The Miami Dolphins Want Some of What the Marlins Got
Another Florida sports team wants government to help it finance a stadium
The Miami Dolphins want some help paying for a $350 million renovation to Sun Life Stadium. In particular, they want voters to back a plan for Miami-Dade County to set aside $289 million from a hotel tax. The team would borrow against this money to finance the upgrade and pay the county back up to $120 million in 30 years. (You can learn further details here.) The problem is that Miami has been down this road before. In 2009, the county agreed to help the Miami Marlins pay for a new $650 million stadium that now serves as a very expensive home for a team nobody wants to see .
So Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is making the rounds to sell the renovation plan ahead of a May 14 referendum. "Well, first of all, the benefits of this—the public is the one that really benefits," he told the Miami Herald on Friday. "As we disclosed in our financials, we don't make a lot of money. In fact, we lose a lot of money."
Perhaps the same could be said for the public in many such deals. Last year analysts at UBS released a report titled "Batter Up: Public Sector Support for Professional Sports Facilities." It is worth quoting at length:
"Unfortunately, independent academic research studies consistently conclude that new stadiums and arenas have no measurable effect on the level of real income or employment in the metropolitan areas in which they are located. Feasibility studies for professional sports facilities often fail to account for the substitution effect. Individuals generally maintain a consistent level of entertainment spending so money spent on sporting events typically comes at the expense of cash spent in restaurants, on travel, and at movie theaters. … Despite consistent evidence that subsidies are counterproductive in the long run, the public sector remains intent on directing expenditures for this purpose."
And the Dolphins are probably not as badly off as they would like Miami to believe. Setting aside that Forbes estimates Ross's personal fortune to be $4.4 billion, the Dolphins released only a "one-page summary" of the team's financial status to public officials. If sports ventures want to claim need, as they often do when seeking public help, they should release several years' worth of statements. Until they do, a good rule of thumb is never to trust a sports owner who cries poverty.
(Update with input from Miami Dolphins)
Eric Jotkoff, a spokesperson for the Dolphins renovation plan, contacted me this morning to point out that the team made more than a "one page summary" available to the county. That summary is what the county released after having "qualified consultants" review "summary operational cash flow schedule covering several fiscal years," according to a memo from Miami Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez. This is still not full disclosure, but it's more than many teams do.

Since finishing up classes a mere three weeks ago, I've visited the Netherlands, France and Spain and walked off the plane in Cork with a backpack full of dirty clothes, a lighter wallet and a greater understanding of how little I understand the world.
The greatest enigma award goes to the Dutch. My fellow Crusaders and I dutifully shelled out to see the magnificent Rijksmuseum, the national art and history museum which details the country's process of independence from Spain, accumulation of wealth during the Golden Age and domination by France under Napoleon. We dutifully did a walking tour of the city, hit the Anne Frank Huis, studied through the Van Gogh Museum, peeked into the churches and visited the strange museum of "Our Lord in the Attic" (a semi-secret Catholic church built in the 16th century). I even ate copious quanities of stroopwafel sweets and gouda cheese, tried a bit of the genever drink and sought out the highly-rated Indonesian food.
I was a bit steamed about my lack of understanding. How had I gone through the school system with only the faintest details about Henry Hudson?
Walking through Amsterdam University, I was held up for hours in the English-language bookstore ("the American Book Center") because it was the best book store I've ever been inside. Moreover, no one objected to me sitting down and reading an entire book. What is this place doing in Holland?
The Dutch speak native-sounding English, house several international institutions, have given over much of their historic capital city to drug and sex tourism, have turned one of their most impressive churches (the Nieuwe Kerk in Dam Square) into a Jewish history museum and came close to electing Pim Fortuyn to high office. Color me confused.
I next spent five days in Paris, marveling at the usual delights and trying to soak up the legendary atmosphere. It was refreshing to see so many Americans again- at time I felt like I was in Washington or New York. I spent Easter Sunday in Paris, participating in the Mass at Notre Dame and wandering around the Musée d'Orsay for the rest of the day. Due to a seating shortage, I ate lunch in the museum cafe with an older woman who had taken the train up from Provence for the day just to catch the temporary exhibition on "Degas and the Nude." Old French ladies have spunk.
From then it was on to Barcelona to meet up with a group of Holy Cross kids before embarking a trip through Andalusia with my friend Jake. I only got the quick tour through Barcelona and didn't hear much Catalan spoken so the whole experience fed my curiosity.
Andalusia was a trek from one cheap accommodation to another, hiding from the sun and dragging ourselves into the region's gargantuan cathedrals. However, as a veteran of high school Spanish and longtime Spanish guitarist, I got a lot out of stretches in Seville and Cordoba.
The Andalusian leg, brought the highlight of the trip. Our one full day in Granada, we hauled ourselves out of bed before sunrise to stand in line for tickets to the Alhambra Palace-Fortress nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains. A relic from Moorish Spain, the Berber rulers built the Alhambra to defend against attack and to create palaces and gardens that would approximate the Koran's description of heaven. They were successful in the latter.

iFlicks – Your Videos To iTunes 10
iTunes seems to be used more an more on your Mac (and Windows) it is becoming your one stop shop for all of your digital media. One of the problems I face when using iTunes is importing video media. It doesn't seem as fluid as the other sections, as well as this it never seems to have all of the tagged information of music. This is where iFlicks comes in, it is a video importer for iTunes. Its designed to manage you video files before your import them into iTunes.
Using iFlicks
Using iFlicks is really simple and clever. Simply select the files you want to import and let it do its magic. The program will go on the net to relevant websites and collect all the data about the video files you have. Say for example you have ripped your movies from DVD's, as long as it has the correct name the program will be able to collect the genre, actors, and loads of other pieces of information.
Once as it has collected everything you can then hit the import button. Depending on your settings it will convert your video files into iTunes and iPod compatible files. These files can then be used to watch on your iPod or other Apple device. The importing section takes no time at all and I was surprise at how quick it was.
Other than adding files to the program and adding all the metadata there isn't a lot to this program. But it does work really well. Adding a whole series to the program take no time at all.
This program is top quality. It works really well. Out of my very limited video collection all of the videos could be tagged and imported. This program is cheap at around $18 so it doesn't break the bank. There are not many negative points to this program. One feature I would like to see is previously imported videos, it has a nice interface and if you are importing hundreds of videos you could waste some time re-importing the same video.
P.S Sorry for the lack of posts over the last couple of days, I have been really busy.
If you want to keep up with the latests post from iLoveMacApps I recommend you subscribe to the RSS Feed.

Though Purbi was happy to see Shruti and the two exchanged a warm hug, we could still sense there was some real takkar between the two hosts.

Comic strip heroes - Zvitorepec
The comic strip celebrated its centenary together with the film (1995/96). Sharing a number of special features such as framed tale, they represent the most characteristic 20th century types of art. Slovene artists have played an active part in both types, however with certain objectively conditioned "delays", hindrances and limitations. Thus it is possible to say that the Slovene film and comic strip are half a century younger than the films and comic strips around the world. The first Slovene "attempts" namely appeared in the period between World War I and World War II (for example the "protocomics" of Hinko Smrekar and Milko Bambič) and they led to the publication of the first real Slovene comic strip with speech balloons Mačji grad (Cat castle) in 1941 (the author Saša Dobril). The actual development began after World War II, particularly in the fifties, when the academy-qualified sculptor Miki Muster, the author of comic strips and animated cartoons, illustrator, caricaturist and writer (scenarist) made his first appearance in the world of comics. Fascinated by Disney's comic strips and animated cartoons from his childhood, Miki drew caricatures and tried his hand at comic strips already as a student. When the illustrated weekly PPP dedicated some space to the "new art" Muster took the challenge: on 11 July 1952 he started publishing Zvitorepčeve prigode (the Tales of Sly Fox). Later the weekly was renamed into TT, but Muster's comic strip continued to be published until 1973.
The central part of Muster's opus is represented by 40 (real comic strip) episodes about the adventures of Zvitorepec, Trdonja and Lakotnik, the caricatured animals that became a part of Slovene folklore. The first is a fox, the second a turtle and the third a wolf. Zvitorepec and Lakotnik are typical Slovene fairy tale characters. Both the fox and the wolf can be found in numerous Slovene fairy tales. The wolf, a negative type of hero until he becomes friends with the other two animals, is a greedy character throughout the story. The wolf and the fox are forest animals. Slovenia, however is not only covered largely by forests but also by water. It has rivers, swamps, lakes and even sea. This feature is represented by the turtle, an animal that feels well in water and on land. Regardless of the situation in which Zvitorepec, Trdonja and Lakotnik find themselves, they remain "Slovene boys" and as such they are also represented on stamps: Lakotnik in the middle of a forest and mountains, Trdonja besides the blue sea and Zvitorepec in the middle of a blooming meadow - the symbol of green Slovenia.

The manual is horrible, I spent some time to set it up, carefully going through the hard to read manual, serial connected the door sensors, turn the Chime on to test, everything is working - confirmed working with two doors sensors when I opened them one by one. So I turned the chime off, use remote to ARM, it beeps 3 times and immediately the alarm went off, no delay, and the alarm kept going no matter what. I can disarm, I walked off and avoid any movement behind the glass door, the alarm keeps going immediately when I press ARM; I then tried the keypad, 0-0-0, or programmed my own x-x-x, it went off IMMEDIATELY, no delay and can not stop. The PULSE has set to 3P, the timing is set to #1 (30 Sec) and #7 (20 sec delay). NOT working. Anyone has the same problem or solution, or this is a defective item??

MBA graduate are not the ruthless, money-grabbing megalomaniacs they are often portrayed, according to the latest research from one organisational behaviour professor at Insead. At least, not all of them are.
"When people think about MBA students they think of corporate suits that are only interested in career progression," says assistant professor Jennifer Petriglieri. "The agenda behind much of my research is to expose this."
Using the MBA classroom for her field research, Prof Petriglieri asks those on the programme to write down what they expect to be doing a decade in the future. "What is most striking is the variety," she says, which is in sharp contrast to the uni-dimensional image of MBA graduates as they are often portrayed.
In the classroom Prof Petriglieri often looks at cases of Insead graduates of a decade ago, examining their career progression, to demonstrate the variety. But today's students are different, she believes. " [There is a view that] what I do in my professional life should reflect what I am as an individual."

Some people find it macabre and some find it a celebration of life on earth. The Capuchin order of Franciscan monks (whose crypt it is) consider it a homage and reminder of the swift passage of life on earth. Located in Rome beneath the 17th century church Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini on Via Veneto near the Piazza Barberini, the walls of this ossuary chapel are lined with thousands of bones, totaling the remains of around 4,000 people.
Just after the church was finished in 1626, remains of thousands of monks from the Capuchin order were removed from an earlier friary to this crypt and nailed to the walls in quite startling patterns, drawing on the then fashionable Baroque and Rococo styles – even in remembrance the Italians are stylish! There are even bones used in the light fittings.
A Capuchin Crypt tour consists of six small chapels: the Crypt of the Resurrection, Crypt of the Skulls, Crypt of the Pelves, Crypt of the Leg Bones and Thigh Bones, Crypt of the Three Skeletons, and The Mass Chapel which has no bones. The skeleton decorations were added to until about 1870.
The Capuchin monks are an offshoot of the Franciscans established in 1525 by a number of monks who wanted to get back to the simple purity of the way Saint Francis himself lived and worshiped. They traditionally wear a simple tunic with a hood and the name Capuchin comes from the word capuce meaning hood.

schedule of daily events
I'm looking for an app that will create a daily schedule of events (for a conference).

BERKELEY SPRINGS - Berkeley Springs prides itself in being a town of the arts.
So it's only fitting that one of the finest restaurants in town is chockfull of displays, exhibits and showcases of local art pieces - not to mention a menu complete with plenty of great food choices.
Tari's Premier Cafe in the heart of downtown offers a calm, peaceful environment for your dining experience. Piano melodies as soothing as the atmosphere itself echo through the dining area as well as the adjoining art gallery, where all pieces you see are available for purchase. Paintings from local artists Jonathan and Jan Heath are some of the more noticeable works of art that adorn the walls of the dining room.
Diners can choose to sit along Washington Street and watch the many locals and tourists walk by, or tuck themselves away in the corner. No matter where you sit, you get the same friendly service from Tari's wait staff.
The lunch menu is full of options. Diners can choose to start off with tempters (appetizers) or soup. Recommended are the lump crab croquettes, which are served with lemon-spiked tartar sauce and a vodka cocktail sauce. Other tempting tempters are the wild woman wings and the goat-cheese, spinach and sun-dried tomato quesadilla. Soups include Tari's famous cream of crab, forest mushroom and French onion.
Tari's also has an abundance of large salads to choose from. A notable is the calypso salad, which adds an amazing combination of grilled chicken, almonds, mandarin oranges and coconut to a bed of mixed greens. It comes with a house sesame-ginger dressing, but don't be afraid to try it with a tangy raspberry vinaigrette as well.
Fact Box
Tari's Premier Cafe
33 N. Washington St.
Berkeley Springs
(304) 258-1196
11 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven
days a week
Burgers, sandwiches, paninis and wraps are among the dishes you can pick up during your lunch break. Burgers are only cooked medium well and above. One thing the restaurant sells plenty of is the beach bum, a lump crab cake served on asiago ciabatta bread with lettuce, tomato and lemon tartar. If you just desire the crab cake without the bread and bayside chips (potato chips with old bay), you can get it with either a fresh salad topped with balsamic and herb vinaigrette or herb and garlic fettuccini. Each dish comes with a side of garlic toast.
The crab cake is much more of the former, as Tari's southern-fried delicacies will not disappoint.
If seafood isn't up your alley, other menu items like a Philly cheese steak, buffalo chicken sandwich or spicy sausage jambalaya, as well as the aforementioned paninis and wraps, will easily satisfy the hungriest diner's appetite.
Tari's also features an extensive list of wines and brews, as well as sodas, coffee, water and fruit juices. A dessert tray also is available for patrons who have somehow left room for dessert.
Tari's also has a much-larger dinner menu, complete with more delightful appetizers and entrees. Prices are moderate and well worth it for an unforgettable meal and experience.

It's TweedleD: Twitter & SMS Alerts with Every Asterisk Call
Twitter Direct Messages and SMS Instant Messages are great ways to send yourself important notes that you want to keep track of... privately. Today, we'll show you how to harness the power of Twitter and SMS to announce every call on your Asterisk® server with the name and number of the caller as well as the DID of the incoming call. Reconfiguring your Asterisk server takes less than 10 minutes. We think you'll find this to be the perfect complement to our free Urang II desktop screenpop utility.
Prerequisites. You'll need one of the Asterisk aggregations to get all of this working quickly. At a minimum, you need Asterisk 1.4 or 1.6, FreePBX, Apache, PHP 5, PHP/AGI, and SendMail or an equivalent. You'll also need a service that provides CallerID name lookups such as CallerID Superfecta. We're assuming you already have all of these components working including outbound email which is necessary to deliver the SMS alerts.
Overview. The design strategy for TweedleD is pretty straight-forward. When a call comes into your server, FreePBX should catch the call in an inbound route that looks for incoming calls on a particular DID. A CallerID Lookup source will be used in the Inbound Route to look up the name of the caller based upon their CallerID number. Then we will use a Custom Destination to route the call to a special Asterisk context which will run the TweedleD AGI script. This script actually sends out the Twitter Direct Messages as well as the SMS messages to your cellphone. Once the script completes its work, the context will send the call along to its final destination, e.g. an extension, a ring group, a day/night control, or an IVR.
NOTE: There is a 100-150 API calls per hour per IP address limit with the Twitter API. If you also are using one or more Twitter clients at your site, this is something worth keeping in mind if you have a busy phone system.
1. FreePBX Custom Context. The trick with designing FreePBX dialplans is to build them in reverse. So we'll start with the custom context and work our way back to the inbound route. First, log into your server as root and edit extensions_custom.conf in /etc/asterisk. At the end of the file, we want to create a new context that looks like this. We've provided several sample destinations at s,5 to show you the syntax. The first routes a call to an extension or ring group number. The second routes the call to Day/Night Control #1. And the third routes the call to an IVR. To find the correct IVR number or day/night control for what you want to do, review the IVR and app-daynight contexts in extensions_additional.conf to find the one you need. Obviously, you only use one s,5 line. Comment out the remaining ones as shown below. For Asterisk 1.6, replace the vertical bars in line s,3 with commas.
2. Installing PHP/AGI Scripts. Next we need to install the script that actually generates the messages for Twitter and SMS. In addition, we'll install Justin Poliey's terrific twitter.lib.php which is a PHP implementation of the Twitter API that lets you do just about anything with Twitter that you could do with the Twitter API itself. For a good writeup on the capabilities of twitter.lib.php, see Antonio Lupetti's article. To install the necessary code, issue the following commands while still logged in as root:
cd /
wget http://bestof.nerdvittles.com/applications/TweedleD.tgz
tar zxvf TweedleD.tgz
rm TweedleD.tgz
cd /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin
3. Configuring TweedleD. Now we need to configure the PHP script with your Twitter and SMS credentials so that TweedleD knows where to send the messages. Edit nv-twitter.php in the /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin directory on your server: nano -w nv-twitter.php. You'll see a section of code near the top of the application that looks like this:
$tweet = 0;
$username = "your-twitter-name";
$password = "your-twitter-password";
$user4msg = "recipients-twitter-name";
$sms = 0;
// $smsaddress = "email@example.com" ; // AT&T
// $smsaddress = "firstname.lastname@example.com" ; // AllTel
// $smsaddress = "email@example.com" ; // Nextel
// $smsaddress = "email@example.com" ; // Sprint
// $smsaddress = "email@example.com" ; // T-Mobile
// $smsaddress = "email@example.com" ; // Verizon
$debug = 0;
$newlogeachdebug = 1;
$emaildebuglog = 0;
$email = "yourname@yourdomain" ;
There are four things you can enable and, depending upon what choices you make, you need to add your credentials for the various options. Let's go through them in the order they appear.
To enable Twitter Direct Messages, change $tweet=0 to $tweet=1. $username and $password are used to set your Twitter login credentials for your Twitter account. You must have one! $user4msg is the Twitter account name where the DMs should be delivered. They do not necessarily have to be delivered to your Twitter account although they can be. Be sure to preserve the quotes! And, remember, you can only send direct messages to people on Twitter that you are following, and they must be following you as well. If in doubt, attempt to send a direct message in Twitter to the desired recipient. Then you'll know for sure. TweedleD provides no error messages if things don't work. 🙁
To enable delivery of SMS messages to your cellphone, set $sms=1. TweedleD actually delivers SMS messages using email. Virtually all of the carriers provide an SMS-Email Gateway for this purpose. The trick is knowing the email domain for your desired carrier. The full list is available here. And here is an even newer Email to SMS Gateway list. In the script, we've provided samples for the major U.S. carriers so, if yours is in the list, just uncomment the appropriate line by removing the leading // on the line and replace 1234567890 with your 10-digit cellphone number.
If you want a debug log generated for each call, set $debug=1. The default is to overwrite the previous log (/var/log/asterisk/nv-twitter.txt) with each new call. If you'd prefer an ever-growing log, set $newlogeachdebug=0.
The debug log also can be emailed to you. Set $emaildebuglog=1 and enter your email address in $email.
When you've completed the configuration, save the file (Ctrl-X, Y, Enter) and reload the Asterisk dialplan: asterisk -rx "dialplan reload".
4. FreePBX Setup. Finally, we need to configure FreePBX to support TweedleD. We'll add a Custom Destination and then adjust our inbound route(s) to support the custom context we added in Step 1. Open FreePBX with a web browser and choose Admin, Tools, Custom Destinations, Add Custom Destination. For the Description, call it TweedleD. For the Custom Destination, enter the following: custom-twitter,s,1. Then click Submit. Now edit your Inbound Routes for the DIDs for which you wish to activate TweedleD. For each inbound route, make sure you have activated a CallerID lookup source and then set the destination to: Custom Destination: TweedleD. Save your changes and reload the dialplan.
Trying Out TweedleD. Now you're ready to place a test call. Just call into your system on one of the DIDs that has been configured for TweedleD. On the Asterisk CLI, you should see an entry that identifies the CallerID name and number of the caller. And, if you've activated delivery of notifications to Twitter and/or SMS, the messages will magically appear within seconds. Enjoy!
Tips of the Week. If you hurry, you can get 25GB of free, password-protected online storage with the new Microsoft SkyDrive offering. Or, for a free incoming call number for your Skype account, check this service out. A new precompiled version of Asterisk 1.6 for Mac OS X Leopard has been released. You can download it here. Finally, Sprint is offering a Netbook for 99¢ with any 2-year EVDO contract at Best Buy stores this week. Regular price for the Compaq Mini is $389.99. Add your cell phone or Asterisk DID to the DO NOT CALL Registry. Just call 888-382-1222 using the CallerID of the number to wish to block.
Sign of the Times. Before you get too comfortable with all your free Google apps, you might want to read this article. Despite assurances to the contrary from Google's President of Enterprise, it seems that the free version of Google Apps has quietly disappeared.
Update: Google Apps team invokes Brain Fart defense saying they momentarily forgot about "free" but it won't happen again. Heh, heh. Official Blog Posting.

Worked first time I tried it, after going through the install steps even without the lookup stuff in place. I fuly expected to have to use the dubug parts, but although that worked a treat as well it was just not required! All I need now is to work out how to integrate better into FreePBX so that I don't need to create a custom context for each inward route (I have many), each of which ends up doing something different. Great add-in, thanks very much.
Hi Ward… Interesting thing to do with Asterisk and Twitter… never thought of mixing the two LOL. I just wrote to thank you for the deal with Vitelity, it works great and very affordable, funny thing though, I got a Puerto Rico DID, but could not make calls to Puerto Rico until I sent them ID and CC copy by fax… Odd!!! Even Vonage knows Puerto Rico is US! Anyway, it's working great now.
Hey, This is so cool. Here is how i use it. In denmark the cellular providers have closed the firstname.lastname@example.com so i can't get SMS BUT i have an iPhone and i can use Push Notifications together with a IM+ which sends me the Push Notification when there is a new DM on my new account. Now i know the numbers who calls in.
There is some nice to have things :
1. Show the trunks name instead of the number that the user was calling into.
2. Support for 24h time.
3. Easy editable text
4. As mentioned Nicholas better way to integrate this into many trunks, i also have many.
The problem with your first step is that it answers the line, which may not be desirable on a DID trunk (doesn't matter so much if the call came through an IVR), and also it doesn't "play well" with the FreePBX way of doing things (by using a dial statement to go directly to an extension, which bypasses all sorts of internal FreePBX routines, which may cause certain features to not work as expected).
I used to use your Urang II utility until I got a Mac and discovered you don't have a Mac version – then I switched to using the technique shown on this page:
There's actually a couple of methods there, but the one I use is the "Alternate Method" shown starting about a third of the way down the page. I believe that method could be easily altered to replace your first step in these instructions. You wouldn't need the perl script there (though you could still use it if you also want the Growl notifications), instead when you go into etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf, in place of (or in addition to) the line
exten => ****525,1,AGI(growlsend.agi,192.168.0.123,GrowlPassWord,525)
You'd use a line of the form
exten => ****525,1,AGI(nv-twitter.php|${CALLERID(name)}|${CALLERID(num)})
Of course you'd have to read the article for this to make sense, but the point is that by doing it using their method you don't answer the line prior to sending the notification, and you don't go outside the normal FreePBX call processing to actually complete the call to the extension.
One other thought: Although the Twitter notifications are a nice touch, I've found that Twitter is not nearly as reliable as some of the more venerable Instant Messaging applications such as AIM, or Google's Jabber-based instant messaging. Since there are even AIM clients available for many phones (and since you don't incur SMS charges when using IM services, and since you aren't limited to a specific number of characters and could therefore include additional information such as the date and time of the call), I wish there were a method as easy as this to send an AIM message whenever when a call comes in.
One other issue with TweedleD at present is that each copy on nv-twitter.php can only handle calls for a single user, due to the fact that the recipients Twitter ID and/or SMS address are hardcoded into the start of the file. Of course it's easy to create multiple copies of nv-twitter.php (with slightly different names) to handle multiple users, but that's not exactly the most elegant way to handle it. I wish this functionality could be placed in a module that would then add appropriate fields to each extension's setup page (for Twitter ID, SMS address, and possibly AIM account name, etc. if you can possibly finagle that) and then if one or more of those fields are filled in, it would send the appropriate notifications when a call comes in. Still, this is great added functionality as it is, so thanks for your work on this.
[WM: Good suggestions. We'll have a look. Thanks, Mike.]
Ward, sorry if my comments upset you in any way. I had assumed that a notification would be sent when a particular extension (or ring group, etc) was rang, I guess it just didn't occur to me that anyone would want a notification that a call was coming in on a DID that could be routed to multiple places (such as through an IVR) until the final destination of the call is determined – after all, if Joe and I can receive calls from the same DID (with the caller making an IVR selection to determine which of us gets the call), I don't want to get notifications of Joe's calls. Not to say that no one would want that, but I wouldn't.
You say that "Indeed, with calls from outside your PBX, it would be impossible to decipher the destination extension without first answering the call." But that's not true in the specific case where a DID is associated with a single extension. And in that case, where you are in fact talking about a DID that normally goes direct to an extension, then the "Answer" statement on line 1 would assure that the call gets answered (possibly resulting in a toll charge for some callers) even if the destination extension is busy or never answers.
So either way there's an issue – if the call (from a DID) goes to an IVR first, then the "Answer" statement doesn't matter because the IVR has (or will) answer the call, but then you have the issue of whether the party that is supposed to get the call also gets the notification. On the other hand, if a DID is associated with a single extension then, unless I'm totally missing something here, that "Answer" statement guarantees the line will "supervise" whether the extension associated with the DID ever answers or not.
Regrading the Perl code, I thought I had specifically said that you wouldn't use that when using your PHP code – your PHP code would replace the Perl code in the article I mentioned. Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough. So, really, I was simply suggesting a different way of calling your code, that would not result in the call being answered (unless that happened in some other part of the call flow) and that would let you send a notification based on extension (or ring group) called.
My comment about the code bypassing internal FreePBX stuff was based on the line that includes "Dial(local/701@from-internal)" – I assumed that 701 was the destination extension (since I see no indication anywhere in the article that it references anything else). Perhaps 701 is some kind of special destination on a PiaF system and you forgot to mention that? But if not, then my comment was simply to reflect the fact that you normally don't include a "Dial" statement to go directly to an extension in a custom context because it could bypass all sort of things such as checking the status of the extension (with regard to Do Not Disturb and similar features), or whether there's a follow-me applicable to that extension that should be observed, and things of that nature. Again, I may be missing something here and if so I apologize, but personally I just wouldn't ever feel comfortable about using a "Dial" statement to go directly to an extension in a FreePBX custom context.
Now having said all that, I saw your FreePBX feature request (that was my first clue that I might have upset you, for which I gain apologize) and I personally thought it was a very valid request and something that many of us have wanted. And it frustrates me no end that the FreePBX developers' standard answer to everything is that all will be fixed when version 3.0 comes out, when if it were up to me I'd prefer they stop doing any work on a new version and just document the existing one. Frankly I think they are going in the wrong direction and that if they ever do come out with this mythical 3.0, a lot of users are not even going to want it because it will be what one person wants (the leader of the FreePBX development team, who can be kind of an arrogant knucklehead at times) and not something that the users or even many of the would-be developers want. Lord knows they've managed to offend enough people who'd like to help develop modules and such for FreePBX, but I probably shouldn't say any more about that. But anyway, I thought your request was very valid and I wish it hadn't been just waved off at it was.
I suppose I shouldn't ask, but have you ever considered using anything other than FreePBX as the GUI in PBX in a Flash? Does anything similar even exist? I'd love to see something similar but that was more of a community-developed project, and not the "baby" of (at most) a small handful of people (but primarily one person) who just don't seem to care about being inclusive, whether it be toward existing users or potential new developers. I love FreePBX to death for the functionality it provides, but just really don't like the way they are so dismissive of feature requests, many module contributions and patches, and even some bug reports, and always seem to be on a quest for the magical but elusive version 3.0.
[WM: Not offended at all. I really appreciate your comments and apologize if my response came across as harsh. I also didn't know my FreePBX request already had been rejected. Sorry to hear that. 🙁
Replying to Mike's comment:
first off I will mention that I saw the ticket get closed and immediately reopened it (before ever seeing this comment here which was just pointed out to me). Feel free to read the ticket and my comment.
As far as your comment "…something similar but that was more of a community-developed project, and not the "baby" of (at most) a small handful of people (but primarily one person) who just don't seem to care about being inclusive, whether it be toward existing users or potential new developers."
I guess all I can say is that you must be smoking something. Go look through the history of FreePBX and it's SVN. And that doesn't tell the whole story given the huge number of checkins that I or others have done on behalf of more casual contributors who have provided their contributions in tickets and forum posts. I seem to recall counting recently, if my memory serves me, there were like 2 dozen people who had svn write access and typcially 6 or so active developers at any given point of time these days?
The issues of inconsistencies, low on documentation, etc are the very results of an extremely community driven effort and it's heritage of how it has grown up very 'un-disciplined' (which isn't a good thing per se but is also what has made it so popular)
As far as v3, it's being done very hands off. I wish I had WAY more time to spend on it. But at the same time, I am enjoying the fact that there are new developers with new perspectives who are getting involved becasue for all the good things in FreePBX, we don't also want to go through a rewrite and end up with some of the same baggage that we have today. But anyhow, there will be more information coming shortly on that front, but I can assure you that the work going on is following the legacy of FreePBX, strong community driven development by some great developers!
So in closing, everyone has the right to their opinion, long live Freedom of Speech. But you may want to consider 'checking your facts' when writing strong opinions like that.
Is there anyway that i could out this inside a FreePBX system so i get notified of an missed call instead of all calls ? I think that could be cool to do. I am often not home and i would like to know if somebody made a call to me and i missed it.

Very easy to prepare and tastes like Ven Pongal (Kaara pongal) when mixed with plain rice and ghee..
- Moong dal – 1/2 cup
- Tomato - 2 nos
- Ginger – 1 inch size (finely chopped)

Ginger has been revered in Indian and Chinese civilizations for over 5000 years for its powerful health imparting properties. In fact, Indian ginger is said to have the most potent medicinal properties.
Due to such a prolonged belief, research on ginger benefits was natural. Sure enough, the results were on expected lines:
Danish researchers found that ginger can block the effects of prostaglandin - a substance that cause inflammation of the blood vessels in the brain and can lead to migraines.
Ginger was found to be effective for relieving the severity of nausea even in cases of pregnancy.
Many women claim that ginger tea helps rid them of menstrual cramps.
It has anti-inflammatory properties that can lessen the pain of rheumatoid arthritis.
Respiratory infections - it is well known for its warming action on the upper respiratory tract, so it has been used to treat colds and flu.
It has been found to be effective in cramps caused by stomach gas. Ginger also stimulates digestion.
It has a wholesome effect on the circulatory system as it makes the platelets less sticky and is of great benefit in case of circulatory disorders.
As a mood enhancer, ginger's cineole content may help contribute to stress relief.
It is a great mouth freshener and ginger tea has vastly refreshing properties.
In all, incorporating a ginger intake in your daily routine can lead to definite wholesome effects. Tulsi Ginger Tea combines the unique properties of Organic Indian Ginger with the powerful Basil Herb. It is a refreshing drink which will help you gain from the virtues of these medicinal herbs.
Additional InformationIn additional to the many benefits it is also good to know that there are no known drug side effects. Ginger does not interact with any other nutrients or drugs in the body and ginger in all forms is very safe to take.
Ginger capsules should be taken with a full glass of water or fluid. Ginger can be taken the day after surgery to prevent post surgery nausea but should be stopped at least three to four days prior to surgery, due to the fact that it can make blood platelets less sticky and therefore increases the risk of bleeding. For people undergoing radiotherapy or chemotherapy, ginger taken with food can help reduce stomach irritation.
There are, however, some cautions that have been recommended. These include not taking ginger for more than the first two months of pregnancy and no more than 250mg four times a day. People with gallstones should consult their doctors prior to taking ginger as it is know to increase bile flow.
With all this in mind it is clearly visible that the benefits of ginger far out weight the cautions mentioned.
About Jeera (Cumin)
Jeera, an integral part of Indian cooking, has numerous benefits. It not only enhances taste of different curries but also has medicinal qualities.
It helps build a healthy appetite.
Soak 4 teaspoons of jeera in ½ cup of lemon juice for 15 minutes in a bowl. Take the jeera out and mix it with two tablespoons of ghee (clarified butter) and sugar (to taste). Cook this mixture on medium heat till it reaches a paste like consistency. Store this in a container and eat two teaspoons of this mixture before going to sleep. In a few days you'll notice your appetite improve greatly!
Good remedy for sleeplessness
Boil 2 teaspoons of jeera in 250ml of water for 10 minutes. Filter this and drink 100ml of this wtare befor egoing to bed. This is a good cure for sleeplesness.
Moong dal:
Moong dal is a good body builder food for vegetarians. This food provides high protein and is very digestible. The other benefit is that there is only a small amount of fat contribution, another postive advantage over meat products that contain a lot of fat.Moong dal can be boiled with rice to make a nutritious meal, known as 'khichdi' in gujrat. Very healthy for people who are willing to sacrifice taste for a better you.

WILLIAMSTOWN - Authorities are investigating a single-vehicle accident which took two lives late Sunday afternoon at Williamstown.
Williamstown Police Chief Shawn Graham said the Williamstown Police Department investigated the single-vehicle accident which occurred about 4:50 p.m. Sunday on Highland Avenue (West Virginia 14) near the Williamstown Welcome Center near Interstate 77.
Graham said the driver of the vehicle was identified as Don Wesley Barnhart, 38, of New Matamoras, and the passenger as Henry Clemente Lori Jr., 52, of Marietta.

A utility pole leans against lines just off Highland Avenue following a double fatality wreck near the West Virginia Welcome Center in Williamstown on Sunday.
The 1995 Ford Mustang was northbound on Highland Avenue when it lost control and left the right roadway edge, Graham said. The vehicle overcorrected and went across the double yellow line before it overcorrected a second time and left the roadway, driving through a utility pole.
The force of the collision sent the vehicle across the property of River City Perk where Barnhart was ejected, he said. Both Barnhart and Lori were were pronounced dead at the scene, Graham said.
Graham said the accident remains under investigation and it has not yet been determined whether alcohol might have been a factor.
"Speed was definitely a factor, however," he said Sunday night.
Witnesses reported the vehicle driving in an erratic manner and at a higher than legal speed in the moments before the accident, Graham said. At least one witness thought the vehicle might pass him on the right, on the gravel berm, before it went left across double-yellow lines to get around him, Graham said.
The vehicle was listed as a total loss.
The Williamstown Police Department was assisted in the investigation by members of the Wood County Crash Investigation Team. The Williamstown Volunteer Fire Department and St. Joseph's Ambulance Services were both on scene as well.

Does anyone rate Nine Inch Nails? I have been curious for a while. I've heard comparisons of 1.Outside to NIN, so obviously intrigued. Any recommended albums? I was thinking of Downward Spiral for Bowie related reasons (Adrian Belew / Reptile, Hurt). Also i've got Johhny Cash's reading of Hurt, which (along with the video) is one of the most affecting songs i've ever heard, and am now eager to hear the original.At the record shops NIN has always been in the 'Metal' section. I'm not a big fan of heavy music, so maybe i might not like. Any advice welcome. Its about time I had a signature
On the Live Hate bootleg from 95 Bowie and NIN play some songs together and they sound superb Hurt and Reptile especially. However the boot also containd the whole NIN set wich is not very impressive really.
If you're not into heavy music it would be better to try The Fragile or better yet, the bonus acoustic cd Still for the live cd And All That Could Have Been. The Downward Spiral is pretty heavy save for one or two songs.NIN's albums are just as diverse as Bowie's albums though, so there's bound to be something you like.
There is also an excellent boot from 95, Live.Inside. Bowie+NIN.Dunno much about NIN though. Judging from the I'm Afraid Of Americans single, I wouldn't like it much. NIN fans seet to be a rather dim bunch, cuz they seemed to leave in large numbers when NIN left the stage for Bowie.just my2cent...nothing more Submit your live related Bowie material to BowieLive today!
nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin nin Don't know much about them, I just like say nin nin. I've seen a few of their videos and they seem pretty dated to me.My hormones don't rage. Oh sure, they get mad sometimes, but then they just stop speaking to each other
...We are the Knights Who Say "NIN"!Sorry, couldn't resist.But yeah, I'm a Nine Inch Nails fan, and it would be Bowie who turned me on to the wonderful world of Reznor.There are similarities to "1.Outside", especially with "The Hearts Filthy Lesson" in most of NIN's work. I'd recommend "Pretty Hate Machine" and "The Downward Spiral" as must-haves for anyone who wants to get into NIN.As for the original version of "Hurt", it's an average NIN tune, but a spectacular Johnny Cash tune. According to Mark Romanek, who directed the music video for "Hurt", as well as the videos for Bowie's own "Jump They Say" and NIN's "Closer", Cash's version of "Hurt" moved Reznor to tears.Not suprising, really. That song gets to me every time...Cash's is definately the superior version. NIN's is slower, and in a completely different key. Even though Reznor wrote it, the emotion is much less powerful, ironic because Cash really sings it like he wrote it, meaning every word. Also, there's a slight tweaking of the lyrics, since Cash didn't want to say "shit". The song doesn't really pick up until around the chorus or so, and then it sounds like something out of a modern-day Western soundtrack. I don't like how the song ends though, when Reznor gets to the line "I would find a way", but that's just my own personal taste.God is an American.
I love NIN, they are highly experimental, rather than compare anything they do to Outside I would compare them more to a far, far grumpier version of Low and "Heroes" and in a sense Gary Numan. I strongly recommend "And all they could have been", which is outstandingly good. Then get The Fragile, Broken and Pretty Hate Machine. Stay well away from any remix CDs (Things Falling Apart, Futher Down the Spiral and Fixed) and The Downward Spiral (althought being critically loved) is a heavy CD. Who needs talent these days if you make out with your friend on stage? - Rabbitfighter
I have to agree with you there,I know zilch about them,But i figure if Bowie likes them?,Then a listen must be in order.London Bye Ta-Ta...
I believe your first (and perhaps only) stop in the NIN catalog should be The Downward Spiral. A true masterpiece, even if you're not a fan of heavy/industrial music (I know I'm not).If you like Spiral and want more, you should also check the Broken EP, which has a similar sound. The Fragile is also nice, a compromise between heavy, industrial poundings, ambient textures and electronic beats.I know that Pretty Hate Machine is often cited as the band (guy?)'s best record, but to me it sounds dated as hell...cheap 80's synths-a-gogo, sounds more like Depeche Mode's ugly cousin.Have fun!--------------------------------------Music is the best.
NIN's fragile is a great album, Mike Garson plays on a song or two, Also NIN is one of the greatest live acts, shame they don't tour much. "You'll have to take me just the way that you find me."

PARKERSBURG - Wood County commissioners will be visiting the Washington County animal shelter Thursday and had planned stop at Upshur and Monongalia counties on Friday, looking for options for Wood County's own animal control issues.
The county's $271,344 contract with the Humane Society of Parkersburg for animal control services expires June 30. Citing rising costs, humane society officials had requested a 10 percent raise in the contract, which the county denied. The humane society then notified the commission as of July 1 it will eliminate its three humane officer posts, taking it out of the animal control business. If the county still wants to contract with the humane society to house animals, the cost would be $202,746. The county is required by code to provide animal control services relating to dogs and has over the years chosen to contract with the humane society for those services.
The three commissioners visited the Point Pleasant shelter on Monday. It is a county-run facility, with a capacity of 40 dogs and 36 cats.
"They do some things a little differently; they only take animals from residents of their county. At one time they had over 400 dogs because they were accepting animals from neighboring communities," said Commissioner Blair Couch.
The shelter has three employees and costs the county about $135,000 annually to operate.
"It's a nice facility, well-run. They do a good job. I was impressed. They work diligently with animal rescue groups. They have an intake fee for dogs and cats and adoption rates. They require an adopted pet be spayed or neutered within 30 days or the new owner gets a ticket from the humane officer," Couch said. "They offered their help in the interim with euthanization services if Wood County needed them."
"My key concern is being able to operate in a cost-effective manner, and the fear that if we try to open something too fast, we run the risk of a shoddy facility, and I can't support that. In creating a facility, we need to think long-term, I think that's the approach we have to take," Couch said. "We have to explore all the options, do our due diligence."
Wood County commission President Wayne Dunn said when visiting the sites he will be looking at cost-effectiveness of the operations.
"I want to see their facilities and how much they cost. Personally I think we still need to be talking with our humane society, but we need to do this first. If this is better for us, we can go this route, but I suspect we had the best deal to begin with, and now we're just going to lose ground," Dunn said.
Both Dunn and Commissioner Steve Gainer said Monday they will not be able to visit the shelters in Monongalia and Upshur counties on Friday as previously planned. Dunn said he would visit the facilities on his own. Couch had still planned to go to the facilities Friday.
"After we see these four places, we just have to sit down and look at the costs and the administration of a new program and the hassles that are going to be there. As it is now, the humane society does a great job, and they were willing to accept the hassles. We'll have to look at all the costs, insurance, liability, I suspect there are a lot of hidden costs," Dunn said.
The goal, according to the commission president is "even if it's a temporary solution, to do something before the contract with the humane society expires on June 30."
