This application is a continuation of co-pending provisional application U.S. Ser. No. 60/234,577, filed Sep. 22, 2000, the disclosure of which is hereby specifically incorporated by reference in its entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a method, apparatus, and system for remote baby monitoring. More specifically, this invention relates to providing additional functions to a remote baby monitor including vibration and vibration adjustment.
2. Problems in the Art
There is an ever-growing number of people that wish to use baby monitors to monitor the condition of their babies or small children. This monitoring can be performed with a baby monitoring system. A baby monitoring system typically includes both a transmitter unit and a receiver unit. Some baby monitors broadcast the sounds from a baby from the transmitter unit to the receiver unit. This allows a parent, relative, babysitter, childcare provider, or other person to monitor a baby crying or a baby otherwise creating sound.
Use of a baby monitor permits a baby's caregivers some level of additional freedom. For example, instead of periodically checking on a baby throughout the night, parents will be immediately awakened if the baby is crying to indicate a need to be fed, changed, or otherwise comforted. Further, if caregivers do wish to periodically monitor the baby they can do so without getting out of bed unless the presence or absence of particular sounds indicates that further action is required. Additional freedom is afforded to caregivers at naptime. For example, caregivers can go outside and still be alerted if baby requires attention.
Baby monitoring can involve more than just determining if a baby is crying. The sounds or absence of sounds can indicate a number of different activities or conditions related to the baby. The particular sounds or lack of particular sounds can indicate if the baby is awake or asleep, breathing or not breathing, coughing, strangling, falling or climbing out of the crib. Based on what sounds are heard or not heard, a caregiver can make a decision concerning whether to respond or not. This prior art monitoring requires audio awareness of a parent, relative, babysitter, childcare provider, or other person who monitors a baby or child. In other words, the parent must be able to hear the receiver. In certain situations, the audio monitoring of prior art inventions does not provide adequate notice of a crying child or is otherwise inconvenient. For example, a parent could be using a vacuum cleaner, and be oblivious to a crying child as the parent would not be able to hear the baby monitor. Similarly, a parent could be located outside using a lawnmower or snow blower, for example, and would not be able to hear the remote baby-monitoring device. In these situations, the prior art devices would not be effective.
There is also the problem of using a prior art baby-monitoring device at nighttime. Such a device can wake up more than one person. For example, in a two-parent household where the parents share a bedroom, both parents would awaken even though only one parent is needed to care for baby. As can be appreciated, there are many situations in which either audio monitoring cannot be heard, or the audio monitoring is too distracting. If audio monitoring is too distracting, a person may just turn the baby monitor receiver off.
For example, if a parent receives an important phone call there may be difficulties in listening to both the phone call and listening to the baby monitor. Similarly, the parent may not want the other party to the phone conversation to hear the baby, should the baby begin to cry. In these and other situations, a parent may be inclined to simply turn the baby monitor off. If a baby monitor must be turned off, it is not serving any useful function.
Some attempts have been made to solve these problems using indicator lights. However, this solution is deficient in a number of ways. First, indicator lights require that the remote baby monitor always be in view of its operator. This can be problematic, as it requires that the operator's visual attention be directed towards these lights. An inattentive caregiver will not realize that lights are flashing or otherwise indicating that the baby may require attention.
It is therefore a primary objective, feature, or advantage of the present invention to provide an apparatus, method, and system which improves upon the state of the art.
It is another objective, feature, or advantage of the present invention to provide a system and method of baby monitoring.
It is a further objective, feature, or advantage of the present invention to provide an apparatus system and method of baby monitoring that permits remote monitoring with non-audio alert.
Yet another objective, feature, or advantage of the present invention is to provide a monitoring device that is wearable.
It is a further objective, feature, or advantage of the present invention to provide a means of communicating a baby's noises to a remotely located parent or other person.
It is yet another objective, feature, or advantage of the present invention to provide a baby monitor with improved transmission range.
Yet, a further objective of the present invention is to provide a remote baby monitoring system that can operate at multiple frequencies.
Yet a further objective of the present invention is to provide an alert with a vibrator to notify a remotely located parent or other person that a baby is crying.
Further objects, features, or advantages of the present invention include:
These and other objectives, features, or advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the specification and claims.
The invention is a method, apparatus, and system for remote baby monitoring. The invention provides for non-audio alert when sound information associated with a baby exceeds a particular threshold. The invention provides for adjusting the level of sound that triggers the non-audio alert. This adjustment can be made on the remote unit. The invention further provides for adjustment of the intensity of the vibration on the remote unit.
In this manner, the present invention provides a number of advantages in that it provides a caregiver added flexibility in the baby monitoring process. For example, the caregiver who uses the remote monitoring system can adjust the level of non-audio alert as is appropriate for a particular baby being monitored or as is appropriate for a particular environment in which the baby or caregiver is situated.
For a better understanding of the invention, an exemplary embodiment will now be described in detail. Frequent reference will be taken to the drawings. Reference numerals and letters will be used in the drawings to indicate certain parts and locations in the drawings. The same reference numerals or letter will indicate the same parts or locations throughout the drawings unless otherwise indicated.
The baby unit control 6 provides the circuitry for connecting the inputs and outputs of the apparatus. The baby unit control 6 is also connected to a band control circuit 14 which is connected to transmitter 16 which is connected antenna 18. The band control unit 14 permits the transmitter 16 to transmit at different frequencies. The ability to operate at various frequencies can be important. For example, where only one frequency is used, there may be interference on that frequency. This interference could be due to a neighbor using a baby monitor operating at the same frequency. The interference could also be due to portable telephones or other consumer devices operating on the same frequency. The use of multiple frequencies selected through the band control unit 14 reduces or eliminates these problems.
It is to be understood that the band control unit is optional, and the number of different bands at which the transmitter can operate can vary in number. The transmitter 16 can be, for example, a 900 megahertz transmitter. Antenna 18 can be a soft antenna or other antenna. A soft antenna is generally preferable, given the environment in which the transmitter operates and the possibility that at some point the antenna 18 could come in contact with baby.
In the receiver unit 4, the antenna 20 receives a signal transmitted from the baby-transmitting unit 2. The antenna 20 may also be a soft antenna. The signal received through the antenna 20 goes to the receiver 22. The receiver 22 should be set to operate on the same frequency as the transmitter 16. For example, both the transmitter 16 and the receiver 22 can have an operating frequency of approximately 900-megahertz. In one embodiment the transmitter and the receiver can operate selectively at either 905.504 megahertz or 906.016 megahertz. The receiver 22 is also connected to the band control 24. The present invention contemplates that different bands can be manually or automatically selected. The band control unit 24 is electrically connected to the remote monitoring unit control. It is to be understood that the remote monitoring unit control 26 provides control circuitry and/or control logic to the other components of the remote receiver 4. The remote monitoring unit control 26 is also connected to an audio system 27, which provides audio of the baby, which was originally received at the microphone 10. The audio unit 27 has a volume adjustment 28 and a speaker 30. The volume adjustment provides the ability to adjust the volume level. For example, new parents can adjust the volume level to a high gain position so that every sound made by baby is heard in an amplified manner. Similarly, a parent with a very vocal baby can turn the volume level down so that only the loudest cries are clearly heard. The remote monitoring unit control 26 is also connected to a vibration system 31. The vibration system includes a vibration adjustment 32 as well as a vibrator 34. In addition, the remote monitoring unit control 26 is connected a power circuit 36.
Thus, an apparatus, method, and system for baby monitoring has been disclosed which solves problems and deficiencies in the art. From the foregoing, it will be observed that numerous variations and modifications may be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the present invention. It is understood that no limitation with respect to the specific embodiment illustrated herein is intended or should be inferred. The terms and expressions which have been employed herein are used as terms of description and not of limitation. There is no intent in the use of such terms and expressions to exclude any future equivalents of features shown and described herein, but it is recognized that various modifications are possible within the scope of the invention now claimed.

Suu Kyi, 67, will now prepare for the re-opening of Myanmar's fledgling parliament in Naypyidaw on Wednesday when she will take her place – alongside her National League for Democracy (NLD) colleagues – as an elected MP for the first time.
On her first visit to Europe in more than two decades the Nobel Peace laureate – who spent almost two decades under house arrest – visited Switzerland, Norway, Ireland, Britain and France.
She delivered a long delayed Nobel lecture, was honoured at her alma mater Oxford University, met pop stars and politicians and charmed the European public with speeches on her decades of struggle and her hopes for Myanmar.
Speaking to AFP on Thursday in Paris she said she was ready to lead the country if required and pledged to work towards embedding reforms ahead of scheduled 2015 national elections.
She also expressed delight at her reception and the support the Myanmar democracy campaign has garnered in Europe over the years.
"So many people from different parts of the world seem to be aware of what we have been struggling for in Burma," she said. "I felt such a tremendous sense of solidarity with us. That has been a surprise."
The parliamentary session is expected to discuss recent deadly communal violence which flared in western Myanmar, among other issues, and marks the NLD's entry into mainstream political institutions in the country.
The party was repressed for years by the army junta that ruled Myanmar for decades, but a reformist government under ex-general President Thein Sein has made a number of changes since it took office last year.
Nonetheless the military still hold a quarter of the seats in parliament.

BBA Ballots: The Connie Mack Award
If you have followed the blog for some time, you will remember that I became one of the first 10 members of what is now known as the Baseball Bloggers Alliance. It serves as a clearinghouse for ideas and also functions as a sort of political machine as far as the blogging movement on the internet.
You will not hear me getting into politics or the blogger vs traditional media battles too much, but the BBA releases its own version of the postseason awards -- starting today with the Connie Mack Award, which goes to the best manager of the season.
Jaymes Langrehr of The Brewers Bar and I discussed the award and ultimately decided that we were largely apathetic. Nonetheless, here is our top three managers of the National League for 2010:
1. Bobby Cox, Atlanta
This is as much a sentimental pick as it is one based on merit. Often times, managers get too much credit when things work out well, but Cox was able to take a team crippled by injuries to the playoffs. Troy Glaus was only able to take 412 at-bats. Chipper Jones only took 317 at-bats. Outside of Jason Heyward, they had the lightest-hitting outfield in baseball, yet they were still able to win the wildcard. Much of this had to do with Cox's management of the pitching staff, especially when it came to his excellent bullpen.
2. Charlie Manuel, Philadelphia
Sometimes, the best managers are the ones that sit back and don't screw anything up. Manuel knew he had a good thing in the two-time defending National League champions, and just let them play. Philadelphia was third-to-last in the NL in sacrifices, which is absolutely the right approach to take when you have a lineup like Philadelphia's. He managed his pitching staff well, even before the team traded for Roy Oswalt, and smartly just let Roy Halladay go when he took the mound. In a league filled with micro managers, Manuel is a breath of fresh air.
3. Bud Black, San Diego
To put it bluntly, the Padres offense stunk, which made Black's decisions with the pitching staff all the more important. While San Diego certainly had its fair share of pitchers that outperformed expectations, Black still managed the bullpen well, which was crucial considering how many close games the Pads played. They were involved in 50 one-run games -- that's over 30% of their schedule -- and went 28-22 in those contests. A few managerial slip-ups here and there, and the Padres probably don't sniff 90 wins. Black deserves some of the credit.

The little man & I went on a good long walk today with our friend Kim. Last Tuesday we went on a walk, so why not again this Tuesday. Perhaps it will become a Tuesday tradition.
After our walk, I tried out a workout that another friend, Jeni, filled me in on. She actually was telling me about the 30 Day Shred workout video by Jillian Michaels . I didn't copy it exactly, hopefully that means it's okay that I put it on my blog. If you want the real deal, then you should get her workout video .
Here is what I did, with VERY LITTLE resting in between each workout:
I stuck with 8 lb weights almost the whole time (the push-ups & squats w/ the overhead press killed me). Basically it's 3 circuits, 3 minutes of weights, 2 minutes of cardio & 1 minute of abs.
It was a great workout! It was only 30 minutes, but I was sweating by the end and nice & tired. I don't know how her video is, but my altered workout was awesome!

This tour was a blast. The crew was awesome and made sure we had an amazing time. The snorkeling was a lot of fun. One of the crew helped teach me how to go all the way under the water when snorkeling which ive always wanted to try.
We surely will be booking another catamaran through them.

Oops, not anymore
I said it it not even something to discuss, there is not one benchmark out there, do a search for yourself, that has the quadro ahead of the Wildcat, nada, zilch, zero, ingen... ok, the benches prove that the wildcat is WAY ahead and a LOT cheaper...
there is your link... I don't work for 3dlabs and right now i am no fan of them either...
Sorry, but the the open source part is still open source, and therefore you will find it bundled with the driver... the licence... well, i have to talk to them about that...
What is the problem with the kt800? do a search on any site you can find, and find out...
The agp driver part of the wildcat is actually mine and i used OSS licence to supply it thinking they would know what that means... obviously not...
I am removing my code from the wildcat driver release, i'll host the code elsewhere, and let you know...
See you around...

"My parents immigrated in the early '70s," Mendes said. "I just recall my mom and dad getting up for work very early in the morning, and I actually remember my mom bringing me to the babysitter before she went to work. ... So I had a babysitter who would get me ready for school, and I would go to school Monday through Friday of course, and then the weekends I recall helping my father with various laborious tasks. My father was into construction, did a lot of masonry work, a lot of carpentry work and he owned a house that we remodeled.
"I recall my childhood being surrounded by that, getting up early in the morning, helping my dad on Saturday and Sunday, where, I mean, I was at school and I wanted to go play with my friends or go play soccer," he added. "So that started very early on, when I was 12, 13, 14 years old."
Mendes said cooking emerged as a natural outlet for his creative impulse that also would serve and be served by his desire to work hard.
"There was something that would ignite in me; there was some kind of inner flame when I was looking at the kitchen, when I was looking at the stove, when I was looking at the hustle and bustle of the service and the energy and the people and the smiles and the faces and the creation -- the craftsmanship," Mendes said.
By craftsmanship, he said he meant "looking how to cook a piece of fish properly or a piece of meat and then plating it and making it look beautiful, and setting it out in the dining room and having the waiter come back and say, 'Chef, the customer loved that.'
"I'm a very energetic person," he added. "I have a very high metabolism, and I think I always loved that level of pressure, that level of stress. It just made me want to get to work every morning or every afternoon. And there was just something inside me that said, 'You know what? This is a lot of fun.' Hard work, a lot of sacrifices, but a lot of fun."
Being a chef is about more than cooking, however, said Mendes. He talked about learning how to lead a kitchen.
"[It's about] knowing the basics, being disciplined with yourself, having that work ethic," he said. "Being a motivator, being a leader is very important, you know. You can't run a restaurant by yourself. You can't run a kitchen by yourself. You have to instill that organization in the kitchen brigade. ... You really have to motivate people and make them want to follow you and work that 10- to 12- to 14-hour day and still bring them back the next day. That's a very important quality or skill to have as a chef. You're a leader. You're in day-in and day-out."
When he starts to feel worn out, Mendes follows the same rule that guided the creation of Aldea: Draw on what's close at hand.
"I'm constantly re-inspired. You know, it could be something really simple," he said. "It could be the weather. It could be a walk to the farmer's market. It could be an employee. It could be something that I read. It could be a visit to my friend's restaurant the night before. What keeps me going ... is that true love and passion for this industry -- for cooking, I think, is what it comes down to.
"I still have simple thrills and a smile gets put on my face when I see a perfect piece of fish, or I'm cooking a la plancha or using very modern cooking techniques -- that's, to me, there's always something new to reflect on a daily basis."

text: $600 is probably fair. Unless you know the person you're purchasing from its just kind of difficult to trust that everything about a 50+year old camera will be in good shooting condition. That's why I suggested Youxin Yi when purchasing the camera, it just takes the worry about possibly needing a CLA out of the purchase--you'll pay the same for a freshly CLAd camera from him as you would for one that likely needs a CLA from a private seller. As for the lens, it's easier to trust the descriptions of private sellers. As long as it doesn't have fungus, separation or extensive haze you'll be ok. A Summitar in good shooting condition will probably sell for anywhere from $225-$350.

Angel Pagan was just looking to steal second base in Game 2 of the World Series. While the aggressive tactic paid off for the Giants outfielder, it also won everyone in the United States a free Doritos Locos Taco from Taco Bell. Before the World Series, Taco Bell promised to have the giveaway if a player successfully swiped a base. Fresh off winning the World Series, Pagan -- a fan of tacos -- celebrated the promotion at a Taco Bell in Redwood City, Calif. on Tuesday by working there and then signing autographs. Pagan learned the art of making tacos while also serving antsy customers in the drive-thru. From 2 pm ET to 6 pm ET around the nation, customers were eligible to claim their free tacos on Tuesday. But one Giants fan went the unorthodox route and asked Pagan to autograph the Doritos Locos Taco. Now, that's a one-of-a-kind taco. One of a kind Angel Pagan autographed taco. twitter.com/lilaznboi113/s… — Justin Wong(@lilaznboi113) October 31, 2012

"Go buy everything from 1984 out of Minneapolis" -- Tommy Stinson
Prince's Purple Rain (previously) celebrating its thirtieth (!!!) anniversary, but the skinny MFer with the high voice wasn't the only great thing coming out of the Twin Cities in the mid-1980s. Bob Mould of Husker Du, Babes in Toyland's Lori Barbero, singer-songwriter Craig Finn, Tommy Stinson of The Replacements, and up-and-coming MC Lizzo take a look back in Noisey's documentary Made in Minnesota.

Tim Burton's Batman, the opposite of Pee-wee's Big Adventure
This year marks the 25th anniversary of 1989 Batman movie, which is remembered for everything from the logo "that helped set the course for superhero movies" to the ways the movie was true to the comics, or was really a "noir" update to the 1960s Adam West Batman. While preparing yourself for what may come in the lead-up to the June 23 anniversary date, enjoy Batman: The Making of a Hero documentary, a rare 25 minutes behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, from the folks at 1989 Batman, a fansite dedicated to the movie, and its sequel, Batman Returns.

Breakfast Can Wait
In what can only be described as a peculiar reversal of approach, Prince has released his latest video on Vevo/YouTube. Breakfast Can Wait is classic Prince, slow and funky, featured altered vocals reminiscent of Sign O' The Times era tracks, full of sexxxy goodness. The SFW video is also classic in form, with Janet Jackson-style synchronized formation dancing.
Mazzy Star: It's True, We're Still Together (and we have a new album)
Mazzy Star are best known for their hazy, shoegazer album So Tonight I Might See (Grooveshark stream), which contained the single Fade Into You (YouTube). That album was released in 1993, and went platinum in 1995, providing an odd counter-point to the popular grunge sounds of the day. As a band, they made three albums in the 1990s, though neither hit the peak of their sophomore album. They disbanded (as far as the public was concerned*) in 1997, though there were a series of reunion tours in 2000. Eleven years later, they released a new single, Common Burn b/w Lay Myself Down, and the group toured in 2012. This week, they release their fourth album, Seasons of Your Day, and they aren't any cheerier (in responding to interview questions). [more inside]
Is it possible 2 have 2 much fun?
Prince, once an early adopter of selling music over the internet and more recently notorious for controlling his online presence, got ahold of his newest band's twitter account and posted several youtube videos, including "Let's Go Crazy" and "Screwdriver." [more inside]

The Time I Went Roller-Skating With Prince, as told by Questlove "I got a text from Prince's assistant." And so the story begins, in an excerpt from "Mo' Meta Blues: The World According to Questlove" by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and Ben Greenman. What's not to love?

The first performance of "Purple Rain"
Wendy Melvoin is fresh from high school. She is a wearing a V-necked sleeveless top, and patterned shorts. She is playing the first chords of a new song on her purple guitar, opening chords that she wrote, a circular motif with a chorus effect. Wendy is nineteen and she has the high cheekbones and diffident confidence of a Hollywood upbringing. She half-smiles at the faces that crowd close to the low club stage. This is Wendy's first gig with the new band, and the song she is playing is "Purple Rain," and nobody in the audience has ever heard "Purple Rain" before because this is the night that Prince and the Revolution record the song.
Prince's "Sign O The Times"
We shrugged when friends told us Prince's Sign "O" the Times was the greatest rock concert movie ever. There are limits to how great a rock concert movie can be, and we figured Jonathan Demme's--and Talking Heads'--Stop Making Sense had stretched them as far as they were liable to go. But even though Sign "O" the Times was directed by the artiste, whose previous cinematic exploits haven't exactly put him in Demme's class, Prince has come up with a contender. Where Demme goes for a sinuous, almost elegant clarity, Prince's movie is all murk, scuzz, steam, and, oh yeah, sex. With all due respect, which one sounds more like a real rock concert to you? - Robert Christgau [more inside]

Meet the natives of England and America
Not content to keep funding expeditions of Westerners to learn about Tanna, in 2007 the National Geographic funded an expedition of five men from Tanna's Prince Philip movement cargo cult to visit England, stay with families, and eventually meet Prince Philip himself whom they revere as the son of their God. Jimmy, who was a member of the expedition and the narrator for the film has posted the video on his youtube account. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 In 2009 the Travel Channel aired Meet the Natives: USA, which brought five men from another group from Tanna to the United States. Their tribe within Tanna reveres Tom Navy, an American World War II sailor who generations ago had taught the inhabitants to live in peace. The Tanna ambassadors were taken across, visiting five states, and eventually meeting former United States Secretary of State Colin Powell and verifying with him that the spirit of peace taught by Tom Navy lives on in the current U.S. President, Barack Obama. While visiting with a family on Fort Stewart, a US Army Major-General conferred a World War II Victory Medal and an Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal upon the chief in representation of the contribution the people of Tanna in World War II. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Be sure to look for Jimmy's responses to questions in the mercifully uncharacteristic youtube comments [more inside]

Lost: Wired's Guide to Pop Culture's Buried Treasure
Wired takes a look at some pop culture legends that elude fans and collectors.
Prince's "The Black Album"
The Black Album is a Prince record that was originally planned for release in December 1987, as the follow-up to Sign o' the Times. ... The 1987 promo-only release had no printed title, artist name, production credits or photography printed; a simple black sleeve accompanied the disc. ... The album was canceled mere days before its scheduled release, after hundreds of thousands of copies were pressed. A few escaped destruction, and rank among the most coveted Prince collectibles. In addition, the Black Album became the most bootlegged record of all time. [more inside]

A Soundtrack of Love and Heartbreak, curated by 50+ artists
eMusic has a collection of more than 50 artists reflecting on love songs, from Andreya Triana (Coldplay's "Yellow" reminds of her first love and heartbreak), to Yuki Chikudate (from Asobi Seksu) (Debbie Gibson's "Lost in Your Eyes" brings back the innocent early-elementary school crushes), and Dan Deacon (who heard Yo La Tengo's "Shadows" after a sucky breakup). All songs mentioned are linked below the break. [more inside]
So Tell My Mother That I Never Made a Whack Jam
The music video to "Boom! Shake the Room," by D.J. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (SLYT).
The Internet Is Over
He says: "The internet's completely over. I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won't pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can't get it. "The internet's like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good."After releasing Cause & Effect and Hot Summer through his local Minneapolis public radio station, Prince elects to forego official digital release of his new album, "20Ten". Instead, he will give it away through France's Courrier International (July 8), England's Daily Mirror and Scotland's Daily Record (July 10), and Germany's Rolling Stone (July 22), starting this week.

That skinny motherfucker with the high voice
"Prince announces a triple album set available from Target. Unless he's going to write a hit song and play in each and every store in the chain, this is a bad deal. We've got enough Prince music. We want two CDs and a third of a protege? I don't know about you, but I've got a life. And Prince hasn't put out a good album in this century. ... How many people are going to tell their friends about Prince's new album? None. No one has hipped me to a new Prince track in fifteen years. The release of his album is a dead end. He's abused our trust. When you e-mail me an unsolicited track you abuse my trust. When you add me to your mailing list without asking first, you abuse my trust. When you focus on marketing as opposed to music, you've got your head up your ass." - Bob Lefsetz (previously)
Purple Rain, Swedish Dansband Style
Larz Kristerz plays "Purple Rain". For some reason, Prince hasn't sued them. Yet. [more inside]
Retail therapy
Apropos on Black Friday, Charles, Prince of Wales addresses the Foreign Press Association with a comprehensive lecture on the dangers of unchecked consumerism and the need for an increasingly holistic worldview in light of the global social, economic and environmental challenges. The credit crisis is a side effect of a throwaway society and consumerism is no cure for depression, he says, and we need to question the concepts of "Modernity" and "Economic Growth" we take for granted.
Prince is an angry, angry man
Fifty Norwegian artists (including the national symphony orchestra KORK), who recorded Prince covers in honor of his 50th birthday June 7, have been slapped with a lawsuit by the short-tempered star. For now, all 81 songs can be previewed free on C+C Records' website, and some are also available on MySpace in streamable medley form. Source.
the Prince "Come Together" bootleg
the Prince "Come Together" bootleg... from Coachella 2008 that's popping up suddenly on many indie mp3 blogs now . ..Incidentally.. the Beatles wrote this as an unofficial Presidential campaign song for Timothy Leary (incarcerated at the time) . A progressively intense audience engagning performance ... if they ever do a career spanning Prince box set they'll put this on.
The stuff of nightmares ...
The video of German electrofunkmeister Michael Fakesch's On the Floor (via Daily Motion) might make getting to sleep difficult. But it's awesome, and the guy sounds like a younger, angrier Prince. [more inside]
James Hewitt Jr
The 'bullet magnet' is back. I can't believe that the British press kept a secret for so long (10 weeks is a miniature eternity in journalist time). It was supposed to last six months... I also can't believe that the odious Drudge has broken yet another big story. Was it all just a PR stunt? [more inside]
The Year of Flops
On Tuesday, A.V. Club critic Nathan Rabin's reassessment of the rabidly ambitious Perfume: The Story of a Murderer marked the culmination of his Year of Flops project, a reviewing marathon of 104 commercial and critical failures.

Bake the Hall in the Candle of Her Brain
Prince still the s#it after three decades
The Once and Future Prince [NYTimes link] Although Prince declined to be interviewed about "Planet Earth," he has been highly visible lately. His career is heading into its third decade, and he could have long since become a nostalgia act. Instead he figured out early how to do what he wants in a 21st-century music business, and clearly what he wants is to make more music. Here's a YouTube celebration of some of man's hits over the years: Black Sweat, Let's Go Crazy, When Doves Cry, Purple Rain, Little Red Corvette, Nothing Compares 2 U (ok, the Sinead version), and finally, Prince's basketball showdown with Charlie Murphy.
Extra! Extra!
Planet Earth, the new Prince album, to be given away for free as a newspaper insert. Music industry bigwigs splutter, fume.
History, always repeats
While the Queen was in New Zealand on Christmas Eve 1953 a lahar destroyed a rail bridge in Tangiwai. When the Wellington to Auckland Express tried to cross the bridge, the resulting accident killed 151 people. On behalf of her mother, Prince Andrew is currently in New Zealand, commemorating a hero, and another lahar has errupted, from the same volcano. The death toll is zero.
Be Sure... To Drink... Your Ovaltine?
Hacking The Superbowl. John Hargrave spends $40,000 for an elaborate Superbowl prank -- duping the feds, cops, and stadium security in order to pass out thousands of lights to fans, who were told they would spell out "Prince" during the halftime show. Instead, they spell out, uh... well, something. Just what they spell is unclear (though some are having fun "guessing") and Hargrave hasn't said yet (his write-up is up to part 5, hopefully of 6). Can you tell? And was it worth the effort, or is this just an expensive dud?
'The Family' Reunion
'The Family' Has Reunited. Members of the studio band created in the wake of The Time's disintegration, who never toured and who only released one self-titled album (featuring the beautiful photography of Horst and lavish orchestration by Clare Fischer, like much of Prince's other projects at the time) have reunited. No word yet about any involvement from either Prince (writer of nearly all the band's songs, including their gigantic hit Nothing Compares 2 U - well, at least for Sinead O'Connor) or his Revolution cohorts Wendy (twin sister of Family co-lead vocalist Susannah Melvoin) & Lisa, now a successful scoring team for film and television.
Someone controlled you
While my guitar fiercely weeps Next on YouTubeFilter: Prince shares a stage with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and George Harrison's son Dhani, at Harrison's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. No, scratch that: Prince ain't sharin' with nobody -- that stage is all his.
Prince wants to sell you the Watchtower and Awake magazines.
Prince wants to sell you the Watchtower and Awake magazines. I am very surprised at this turn of events. What's he gonna do about all his songs that have so much sexual content?
The-Artist-Once-Again-Known-As-Prince debuts his new single on Napster - The Work - Pt. 1, which is the first track from Prince's new album, The Rainbow Children will be available on Friday. Prince has worked without a major label contract since 1994 after a contract dispute with Warner Music.
Start the "formerly known as formerly known as..." jokes now:
Start the "formerly known as formerly known as..." jokes now: I find this tremendously disappointing, but the first person to actually adopt an icon as his name has reversed the decision, a scant 7 years into the adventure.

The New England Patriots don't know yet who they'll face in their playoff opener. But they do have firsthand knowledge about all three potential opponents. The Patriots, after all, have already played every one of them. They routed the Indianapolis Colts 59-24 and the Houston Texans 42-14 and lost to the Baltimore Ravens 31-30 on a last-play field goal. So until the he finds out, coach Bill Belichick is playing it safe. The Patriots will focus on themselves, first and foremost. And as for the opponents? Well ... ''We'll work on everybody,'' the coach said Wednesday. New England (12-4) will be home for the divisional round on Jan. 13 against the Texans if they beat the Cincinnati Bengals in Saturday's AFC wild-card game. If Houston loses, New England will host the winner of Sunday's game between Baltimore and Indianapolis. ''After the Houston game, we'll either be full-speed ahead on Houston,'' Belichick said, ''or we'll put that in the drawer and wait and see what happens in t...

An 18-year-old St. James man has begun the long road to recovery after losing a leg in an accident with an auger last week. Ross Henderson was working at a feed mill when his foot got caught in the auger. His injuries were so severe that he was taken to North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale, where his left leg was amputated. The former high school athlete is now undergoing 30 minutes of physical therapy twice a day, and will have to wait for up to six weeks to receive a prosthetic. A fund to help Henderson has been set up at the Ormsby State Bank under his name.

The Trainee Symposia Series is intended to foster scientific investigation, professional education and career development in sleep research and academic sleep medicine. The Trainee Symposia Series includes seminars on the science of sleep, career development and grant writing workshops, a career fair, reception and a trainee datablitz.
Registration is FULL for Trainee Day. Thank you for registering! It should be a great event. Watch your email, the SRS Update and Facebook page in early June for schedules.
This event will begin with a 30-minute datablitz of research presented by fellow trainees. Then, representatives from universities and research organizations will be available at the Career Development Fair to discuss their research programs and to advertise student postdoctroal and faculty positions
Past and Future of OSA Research
Alan Pack, PhD, MBChB
Evolution of research on OSA, current trends and future directions
What Makes a Successful Job Talk?
Erin Wamsley, PhD and Colin Espie, PhD
With clinical environments increasingly advocating for interdisciplinary research, the relevance of sleep related research in different contexts is crucial. The purpose of this session would be to guide delegates about the elements of a successful 'job talk' at different stages of a researcher's career (gaining a post-doc position, junior faculty and senior faculty). The session will consist of a sample (part of) a job talk.
Writing and Preparing Pilot, Dissertation, and Individual Training Grant Proposals: How to Avoid Pitfalls and Highlight Strengths
Bryce Mander, PhD and Wilfred Pigeon, PhD
This workshop is targeted to early and late graduate students and focuses on planning dissertation research (and pilots for the dissertation) as well as applying for individual training grants (e.g., F31s and F32s) that can support students during graduate school and during their transition to the academic job market (post-docs and beyond).
Role of Sleep Reactivity and Stress in the Evolution of Insomnia and Depression
Chris Drake, PhD, FAASM
Stress and stress management are becoming more relevant as a target in health care. What has sleep research contributed to our understanding of stress and stress reactivity (psychological and physiological)? What are the unanswered questions that need more research?
Circadian Rhythms Research: Measurement and Application of the DLMO
Stephanie Crowley, PhD
Method of collecting the circadian rhythm of melatonin and how to apply these data to understand circadian rhythm disturbances of shift work, circadian rhythm sleep disorders, and other examples of circadian misalignment.

Kristen Knutson, PhD
The participants and moderator in this session will discuss diverse techniques to facilitate participant recruitment as well as methods to improve participant retention (e.g. identifying recruitment/retention trends, goals and strategies to reach these goals; documenting recruitment progress; training research staff to increase recruitment/retention rates). The topic will also outline the specific challenges commonly associated with epidemiological and clinical research studies. This session will not solve everyone's recruitment difficulties, but will hopefully allow the moderator and participants to share and develop strategies.
Patient-oriented Research in Sleep: Developing New Tools to Help Measure Sleep
Dan Buysse, MD, FAASM
This workshop will provide a brief overview of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in research and clinical practice and the processes used to guide development of measures used to assess these outcomes. Then, trainees will be split into groups and collectively engage in the development of their own PRO measure to assess sleep in a targeted clinical population. Patient centered care is especially relevant with the introduction of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (2010) guiding practice.

When AVS member Vikram Rao (vikgrao) and his wife Vasu, both physicians living near Indianapolis, IN, decided to build their dream home theater, they looked at many examples here on AVS Forum for ideas. Vikram wanted a modern look, and Vasu was partial to a color scheme with red, black, blue, and a bit of gray, hinting at the theme that was to emerge as the project progressed. But most important was sound isolation—Vasu is an emergency-room doctor who returns home at odd hours after a 12- or 24-hour shift and needs to sleep, even if Vikram is blasting the audio at reference levels or beyond.
The entrance to Vikram's home theater hints at the theme that eventually emerged.
To integrate these requirements, Vikram turned to installer and fellow AVS member Jeff Parkinson (BIGmouthinDC), who knows a thing or two about building and acoustical isolation. Starting with a basement room measuring 28 x 14 x 9 feet with 12-inch-thick concrete walls on three sides, Parkinson specified double-stud walls and ceiling along with three layers of 5/8-inch drywall separated by Green Glue noise-damping compound, all of which is decoupled from the studs using whisper clips and hat channels. The walls and ceiling are further insulated with R19 and R25 material, and the floor consists of OSB (oriented stranded board) and acoustical rubber matting on a concrete foundation. After all that, the theater now measures 22 x 12.8 x 7.8 feet with a 2.75-inch-thick soundproof door.
Double-stud walls help keep the theater sound in and external sounds out.
The next step was building a stage for the front speakers and a riser for the second row of seats. Aside from providing unobstructed sightlines for the second row, the riser also serves as a bass trap designed by Dennis Erskine of The Erskine Group, a custom-design company that helped with the installation. The stage was filled with sand to stabilize it no matter how loud the speakers might get.
Vikram lugged over a ton of sand into the theater.
In keeping with a modern look, Vikram wanted curves everywhere, which presented Parkinson with additional challenges. For example, he found himself crawling under sheets of OSB to mark the curves of the platforms.
Parkinson marks the curves of the front stage on OSB that will form the top layer.
The soffits in the ceiling also had to be super strong to withstand the shaking that was to come from the finished audio system.
Parkinson demonstrates the strength of the soffits above the stage. I wonder if he used Crazy Glue?
Speaking of the audio system, Vikram decided to use three Seaton Catalyst 12C self-powered speakers for the front left, center, and right channels, each of which is triamped with a total of 2000 watts. Also placed in front is a JTR Orbit Shifter LFU subwoofer with an 18" driver, 14-foot folded horn, and 4000 watts of its own amplification.
Parkinson stands like da Vinci's Vitruvian Man between the left and center Seaton Catalyst 12C self-powered speakers. A JTR Orbit Shifter LFU subwoofer stands between the center and right speakers.
The front speakers would soon be hidden behind a fixed Seymour AV Center Stage XD acoustically transparent (woven fabric) screen measuring 140 inches wide with a 2.37:1 aspect ratio and a gain of 1.2. In addition, the screen exhibits a slight concave curve, just like a commercial cinema and in perfect sync with the curvaceous design elements throughout the rest of the room.
Vikram, Vasu, and their son Rishi sit on the unfinished stage after the screen has been installed.
For the surrounds, Vikram settled on six Procella Audio P6Vs, though only four are being used as of this writing until he can install a QSC Q-Sys Core 250i DSP. The surrounds are powered by a Denon AVR-4520CI receiver, which also serves as the preamp/processor for the system. It has nine channels of amplification, so all six speakers could be used now, but according to Dennis Erskine and Shawn Byrne of The Erskine Group, the multiple side surrounds wouldn't sound right without the DSP, which will be used to control all speakers and the sub.
Six Procella Audio P6V speakers are mounted in the walls, hidden by acoustically transparent cloth after this photo was taken.
Vikram chose the Epson PowerLite Pro Cinema 6020UB for his projector. To accommodate the 2.37:1 screen, he installed a Panamorph UH480 anamorphic lens on a motorized sled so it can move into the light path for widescreen movies and out of the way for 16:9 HDTV.
The Epson 6020 is ceiling mounted with a motorized sled for the Panamorph anamorphic lens.
Once the theater was complete with blue accent lighting and red carpeting, a theme naturally emerged. What superhero dresses in those colors? The Man of Steel, of course. And there can be no better symbol of this theater's power, especially when you consider that its audio system delivers a total peak output of 15,000 watts.
The color scheme of Vikram's theater naturally suggested a Superman theme, which is entirely appropriate given the superpowers of this amazing room.
The price tag was equally impressive—right around $100,000. But thanks to the skill and dedication of Jeff Parkinson, calibrator Jeff Meir of AccuCal, The Soundproofing Company, and The Erskine Group, Vikram Rao has his Fortress of Solitude, in which he can play movies at ear-splitting levels while his wife slumbers peacefully or joins him for family movie night in one of the best home theaters for many miles around.
Six black-leather Fusion Jive 1013 seats let Vikram and his family and friends enjoy movies in the lap of luxury.
For much more detail about how Vikram Rao's home theater came together, check out the build thread here.

You're most welcome; it's a great build! I changed the number of drywall layers to three and changed one other word: instead of saying you "installed" the studs and drywall, I now say you "specified" them, which corrects the slight misinformation, I think.

Men's Fashion Trend – Motorcycle Jackets for Fall 2013
For menswear.
The motorcycle jacket is a type of leather jacket that never seems to go out of style. A New York City based clothing manufacturing company, Schott NYC, that was founded by two brothers was the first to develop the leather motorcycle jacket in 1928. The longevity of the motorcycle style is attributed to a great functional design and the ability to adapt it to modern trends without losing the original concept.
For 2013, menswear designers have put their own stamp on the leather motorcycle jacket. Kenneth Cole takes the classic design with a short rise, asymmetrically zippered front flap, and uses a deep emerald green distressed leather and gold zippered hardware to incorporate the trend of color.
72. Ties – Knit vs. Skinny Woven
For menswear.
INFEASIBLE: Knit ties
Ralph Lauren Solid skinny knit tie
(From Ralph Lauren)
Okay. Ties. Again. Something so simple I thought no crackhead, let alone designer, could get wrong. But alas, I was wrong; Ralphie has decided that silk is better put as a knit. How so very misguided. Friends, you don't want your tie to look like a cat clawed at it a thousand times, do you? Of course not. In regards to this particular tie, "soft azalea" is not a color intended for any tie, let along a shambly one.
Feasible: Skinny woven ties
Marciano Oxford Tie(Brought to you by Guess)
Thin is in and always will be in my book. People talk about how the hipsters have ruined narrow ties forever – I say nay, fellow enthusiasts. Wear yours proud!

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
On Park City's Main Street with immediate access to the slopes and area nightlife
The hotel is located on Park City's historic Main Street, just a quick walk from restaurants, shops and ski-in/ski-out access to the slopes -- as well as prime access to festivities during the annual Sundance Film Festival.
Park City Mountain is where the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Olympic Team comes to train, and thus has plenty powdery, challenging slopes. But there are slopes for the less-advanced skiers and snowboarders as well. The mountain originally opened as Treasure Mountain in the 60s, but was renamed in 1996. Today it boasts eight peaks, nine bowls, and 16 chairlifts, as well as a snowboard park. During the summer months, the mountain turns into an amusement park, and ski slopes become scenic hiking and biking trails.
The April Inn is a great budget option with an even better location in an often very expensive ski town. Located on Main Street, within walking distance of restaurants, bars, and the slopes, the Inn features one and two-bedroom condos complete with living rooms and fully equipped kitchenettes. Rooms are bland -- they are decorated with typical "mountain-esque" plaids and scenes of snowy slopes -- but with the affordable rates and perks such as free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and DVD players, and gas fireplaces, it's easy to forgive. Aside from on-site laundry facilities, the hotel has no other amenities -- even parking isn't on the property. Still, the April Inn is a solid budget choice for those who care most about "location, location, location" -- and plan on making some meals in.
