This is another one of those Elvis movies that lots of Elvis fans hate. But I like it. First: I'm a sucker for any movie with underwater scuba stuff. Second: The supporting cast is good. Especially Elsa Lanchester as the yoga lady and Frank McHugh as Captain Jack. Skip Ward is a typical '60s "pretty boy" heavy and Pat Priest makes a great femme fatale. Wow! What a figure! Wish Elvis would have ended up with her instead of the "virginal" Dodie Marshall.
Liked her better as the "new" drummer in "Spinout". But she was okay. Third: The soundtrack gets a bad rap. Why? "Easy Come, Easy Go"; You Gotta Stop; I'll Take Love";
"Sing, You Children" are all good. 'The Love Machine" is listenable. The only bad one is
"Yoga Is As Yoga Does". But in the context of the film with the visuals it's hilarious.
My advice? Watch it again. Go with the flow. You'll enjoy it.

A brief summary of last week since my last update.
The UK Folding Plug I photographed earlier this month have won the Brit Insurance Design Of The Year Award 2010, well done to Min-Kyu Choi and the team!
The Four Tops (shot last week) appeared in the main feature of The Times Arts&Ents last Friday, and the Sunday Times published one of my studio portraits of Marina And The Diamonds, nice double Times .
Music-photography-wise I covered the return of Craig David with his album launch at Scala last week, as well as a big sold-out show of Frightened Rabbit at KOKO which showed how fast these guys are growing, and finally Chris Rea supported by Paul Casey at the Hammersmith Apollo on Sunday night.
A lot of time spent trying another time to make a fresh install on my MacBook Pro, from an empty drive, reinstalling everything one by one, for those who tried they know that it's a long journey in front of a screen! Working on new exciting opportunities as well as on the Music Video I mentioned before, we hope it will be launched by mid April! Oh and despite these last few enjoyable sunny days I have a cold, shame, how am I going to enjoy the taste of the Guinness tonight? Happy St Patrick's day everyone.

Light Flight
This California Gull (Larus californicus) is taking off from the water. He is not actually made of light, taking off from light and shadow bokeh, but if you want to think that I won't complain!
Captured at Stow Lake in Golden Gate National Park, San Francisco with the AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Lens on the Nikon D300 Camera.
Malcolm found this wonderful post about Bokeh! Pronunciation, Meaning and Practical Use from the excellent photographer Martin Bailey. It made us both laugh out loud, and it's very much worth listening to. Not least that it might help everyone understand and pronounce bokeh better! (Do try and avoid calling people asshole, which, it seems, is what I've been doing!)
Speaking of which, I loves me some bokeh!
Moss growing on the beam of an outdoor pagoda/theatre at Filoli, the National Trust Historic country estate, shot with my "Bokeh Maker," the Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 Zoom Super Wide Angle Lens on the Nikon D300 Camera.

I'm in love with the bokeh in this shot, thanks to the AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Lens on the Nikon D300 Camera.

No flowers on mesquites either. Just long "hangy" things. Like it or not, the cottonwood is listed as a minor honey plant. It is actually a major pollen plant for NM.
All the honey I have ever seen that I suspected coming from them was dark and nasty though. Better Winter bee food. Best left for the bees - like Plums... at least my plums.
Diana- I was seeing the same light/creamy colored pollen last week. Not so much since we had a bit of a cold snap though. I suspect it's Elm...lots of Elm here in Deming.
So, WHERE do they get this nectar from? There are no flowers on the cottonwood tree..If these trees were in fact a nectar source all of New Mexico would enjoy it's bounty, sorry I ain't buyin'
They do in fact get nectar from them. It's not a major plant, they mostly get pollen.
Paul bees here DO work juniper, my house is surrounded by juniper trees and the pollen is abundant. I have never heard of cottonwood trees as a nectar source, what makes you think that they produce nectar?
It could also be some of the juniper. It is up in the air whether they work Juniper for pollen, but they usually go off around now.
I started feeding my desert bee last week, to get them brooded up. The problem up here in the mountains is that the flow is so early, they really have to brood up fast to hit the fruit trees.
Cottonwoods and willows are the first nectar plants. Hopefully the city leaves us some willow trees for the bees down in the creek bed. There has to be some sort of law against wholesale uprooting of a riparian environment like that.
Hi Diana,
Elm in bloom now, so depending on amount of forage your bees have access to u may not need to provide additional substitute. Once temps overnight stay above freezing, so that moisture won't condense inside the hive you may want to consider feeding. I'm in the North valley of Abq so you folks are a bit ahead of us..
That's what I am thinking. Any idea what kind of pollen they are bringing in? Someone on the NMBA facebook page thought it could be Siberian elm. Lots of elm trees around here, but the type...who knows.
Most of the time the bees don't need our help.
Mixing up some for my bees tomorrow. But I wonder, since they have begun to bring in pollen (very light colored, not white but creamy) should I just let nature take its course? Could they be providing enough food for themselves?
The New Mexico Beekeepers Association is a non-profit organization of private beekeepers, commercial beekeepers, persons interested in promoting the importance of the honey bee in the environment, and businesses related to the honey industry.

SAP Authorization ConceptSecure User Access |
The SAP authorization concept was developed to protect transactions, programs, and services in SAP systems from unauthorized access. In the authorization concept, the administrator assigns authorizations to users that determine which actions a user can execute in the SAP system, after he or she has logged on to the system and authenticated himself or herself. Because business objects and SAP transactions are protected by authorization, a user requires corresponding authorizations. The authorizations represent instances of generic authorization objects, and are defined by the activity and responsibilities of the employee. Authorizations are combined in an authorization profile, associated with a role. The user administrators then assign the corresponding roles using the user master record, so the user can use the appropriate transactions for his or her tasks. SAP Best Practices facilitates the definition of authorization profiles by listing the SAP transactions that are necessary to perform all system activities required for the handling of the respective business scenario. Using the profile generator you can automatically create authorization profiles covering selected system transactions. See the function list for an overview of the transactions used in the different SAP Best Practices scenarios. All authorization profiles can be adapted according to the necessary requirements and the authorization concept that has to be realized, respectively. For more information on this topic, see the SAP Help Portal, in the area SAP Netweaver -> Security -> Identity Management. |

The Míkmaq (English /ˈmɪkˌmæk/; Mi'kmaq: [miːɡmax]) are a First Nations people, indigenous to Canada's Maritime Provinces and the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec. They call this region Mi'kma'kik. Others today live in Newfoundland and the northeastern region of Maine. The nation has a population of about 40,000 (plus about 25,000 in the Qalipu First Nation[2][3]), of whom nearly 11,000 speak the Míkmaq language.[4][5] Once written in Míkmaq hieroglyphic writing, it is now written using most letters of the standard Latin alphabet.
The Grand Council (also known as Santé Mawiómi) was the traditional senior level of government for the Mi'kmaq people until the Indian Act was created (1876). After implementation of the Indian Act, the Grand Council adopted a more spiritual function. The Grand Council was made up of representatives from the seven district councils in Mi'kmai'ki.
On September 26, 2011 the Government of Canada announced the recognition of Canada's newest Mi'kmaq First Nations Band, the Qalipu First Nations in Newfoundland and Labrador. The new landless band has accepted 25,000 applications to become part of the band.[6] The number of applications received by the application deadline on November 30, 2012 exceeded 100,000. The majority of these have yet to be processed.[7] Its members are recognized as Status Indians, joining other organized Mi'kmaq bands recognized in southeast Canada.[8][9]
The ethnonym has traditionally been spelled Micmac in English, but natives have used different spellings: Mi'kmaq (singular Mi'kmaw) by the Míkmaq of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, Miigmaq (Miigmao) by the Míkmaq of New Brunswick, Mi'gmaq by the Listuguj Council in Quebec, or Mìgmaq (Mìgmaw) in some native literature.[10] Until the 1980s, "Micmac" remained the most common spelling in English.
Although still used, for example, in Ethnologue, this spelling has fallen out of favour in recent years. Most scholarly publications use the preferred native spelling of Mi'kmaq,[11] as the spelling Micmac is now considered to be "colonially tainted".[10] The Míkmaq prefer to use one of the three current Míkmaq orthographies when writing the language.[12]
Lnu (the adjectival and singular noun, previously spelled "L'nu"; the plural is Lnúk, Lnu'k, Lnu'g, or Lnùg) is the self-recognized term for the Míkmaq of New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Maine, meaning "human being" or "the people".[13]
Various explanations exist for the origin of the term Míkmaq. The Mi'kmaw Resource Guide states that "Míkmaq" means "the family":
The definite article "the" suggests that "Mi'kmaq" is the undeclined form indicated by the initial letter "m". When declined in the singular it reduces to the following forms: nikmaq - my family; kikmaq - your family; wikma - his/her family. The variant form Mi'kmaw plays two grammatical roles: 1) It is the singular of Mi'kmaq and 2) it is an adjective in circumstances where it precedes a noun (e.g. mi'kmaw[sic?] people, mi'kmaw treaties, mi'kmaw person, etc.)[14]
However, there are other hypotheses:
The name "Micmac" was first recorded in a memoir by de La Chesnaye in 1676. Professor Ganong in a footnote to the word megamingo (earth), as used by Marc Lescarbot, remarked "that it is altogether probable that in this word lies the origin of the name Micmac." As suggested in this paper on the customs and beliefs of the Micmacs, it would seem that megumaagee the name used by the Micmacs, or the Megumawaach, as they called themselves, for their land, is from the words megwaak, "red", and magumegek, "on the earth", or as Rand recorded, "red on the earth," megakumegek, "red ground," "red earth." The Micmacs, then, must have thought of themselves as the Red Earth People, or the People of the Red Earth. Others seeking a meaning for the word Micmac have suggested that it is from nigumaach, my brother, my friend, a word that was also used as a term of endearment by a husband for his wife... Still another explanation for the word Micmac suggested by Stansbury Hagar in "Micmac Magic and Medicine" is that the word megumawaach is from megumoowesoo, the name of the Micmacs' legendary master magicians, from whom the earliest Micmac wizards are said to have received their power.[15]
Members of the Mi'kmaq First Nation historically referred to themselves as Lnu, but used the term níkmaq (my kin) as a greeting. The French initially referred to the Míkmaq as Souriquois"[16] and later as Gaspesiens or (through English) "Mickmakis". The British originally referred to them as Tarrantines.[17]
The Mi'kmaq territory was divided into seven traditional "districts". Each district had its own independent government and boundaries. The independent governments had a district chief and a council. The council members were band chiefs, elders, and other worthy community leaders. The district council was charged with performing all the duties of any independent and free government by enacting laws, justice, apportioning fishing and hunting grounds, making war, suing for peace, etc.
The Seven Mi'kmaq Districts are Kespukwitk, Sikepnékatik, Eskíkewaq, Unamákik, Piktuk aqq Epekwitk, Sikniktewaq, and Kespékewaq.
In addition to the district councils, there was also a Grand Council or Santé Mawiómi. The Grand Council was composed of "Keptinaq", or captains in English, who were the district chiefs. There were also Elders, the Putús (Wampum belt readers and historians, who also dealt with the treaties with the non-natives and other Native tribes), the women council, and the Grand Chief. The Grand Chief was a title given to one of the district chiefs, which was usually from the Mi'kmaq district of Unamáki or Cape Breton Island. This title was hereditary and usually went to the Grand Chief's eldest son. The Grand Council met on a little island on the Bras d'Or lake in Cape Breton called "Mniku", on a reserve today called Chapel Island or Potlotek. To this day, the Grand Council still meets at the Mniku to discuss current issues within the Mi'kmaq Nation.
Pre-contact culture
Mi'kmaq people lived in structures called wigwams. Saplings, which were usually spruce, were cut down and bent over a circle drawn on the ground. These saplings were lashed together at the top, and then covered with birch bark. The Mi'kmaq had two different sizes of wigwams. The smaller size could hold 10-15 people and the larger size 15-20 people. Wigwams could be either conical or domed in shape.
Food and hunting
The Mi'kmaq were semi-nomadic. During the summer they spent most of their time on the shores harvesting seafood; during the winter they would move inland to the woods to hunt. The most important animal hunted by the Mi'kmaq was the moose which provided food, clothing, cordage, and other things. Other animals hunted/trapped included deer, caribou, bear, rabbit, beaver, and others. The weapon used most for hunting was the bow and arrow. The Mi'kmaq made their bows from maple. The Mi'kmaq people would store lobsters in the ground for later consumption.[citation needed]The Mi'kmaq ate fish of all kinds, like salmon, sturgeon, porpoises, whales, walrus, seals, lobster, squid, shellfish, and eels, as well as seabirds and their eggs. The Mi'kmaq also ate moose, caribou, beaver, porcupine and small animals, like squirrels. [18]
Hunting a moose
The moose was the most important animal to the Mi'kmaq. It was their second main source of meat, clothing and cordage, which were all crucial commodities. The Mi'kmaq usually hunted moose in groups of 3 to 5 men. Before the moose hunt, the Mi'kmaq would starve their dogs for 2 days to make them fierce in helping to finish off the moose. To kill the moose, they would injure it first, by using a bow and arrow or other weapons, and after it was down, they would move in on it and finish it off with spears and their dogs. The guts would then be fed to the dogs. During this whole process, the men would try to direct the moose in the direction of the camp, so that the women would not have to go as far to drag the moose back. A boy became a man in the eyes of the community after he had killed his first moose. It was only then that he had earned the right to marry.
On June 24, 1610, Grand Chief Membertou converted to Catholicism and was baptised. He concluded an alliance with the French Jesuits which affirmed the right of Mi'kmaq to choose Catholicism and\or Mi'kmaw tradition. The Mi'kmaq, as allies with the French, were amenable to limited French settlement in their midst.

In the wake of King Phillips War, the Mi'kmaq became members of the Wapnáki (Wabanaki Confederacy), an alliance with four other Algonquian-language nations: the Abenaki, Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, and Maliseet.[19]
The Wabanaki Confederacy were allied with Acadia. Over a period of seventy-five years, there were six wars in Mi'kma'ki (Acadia and Nova Scotia) in which the Mi'kmaq fought to keep the British from taking over the region (See the four French and Indian Wars as well as Father Rale's War and Father Le Loutre's War). While France lost military control of Acadia in 1710, and political claim by the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht (apart from Cape Breton), the Mí'kmaq on the other hand never conceded any land to the British.
In 1715 the Mi'kmaq were to learn that the British now claimed their ancient territory as their own, by the Treaty of Utrecht that the Mi'kmaq were no party to. They formally complained to the French commander at Louisbourg for the French king transferring the sovereignty of their nation when he did not possess it. They were only then informed that the French had claimed legal possession of their country for a century, on account of laws decreed by kings in Europe, that no land could be legally owned by any non-Christian, and that such land was therefore freely available to any Christian prince who claimed it. Mi'kmaw historian Daniel Paul observes that "If this warped law were ever to be accorded recognition by modern legalists they would have to take into consideration that, after Grand Chief Membertou and his family converted to Christianity in 1610, the land of the Mi'kmaq had become exempt from being seized because the people were Christians. However, it's hard to imagine that a modern government would fall back and try to use such uncivilized garbage as justification for non-recognition of aboriginal title."[20]
Along with Acadians, the Mi'kmaq used military force to resist the founding of British (Protestant) settlements by making numerous raids on Halifax, Dartmouth, Lawrencetown and Lunenburg. During the French and Indian War, the Mi'kmaq assisted the Acadians in resisting the British during the Expulsion of the Acadians. The military resistance significantly was reduced with the French defeat at the Siege of Louisbourg (1758) in Cape Breton.
The Treaties
The Mí'kmaq signed a series of peace and friendship treaties with Great Britain. The first was after Father Rale's War (1725). The nation historically consisted of seven districts, which was later expanded to eight with the ceremonial addition of Great Britain at the time of the 1749 treaty. Chief Jean-Baptiste Cope signed a Peace Treaty in 1752 on behalf of the Shubenacadie Mi'kmaq.[21] With the signing of various treaties, the 75 years of regular warfare ended with the Burying the Hatchet ceremony (Nova Scotia) (1761).
According to historian John G. Reid, the treaties of 1760-61, while they contain statements of Mi'kmaw submission to the British crown, what is known of the surrounding discussions, combined with the strong evidence of later Mi'kmaw statements, indicates that a friendly and reciprocal relationship was the real intent. The Mi'kmaw leaders who came initially to Halifax in 1760 had clear goals that centred on the making of peace, the establishment of a secure and well-regulated trade in commodities such as furs, and an ongoing friendship with the British crown. In return, they offered their own friendship and a tolerance of limited British settlement, although without any formal land surrender.[22] To fulfill the friendly and reciprocal intent of the treaties, further British settlement of land would need to be negotiated and, in exchange for accommodating the existing British settlements, presents would be given to the Mi'kmaq. (There was a long history of Europeans giving Mi'kmaq people presents to be accommodated on their land, starting with the first colonial contact.) The documents summarizing the peace agreements failed to establish specific territorial limits on the expansion of British settlements, but they assured the Mi'kmaq access to the natural resources that had long sustained them along the regions' coasts and in the woods.[23]
The intent of the treaties began to erode with the arrival of the New England Planters and United Empire Loyalists. This migration into the region created significant economic, environmental and cultural pressures on the Mi'kmaq. The Mi'kmaq tried to enforce the treaties through threat of force. At the beginning of the American Revolution, many Mi'kmaq and Maliseet tribes were supportive of the Americans against the British. They participated in the Maugerville Rebellion and the Battle of Fort Cumberland in 1776. (Mí'kmaq delegates concluded the first international treaty, the Treaty of Watertown, with the United States soon after it declared its independence in July 1776. These delegates did not officially represent the Mi'kmaq government, although many individual Mi'kmaq did privately join the Continental army as a result.) In June 1779, Mi'kmaq in the Miramichi attacked and plundered some of the British in the area. The following month, British Captain Augustus Harvey, in command of the HMS Viper, arrived in the area and battled with the Mi'kmaq. One Mi'kmaq was killed and 16 were taken prisoner to Quebec. The prisoners were eventually brought to Halifax, where they were later released upon signing the Oath of Allegiance to the British Crown on 28 July 1779.[24][25]
As their military power wained in the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Mi'kmaq people made explicit appeals to the British to honour the reciprocal intent of the treaties and the duty of the British to give "presents" to the Mi'kmaq for occupying Mi'kma'ki. In response, the British offered charity or, the word most often used by government officials, "relief". And relief always came with strings attached: the Mi'kmaq must give up their way of life and begin to settle on farms and their children were to be sent for education to British schools.[26]
The Treaties did not gain legal status until they were enshrined into the Canadian Constitution in 1982. Every October 1, "Treaty Day" is now celebrated by Nova Scotians.
21st Century
On August 31, 2010, the governments of Canada and Nova Scotia signed an historic agreement with the Mi'kmaq Nation, establishing a process whereby they must consult with the Mi'kmaq Grand Council before engaging in any activities or projects that affect the Mi'kmaq in Nova Scotia — which covers most, if not all, actions these governments might take within that jurisdiction. This is the first such collaborative agreement in Canadian history including all the First Nations within an entire province.[27]
Míkmaq First Nation subdivisions
Míkmaw names in the table are spelled according to several orthographies. The Míkmaw orthographies in use are Míkmaw pictographs, the orthography of Silas Tertius Rand, the Pacifique orthography, and the most recent Smith-Francis orthography, which has been adopted throughout Nova Scotia and in most Míkmaw communities.
Year | Population | Verification |
1500 | 4,500 | Estimation |
1600 | 3,000 | Estimation |
1700 | 2,000 | Estimation |
1750 | 3,000 | Estimation |
1800 | 3,100 | Estimation |
1900 | 4,000 | Census |
1940 | 5,000 | Census |
1960 | 6,000 | Census |
1972 | 10,000 | Census |
2006 | 20,000 | Census |
The pre-contact population is estimated at 3,000-30,000.[30] In 1616, Father Biard believed the Míkmaq population to be in excess of 3,000, but he remarked that, because of European diseases, there had been large population losses during the 16th century. Smallpox, wars and alcoholism led to a further decline of the native population, which was probably at its lowest in the middle of the 17th century. Then the numbers grew slightly again, before becoming apparently stable during the 19th century. During the 20th century, the population was on the rise again. The average growth from 1965 to 1970 was about 2.5%.
In the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, October is celebrated as Míkmaq History Month and the entire Nation celebrates Treaty Day annually on October 1. This was first signified in the year, 1752, with the Peace and Friendship Treaty (also called the Treaty of 1752) signed by Jean-Baptiste Cope of Shubenacadie and the king's representative. It was stated that the natives would be given gifts annually,"as long as they continued in Peace."[31]
In Mi'kmaq mythology, evil and wickedness among men causes them to kill each other. This causes great sorrow to the creator-sun-god, who weeps tears that become rains sufficient to trigger a deluge. The people attempt to survive by traveling in bark canoes, but only a single old man and woman survive to populate the earth.[32] When looking at the Mi'kmaq people's oral traditions there are three types: myths, legends, and folklore. Myths are used to tell the stories of the earliest possible time, that would include creation stories. Other myths account for the organization of the world and society, the myth of how men and women were created and why they are different from one another is a good example of this. Because of their power to describe how things should be, myths are very important to the Mi'kmaq. Legends are the second and they are oral traditions related to particular places. Legends can involve the recent or distant past, but are most important in linking people and the land. The last one is folktales, which are stories that all the people take part in it. Folktales are known to be fictional, they are useful for providing moral or social lessons to youth, or just for amusement. Folktales were also used by the Mi'kmaq people for long winter nights sitting around the fire and because of this a good storyteller was highly prized by the Mi'kmaq people. [33]

- ^ Among the annual festivals of the old times, now lost sight of, was the celebration of St. Aspinquid's Day, known as the Indian Saint. St. Aspinquid appeared in the Nova Scotia almanacks from 1774 to 1786. The festival was celebrated on or immediately after the last quarter of the moon in the month of May. The tide being low at that time, many of the principal inhabitants of the town, on these occasions, assembled on the shore of the North West Arm and partook of a dish of clam soup, the clams being collected on the spot at low water. There is a tradition that during the American troubles when agents of the revolted colonies were active to gain over the good people of Halifax, in the year 1786, were celebrating St. Aspinquid, the wine having been circulated freely, the Union Jack was suddenly hauled down and replaced by the Stars and Stripes. This was soon reversed, but all those persons who held public offices immediately left the grounds, and St. Aspinquid was never after celebrated at Halifax. (See Akins.

I have the similar problem.
My AE CS5 on windows 7 64bit doesn't recognise any installed codec (ec. divx, xvid,...none). I don't know what to do. Any suggestin please?
When i go to Render queue -> Output module - lossless -> Format options -> Video codec it shows only basic codec not xvid,divx... I have installed divx codec and register it and still nothing.
Make sure you understand exactly what you are dealing with. I, too, had questions about this topic and when trying to learn answers I got very confused over how people refer to divx etc., seems to be as families of codec's and not a specific codec, and there are variations.
So when you say "it shows only basic codec not xvid, divx" perhaps AE5 may actually be correct. Since I don't actually know how all this works, I'm only suggesting you satisfy yourself about the terminology and names used.
Sorry, not much help, only hope there is some use in pointing this out.
Hi.... i been tring to put my cs5 ae into work but nothing i find works... i have delete divx, qt x, little snitch and noting. He sometimes opens some time not. I delete the preference once o twice to make it works and sometimes that works sometimes not. I have a osx 10.6.4, AE 10.0.1, and this is the error that came. Hope can help...

Sorry - I don't work with MAC's, but your crash report may be telling you something important. It states: "incorrect checksum for freed object...". An 'object" is merely a defined piece of memory that is allocated to an application under particular rules. When the application is done it "frees" the memory back to the OS for reuse, and cannot touch it again. Note the error text goes on to speculate: "object was probably modified after being freed."
Those numbered lines are sample points, or "events", within the software going backward in time, which gives you a picture of what it was doing. You will not be able to decipher them because the names used are software source code, something which you don't have in front of you. But sometimes the names offer subtle clues. Dylib are "dynamic libraries" - code units that are called by the application. You can't assume that line 0 CAUSED the problem, only that it was what was active at the time the problem finally caused the crash. (What is Line 10?)
You might have to believe that either the application (likely one of the plug-ins) tried to write into that object AFTER it had released it, or that there is a memory hardware error causing the memory of that object to change giving the checksum error.
You can't debug the software but you can at least run a memory diagnostic to eliminate that as being the problem.
Sorry, not much help.
Are you using any plug-ins for After Effects? Again, I don't use Mac's but even for PC's they say some plug-ins (that worked with AE versions prior to CS5) need to be updated in order to work with AE CS5. (Just a guess but I thought to mention it anyway.) Also, is your Photoshop version CS5?
Since your memory is OK, I suggest you study all your related products and versions to see whether there is a compatibility problem with any of them. Sorry, I'm just guessing, but your crashes are too often; there must be a clear and solid answer that will help you.
Try going to Adobe's AE forum at this link: http://forums.adobe.com/community/aftereffects_general_discussion. You will find very good help there. If you need to post and don't have an account, create one, they are free.
I´ve had the same problem on 64 bit Win7. AE CS5 freezes at startup, splash dialog says "Initializing Mediacore" and nothing happens.
I emptied the mediacore-folder (Program/Adobe/Adobe After Effects CS5/Support Files/(Media Core plug-ins)/Common) and copy/pasted all of the files to a folder on my desktop. After that I was able to start After Effect. Then I copy/pasted the files back in the Media Core Folder, one by one, and started After Effects each time. When the file "ImporterRED" was added back in the Media Core Folder, After Effects didn´t start and the splash dialog once again froze at "Initializing Mediacore". I removed the "ImporterRED" and After Effects started.
My only dilemma right now is that Adobe Premiere won´t start. Just as before I removed the ImporterRED-file, Premiere freezes at startup, a splash dialog says "Loading ImporterRED.prm" and nothing happens. But I guess that´s another problem...
Understood. Do you think this was something you likely installed fairly recently? (If it was months ago a newer version of the component may have fixed the problem by now and then I wouldn't be able to repeat it).
If you still have the problematic component somewhere we could get info on it and see what version it was.
I tried to email you the file but it bounced. Send me an email and I'll shoot it to you. Mine's firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi all,
My solution was attributable to my firewall (Microsoft Defender) blocking TCP connections to QuckTime - in my case I first noticed this when opening Encore. Here's the steps that resolved my problems on CS5, Windows 7, 64 bit:
I've tried everything, adding all pf the suggestions to my firewall list, searched for any faulty quicktime files but AfterFX AND Premiere won't work
AfterFX because of the mediacore, Premiere Pro because of ImporterRed. Even when I disable my firewall. (I still have Microsoft Security Essentials running, does anyone have any experience with this?)
Is there a proper sollution for this problem because this is really unacceptable.
I'm on a win 7, 64 bit machine.
Hey SenorCocos.
Just like you, I had myself a dysfunctional AE & PR on Win 7, 64-bit, stuck at MediaCore, etc. Either I could manage to get PR running with AE down, or, AE running with PR down. After days of thread busting, trial and error, I finaly killed the dynamiclinkmanager.exe by renaming the file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink\CS5.5\dynamiclinkmanager.exe
Oh, and I have also disabled these:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5\Plug-ins\Common\ImporterQuickTime.prm
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5\Plug-ins\Common\ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm
Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5\Plug-ins\Common\ImporterQuickTime.prm
Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5\Plug-ins\Common\ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm
Now both AE & PR actually start up without the need to phrack up any firewall settings at all. I guess it has not been the best and the brightest at work when it comes to this 'feature'.
Mine froze at mediacore as well and I traced the problem to my windows temporary file location. So I went to CONTROL PANEL -> SYSTEM -> ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS -> ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES and then set both TEMP and TMP to C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Local\Temp
It will be different depending on yoru username.
I believe the problem may have been that the After Effects disk cache location was the same as the windows temp location... maybe a conflict or something.
I am trying to run Adobe After Effects cs6 on windows x64 bit , but it still hangs at "Initializing MediaCore." This is a huge problem in my schedule and I need a quick solution.
I have tried so far:
- Removing all third-party plug-ins
- (I would have tried this but for some reason I do not have the "QT32 Server" file in my task manager.) Attempted to delete QT32 Server
- Closing program completely, restarting computer
- Giving the program almost 3 hours to load
None of these "solutions" had any effects as I was still hung out on the Initializing MediaCore Screen
Please help!
Also, whenever I click on the loading image for AE, it says the program is "Not Responding."
Could this at all help?
Be sure to read this and work through the troubleshooting steps there:

Hi everyone, been quite a while since I was last on here since I was using Vista (yeah, I know) for the longest time. But now I'm back.
Anyway, I recently reinstalled Sabayon 8 GNOME and all is well, even my Belkin wireless N adapter works fine so no need to tinker around with ndiswrapper like I had to in Fedora or Chakra.
But one major issue I've noticed is the CPU is under constant strain, even though only about half my 1GB RAM is being used (I usually have a 2GB set but it's being sent back from Corsair because it was defective).
This is most noticable when I'm playing music in Exaile and trying to do anything else, like browse the Internet through Firefox or Chromium. When the playback is paused or stopped, for the most part everything runs fine. I've noticed however that regardless of whether music is playing or not, load jumps about 20-30% just from switching between windows.
My specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1GB Companion or something generic RAM made in the US
ATi HD Radeon 3650 AGP 512MB
Cooler Master 500W PSU
Lame Biostar mobo
Lil' help?

Mar 24, 201310I was hesitant to see this movie, as the ones done in the early 2000's were exceptional. This version did not disappointing me, showing the early life of Peter Parker that was based more closely on the comics than the original that starred Tobey McGuire.
Jul 6, 20129
Jul 15, 20129I loved this film. Some people said that it was too soon for a reboot, but really it offered a brand new look on the hero. The cast was brilliant, particularly Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in the lead roles. It had some awesome action scenes and the Lizard was well done. Awesome film! Definetely brushes off the cobwebs from Spider-Man 3.
Mar 2, 201310
Aug 11, 201210
Aug 14, 201210An excellent film, creative, good acting, great storyline and a good dose of emotion. The hero comes very close to human, he makes mistakes, gets hurt, suffering, one of the best films of the spider.
Jul 6, 201210I found better this Spider-man than that of Sam Raimi. Meanwhile, I liked how they dealt with the psychology of Peter Parker, I liked the atmosphere are very dark and I loved the mystery that lies in the disappearance of Peter's parents (I also found the best costume that looks more amateur). Now could start a new trilogy and I'm happier this way because they are facing in the world of Spider-man.
Dec 9, 20129A superb Spidey film, as good as Spiderman 1+2 I thought, if not a little better. Just an all round good film and exactly what you want it to be. The 'web shooting machines (can't be bothered to google technical term) on his wrists are a geeky and therefore pleasurable addition. How couldn't you enjoy seeing a pink flash every time he fires a web?

Sep 2, 201210What could have been done to make the movie better? Absolutely nothing. The Amazing Spider-man is a fantastic movie, the best movie in months, and the best superhero movie since The Avengers. It was even better than Chronicle. My point is, The Amazing Spider-man was a great movie that you should see immediately.
Jul 3, 20129This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Jul 4, 20129Way better than the previous Spider-man films. Much improved screenplay, beyond blockbuster-quality-acting. Visual effects were clean. Cinematography was commendable.

Apr 20, 20139Does "The Amazing Spider-Man" do anything new to movies? Well, no. But the genres that exist are all in there. The movie has its moments of humor, horror, romance, action, adventure, thriller, it has simply everything, and the way they used all that to make a superhero movie is simply one of the best ways they could use it.

Jul 3, 201210I just finished watching the midnight showing and I can proudly say that this movie is an improvement over the previous ones. The way he gets his powers and why he has them are much more explained. The villain is amazing and the actors are great. There's also some comedy which put together with everything else makes this a fantastic movie.
Aug 21, 20129I expected less from this movie, but it was well made and deep and I'm willing to rewatch it. The Amazing Spider-Man is very entertaining and there isn't anything really bad about it

Dec 29, 20129Well, I really loved it. I wasn't keen on these Marvel heroes like Spider-man or Hulk, but I liked this movie, and it attracted me. I just wanted to keep on watching. I also like when things are realistic.
Jul 4, 20129Awesome movie! This was a great addition to the grand collection of Marvel movies. Great action, great background on Parkers story and even a great Stan Lee scene!
Aug 20, 20129After the atrocity that was spider man 3 i didn't know what to expect from this one. Not only can I safely say that this redeems itself for that steaming pile of pig s**t I can also say that this is a great super hero movie in its own right and in my opinion is better than The Dark Knight Rises. (But not quite as good as The Avengers, The Dark Knight or Spider Man 2)
Aug 29, 20129
Aug 1, 20129I watched this recently, and I think 80% of the time the movie was catching your eye, so you don't really ever get bored, also funny sometimes. (Sometimes, not a lot)

Sep 17, 201210Best Spider-man movie so far! The acting,special effects,Villain were all great and I can't wait to see the Green Goblin in the next movie. This will probably go down as one of the greatest movie franchises if they keep up the standard. 10/10

Jul 7, 20129Andrew Garfield delivers. He's the Peter Parker we should have had in the first place. Better than Spider-Man 1, 2, and 3 combined. Went to see this with my son and a friend of ours and we left talking about how awesome it was. "Better than The Avengers?", I asked. They said yes. Me, I'm not sure if I'd go that far...
Apr 8, 201310The Amazing Spider-Man is the Spider-Man film that we were all waiting to see. It has a fantastic cast that all give great performances, a great score to accompany it, and great action sequences that can only be put as simply: amazing.
Aug 2, 201210Best Spider-Man yet. The younger casting of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone paid off big time! They were much more believable in their roles than the Spider-Man franchise has ever given us. Though the villain was not that exciting, this is the first superhero movie that I've ever seen that I honestly want to see again. Usually the genre is a little boring to me, but this movie is top-notch.

Jul 3, 201210Fantastic movie! It kept my attention from beginning to end, which is hard to do for a movie that is over 2 hours long! The story was the best ever for Spider-Man, and everything was easy to understand and follow. Intense action sequences and very little to no swearing. Be sure to stay through half of the credits, there is a surprise at the end for a plot for a sequel!

Jul 3, 20129It was truly amazing. I love the first 2 Spider-man movies, so I'm glad the new spider-man franchise started that good. Great performances, effects and action, and the best 3D since Avatar.

Jul 20, 20129Thing that i like in this movie is those new stuff like the spider web!
And those dodging skill ! this movie is 90% according to the Comic book!
And a some moral value for a teenager who use his power randomly.
Like those scene in school , maybe in the future he will learn 'great power comes with great responsibility'
Well , A good movie for COMIC BOOK fans! -
Aug 10, 201210A true origin movie!!! The actors are much better and it goes much more in depth with the story of Spiderman. Get ready, because when this DVD comes out throw out those horrendous Toby McGuire Spiderman movies and make space for the real Spiderman!!!
Jul 3, 20129Dont even bother reading the extremely negative reviews. I was very skeptical going in, but what a hell of a start for a new trilogy. The best part about this fresh start, is the 'darker' direction Sony decided to roll with. And as for Garfield, I'm actually surprised at his performance. Any true Marvel fan will appreciate this movie. Well done. Can't WAIT for the Venom tie in.
Jul 6, 20129
Jul 7, 20129This Movie was great, the new Spidey was awesome even with all the changes, Its a totally new FUNNY, POWERFULL,REALISTIC Spiderman, I was hoping to see an Avengers 2 clue but I thik we have to wait
ooo and It has a secret scene after a Few credits
It was trully AMAZING -
Jul 12, 20129
Jul 15, 20129marc webb's new version spider-man is more attractive than sam raimi's trilogy. loved it, also it's very funny! it remains loyal to original comic books so i'll watch again as soon as possible!!

Jul 21, 201210Amazing. The best of the Spider Man's movies. But I wanna see Mary Jane and Gwen in a fight for Peter in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, I'd appreciate that :)
Jul 23, 201210This movie had little bit of everything. I found Garfield's Peter Parker very relatable. The chemistry between him and Stone's Gwen Stacy was much better than McGuire's Peter and Durst's MJ in Raimi's trilogy.

Jun 17, 20139This may not be the best Spider-Man film, but its an excellent reboot. The cast is definetely one of the best. The movie kills it with action, emotion and origin. It's a retelling of Spider-Man but in a way that has secrets.
I give TASM a 9/10 -
Jul 12, 201210Wow!!! This movie so captures the essence of Spider Man! The cast is soo amazing, you care about what happens the entire movie. Do yourself a favor and throw the 3 Sam Raimi Spidermans in the garbage.
Jul 3, 20129
Jul 20, 201210I was very sceptical about seeing this reboot so soon after the last franchise did a good job with Toby at the helm of Spidey. I never heard of Andrew Garfield before this movie, but I thought he did an amazing job at portraying "youth angst". This is a must see even if you liked the previous versions!
Jul 5, 201210
Jul 5, 20129defiantly worth t least a seven out of ten. I thought that no super hero movie I saw would seem any good after watching the avengers, but this while not as god as the avengers, is still a decent movie, and in my opinion better than the original. It is a worthy contender for the dark knight rise, but I don't expect it will be as good as that will. I can't really be bothered to go into detail
Jul 20, 201210Fantastic movie for comic fans. Better storytelling and characterization than the recent Spiderman movies in my humble opinion. If you've never seen a Spiderman movie, watch this one and skip the others. I hope this one becomes a franchise.
Jul 7, 201210Brought to you from Stan Lee's Marvel comic: The Amazing Spider-man, this film production re-imagines all three previous movies into one master piece, in which incredible direction and presentation flows freely. Andrew Garfield makes debut as he takes the costume of his childhood hero, with extremely amazing performance.
Jul 3, 20129
Jul 3, 201210This film was excellent. Superb acting, on par with the comics, very emotional, and 'amazing' action. Garfield puts Tobey to shame. The film was tainted by over-marketing though, a mistake I pray Sony does not commit again.
Oct 24, 201210Unlike the original triology movies, actually follows and doesn't spit on, Stan Lee's created universe! That's about all I can say about this movie other than it having a much better cast too - each actor looks and plays the roles much better than the predecessors - without a doubt about it!

Jul 3, 20129I'm very happy to say that the reboot of spiderman follows the comics much more firmly in the way spiderman developed his powers, the general storyline with him being inspired to be a hero, and the witty comedy directed at bad guys. With an ending some will hate and others will love, this spiderman movie may be the best of them all.
Jul 3, 20129
Jul 3, 201210
Jul 3, 201210Everything about this movie is better than and more creative than any Spider-Man movie before it. Andrew Garfield is a fantastic Parker and a superb Spider-Man. Definitely Amazing!
70This might be a fun summer blockbuster if only it even remotely needed to exist.
30In short, the character is a lot like the way Stan Lee first envisioned him, but the trilogy's screenwriter Steve Ditko would probably loathe this new, unsatisfying, and hollow-feeling entry into the new cinematic Marvel Universe.
60On the whole, it's passable stuff, a surprise, given how mechanical the masked character seemed.

Tools and Options
Detailed Description of Industry Classifications
Furniture and Related Product Manufacturing
NAICS #337 | Industries in the Furniture and Related Product Manufacturing subsector make furniture and related articles, such as mattresses, window blinds, cabinets, and fixtures. The processes used in the manufacture of furniture include the cutting, bending, molding, laminating, and assembly of such materials as wood, metal, glass, plastics, and rattan. However, the production process for furniture is not solely bending metal, cutting and shaping wood, or extruding and molding plastics. Design and fashion trends play an important part in the production of furniture. The integrated design of the article for both esthetic and functional qualities is also a major part of the process of manufacturing furniture. Design services may be performed by the furniture establishment's work force or may be purchased from industrial designers.
Furniture may be made of any material, but the most common ones used in North America are metal and wood. Furniture manufacturing establishments may specialize in making articles primarily from one material. Some of the equipment required to make a wooden table, for example, is different from that used to make a metal one. However, furniture is usually made from several materials. A wooden table might have metal brackets, and a wooden chair a fabric or plastics seat. Therefore, in NAICS, furniture initially is classified based on the type of furniture (application for which it is designed) rather than the material used. For example, an upholstered sofa is treated as household furniture, although it may also be used in hotels or offices.
When classifying furniture according to the component material from which it is made, furniture made from more than one material is classified based on the material used in the frame, or if there is no frame, the predominant component material. Upholstered household furniture (excluding kitchen and dining room chairs with upholstered seats) is classified without regard to the frame material. Kitchen or dining room chairs with upholstered seats are classified according to the frame material.
Furniture may be made on a stock or custom basis and may be shipped assembled or unassembled (i.e., knockdown). The manufacture of furniture parts and frames is included in this subsector.
Some of the processes used in furniture manufacturing are similar to processes that are used in other segments of manufacturing. For example, cutting and assembly occurs in the production of wood trusses that are classified in Subsector 321, Wood Product Manufacturing. However, the multiple processes that distinguish wood furniture manufacturing from wood product manufacturing warrant inclusion of wooden furniture manufacturing in the Furniture and Related Product Manufacturing subsector. Metal furniture manufacturing uses techniques that are also employed in the manufacturing of roll-formed products classified in Subsector 332, Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing. The molding process for plastics furniture is similar to the molding of other plastics products. However, plastics furniture producing establishments tend to specialize in furniture.
NAICS attempts to keep furniture manufacturing together, but there are two notable exceptions: seating for transportation equipment and laboratory and hospital furniture. These exceptions are related to that fact that some of the aspects of the production process for these products, primarily the design, are highly integrated with that of other manufactured goods, namely motor vehicles and health equipment.
Furniture Merchant Wholesalers
NAICS #42321 | This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in the merchant wholesale distribution of furniture (except hospital beds, medical furniture, and drafting tables). Merchant wholesale distribution of partitions, shelving, lockers, and store fixtures--are classified in Industry 423440, Other Commercial Equipment Merchant Wholesalers; Merchant wholesale distribution of hospital beds and medical furniture--are classified in Industry 423450, Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers; and Merchant wholesale distribution of drafting tables--are classified in Industry 423490, Other Professional Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. and#8212; Lake Tahoe will be off limits moving forward for the Nevada black bear hunt, which will enter its second season later this year.
In a 6-3 vote Saturday, the Nevada Wildlife Commission voted to prohibit black-bear hunting on the Nevada side of the Lake Tahoe Basin, according to an Associated Press article by Martin Griffith.
Ever since the idea of a black bear hunt in Nevada was first offered in 2010, it has been challenged heavily by pro-wildlife groups, with NoBearHuntNV.org leading the way, arguing that hunting bear in the Tahoe Basin poses dangers to the avid recreation community here and a detriment to an economy that relies on tourism dollars.
Bear hunting still will be allowed in other areas of western Nevada.
According to the AP, Nevada Department of Wildlife spokeswoman Teresa Moiola said there were no reports of conflicts with other users during the stateand#8217;s inaugural bear hunt in 2011 when 14 bruins were killed.
Quotas wonand#8217;t be decided until May, said NDOW spokesman Chris Healy in an interview before Saturdayand#8217;s hearing.
In related news, California has already launched quotas and boundaries for its 2012 hunt.
This yearand#8217;s quota in California is 1,700 bears. The boundaries of the hunt range from the Oregon border all the way to Southern California.
Last year in California, 1,264 bears were killed by hunters.

Interesting you mention that, I've seen color picture postcards of the Wasp on display at the World's Fair in, iirc, Chicago and the car appears red. Looking back at old film, perhaps it's just the age of the film, but the car appears an awfully dark shade of gray (in the black and white film) to be such a bright yellow.Originally posted by Guy:

Some say the Wasp was orange, based in large part on the darkness in shade when it appears in old photographs.
I have a hard time believing it for several reasons.
Old film showing US Army Air Corps aircraft, sporting colors we know were standardized, don't look the proper shade for those colors. It's old film, so it's nearly impossible to rely on it's color values with any confidence.
The second reason is that the Wasp earned the nickname "The Yellowjacket" before it came to Indy. It's unlikely that color would show up in the nickname if the car wasn't some shade of yellow.
Lastly, yellow was a color Marmon used on their production cars in 1910 (when the Wasp was built) and 1911. Orange was not. It's doubtful Marmon would have purposefully purchased orange paint when they had ample stocks of yellow on hand, allowing them to use Harroun's and Dawson's Marmons to promote sales of the Marmon 32 production car (hence Harroun's car #).
But it's one of those insoluable questions we all like to rehash.

Here's a 1930 Kodak ad that explains why light colors can look dark in B&W photos - it's the difference between regular and panchromatic film: 1930 Kodak panchromatic film ad

Very interesting info. Sadly many the papers of the day failed to mention the color. Clymers yearbook covering 1909-46 makes no mention of the color(.
There is still one other discrepency. The car in the museum has a black number with red outline. Given the info in the Kodak ad, red should come out almost black, but photos of the wasp show the number with a light (if not white) outline.

Thanks for the information, Tom. The Wasp will always be yellow to me. I love these "Indys Mysteries" things like this. You guys in the nostalgia forum are a treasure chest. History is what makes Indy so great and I've learned a lot just reading everybody's posts. Thanks.
Interesting, I just posted on the Open Wheel Modeling forum to... but here in the Marmon Model 32... that Marmon chose the #32 on the Wasp to promote...
We know for sure that the Marmon had WHITE Firestone Tires.

It is my understanding that Harroun saw a restoration of the Wasp before he died and said the yellow color was correct as he remembered it.

JMHO of course but why would they paint it orange then call it a Wasp?
If it was Orange in 1911 why would they decide to restore it but paint it an entirely differnet color? Dont forget there were still many many people around who would have rememeberd what it was supposed to look like

I would say she is that beautiful shade I call Piper Cub Yellow, or Canary Yellow. She is not Orange, that much I know.
Here is a color video picture from our 1937 color home movie film.
It was yellow in 1937. (The car does not have the same brightness to it as it appears today, but the film is 75 years old and has lost some of its color)
BTW, this is part of our latest DVD that will be released in May (Hopefully) which covers the years 1925-1941. I will post more info later about this DVD.

I am with you guys, I still believe it was yellow, "but" what if the man himself said he remembered it being more orange? This is from a post on the OWM forum...
I believe that if you read page two of the "Paper Wasp" plans from Rod & Custom where they would have been able to talk with Ray Harroun back in 1965 and they state that in his memory the car was panted a "dark orange" and that the wasp name was due to the shape of the tail.
If you see pics of the Wasp prior to restoration it appeared to be a pale yellow color. Supposedly Ray Harroun said something to the effect that the 'car was more orange'. I take it to mean that the shade of yellow was more orange-ish, not that the car was orange. The current color is more 'orange-ish' than the pale yellow it had been. But it was called the Wasp because of it's stinger-like tail, not it's color.
And gforcewill posts the biggest photo in the history of TrackForum...I'm surprised there's enough bandwidth available to display it on my monitor. :P
