be able to get a good deal on your order. Saving money is very important. It does not matter if we are buying organic medicine, medicine in general or any type of item for that matter. It is because we all need money to buy important things and non-important items. We only have such a short supply of cash so we better make use of them very wisely. It is for this reason that I highly recommend for people to use Forces Of Nature promo codes.
Forces Of Nature Coupon Codes And Discounts
Forces of Nature offers the only line of Over-the-Counter Organic Medicine that is both USDA Certified Organic and an FDA Registered homeopathic drug. Take advantage of the popularity of our products and the booming Organic Medicine market.

Author, Megan Bryant, Shares Insights with Elementary Education Majors
November 17, 2014 – Megan Bryant, prolific children and young adult author, came to High Point University to share insights into her life as a writer with the elementary teacher candidates. Dr. Debbie Linville partnered with BookMarks Authors in Schools & Community to bring Mrs. Bryant to campus to afford seniors and graduate students presently enrolled in the Process Writing methods course the opportunity to hear firsthand what it is like to live a "writerly" life.
Mrs. Bryant discussed the importance of reading, honing keen observation skills, and making the commitment to write every day if you choose to make writing a career. She shared about her lack of confidence as a writer in the early years, her writing habits and struggles, strategies to overcome writer's block, and the exhilaration that stems from knowing you have given your best effort for the reading enjoyment of others.
Megan surprised and delighted the audience by reading two chapters from her newest young adult novel manuscript, Glow, recently submitted to the publisher. The novel centers on the little known Radium Girls; female factory workers who painted radioactive radium on the watch dials to make them glow in the dark. To hear Megan talk about painting her fingernails different colors to help her get into character, listening to music from WWI, and having the ticking of a radium pocket watch (a gift from her husband) sitting by her side as she typed out her ideas on the computer keys gave teacher candidates a window seat on what it means to live the "writerly" life.
Elementary Majors Participate in "Book and a Blanket" Project
November 2014 – Through the generosity of the Walmart Foundation, High Point University Elementary Education majors were afforded the opportunity to promote the joy of reading to the entire student body at Kirkman Park Elementary School; Pre-K-5th grade. Debbie Albert, instructor of the Children's Literature course, applied for the grant in hopes she and her students would have an opportunity to spread the joy of reading. The project, entitled "A Book and a Blanket" provided a book and a blanket for each child in the school so each one might experience the joy and comfort realized from curling up with their own book and blanket.
The Elementary majors visited each classroom to share a read-aloud of a recently published children's book, encouraged children as readers, and then gifted each child with their own book and blanket to take home. Mrs. Albert notes that we must first model for children the joy of reading if we are expecting to grow proficient readers. "If children do not experience the joy and purpose of reading, the many tasks for which we labor over in the classrooms each day will be a futile attempt in the goal of creating proficient, lifelong readers."
Education Seniors Host Family Literacy Night
October 2014 – High Point University seniors hosted a Literacy Night October 29 for the families and students at Florence Elementary. Over 100 families participated in the event! The High Point University elementary teacher candidates planned and executed many and varied hands-on, minds-on literacy station activities that allowed children and their families to experience the joy of reading and writing. By providing engaging ideas that parents can recreate at home, HPU pre-service teachers played an active role in promoting the school-home connection and supporting the literacy development of elementary children.
Family Literacy Night
November 2013 – High Point University seniors hosted a Literacy Night November 4 for the families and students at Montlieu Academy of Technology. Over 100 families participated in the event!
The HPU elementary education majors worked as partners creating a literacy themed station for elementary students to visit with their parents. Activities ranged from applying reading comprehension strategies to writing to create new characters. One station invited parents, Montlieu students and siblings to examine how the genre of historical fiction can be used as an engaging resource to learn about American History.
The impact of literacy night reaches far beyond the one evening in November. The Montlieu students and parents have literacy strategies they can apply year round at home and in school. Our HPU seniors even donated their literacy station resources to the teachers of Montlieu Academy of Technology for them to use in their classrooms.
Book Buddies
Teacher education elementary majors in the School of Education at High Point University have the opportunity to participate in a weekly Book Buddy program with children at two area partner schools – Montlieu Academy of Technology and Florence Elementary. Over the years, the partnerships have developed and grown to include additional literacy experiences for the pre-service teachers and the children, teachers, and families at the elementary schools.
Literacy Support Group
Research is clear…mentoring is a beneficial practice toward nurturing continued learning, promoting empowerment, growing teaching excellence, and fostering leadership in the educational arena. In an effort to provide a professional space where M.Ed. (Elementary, Literacy Concentration) graduates of High Point University can continue to build capacity to enhance literacy teaching and learning, Dr. Debbie Linville initiated a Literacy Support Group in the Fall, 2013. The group meets regularly and has established its own blog.
Literacy Outreach Project
The High Point University cohort of the North Carolina Association of Elementary Educators chose Florence Elementary to be this year's recipient of the first annual Outreach Project.

Gundam 00 music, nice!!! Trans-AM Raiser iirc, also very nice movie!!
Update time again, Texture upgrades, texture techniques, rigging, animations and more!.
Posted by Moodydave on Jul 31st, 2010
Hello once again everyone,
I know its been a while since my last update, things have really gotten crazy around here,but there is a lot of good news,whilst doing work on Limit Release I have been able to really improve my skills, both in 3d, and texturing, I am slowly picking up stuff that I originally wanted to try a year or so back,but never got the chance to.
At the moment I am happy as I am slowly getting better at texturing, I managed to get that worn out look that you have seen on the metal work, and also the scratched effect on the paint work, but now I have learned how to apply tearing to the paint and also how to paint it so that it looks like theres Metal underneath, I`ll explain with a simple picture.
On the left is before I apply the new techniques, its just a bland normal baked texture, on the right is me messing around with the various effects I have used and also the new ones, to simulate age, damage and scratching.
I am working hard on the final scene for the animation I am working on currently, my computers having problems so instead of jumping right in and doing the main work for Limit Release`s story, which I had originally all planned out instead I am going to be releasing a much smaller animation.
Its comprised of a drop sequence , a VOB sequence and also a fight sequence, all in the sake of taking down a fleet of transports that are on route to an area to commence their mission, and Limit Breaker is given the task of taking down the transports and retrieving anything it can from them.
Its gonna feature AC vs AC fighting and I am trying to get it to be the best it can be at the moment,so I really cant wait till its all done, for those who don't check often, heres a sneak peak on my youtube page of it.
Gundam 00 music, nice!!! Trans-AM Raiser iirc, also very nice movie!!
Daemonn its not a mod, its a movie using the Unreal 3 Engine, the mod equivalent is Moddb.com Tactical mod for U3, they are sharing data to make it work both as a movie and as a mod.
Very good job on this, i like it:D
The intro is WAAAAAAAAAAY too long
but it's a really nice video anyway
Wow, very cool.
Outdone yourself now moody, but god i will pay to see this finished if need be :D
Very nice! It will be epic to see this thing finished. Everything looks great so far. Now if only I could figure out how to texture...

Brik, pronounced "Breek", is somewhat like a delicious turnover, but like a soufflé, it must be served immediately. A Tunisian brik always has an egg in it, but it can have tuna, potatoes, capers and parsley. The casing, malsouka, is a cross between phyllo dough and a spring roll sheet. A brik is deep fried, olive oil is best, then drained on a paper towel. The trick is to hold the triangular brik with the point up while biting into it and not let the egg run down your chin.
YIELD: 4 servings
Ingredients1 small onion (optional)
1 six-ounce can of tuna
2 tablespoons of chopped parsley
2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan
4 eggroll or spring roll wrappers
4 small eggs
Olive oil for frying
Lemon wedges

Student Opportunities
Off-Campus Opportunities
Coe has an exceptional internship program which places students throughout the U.S. and the world. During an internship students put into practice the classroom concepts they have learned in preparation for a possible career. As part of this program, for example, you can spend a semester as an assistant to professional engineers or do research in an industrial laboratory or join a graduate-level research team at a major university.
Besides individually designed internships, exciting off-campus terms are also offered through Coe. Coe physics majors may be especially interested in the Oak Ridge science semester at the National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. A term at Oak Ridge gives you the opportunity to use sophisticated scientific equipment while working alongside professional research scientists.
- Several physics students served as interns in Japan, England, China, and Canada.
- Over 100 students have given talks at national and international meetings concerning their research.
- Most physics students spend summers at Coe doing publishable research. In a typical year we host 20 summer research students.
- Coe students have joined labs at Iowa State University, Vanderbilt University, Lehigh University, Indiana University, and Brown University while still a Coe undergraduate.
- Students have opportunities to study abroad and attend conferences.
Research Areas of the Department
The Physics Department has three flourishing undergraduate research programs. Indeed we are one of the most active undergraduate research programs in the United States. Jim Cottingham and several students are studying musical acoustics with a particular focus on reed instruments. Mario Affatigato and his research students study optical properties of solids. They use several kinds of lasers for this work and a newly acquired laser ablation time of flight mass spectrometer. Steve Feller's group studies Physical properties and atomic arrangements of oxide glasses. In each case, students extensively use research grade equipment, perform experiments over extended time periods, attend and present at meeting (both national and international), author journal papers, and participate in current scientific research.
- Blog - Summer Research at Coe: by Elizabeth Hoover de Galvez
Preparing for Success
Students at Coe do more than just attend classes. As a physics major you'll get a well-rounded education and a solid preparation for your life after college. At Coe you can:
- Take a special May Term physics course and learn to do research.
- Work alongside your professors in Coe's exceptional laboratory facilities on several research projects.
- Spend a semester at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and get firsthand experience in professional research labs.
- Spend a summer doing research at Coe or at an Off-campus laboratory doing collaborative research with Coe. Several of these labs are in England, Canada, China, and Japan.
- Join our nationally acclaimed Society of Physics Students chapter. Each year we invite numerous speakers and visit industrial, academic and national labs.
Many Coe students interested in careers in engineering major in physics, or general science at Coe. Please see the information sheets on the cooperative program in engineering available from the Office of Admission.

Great Golf Along The Great Strand
Myrtle Beach
What To Bring
Choosing what to bring to Myrtle Beach depends on when you make the visit. In the warmer months, shorts are appropriate on and off the course as well as at most dining establishments. Also, warmer month usually means they'll be some added humidity, which for those of you familiar with it, means more airborne insects in the air. Be sure to bring not only sun protection, but insect repellent as well. It's a lifesaver. Light sweaters and pants are fine for cooler months. Bring an umbrella all year round.
As for your clubs, it never hurts to carry an extra putter in your bag (but remove it if you're playing in serious competition.) Myrtle Beach has several inland courses as well as coastal courses, with greens that vary in shape, size and most importantly—speed. We recommend a putter you feel comfortable with on slower greens and another for fast, slick greens. Also, be sure to stock plenty of balls. Water hazards are very popular at courses throughout the area.
When To Go
Myrtle Beach is an all-year-round golf vacation resort, with the most precipitation occurring during the summer months when the heat index is highest. If you don't mind the cooler weather, there are some good deals to be had during the winter. The biggest crowds typically appearing during the warmer months.

A new trailer of King's Story from GDC 08. Looks pretty similar to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Little King so it may divide people who are interested in both. Though it looks like it has a bit more action that the Crystal Chronicles WiiWare game. Time will tell I suppose. [url]http://kotaku.com/[/url]

The Top Four Habits That Irritate Your Boss (page 2)
January 10, 2012 5:00 AM
#2.) Making Excuses. When you mess up, just admit it and try to learn from it. Bosses hate it when you attempt to justify something you did wrong, even if you're telling the truth.
Obviously you have to EXPLAIN yourself. Just don't try to shift the blame. Explain what happened, take any steps you can to fix it, then move on.

4 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Neglect Your LORs
You may be tempted to shrug off your letters of recommendation until the last minute, thinking (erroneously) that if the rest of your application is impressive, then a letter of rec won't really do much to influence the adcom readers.
Here are 4 reasons why you shouldn't neglect your LORs:
- LORs affirm what you've already claimed about yourself in your essays. Adcom readers will more likely believe that you are an awesome candidate when they read about your qualifications from a third party.
- They leave room for discussion of additional accomplishments and skills. You may not have gotten a chance to talk about a certain element of your leadership experience in your essays. You can (and should) mention to your recommender that you'd like for him to elaborate on that.
- They offer a platform for combating a weakness in your profile. If you didn't score quite so high on the verbal section of the SAT/GRE/GMAT/LSAT/MCAT, you should find a recommender who will be able to talk up your verbal skills.
- A strong LOR can tip the scales in your favor if the adcoms are looking at two (or more) otherwise equally competitive applicants. Wouldn't you choose the applicant that's got a team of professionals vouching for her?

British Railways 1948 - 1965
The Big Four railways reacted quickly to the end of World War II by repainting their premier locomotives in their corporate colours and, although they were in a poor state due to the rigours of war, I believe that they would have gradually regained their pre war status. However, with a new Labour government and the scent of "state ownership for everything" in the air their days were numbered. So, on 1 Jan 1948, British Railways (BR)was born.
During those first days the newly formed Railway Executive couldn't decide what the corporate colours for BR would be so, in the spirit of "let everyone decide" they experimented with various colour schemes. These ranged from a deep ultramarine blue to a lighter blue shade through a particularly vile lime green and ending up with a Brunswick Green. This latter colour was, to all effects and purposes, the GWR livery.
So the GWR lobby won in the end. I can't trace who the GWR lobby consisted of but they were there !!

In his January 9 State of the State address, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo unveiled a 10-point plan for so-called "women's equality," a front-and-center element of which is an abortion expansion scheme that champions of the unborn warn will open the door to late-term abortion on demand.
While Cuomo declined to offer specifics of the proposal, "he is expected to push for provisions similar to those in a bill introduced by Democratic state Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins," reported Fox News. "That bill contains language that would allow abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy if it is 'necessary to protect a woman's health" — a stipulation that critics explain is far different than protecting a woman's life and could be interpreted to allow the abortion of a viable baby late into a pregnancy.
Stewart-Cousins is pressuring her fellow state lawmakers to move quickly on the "crucial legislation," emphasizing that it would "ensure that regardless of what takes place on the national level, a woman's right to choose will always be protected in New York State."
The proposal prompted a letter to Cuomo from New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who called the legislation "radical" and told the governor that he was "hard pressed to think of a piece of legislation that is less needed or more harmful than this one."
Kathleen M. Gallagher, director of pro-life activities for the New York State Catholic Conference, said that Cuomo's abortion push entrenched in his so-called "women's agenda" is little more than a warmed over six-year-old proposal first fronted by disgraced former Governor Eliot Spitzer. She said the proposal, that has been repeatedly rejected as a stand alone bill, "is radical and far out of the mainstream, even by the standards of New York, a state with an abortion rate twice the national average."

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 8.10: dhcp3-client 3.1.1-1ubuntu2.2 dhcp3-client-udeb 3.1.1-1ubuntu2.2 Ubuntu 9.04: dhcp-client 3.1.1-5ubuntu8.2 dhcp3-client 3.1.1-5ubuntu8.2 Ubuntu 9.10: dhcp-client 3.1.2-1ubuntu7.1 dhcp3-client 3.1.2-1ubuntu7.1 After a standard system upgrade you need to restart any DHCP network connections utilizing dhclient3 to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: USN-803-1 fixed a vulnerability in Dhcp. Due to an error, the patch to fix the vulnerability was not properly applied on Ubuntu 8.10 and higher. Even with the patch improperly applied, the default compiler options reduced the vulnerability to a denial of service. Additionally, in Ubuntu 9.04 and higher, users were also protected by the AppArmor dhclient3 profile. This update fixes the problem. Original advisory details: It was discovered that the DHCP client as included in dhcp3 did not verify the length of certain option fields when processing a response from an IPv4 dhcp server. If a user running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS or 8.04 LTS connected to a malicious dhcp server, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program, typically the 'dhcp' user. For users running Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04, a remote attacker should only be able to cause a denial of service in the DHCP client. In Ubuntu 9.04, attackers would also be isolated by the AppArmor dhclient3 profile. (Distributions)

AOL News has a new home! The Huffington Post.Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!
In a stunning revelation, Sen. Scott Brown tells 60 Minutes he was sexually abused by a camp counselor as a child but never told anyone about the "traumatic" experience, not even his mother, because he didn't think anyone would believe him.
"That's what happens when you're a victim. You're embarrassed, you're hurt," he said in an interview airing Sunday with CBS News' Leslie Stahl. "Fortunately, nothing was ever fully consummated, so to speak, but it was certainly back then, very traumatic."
Brown, a Republican, gained the national spotlight when he won a special election in 2010 for the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's seat in heavily Democratic Massachusetts.
The Boston Globe obtained a copy of Brown's upcoming memoir, "Against All Odds," in which he writes about being fondled at age 10 by a male counselor at a religious camp he attended. The counselor threatened to kill him if he told anyone what had happened, he told Stahl.
Brown, 51, also said he had been beaten by a stepfather, according to a statement released by the CBS program on Wednesday.
The Globe reported that publicity releases for the book quoted Brown as saying he was the victim of "a savage beating at the drunken, dirty-fingernail hands of a stepfather" when he was 6 years old. The boy had been trying to defend his mother from his stepfather.

As a fellow survivor of sexual abuse, I applaud Senator Brown for openingly discussing his ordeal. I know from experience the depression, fear, guilt and shame that such an event as such can cause.

Oh please! This man is not making up the abuse he suffered. This is why so much sexual and physical abuse go unreported! No one believes them! What could he gain from this? A few book sales?

I have family member who was sexually abused as a child and hid it from all of us. He was threatened too. You can't possibly understand the terror these kids are subject to. They think they are protecting their parents. it has nothing to do with not 'trusting' their mother. If Scott Brown claims he was abused, then he should be sympathized with, plain and simple.February 17 2011 at 7:19 PM Report abuse Permalink +5 rate up rate down Reply
I disagree. For a 10 yr old young boy,it is truly embarrassing to be caught in that situation. He was right when he said that you can doubt if your parents will believe you. The uncertain consequences can be very traumatic,therefore, vulnerable,helpless kids decide to keep it to themselves. It was brave of him to admit that.February 17 2011 at 11:15 PM Report abuse Permalink +8 rate up rate down Reply

Where are all Republicans that put Cheryl Burke down last week when she also said she had been sexually abused as a child? I guess only Republicans are allowed to come out with this information.

I disagree that his revelations are based on politics or emotional need. I just think it's easier to talk about these trumatic events in today's world than it was 20 ,30, or more years ago. It's good for victims to hear about others who have experienced these horrors, so they too can open up if they feel the need, and celebrities are in a good positon to let people know that they are not alone, they can open up, and there is no need to feel shame or embarrasment about it-it was not the victims' fault.February 17 2011 at 12:47 PM Report abuse Permalink +20 rate up rate down Reply
I suffered similar abuse (nothing was consumated) at the age of 6, from a male babysitter. I spent 3 decades without thinking of it, until it hit me BAM, when my daughter was about 4. The feeling of embarrassement never leaves you. The damage is tremendous. I completely understand how he felt and why he did not "report" it. Molested children fear a backlash. They are usually threatened. I am very glad he came forward with this. This is not a political tactic (and this is a Democrat talking). I admire him for warning parents of children out there so they can talk and warn them. Beware.February 17 2011 at 4:25 PM Report abuse Permalink +12 rate up rate down Reply

I've gone legit
don't let my new "legitimate looking" store mislead you.
everything at gublerland is still lovingly made by hand in very limited editions, but due to the OVERWHELMING success of my "Gubler-Flu" T-shirt i have decided it's time for the Gube-Shop to step things up a little.
so i've gone professional, set up a real internet store, gotten a top notch internationally friendly checkout system, and hired a full time staff of fast experienced shippers.
but don't worry, even though its no longer me, my brother, and step-mom hand folding, sorting, and shipping everything from our cramped las vegas living room, i assure you it's all still done with the exact same amount of love you've come to expect from gublerland. (only now my dad gets his living room back)
i hope you enjoy these little treasures as much as i enjoyed making them.
(me shipping shirts very late at night)

About Robert Pennix
Robert Pennix born in Lynchburg, Va. started drawing at a very young age he has worked in many mediums. While in high school Robert was influenced by his instructor to recognize the importance of color, perspective, shading, and shapes. This served him well in his college years. He excelled in all of his fine art classes, winning awards in oil painting, drawing and photography. Robert worked for a couple years as a free lance artist. His free lance work also included several mediums. Over the years Robert has had a successful career as a Culinary Professional while continuing work as a pencil and pastel artist on commission basis. His warm and lifelike portraits hang in homes throughout his regions. He pays close attention to the subject in order to achieve likeness and expression that is distinctly characteristic of the individual.
Robert�s interest in photography began in college. After college he worked for a short time for a design company developing film and creating backdrops for table top photography. Never putting the camera down Robert used photography as way to record the subjects in his portrait work. After numerous shots he realized the camera was an instrument that could be used to record subject matter that is a product of his everyday life and travels. He started to venture out with the intention of discovering things that draw his attention. When one studies his photographs, it becomes obvious that the subject matter is secondary to his innate understanding of composition and arrangement. Photography has unleashed a level of creativity that he wants to share with others.

Testing For Food Allergies
4. Oral Challenge Test
After a skin-prick, intradermal, and/or blood test determines that the possibility of a reaction to a food is unlikely, patients may be given an oral "challenge test". For this test, they are given a tiny amount of the substance to eat, and if they don't react, they are given increasingly larger amounts over several hours.
If the patient reacts, the test is stopped and the reaction is treated. If the patient doesn't react, he or she can be assured that the food is safe to eat.
Challenge tests usually happen in the allergist's office, but when there is a risk of a potentially serious reaction, they may be performed in a hospital. Some allergists will not perform this test at all when the risk is considered high.
While the risk of challenge tests is greater than the risk associate with the skin-prick, intradermal, and blood tests, they are considered the only truly accurate measure of a food allergy, and can help patients who are unnecessarily avoiding certain foods.
However, if you pass the challenge, it doesn't always mean you're not allergic, because some patients can react again after a period of time or under different circumstances. For example, a patient who is pollen-allergic may react to a food during pollen season, but not in winter.
