December 1992; reissued September 2002
Historical Romance
Wrapping up the trilogy that began with Silk and Shadows and Silk and Secrets, Veils of Silk was a Rita finalist and bestseller when first released in December 1992. Veils is a grand adventure story set in a fascinating, exotic world. It's also one of my most powerfully emotional romances with a hero who has barely survived hell and a brave, passionate heroine who hasn't had an easy time herself.
Gaunt and wearing an eye patch, Army Major Ian Cameron returns to India after being freed from horrendous captivity in Central Asia. Thoughts of his beautiful fiancée helped him survive his imprisonment, but a lot can happen when a man has supposedly been dead for two years, and his return brings him face to face with how much he has lost.
An unexpected inheritance gives him the opportunity to return home to Scotland and begin a new life. First, though, he must fulfill the dying wish of the Russian officer who had shared his captivity by delivering the colonel's journal to his niece, Larissa Alexandrovna Karelian.
The daughter of tempestuous Russian aristocrats, Laura Stephenson loved her quiet English stepfather and was happy to follow him to India as companion and hostess. His death leaves her adrift—until a handsome, haunted Scot appears to deliver her uncle's journal.
Startled to find a grown woman rather than a little girl, Ian quickly realizes that Laura is uniquely qualified to be his wife in an unconventional marriage. She accepts his offer and together they begin the long journey home to Britain with a side trip to the mountains to retrieve the belongings her uncle left with a friendly maharajah. In the process, they are swept into an adventure that threatens the future of India, and brings them together with a love and passion that is more than either of them had dared dream of.
"Veils of Silk is terrific. Haunting. Wonderful characterization and a true sense that something is really at stake. First-rate work."
--Susan Elizabeth Phillips, author of Breathing Room
"Like Laura and Ian, you will be drawn into a dangerous web of intrigue and desire. Ms. Putney has written not only a stunning romance, but a love story that explores her characters' psychological makeup and how they change through love….A mesmerizing, exotic romance."
--Romantic Times
"One of the most sensual stories I have read in quite a while….I couldn't put the book down!"
--Affaire de Coeur

text: Just curious, where is standover height measured on a frame with a sloping top tube? Many of the cross frames appear to be too tall for me. I'm thinking of building up a cross bike but the geometries of many frames I have looked at don't compare at all to my classic frame roadie, not that I expected them to. My 49cm roadie fits perfectly but I imagine that I would want a bit more clearance for racing purposes. Thanks for helping.

Brian Selznick Author of the Month Transcript
About this book
Our January Author of the Month, Brian Selznick, author of the 2008 Caldecott Medal-winning illustrated novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret, joined Scholastic to answer some student questions.He also gives some suggestions for discussion topics that teachers can use too!
Rlotto asks: Our parent child book club is reading Hugo Cabret. What would be some very important questions or discussions we shouldn't skip over?
Let's see, what would be some good questions? How about:
- Why is the story told partly with pictures?
- How is the book like a silent movie?
- Is it ok to steal if you feel you have no other choice?
- Which characters do you relate to most?
- Hugo's special skill is fixing machines; do you have a special skill?
- Can you think of other fictional stories that are based on historical facts (almost everything about Melies in the book is true).
- It might also be fun to find a DVD of A Trip to the Moon and watch it with the book club. Flicker Alley made a great collection of all his surviving films (almost 300). You can buy them, Netflix them, or check them out from a library. Melies is the star of the movie, as well as the director and designer. That might be fun to talk about as well.
Books102 asks: Why are there so many pictures in The Invention of Hugo Cabret instead of words?
I wanted the book to read like a movie because the story is very much about the history of cinema. I used different techniques from film, like close ups, edits, pans, long shots, to help tell the story.
Thejackman asks: Hi. How are you? I am your biggest fan. Why did you make Georges Melies mean?
Georges Melies is based on a real person. He was once a famous film maker, and he ended up losing all his money and worked at a cold dreary toy booth in a train station in Paris. I tried to imagine how sad and upsetting that would be for him, and I imagined that he would become mean because he was so unhappy.
AliceS12 asks: What do you think would have happened to Hugo if he hadn't met Georges or Isabelle? Do you think he would have ended up in an orphanage?
I don't know what would have happened to Hugo if he hadn't met Georges or Isabelle! What do you think would have happened to him? Do you think he would have ended up in an orphanage? I hope not! That was the main thing that Hugo feared. Do you think something else could have happened to him?
Susanstan asks: You came to our school whenWaterhouse Hawkins was released. We loved you then and we love you now. My question for you is when the movie of Hugo Cabret is coming out. I loved how your book was like a movie. I only hope that the movie will do your book justice. A fantastic black and white movie would be great to see.
There is a team of people working on making Hugo into a movie right now! I don't know how long it's going to take, but I think it is going to be good. I don't think it will be a black and white movie, but hopefully there will be parts that are black and white, and lots of references to old films. It's going to be exciting to see the Hugo's world come to life on screen, from the interior of the train station walls to the Film Academy Library and the theater where Melies has his tribute. It will be fun to have a book about movies become a movie!
Poseystar asks: I loved how the pictures in Hugo Cabret tell the story as much as the words. Will you make another book like this with different characters?
Thanks Poseystar! I am working on a new book right now that will also be told with words and pictures, but it's going to be very different than Hugo. Hugo took me two and a half years to create, and it was really hard to do. A lot of the time I didn't know if the whole thing was going to work because it felt so complicated. That's where I'm at with the new book, not sure if it's all going to come together! But I like the ideas and the characters so I'm going to keep working on it and hopefully it'll be done in about two years!

#17 DePaul Rolls Past Women's Basketball, 97-54
Nov. 30, 2004
Chicago, Ill. - DePaul junior forward and Pre-Season All-American candidate Khara Smith shot a perfect 9-for-9 from the field and posted a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds in 21 minutes of action as the No. 17 Blue Demons rolled past the University of Illinois at Chicago women's basketball team for the 97-54 non-conference victory at the DePaul Athletic Center on Tuesday night.
Smith led four players in double-figures for DePaul, followed by Charlene Smith (17 points), Jenna Rubino (14 points) and Caprice Smith (11 points).
With the victory, DePaul remains undefeated at 5-0, while the Flames fall to 1-4 on the campaign.
The Blue Demons dominated on the glass, as they recorded 49 rebounds to the Flames' 22. DePaul nearly matched UIC's total rebound output with 21 offensive caroms on the evening.
For the game, DePaul shot a blistering 56.9% (37-for-65), while its five starters connected at a 66.7% clip (26-for-39). The Blue Demons were solid from beyond the three-point arc, knocking down 45% (9-for-20) of their attempts.
UIC sophomore forward Jacquay Holmes led the Flames with a career-high 19 points, while teammate Chrissy Dizon chipped in 10 points.
UIC will be back in action on Thursday evening, as they will travel to Charleston, Ill., to square off with the Eastern Illinois Panthers at 7:00 p.m.

First-ever Hyperspectral Images of Earth's Auroras
New camera provides tantalizing clues of new atmospheric phenomenon
Hoping to expand our understanding of auroras and other fleeting atmospheric events, a team of space-weather researchers designed and built NORUSCA II, a new camera with unprecedented capabilities that can simultaneously image multiple spectral bands, in essence different wavelengths or colors, of light. The camera was tested at the Kjell Henriksen Observatory (KHO) in Svalbard, Norway, where it produced the first-ever hyperspectral images of auroras—commonly referred to as "the Northern (or Southern) Lights"—and may already have revealed a previously unknown atmospheric phenomenon.

Details on the camera and the results from its first images were published today in the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal Optics Express.
Auroras, nature's celestial fireworks, are created when charged particles from the Sun penetrate Earth's magnetic field. These shimmering displays in the night sky reveal important information about the Earth-Sun system and the way our planet responds to powerful solar storms. Current-generation cameras, however, are simply light buckets—meaning they collect all the light together into one image—and lack the ability to separately capture and analyze multiple slivers of the visible spectrum. That means if researchers want to study auroras by looking at specific bands or a small portion of the spectrum they would have to use a series of filters to block out the unwanted wavelengths.
The new NORUSCA II hyperspectral camera achieves the same result without any moving parts, using its advanced optics to switch among all of its 41 separate optical bands in a matter of microseconds, orders of magnitude faster than an ordinary camera. This opens up new possibilities for discovery by combining specific bands of the same ethereal phenomenon into one image, revealing previously hidden details.
"A standard filter wheel camera that typically uses six interference filters will not be able to spin the wheel fast enough compared to the NORUSCA II camera," said Fred Sigernes of the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS), Norway. "This makes the new hyperspectral capability particularly useful for spectroscopy, because it can detect specific atmospheric constituents by their unique fingerprint, or wavelengths, in the light they emit." These spectral signatures can then reveal subtle changes in atmospheric behavior, such as the ionization of gases during auroras. This form of multispectral imaging also will enable scientists to better classify auroras from background sky emissions and study the way they cluster in the atmosphere.
A New Phenomenon
On Jan. 24, 2012, during the inaugural research campaign of NORUSCA II, a major solar flare jettisoned a burst of high-energy particles known as a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). The CME eventually slammed into Earth's magnetic field, producing magnificent auroras and a chance to fully test the new camera.

text: OK, as I upgrade parts on my Lemond I'm starting to get a good selection of parts laying around the old shed. With my wife being a teacher, I should get to ride to work quite a bit this summer. This being the case I was thinking it might be a good idea (and fun) to build a commuter bike to ride. Living in Florida we get alot of wet weather in the summer, so I'm less than thrilled about riding my baby in that kind of mess. So, if building from scratch, what would be the things to look for in regard to reliability and resistance to bad weather?

Hands-on video: Sony Xperia PLAY
Hey everyone. As a special treat we are going to spend the next week looking at the Sony Xperia PLAY and some of its games. Welcome to PLAY week. Let's start out by taking a gander at the device itself.
Basic features include the four standard Android buttons of back, home, options, and search. They are actual traditional buttons instead of touch sensor buttons, and I prefer it that way. The four-inch screen is crisp and clear, and one of the better touchscreens I've ever played on. Everything I played looked great in the 854x480 resolution. You can see the front facing camera right above the Sony logo there. On the back side you can see the back facing camera along with a photo and video light to make it more versatile. The phone sports a 5.1-megapixel camera which looks great. As you can see in these pics of my current entertainment set up, the photos are high res and sharp. The speakers are also loud and clear, and great for both gaming and music. All the other standard stuff is here and I'd rather not just list off all the specs and basic functions. This is the first official PlayStation phone, so let's get to the good stuff.
The slide out controller is awesome, featuring a D-pad, options button, start and select buttons, dual touch-sticks, and of course, the iconic PlayStation face buttons. On the side of the phone next to the volume are the left and right shoulder buttons. All the buttons feel great, and it's a blast to play games with them. The device has a nice heft to it and is comfortable to hold. This basically just feels like my Nexus One mashed together with a PlayStation controller, but I'm perfectly OK with that. The phone comes pre-loaded with seven Xperia PLAY optimized games. These games are Madden NFL 11, Bruce Lee: Dragon Warrior, Asphalt 6: Adrenaline, The Sims 3, Star Battalion, Crash Bandicoot, and good old Tetris. All these games feel like legitimate console games outside of the graphics.
When you slide the gamepad out, the phone is kind enough to bring you directly to the Xperia PLAY app to look at your game library, as well as other games. The selection isn't too grand right now, but it's building quickly. Some games set to hit the device soon include mobile versions of Battlefield Bad Company 2 and the always addicting toy box that is Minecraft. Mobile Minecraft might be worth the price of admission alone. It's also great to play older apps that have been optimized for the PLAY. I hate virtual buttons for games. Not having something physical to touch and track with your hand is endlessly frustrating to me, and makes games clunky and difficult. I always felt that mobile devices were meant for touch and swipe games like Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, and not for arcade action games or shooters. But games like Age of Zombies feel great on the device, and the game Stellar Escape, which was exceedingly difficult due to the controls, now feels smooth and easily beatable thanks to the addition of physical controls. The phone comes with an 8GB SD card and is upgradable up to 32GB, which to me just means lots and lots of games.
The only thing that could make this phone better would be some real PSN connectivity and support. I have tons of PlayStation Classics and Minis on my PS3 which could work perfectly well on this phone, but you are required to re-buy any games that are released on both formats, which is a shame. I would love the ability to just jack into my PS3 and throw my digital copy of Final Fantasy VII on my phone, but I would need a PSP for that kind of feature.
I'm just a hardcore gamer that's nitpicking though, this is really a great phone for people like me who want their mobile gaming to feel more like their living room gaming. It looks and sounds great and has all the functionality of the Android OS. If you want to up the ante on your mobile gaming but you don't want to buy a separate device like a PSP or a Nintendo DS, this is definitely a phone to check out.

I can never quite decide how I want to make this cake…
There are no written laws, right? That's why baking is so gosh darn fun.
Obviously, this cake is all about the PB and Choc. It's that simple. And fattening.
There are so many ways to make it sinful. Add ganache or fudge frosting. Chop up some Reese's PB Cups for the top.
Every time I make it, the components are the same, but I shake it up a little. Never exactly the same twice. This time I added the PB cups. And I think I will every time.
This year, because it was my dear friend's cake I was making, I wanted to make sure I didn't mess it up. (When I'm pregnant, my baking is very unpredictable.)
I had an idea I wanted to try. I wanted to doctor a cake mix because I knew if all else failed, the cake would at least be okay. (Yes, I use cake mixes occasionally.)
It worked out really, really well. It tasted great.
Doctored Chocolate Cake
original recipe
For cake:
1 German Chocolate Cake mix (Duncan Hines is the one I used)
3 heaping Tbsp. cocoa powder
1 stick butter, cold and cut into 8 pieces (for food processor directions) OR melted (for mixer)
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
For Peanut Butter Mousse:
2 cups peanut butter (not natural)
8 oz. cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
For Fudge Icing:
1 stick butter
4 heaping Tbsp. cocoa powder
2-3 cups powdered sugar (may not need all of it)
1/2 cup heavy cream
For cake:
Preheat oven to suggested temperature on cake mix package–usually 350 degrees.
Grease the cake pans and dust with cocoa powder. (I used 8″ by 3″ round pans.)
Food processor directions:
Place the cake mix and cocoa powder in the bowl of an 11-cup (or larger) food processor.
Scatter the cold butter over the cake mix. Place top on food processor. Pulse until butter is completely incorporated into the cake mix. (It will look sort of like cornmeal–well, not really, but that's what all the recipes say when you cut the butter into the dry ingredients for biscuits, etc. No large pieces of butter should remain.)
Add the eggs and milk. Process for about 1 minute. The cake mix should be thick with no lumps.
Mixer directions:
Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix according to package directions.
Divide batter between the cake pans. Bake for recommended time according to package directions.
When cakes are fully baked, let them cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Run a thin knife around the edges to loosen and transfer the cakes to a wire rack to finish cooling.
For Peanut Butter Mousse:
Using an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter and cream cheese. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until combined.
It will be thick!
Clean the beaters and beat the heavy cream to soft peaks.
Fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter in two additions. (The purpose of the first addition of cream is to lighten the mousse a bit. You don't want it to deflate!)
Chill until ready to assemble the cake.
For Fudge Icing:
Place the butter in a large bowl and microwave for 1 minute, or until melted. Stir in the cocoa powder. Using an electric mixer, beat in part of the powdered sugar and a few tablespoons of the heavy cream. Add more powdered sugar and cream until icing is at a spreadable consistency.
To assemble the cake:
Split the cake layers horizontally–depending on how many layers you want to use. For this cake, there were two 8″ rounds that I split into half horizontally to create 4 layers of cake and three layers of filling.
Pipe or spread 1/4 of the PB mousse on the bottom layer. Top with next cake layer. Repeat with mousse and cake layers 2 more times, ending with piping or spreading the top most layer with the last of the mousse.
Frost the sides of the cake with the fudge icing. Garnish the cake with chopped peanut butter cups and/or chocolate shavings, if desired.
Enjoy it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a huge glass of milk.

text: BEFORE THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD OF THE STATE OF OREGON HEARINGS DIVISION Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division ) Docket No: SH91261 vs . ) ) Citation No M797404991 OWEN GLAZE CRANE & HOIST SERVICE ) Defendant ) OPINION AND ORDER A hearing was held on February 19, 1992 in Portland, Oregon. Plantiff was represented by J. Kevin Shuba. Owen A. Glaze appeared as the authorized representative for defendant, Owen Glaze Crane. Defendant requested a hearing challenging Citation M797404991. The citation concerns the use of safety equipment when exposed to a hazard. FINDINGS OF FACT Defendant was hired by Hoffman Construction Co. to erect a crane on a construction site in Salem for a new office building for the state. On May 8, 1991 a representative of plaintiff made a video of the work in progress at the construction site with the intent of making a training film. Based on this video and an inspection that took place the next day, the citation was issued. Defendant had five employees working on the crane erection project. Owen Glaze was on the job site, but was not working on the crane. The video shows the crane and the work activity. The horizontal portion of the crane (jib) was about 135145 feet from the ground. The section of the jib to the left of the vertical structure of the crane is the counterweight section. The floor of the counter weight section where the men are walking is a steel grate that extends from side to side. There is a chain across the back portion of the counterweight area. The men working on the crane were equipped with a safety belt and a 6 foot lanyard, a line with a hook used to fasten onto something to prevent a fall. The men shown sitting and working on the rail of the crane were tied off or hooked with the lanyard to a section of the crane. The video shows the men pulling electrical cable and walking on the counterweight jib. They were not tied off when doing this work. Hoffman Construction and Owen Glaze Hoist held a pre-job safety conference and discussed safety and fall protection. The safety officer for Hoffman Construction, William Hesselbacher, is a former employee of the plaintiff (7 years) and served as a compliance officer and employer construction consultant. He was aware the men were not tied off when walking on the jib and did not identify this as a hazard. Hoffman has used the Owen Glaze company on jobs before and after this citation and was aware the Glaze company did the work in the same manner as shown in the video. Hesselbacher testified that if he felt the work activity presented a hazard, he would have required that Glaze employees be tied off when walking on the jib. ULTIMATE FINDINGS OF FACT Walking on the steel grate floor of the counterweight job without a safety belt was not a hazard. Sitting on the rail of the counterweight job was a hazard. Defendant's employees were using safety equipment when exposed to a hazard. OPINION AND CONCLUSION Defendant is charged with violating OAR 436-40-030(2)(c) which provides: "(2) The employer shall take all reasonable means to require employees: (c) To use all means and methods, including but not limited to, ladders, scaffolds, guardrails, machine guards, safety belts and lifelines, that are necessary to safely accomplish all work where employees are exposed to a hazard: and..." No rule has been cited requiring fall protection when working on a crane or the circumstances when fall protection should be used when working on a crane. Employer has not been cited for failure to comply with a specific fall protection standard. Chapter 40 contains general provisions applicable to all workplaces and describes duties imposed on all employers. Plaintiff's position is that the men working on the jib should have been tied off at all times and defendants failure to require that is a violation of the standard. It is difficult to tell from the video whether the men were tied off when working sitting on the rail and when working above the grate. Randy Glaze, Owen's son, was working on the rail and testified he was tied off when doing this activity. Photograph Exhibits 8 and 9 illustrate how a picture from one angle might not show whether a worker was tied off. I have no reason to doubt Randy Glaze's testimony and accept his statement that they were tied off when working above the grate. Certainly, there is such apparent danger when working in that situation that it is easy to accept that safety protection was used. I find the employees working on the rail above the grate were wearing safety equipment. Plaintiff contends the back end of the counterweight jib was open-ended and created a hazard even greater than that presented by the sides. Randy Glaze testified there was a link chain on each side of the back end of the jib. It was difficult to observe this area from the ground, and the video doesn't resolve the question. I accept Randy Glaze's testimony and find the back area of the jib was not open-ended but was chained. The men were not tied off when walking back and forth on the counterweight jib doing their work such as pulling the electrical cable. The steel grate they were walking on went all the way across the bottom. The question is when they were doing this work were they exposed to a hazard warranting that they wear their safety belts and lanyards. Plaintiff's representatives testified this was hazardous and there was a danger of falling. Hesselbacher, who is experienced in safety matters, did not consider walking on the jib to be hazardous. He would have required fall protection be used if he felt it was. Owen Glaze has been in business since 1970 and represented that he has put up more cranes on the West Coast than anyone. He did not believe that a static line needed to be used when walking on the steel grate flooring. Plaintiff has the burden of showing a violation of the Standard. There is responsible testimony on both side of the hazardous exposure question when walking on the grate. Glaze and Hesselbacher, on behalf of Hoffman Construction, demonstrated that both companies are conscious of safety matters. They were aware of the method and manner of the work being performed and did not find it to be hazardous. If they did, the work would have been done in a different manner. These are well experienced people. Based on this testimony, I am not persuaded it was a hazard to walk on the steel grate of the counterweight jib without being tied off. In summary, the employees were using fall protection equipment when working on the jib above the floor level. Plaintiff has not established by a preponderance of evidence that it was hazardous to walk on the counterweight jib without using fall protection. These findings cover the work performed on May 8 and 9, 1991. Plaintiff has failed to establish a violation of OAR 437-40-030(2)(c). ORDER IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Citation No. M797404991 is vacated. NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES: You are entitled to judicial review of this Order. Proceedings for review are to be instituted by filing a petition to the State Court Administrator, Record Section, 1163 State Street, Salem, Oregon 97310, within 60 days following the date this Order is entered and served as shown hereon. The procedure for such judicial review is prescribed by ORS 183.480 and ORS 183.482. Entered at Portland, Oregon on MARCH 09, 1992 WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD By Albert L. Menashe Referee

The 2013 GRAND-AM Road Racing Season Begins for Corvette and Camaro
One could argue that racing season never ends, but most would agree that Rolex 24 at Daytona is the true kickoff to each new year of racing. This year also marks the last time the race will be run in its current format now that GRAND-AM will merge with the American Le Mans Series in 2014.
The 51st edition of this 24-hour endurance race will be a prime showcase for Team Chevy, as multiple teams will race Corvettes, Corvette Daytona Prototypes, and Camaro GT.Rs. This exhaustive race is a testament to teamwork, meticulous planning and determination that define Team Chevy.
The first race of the season is never absent of excitement or intrigue, and this year there will be many high profile drivers from other racing disciplines taking part in this epic 24-hour battle. Fresh off of his IZOD IndyCar® Series Driver's Championship, Ryan Hunter-Reay will get behind the wheel of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP car.
Team Chevy will look to build off of the success that the Corvette DP enjoyed after debuting last season, fielding three teams in the top five in the overall DP class standings, all while locking up the Manufacturer (Engine) Championship for Chevrolet.

In retrospect I think I'd probably say that the Corpse Bride project began with more of a "woof" than a "bang," or at the very least a kind of repetitive "yipping."
For those of you who are unfamiliar with either 19th century Russian folklore or IMDb, the storyline of the movie invokes an age-old tale of boy meets girl, boy gets engaged to girl, boy goes running off into the woods without girl, accidentally proposes to another woman who just happens to be a disturbingly-attractive corpse, and winds up married and stranded in the Land of the Dead.
For those of you who've been to Vegas the story may be vaguely familiar but features fewer zombies and better lighting.
After arriving below-ground, the main character is reunited with his long lost (a.k.a. long-dead) pet named Scraps.
During the pitch stage Blitz demonstrated one of the site concepts by modeling and animating this very lively dead dog for a Flash game of "catch" with the user.
The demo, along with some detailed site concepts and early pitch creative helped to sell our ideas to Warner Bros., and as legend has it you could hear Scraps barking up and down the WB hallways just after the presentation was sent.
Meet The Dead
The team that we assembled to work on the site was fairly diverse – we had 3D artists, Flash animators, programmers, and two designers all working in tandem to create one cohesive experience.
Occasionally this can be more of a hindrance than a help depending on the scale of the site, the proximity of all those involved, and general personality of the group. The fact that everything went as smoothly as it did was a testament to the flexibility of those people as a team and to the trust that Warner Bros. bestowed throughout the project.
Concepting and Design
Planning and designing for the site itself felt a little bit like carrying Tim Burton's precious baby into a new medium, except instead of a baby, we carried a decomposing bride, a humorless aristocracy, and lots and lots of dismembered corpses.
In keeping with the themes of the film, the site was to be divided into two sections: The Land of the Living and the Land of the Dead.
In a twist of irony that's characteristically "Tim Burton," the sets and characters from the Land of the Dead were portrayed as being vibrant, saturated, and emotionally vivid while those of The Living were lifeless, monochromatic and, well, "dead," in both color and personality.
In creating the site we felt it was very important to stay true to the spirit of the film, and we spent a lot of time trying to bring these color themes into the design.
Initial homepage comps were created with these concepts in mind, and after a final direction was chosen we worked to carry them throughout the site.
Creating The Experience
Much of the time designers hear the word "environmental" thrown around in concept meetings or brainstorms, give a quick roll of the eyes, and dismiss it as one of those generic terms that are used as filler when concrete direction is at a loss (much like "Make it pop," "Just sexify it," or "It can be anything - make it a starfish!").
However given the strong connections between the characters, the storyline, and the film's specific locations, this was one of the occasions in which it seemed appropriate.
That being said, we spent a lot of time reconstructing stylized versions of some of the film's relevant scenes from our available assets. This involved a great deal of compositing, touching up, cutting out, stamping in, and reworking from scratch - much of what we didn't have, we wound up piecing together or modeling, either in 2D or 3D.
Ultimately the design, animation, audio, characters, and placement of content were all intended to create an atmosphere for the site that (hopefully) resembled that of the actual movie.
Modeling and Animation
One of the biggest challenges in designing for the Corpse Bride site was re-creating the characters in 3D to give us more control over how they moved and reacted.
Blitz had artists working in Maya and 3ds Max to model and animate several of the characters, including Victor, the film's lead and reluctant groom.
The movie itself was created using maquettes and stop frame animation, so in rebuilding them we had to be somewhat reverent to insure that we were as accurate as possible.
Throughout the process Warner Bros. provided feedback to keep us true to the spirit of the film and the personality of its cast, but enough freedom to give the online experience a life of its own.
The Content and The Games
Before comping even began, we spent a lot of time planning out how content would be organized, selected, and accessed within the site itself.
In a nutshell, we decided to layer the information so that the "crucial" pieces would be readily available within the sections, while more selective content would require interaction from the user.
For example: to get some of the character printables one would have to play through a tune on the Music Room piano, accessing certain character bios would require a game of catch with Scraps in the Dead Square, and finding hidden videos in the Pub would necessitate a quick game of darts in which the amount of content received was linked to the final score.
Enough hidden information would be seeded within each section to give the site a sense of depth, and we hoped that each newly uncovered bit of information would encourage users to probe a scene for more.
In every case, however, the movie's storyline was the driving force behind the interaction.
The Framework
Blitz uses a proprietary Flash framework upon which many of our sites are based.
As the name implies, the system provides a general outline for handling standard and often-used processes in Flash ranging from load and transitions management to bandwidth profiling.
It employs numerous custom classes and debugging applications that extend Flash's native capabilities and allow us to streamline the development process without restricting each programmer's unique style.
Time that's usually spent rebuilding standard functions from scratch can be dedicated to polishing animation and interactivity.
Overall it's considered to be a supplement to the Flash coding environment rather than a replacement, and it allows multiple developers to work together in a relatively consistent way.
While I wouldn't exactly characterize the Corpse Bride site as being "low-bandwidth," in retrospect I don't think we would have cut out much more of the experience for the sake of faster downloads.
The framework and a great deal of optimization allowed us to create an experience that was bandwidth-profiled and optimized (specifically with respect to audio, video, loading management, and animation), without a huge sacrifice in quality or appearance.
Ultimately we felt that sometimes a good site is worth a bit of a wait, and hopefully that was true in this case.
At the end of it all
I can't think of any site that's beyond critique, and the Corpse Bride is certainly no exception.
I also doubt that any designer can finish a site, look back on the experience, and say that they wouldn't have done anything differently.
That being said, I _would_ say that the collaboration between the artists, animators, developers, project managers, and Warner Bros. themselves was more fluid and genuinely enjoyable than in almost any other project I've worked on, and at the end of it all when the coffee ran out and the last Red Bull was gone, we all felt privileged for the opportunity.

Blog For Sale: $62,663.94
Posted By Jim On 10/29/2005 @ 12:19 pm In General | 2 Comments
My blog [3] is worth $62,663.94.
How much is your blog worth? [4]
Hahahahaha, if I sold this blog, my old comic books, and baseball cards, I could retire today and buy myself a nice cozy bungalow in Bermuda (Technically, I couldn't because I'm not a native, but whatever). Heck, I'd would take an offer of even half of that "valuation!"
On a semi-related note, The Wealthy Blogger was sold a bunch of weeks ago for $2,000 and has since been abandoned. It's sad, I like reading the personal finance writings of Jeremy and Mike. (Incidentally, The Wealthy Blogger has a valuation of $0.00)

We admire the marriage between steel and concrete. So it is not a surprising occurrence for a non-engineer to be unable to understand the things we like. The confusion is further complicated when these non-engineers attempt to purchase gifts for engineers.
So, as a public service for the benefit of these confused souls, The Engineering Daily will attempt to demystify the mystery of what type of gifts one should get for engineers. For starters, no Turtle neck pullovers.
The first part of the series is, Gifts that cost less than $20.00.
Simple yet highly useful, the PI clock tells an engineer that you at least know what the basis of the profession is. As explained, engineers dislike anything petty. An alternative to this would be plain one with the usual 1,2,3. Such kinds of clocks are the ones that we used to break apart to see the inner workings after kindergarten class.
Speaking of clocks, the flying alarm clock is perhaps the best alarm ever created. The idea is simple: there is a detachable helicopter, which when the alarms sounds, flies away from it port. The only way to silence the alarm is to put it back to its port.
Engineer's like to build things. Especially the ones we also break apart. The Bridge Architecture is a great game for any engineer because it allows one to discover the wonders of building. With this you can build and display attractive models of 3 different bridge types – The Roman Arch, The Truss Bridge, and The Suspension Bridge.
When I was younger, I was sure that a boomerang defied the fundamental laws of gravitation. That was until I had my first boomerang experience. A experience that provoked in me a passionate desire to create something similar. I never succeeded, so I ended buying a commercial one which provided me with month of pleasure.
Make your engineer feel like the genius he is.
Price: $19.99
Nice collection… here is one more which can also be used to frighten the engineers. hahaha
I love the T-shirt. I need to drop some subtle hints for my birthday now
where i buy it??..plz send the places& shopes
Most engineer's like to read. What are some of the books one should get for them.
This guide really helps those clueless about you all.
Thank you.
They actually did an article on that very topic. Check out:

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The football team held a two-hour practice session on Monday at the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields as it begins preparations for this week's game at Mississippi. The Crimson Tide and Rebels are slated to kick off Saturday at 5 p.m. CT in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
"This is going to be a very challenging game for us," said Alabama head coach Nick Saban. "We've had some really tough games with these guys over the years. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Houston Nutt and the kind of coach that he is and the way he utilizes the personnel that he has."
Saturday's contest will mark the 59th meeting in the series and the 10th time Alabama has faced Mississippi in Oxford. Of the previous nine meetings, the Tide has come out on top seven times. The Rebels enter the game at 2-3 overall and 0-2 in Southeastern Conference play having lost games on the road at Vanderbilt (7-30) and at home against Georgia (13-27).
"They have a lot of talented players," added Saban. "They have a lot of returning starters on offense. They're actually playing better on defense from the standpoint of not giving up as many points. They have been really good on special teams. They've had some big plays, punt returns. I think they're leading the nation in punt returns, and it's because of the explosive skill guys that they have."
Earlier in the day, Mark Barron was recognized as one of seven on the Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List for having a notable performance last week. The senior safety led the Tide with six total tackles, including 1.5 for loss, in the 34-0 win over Vanderbilt. Barron also added two pass breakups.
Saturday's game will air on ESPN2 with Mark Jones calling the play-by-play, Ed Cunningham as the color analyst and Jeannine Edwards on the sidelines.

Hamilton County Commissioner Pat DeWine wants to share something with you.
DeWine, who's running for a spot on the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas this fall, thinks it's time that government put what it spends into a searchable database on the Internet. To that I say, "Amen," and it shouldn't stop there.
With today's technology and the maze of interconnected computers with a virtually endless supply of storage space and computing capacity, there's zero excuse why all kinds of government information across the U.S. isn't already accessible on the Internet. I'm glad that Hamilton County, through DeWine's proposal, would apparently be the first county in the nation to take steps to change that.
It's not just enough to be online in spirit -- like a spreadsheet turned into a Web page -- but I'd like to see a truly searchable, cross-relational database so that people who pay to fund government can actually see what's happening with their money. Think of putting data onto local maps and cross-referencing that with the vast amount of data government already collects. We could really learn some amazing things about how our communities work.
Ohio public records laws -- already some of the most liberal in the country -- provide for nearly unfettered access to just about any kind of information a citizen wants to request from its government. Many people never bother, though, leaving that task to journalists and activists who are willing to troll documents at a courthouse or other government office and pay to have the material copied. Few of these documents are online, even here, where we became pioneers for having government data available electronically thanks to the likes of former Clerk of Courts and Hamilton County Probate Court Judge Jim Cissell and Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes.
Even so, it's still not always easy to get information. Some government officials have been known to deny documents that should be public. When that used to happen to reporters who worked for companies with deep pockets, the information often would become public after an expensive legal fight. Now, thanks to tightening budgets at newsrooms everywhere, those fights are few and getting fewer all the time.
Recent public records audits, including one released by Ohio University journalism students in spring 2006, have shown that students disguised as ordinary citizens at Ohio public universities couldn't get basic public information. Students who went in unannounced -- as the law allows -- were denied information if they refused to show identification. Some were even followed in their cars after they left public offices.
Nowadays, government offices employ public relations officers who tell you they want to help you find the information you need. Some actually do. But more often than not those spokesmen and spokeswomen exist to spin their taxpayer-funded bosses in the best light possible.
That notion has been more true than ever lately, such as when former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan released his book about his three years working under President Bush, What Happened. In the book he admits to spreading "false information" about Valerie Plame, the CIA operative outed by Vice President Cheney's office. Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller spent 85 days in jail related to a leak of information about Plame's identity.
I sort of feel sorry for all those government workers who have to give up so much -- including home addresses, wages, e-mail, file cabinet contents -- when asked by the public. I wonder how much that plays on the mind of those who consider taking government jobs.
In the same vein, I think there's no reason why it should stop. Getting that information should become easier.
Procter & Gamble is required to share very little information with the public, from what it pays employees to how much it spends on company cars, office furniture, paper clips or light bulbs. While P&G leaders can create a lot of mischief if they wanted, they still can't raise taxes, spend trillions of dollars in tax money, arrest citizens or change laws. Governments can and do all the time.
DeWine's proposal comes at a great time. Technology has progressed to a point where it's feasible.
The end result might mean embarrassment for some, but in the end our community will be better off for the openness. Maybe the public will be able to exercise its right to know and will be back in control.

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
I've been trying for days to get a working install for Office365 - Office ProPlusRetail - and I can't get it to work. The first install hung and never finished. The second appeared to be fine, but when I tried the programs they crashed. When I tried to uninstall I got an error and ever since then, whether I try to install or uninstall I get error messages. At the moment the program appears to be uninstalled but when I attempt an install I get "Sorry, something went wrong, We ran in to a problem. Please try installing Office again." I've rebooted, I've tired Safe Mode, I've run every fixit I can find on the internet.
PLEASE PLEASE help! This computer is for one of our teachers and he needs it!
Thanks for the feedback.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15
- If you installed the 32-bit version of Office 2013, move to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
b. Type the following command, and then press Enter:
cscript ospp.vbs /dstatus
c. Examine the output. Look for and locate the last five characters of the installed product key.
d. Remove all product keys. To remove a product key, type the following command, and then press Enter:
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey: <Last five characters of product key>
3. Uninstall Office 2013 or Office 365 with this KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501.

In their final meet before the SEC Championships, both the men's and women's teams look to build on recent success and finish the regular season on a high note. Others participating at the meet include SEC foes Ole Miss, Tennessee and host Alabama.
During their most recent performance at the Notre Dame Invite on Sept. 28, the Lady Bulldogs were paced by senior Renee Masterson (33rd, 17:18), who finished in the top fourth of all female runners. Katie Huston (73rd, 17:41) and Chloe Phillips (74th, 17:43) followed Masterson to the finish line and aided the women's team in tallying 366 points to earn a 15th-place finish.
"Since the Notre Dame meet, we've really focused on getting our top five really close together and making sure we have quick leg turnovers, so that we can get out fast and stay consistent throughout the race," sophomore Jodie McGuff said.
On the men's side, John Valentine (72nd, 24:42) led the way for MSU in the 8K, followed by Philip Johnson (131st, 25:32) and Curtis Kelly (140th, 25:37). The men totaled 587 points on the day to finish 20th in South Bend, Ind.
Action begins on Saturday with the Men's 8K race at 8:30 a.m., followed by the Women's 5K at 9:10 a.m.
"I think we're going to have five girls under 18 minutes," said McGuff about her expectations for the meet. "We have to just really keep on closing that gap between our number-one and our number-five girl to make the score as low as possible."
After returning from Tuscaloosa, the Maroon and White squads will turn their focus toward the SEC Championships held in Nashville on Oct. 26.

Radu Stroe resigned amid a continuing row over a tardy rescue mission following Monday's plane crash in Transylvania.
Stroe resigned on Thursday but insisted he was only stepping down to protect emergency unit workers wrongfully blamed for delays in reaching survivors of Monday's plane crash.
"They are heroes who save lives, and five lives were saved in this plane crash," the outgoing minister said.
Prime Minister Victor Ponta accepted his resignation and nominated Deputy Interior Minister Gabriel Oprea to replace him on a temporary basis.
Stroe apologized for causing outrage for having said earlier that the only thing he reproached himself for was that the tragedy "happened during my term".
His resignation came one day after two other officials were dismissed following an outcry over the five-hour delay in rescuing survivors of the crash.
Two passengers died and five others remain in a critical condition after the plane came down in a remote area in the Apuseni mountains in central Transylvania.
Rescuers took hours to reach the survivors in an area situated at an altitude of 1,400 metres and with a 30-centimeter layer of snow.
The area was barely reachable, with little phone coverage. In the end it was nearby villagers, not professional rescue workers, who found the survivors.
The team of medics on the plane was on its way to the northwestern city of Oradea to perform a surgical resection of a liver that was to be taken to Bucharest for donation.
Prime Minister Ponta said there had been "unacceptable deficiencies in the rescue operation. The institutions involved worked unacceptably slowly."
Ponta announced new measures to improve the emergency rescue system, including setting up a new intervention committee. However, according to some reports, such a committee already exists.
The government has offered to decorate the survivors as well as those who found them.
Nationalist parties are emerging as the big winners - as tensions escalate inside the country's fragmented ruling coalition.
With his popularity boosted by his war crimes acquittal, Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj is hoping to stage a political comeback among Bosnia's Serbs as well as in his home country.
