Just a little bit, a little bit at a time, Lord.
Kafka was a dillhole, Orwell was a submissive? depends on who you ask. . .
So what did just happen?
There has been a very lot of very important very very this week and I could let you know what I've heard myself but, it isn't anything. I'd just be repeating what you can find on your own. I have no insight or new knowledge, but a lot of questions.
If I started putting out my conjecture about what has just 'gone done' and why, I'd me just fanning the flames of conflation of simultanious events as being related, or reveeling, by just making a good guess, someones close to the mark explanation about how and why and who and who's doing it and when will it end, etc.
I ran into someone who I didn't know who wanted to show me a photo of him in Vegas with a famous Rock Star (who I love) and it was cool. and I was like 'way cool. But then I asked him 'how it was' in Las Vegas since the beginining of last month. Were people still upset? He said not that he saw. So what can I conclude from that ? Business as usual? I'm asking questions and no one can answer them so why?
One of the euphemisms that is being used to describe the mass-arrests in Suadi is that there is a 'corruption probe' going on. Another was that it is a 'counter coup'.
Two 'princes' died in unexpected suddenness, one in an heliocoptor crash, the other in a fire fight with his body guards defending him. So the government by consensus is over? Or did the situation warrent this for reasons that won't be put forward for 75 years because the nature of it is too sensative?
And our State Department is on board with the on-going 'corruption probe' in Saudi. There are many other dots in this constilation that we could connect. I't all over the news who is connected to who, who was puppetting who. And as we know the things that come from one place that are lauded are often copied elsewherre. We know that Saudi didn't invent the purge, but they sure have given us all food for speculation.
But what do I know? Nothing. If there are executions I'd prefer there also be trials. In the world of kings and international regime mongering, and funding of foreign operations, know this: they don't just go and target anyone for no reason. There is always a reason that these things happen. And it's never just arbitrary and it's not without a lot of forethought. So we can make up something. And most of us will. It will trouble us. We'll glom around The Net looking for frozen insight, something dated from before, when we didn't know, someone who might have been eyes open and wide and sucking in the stream of what is actually ahppening.
The narrative of 'corruption probe' is . . . lacking. People will write a Hamlet. to fill in the blanks. They'll cast politicians as failed Lady McBeth's. She'll be bubbling in toil and troubling (very troubling)
Ya, so explanations are scant. And now Twitter has upped the number of characters that they allow. Wow. So if it's dumb before, with twice as many characters is it twice as dumb?
Ya, if I don't know why am I going on with this?

Yard work is a necessary part of having a dwelling in New England. You must clean up the debriss that gathers, or else you yard will turn into a forest. You have to clear away the growth of trees that you don't want, or else you're yard will become a thicket. And if a tree gets too big, it's very expensive later to have it removed.

Coders Edge
Fedora core 27 is coming out this week, and I jumped the gun and did the upgrade on two of my machines. I have to say it's been rather flawless. Cudos to Fedora for getting the dnf system-upgrade right this time.
I have a legacy system that's about a little more than 10 years old. I replaced it as my desktop box, but I decided to leave it as a server. It's got Nvidia, so that's been an ongoing issue over the years. But I got the blender bug, and I decided to upgrade to a dual head nvidia system so that I could render much faster (much much faster). My recommendation is that it is worth the money if you are graphically inclined, and that's a good reason to do it. One of the main purposes for doing this is to do VR, but the only VR I do is crafting in minetest. I do that as a hobby. I also like to make tuxkarts, for the game supertuxkart. It took some time to get more proficcient. I came up with some ways of doing it. It really comes down to, in blender, learning, learning, and learnig more. Blender is one of those realms where you couldn't possibly use it all or know it all about the product. It's too fast. And not only that, it's got boucoutte plug-ins (in python) so . . . it's a real big thing."
My oldest system, that will still boot, though I haven't done it in years, is a legacy Compaq 'notebook' computer, a big black brick of a thing, heavy and it was very cool (very very cool) when it was new. Years ago there was a 30 days of the dead and I loaded on 30 days of Grateful Dead songs and turned that machine into playbox. But, as it is in the real world, when would I ever have call to use the thing? If I set up a music server, why do I want to run a 20 year old machine with a ten year old operating system? But it's cool to have a working copy of FC10 (or whatever the version of fedora was in 2006 or so). I suppose I could try and yank the drive and load the latest just to see how it works. In lieu of getting a new music machine, I think that I should investigate what I already have. Even though some of the android from a few years back really are inadequate the way that they are, they do have a lot of good features that a non-hobbled operating system (I consider Android OS a hobbled version of Linux, Google built their house on usurping open source. I see no advantage to keeping and maintaining an Android system. If it is to be made into something useful it mostly needs to have a less commercial, and more real-time operating system. But I just haven't gotten to the part where I take the mistake purchase that I made of an android tablet, some years back, and have some old version of Android on it. I think I got a hobbled version of the OS. I wouldn't be so derisive of it if it were actually a reasonible operating system that let you upgrade to a new version, like you can with Fedora and linux.
I have an old phone that I could convert to a linux. I haven't tried to do it. I guess it's doible, as long as the thing is 'unlocked'. But . . . instead . . . I would rather work with a newer system.

JACKSON — Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne surveyed the crowd gathered at Centenary State Historic site and told a story 3,500 years in the making.
His story was a brief history of Louisiana, and an important part of it happened 200 years ago on Jan. 31, 1815, when a law was signed making Jackson the parish seat of Feliciana parish. It was named in honor of Gen. Andrew Jackson, the hero of the Battle of New Orleans, who would one day be the seventh president of the United States.
Dardenne was the keynote speaker during the Founder's Day celebration in Jackson. Acknowledging the budget challenges the state is facing, Dardenne reminded the audience surrounding the porch of the restored Professor's Cottage that Louisiana's culture and history are unique and worth protecting.
"I encourage you to recognize and remember and preserve the great history we have," Dardenne said.
His history lesson began with the settlement of Poverty Point by Native Americans in North Louisiana and followed with mention of DeSoto's discovery of the Mississippi River, LaSalle's naming of Louisiana after King Louis the 14th, and Bienville and Iberville's journeys'.
Dardenne explained the French and Spanish influence in New Orleans and the confluence of those cultures with Africans that created the uniqueness of the Creole influence.
The Louisiana Purchase from France for $16 million — $6 million more than was authorized by Congress and President Thomas Jefferson — turned out to be a great bargain that amounted to three cents per acre and forever changed our young country, he said. In 1812, Louisiana became the 18th state.
And later the Battle of New Orleans in 1814, when Gen. Jackson led a rag-tag army against the vaunted British, and on a battlefield in Chalmette, within 45 minutes, the invaders were decimated, he said.
"We were different in 1812, and we remain different today," explained Dardenne, calling the state a "human gumbo."
"We are a state that has preserved our history," Dardenne said. "It's important to be proud of Jackson's history, and it's important to be preserved."
He explained that like Gen. Jackson, Louisiana brought people from different backgrounds together and compared it to the town that was named in his honor.
"Louisiana is a wonderfully unique state, and that diverse background is what gives us our personality and our interesting politics," Dardenne said. "If we don't learn from our past, we'll never be able to build for the future."
State Rep. Kenny Havard, who represents District 62 in the Legislature, was raised in Jackson.
Speaking to the crowd, Havard looked around the Centenary State Historic Site grounds and said, "I used to play on these grounds right here. It's something we should all be proud of. I live in St. Francisville now, but Jackson will always be my home."
The day was full of fun activities around Jackson and was organized by town officials and the Bicentennial Bash Commission.

Patriots offensive line faces challenge
In back to back games, the Patriots offensive line has not given up a sack and the challenge won't be any easier this week against the Ravens. Baltimore has seven sacks in its 3-0 stretch, tied for eighth in the league.
Tom Brady has been sacked once this season.
"They're doing great," Brady said of the offensive line. "They've been together for a long time, so they know the calls, they know the schemes. Offensive lines typically get a lot better as they play together and these guys have been together and relatively very healthy which we've been lucky with. They're very well coached and they all play well together. We've played some challenging defenses. … Our guys are always up for the challenge and they're always prepared.
"It's pretty awesome to have one sack over the first three weeks of the year."

Unanswered: Bug in Copy command??!
Postgres 7.3
I'm using the copy command to fill my tables. I've got this file with the data with delimiter '\t' and 'isnull' for nulls as follows:
copy mytable FROM '/usr/share/postgresql/data1/skripte/Daten/mytable' using delimiters '\t' with null as 'isnull';
But I receive an error saying that 'the value is too long for type varying(1)' This because I am filling a column defined as numeric(1) with nulls. Or in other cases I get a 'bad numeric input'
But if I insert some values into the table with 'insert', including nulls and then do
copy mytable TO '/usr/share/postgresql/data1/skripte/Daten/mytable' using delimiters '\t' with null as 'isnull';
the file looks exactly the same as my original one!!How do I insert nulls into a numeric field with the copy command??
Am i missing something??

This application claims priority from U.S. provisional application No. 60/338,730 filed Nov. 5, 2001, which is incorporated herein by reference.
This application relates generally to telephone call management, and more particularly to supplying call management capabilities utilizing a television.
Oftentimes, when a telephone call is unanswered for a certain number of rings (i.e. a predetermined time), the call is redirected to a messaging system adapted to receive at least voice messaging. In many cases a TAD (telephone Answering Device) is located at the subscriber premises. Such TADs often allow the subscriber to hear the message as it is being recorded, thus allowing the subscriber to pick up the call if desired. The capacity to listen to the incoming message without answering the call is called 'call preview' in these specifications. Many telephony service providers and PBX (Private Branch Exchange) systems offer voice mail—TAD like services—integrated into the telephony network. Some PBX's provide call preview services by using either dedicated keys on specialized telephones, or by complex dialing sequences. Some PBX systems connect to the user's computer and deliver call management via the computer. However public telephony services provide little if any call management features like the call preview. None provide the capacity for call retrieval, i.e. the capacity to answer the call after it was directed to the voice mail. Even advanced wireless telephony communication services such as GPRS (General Purpose radio Service) fail to provide such services. One of the reasons for the lack of service is due to the fact that the recording occurs in a messaging server remote to the subscriber home. Most simple telephones do not offer out of band signaling for controlling the operation as well as perform call screening. Thus not only is the user prevented from listening to the recorded message as it is being recorded, the telco (traditional telephony networks) or wireless based voice mail does not allow the user to 'change his/her mind' and pick up the call after it got directed to the voice mail service, as offered by a home based TAD. One exception to this limitation is described by Dee et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 6,266,524. However the Dee et al. does not allow call screening without the use of the telephone itself, which presents a disadvantage if the phone is used otherwise, such as during a "call waiting" incoming call.
There exist today the methods for providing caller identification (Caller ID, or CID henceforth) on a subscriber television. An example of such methods is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,754,546 to Voit et al.
Broadband system such as television distribution systems have been used as alternative to common carrier telephony systems. Typically, such system will have a class 5 telephony switch or a softswitch—a telephony switch driven primarily by software, installed in a television distribution center such as a headend, and interfaces with the telco network. From here on this example will refer to the softswitch, with the understanding that other telephony switching or interfacing that provide similar functionality may be substituted. The softswitch also interfaces with the headend, and utilizes the television distribution to distribute calls to the subscriber home. Oftentimes, the softswitch includes capabilities such as voice mail, call redirection, and the like. Generally, the softswitch is coupled to the headend to carry out the conversation, to learn if a telephone was picked up, etc. Oftentimes, the softswitch is communicating with the telco domain using SS7—a popular interface standard between telephony switching equipment. However even television distribution systems based telephony, fails so far to provide the call preview or the call retrieval features.
Thus, there is an unfulfilled need for easy-to-use call and massage management with a telephony provider automated answering services.
The present invention aims to supply call management features such as call preview and call retrieval using a combination of television and telephone. Preferably, the invention also provides caller ID services utilizing a television. It is further an object of the present invention to provide telephone call control capabilities such as control of messaging applications, and call directing, utilizing a television. Preferably, most call control services are performed in real time.
In the preferred embodiment, telephone calls arrive at telephony switch 25 (preferably a softswitch) from the PSTN (Public Switched Telephony Network) network. Preferably, CID (Caller Identification) information is also displayed on the television. However this step is optional. Information regarding the origin telephone number and information regarding the destination telephone number are retrieved and sent from telephony switch 25 to the telephony-television gateway 10 (TTG hereinafter). The TTG transmits the information, as video or as data, using transmission equipment 15, to STB 40 which displays the information on television 35. Simultaneously, or with a short delay, the telephony switch transfers the call to the subscriber's premises. In some cases, the caller ID data is transmitted between the first and second ring, and thus the ring occurs before the information is received and then transmitted to the television.
If the user does not pick up the phone (i.e. does not respond to the call), the call is redirected after a certain amount of time to a messaging server 90 adapted to receive at least voice mail messages. In these specifications, during the recording of the message, the telephone session becomes a 'messaged telephony session', or the 'messaged call'. The system provides the user with capability to listen to the message while it is being recorded. In the more preferred embodiment, the user may instruct the TTG to redirect the messaged call, to his premises.
Stated differently, the invention provides a messaging interface adapted to interface Television Telephony Gateway (TTG) to a voice capable messaging system adapted to receive messages of said incoming call if the call is not answered within a preset time. A preferred manner of achieving this aspect includes an instruction receiver adapted to receive instructions from a user, and the TTG being adapted to, responsive to said instruction, to receive a voice message from said messaging system and deliver the message to a selected video terminal associated with the user. A further preferred aspect of the invention provides for call retrieval, responsive to an instruction from a user. I.e., in response to a user command, the TTG instruct a telephone system from which the incoming call information arrives, to attempt to reconnect said unanswered call to the user, or an alternative phone number. Alternatively, the call may be otherwise redirected, such as by means of an alternative phone, or a television based phone system.
Thus an aspect of the invention comprises an apparatus and a system for providing call management services via television. The apparatus comprises a TTG that is adapted to couple directly or indirectly to a television distribution system, such as a cable network, and via that distribution system to a subscriber television. The TTG is also adapted to couple directly or indirectly to a telephony switch and receive information therefrom.
Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, the invention provides for a telephony television gateway apparatus adapted to operate in conjunction with a television distribution system, a telephony switch, and a messaging server adapted to record messages from a telephony network. The apparatus comprises a call information receiver adapted to monitor signals from the telephony switch or messaging server, the signals reflect information regarding a telephony session; a correlator adapted to associated the telephony session information with associated set-top boxes coupled to said distribution network; and transmission coupling equipment adapted to couple a message from said messaging server to the associated set top box, wherein said coupling occurs during the time said message is being recorded. Preferably, the coupling occurs responsive to user commands that are communicated to the system via a user command receiver. A parser parses the user commands and is adapted to communicate with the telephony switch, the messaging server or with both. The term session information may relate to an ongoing session or an attempted session. Thus the invention may be used both on a regular telephone call and on a 'call waiting' type call, which is a service commonly offered to allow more than one incoming call to be active at the same time (even if one is on 'hold' status).
In a more preferred embodiment, the TTG is adapted to instruct said telephony switch to attempt re connecting a messaged telephony session to the user associated with the session, or to another telephone, responsive to user commands. In this respect the user associated with the session is the one to whom the call was initially directed.
In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for call management using a television, the method comprising the steps of responsive to user commands, coupling a voice mail message to a television set associated with a user to which the message is directed, while said message is being recorded. This aspect on its own provides for call preview capability via a television. Preferably, prior to recording the message the method includes the steps of directing an incoming telephone call to a telephone associated with the user; routing the incoming call to a messaging server if the incoming call is unanswered during a predetermined period. Thus the telephony session becomes a messaged call; and then recording said message by said messaging server. preferably, the method further comprises the step of displaying information related to said incoming call, on the television set. Such information may comprise of the caller ID (origin number, caller identification, or a combination thereof) of the incoming call, the fact that a message is being recorded, and the like. However the term 'displaying' in this context may also include a voice annunciation, and other similar alerting methods.
In the most preferred embodiment of this aspect of the invention, the method further comprises the step of rerouting said messaged call to said telephone, responsive to user command. Alternatively, the method may comprise the step of rerouting said messaged call to a telephone specified by a user command.
Optionally, the call information receiver module is further adapted to receive termination indication from the telephony side, responsive to establishment or termination of said telephony session or the termination of the attempt to establish said session. The transmission coupling equipment is constructed to stop the transmission responsive to the termination indication. Alternatively, the transmission equipment is constructed to stop the transmission after a time delay, independently, or more likely under computer control.
Additional benefits of the system are considered, such as providing a pre-recorded announcement to nuisance callers such as telemarketers that their call is unwanted, prior to disconnecting them without recording a message. Optionally, the user may select the message played for the caller from a group of pre-recorded messages, by instructing the voice mail server, via the TTG, which message to play. Alternatively, the voice message selection entered by the user may be directed to the telephony switch that will direct the message to one of a plurality of voice mailboxes.
Clearly, the receiver module can be adapted to couple to a telephony switch directly or indirectly, as needed, and such manner of connection is a matter of technical choice. Also preferably, the transmission coupling equipment is constructed to transmit the information to the television terminal in the form of a video signal, a voice signal or data signal.
In these specifications, the term television distribution system signifies any system, wired or wireless, adapted for distributing television signals. Examples of a television distributing system include, but are not limited to, cable television, terrestrial, satellite, DSL, radio frequency, cellular and the like television signal distribution systems.
The terms 'set top box' interchangeably referred to as 'television terminal' or by the acronym STB, includes any external, internal, or other television controller or tuner for downstream or upstream feed. The set-top box need not be a separate box, but may be an integral part of some television models. The set-top box acts as an interface between the television and the television distribution system. The terms 'user' and 'subscriber' are used interchangeably, to denote the person or persons to whom the incoming call is directed.
Digital television transmission allows addressing specific information directly to specific subscriber by sending information to one or more set top boxes associated with the subscriber. The set-top box needs only minimal programming if any, to display the information for the specific user, and thus offers a 'private' programming channel like feature to operate on most STB's available today. One method of causing such display is described in a U.S. provisional application No. 60/308,737 filed Jul. 30, 2001 by Yaakov Dekel, entitled "Addressing specific transport stream program into subscriber's set-top box". This application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Other methods exist to address more specific types of STB, such as providing an STB that is programmed to be aware of its address and adapted to change the programming on the television. Additionally, some STB types are adapted to operate as programmable computers, utilizing the television screen as a video display.
If the call is not received by the subscriber (the line is busy, the user does not answer, or declines to answer due to caller ID, etc.) the call is transferred by the telephony switch 25 to the voice mail 90. At this point the call becomes a messaged call. It should be noted that the location and ownership of the voice messaging server or the telephony switch may vary, i.e. they may reside in the television domain, or in the telco domain, or any other arrangement that allows routing and cooperation therebetween. Preferably at the time that a recording actually begins, a notification is sent from the telephony network to the TTG 120 via a data link. (Note that the data link and the audio link may be physically connected using the same line however in the depicted embodiment, gateway 125 interfaces between the SS7 and the TTG. It is fed with control signals, which can be any type of control in the server side and SS7 control in the SS7 side. The gateway 125 also receives AUDIO signals, that are SS7 connection in the SS7 side, and any audio connection in the server side. From the SS7 side the gateway acts as a STP and SSP. The TTG 120 generates a voice mail recording notification and sends it to the subscriber STB 160 which displays it on the TV screen 170 (or otherwise alerts the subscriber, e.g. by an audio message). The subscriber uses the remote control 180 in order to send commands to the server via the STB and the broadband network. The subscriber has three basic possible commands: Cancel, Pickup, and listen.
If the subscriber selects the cancel option the notification is removed from the screen. The message is being recorded for later retrieval as known.
If the subscriber selects the Listen option, the TTG 120 sends a command to the telephony switch. The switch duplicates the audio that is sent to the Voicemail 110 and sends a copy to the TTG. The TTG decodes the audio and transmits it to the subscriber STB via the broadband network. The STB send the audio to the TV speaker. If this option is selected, it is preferable to continue and display a command menu, to offer the option to stop listening, Pickup, or other options as desired.
If the subscriber selects the Pickup option, the server commands the telephone switch to rout the call again to the subscriber phone and stop the routing it to the voice mail and to the server. The phone rings and the subscriber receive the call. Alternatively, the user may dictate an alternative phone number to which the call be directed, and the call is thus directed to that number.
Preferably the user also receives the option to disconnect the caller during the call recording. This will offer an appropriate solution to unwanted calls such as telemarketing, etc. Optionally, a message, pre-recorded or made on the fly by the user, may be delivered to the caller, explaining that the call is unwanted prior to disconnecting the caller.
It will be noted that the action of duplicating the audio stream may be performed by the voicemail function 90, which may reside in the telco or in the broadband domain. Also, in this embodiment, the TTG is connected to SS7 network. Thus the TTG is preferably connected to the telephone network 200 in two connections: one is the datalink 215, to the SCP (210) and the other to a gateway (220) receives control and audio trunk(s) (230) to the SS7 network
The "displayable format" can be a logic command which the STB client can display, a list of graphic primitives, an XML or a HTML file, etc. All of those formats may be sent using out of band data or in-band data, and the signalling method used is a matter of technical choice. If the selected signalling method is direct video, it can be sent using an in-band video stream. The preferred method is to use OOB (out of Band) data so the notification can be displayed when the subscriber is tuned to any channel.
When the user selects a command (cancel, listen, pickup, etc.) the user command receiver 360 parses the data. If needed, it queries the user command correlator 340, which gets the subscriber phone number form the data base 370 or from the controller 410. If the nature of the command dictate (e.g. listen), the user command receiver sends a command to the call control commands generator 320 which generates a command (Listen or Pickup) and send it to the phone network using a protocol appropriate to the system involved. When audio is received in the audio interface 380, the controller 410 uses the phone number for detecting the STB address, and sends it to the audio streamer 400. The phone number can be received using the audio link or the data link. Alternative methods of correlation, such as session identification may also be utilized. The audio is encoded by the audio encoder 390 and is streamed by the audio streamer 400 to the transmission coupling equipment 500. The audio transmission can be done as MPEG audio streaming (preferred), as in-band data, out of band data stream, or any other method applicable for transferring audio to an STB.
When the user selects the Pickup option, the controller commands the Audio streamer to stop transmitting the audio. The controller 410 is responsible for synchronization between the two directions of the data link and the audio link, and for managing the subscriber session as required. The headend transmission coupling equipment is largely dependent on the broadband network type, equipment, and configuration. Generally, the transmission coupling equipment provides the data in a manner that can be decoded at the other side, and the rest of the packaging, modulation, multiplexing and the like is provided by the broadband network operator. Clearly, the coupling equipment may also comprise sufficient equipment to couple directly to the broadband network.
Sometimes it is advantageous to record a telephone conversation, for example to avoid the need of taking notes during one. Thus an optional call management aspect of the invention further contemplates a method for recording the conversation, as shown in
It will be clear that the order provides for the recording is again highly dependent on the communication setup and is a matter of engineering choice. Thus for example, the TTG may have a more direct access to the audio, if the telephone session is carried over the broadband network, and the audio copy is available without the need for the conference call. It is similarly possible that the telephony switch may be directly instructed to record the session, especially if it is closely cooperating with the TTG. It will also be clear that other recording devices are feasible, such as an audio server, or any other device adapted top record voice or digital representation of voice, and store it for later selective retrieval. Thus again, this aspect of the invention should be considered primarily in terms of its function within the context and convenience of operating closely with a television and it is understood by those skilled in the art that different constructs and architecture dictate or offer selection of the components, and different distribution of the functionality within the constructs.
While the description relates several actions to the telephony switch, a person skilled in the art will understand that due to the extreme flexibility provided by the invention the actions may happen in other places within the telephony or 'telco' domain, and some may happen at the television distribution domain, or in combinations thereof. The actions themselves may happen by various pieces of equipment located physically in different places, or alternatively in one integrated system. One should also note that lately many television providers began to provide telephony services themselves. Clearly, it is much easier to implement the aspects of the invention if all the functionality of the telephony switch 25 and the messaging system 90 are under the control of a single organization. Thus the invention aims to cover different levels of integration between the 'telco' and television provider, including a third party intervening to facilitate such services.

I can't be even the tiniest bit rudeor mean to anyone, even if they deserve it. I feel absolutely terrible if I hurt someone's feelings... It's unfortunate being "too nice" leads to being stepped on, pushed around, and used. I'm not bold enough to stand up for myself or even simply tell someone 'no'. Being kind...

Police officers swear to arrest anyone who breaks the law, but I would find it difficult to throw somebody in jail over something like marijuana, or driving without insurance. Some police officers arrest people for the littlest things and I don't know how they can do it...

ibis Family launches iPhone Sleep Art
- Published by Vedat
The digital experience created by the ibis family in collaboration with BETC Digital, is unprecedented, free and available for all.
Every morning, it allows iPhone users to see how their night's sleep has been transformed into an original digital work of art. Once the Sleep Art app has been programed, the iPhone becomes a sensor that captures movements and sounds. This data is converted real-time into a virtual "work of art" as the user sleeps.
Happy sleep is the core promise of Accor's economy hotel brands. ibis, ibis Styles and ibis budget decided to go even further enhance and sublimate sleep by transforming it into a digital work of art.
The app is extremely simple to use. After downloading it for free, the user plugs in his/her iPhone to charge and sets the alarm clock. The iPhone is placed on the mattress and the app runs all through the night. The sleeper is woken by Sleep Art's gentle music and discovers the work of art produced by his/her night's sleep. Users can chart their picture's progress minute by minute on the screen.
Every night is different. These virtual works of art are stored in the gallery and users can therefore compare each night's sleep and share results by email or on Facebook, so that as many people as possible can also find out about this unique digital experience.
The app is compatible with new generation iPhones and the iOS 5 and 6 operating systems. It will be available for free download from the Apple Store.
Sleep Art was a unique digital experience that charted on canvas the wonderful comfort of a night's sleep in one of the ibis family hotels. In October 2012, the ibis family created this unique technological experience using a robot and 80 sensors that were connected to the Sweet Bed™ by ibis, ibis Styles and ibis budget.The robot reproduced the customer's night's sleep in real-time. This unprecedented digital operation ran for a three-month period in the four major European capitals of Paris, Berlin, London and Warsaw. During the operation, the winners of a competition organized by the brand on Facebook were able to spend an exceptional night and take their own canvas home.

Rancho Damacitas Children & Family Services (founded in 1983) was started for four young girls removed from their homes due to severe abuse and neglect. As the needs of the children grew, so did the organization. Today, nestled in Temecula's beautiful wine country, Rancho Damacitas consists of six family-style cottages housing up to 36 children ages 6—18 years old, and a transitional housing program serving former foster youth. Our success lies within our unique home parent model coupled with our therapeutic-based care and nine comprehensive programs that work to help foster children heal, rebuild, and empowers them to soar!
Rancho Damacitas' programs target the unique needs of current and former foster youth helping them develop life skills such as money management and conflict resolution, build employment readiness skills, heal through art and music therapy, receive educational support, and mentoring. Rancho Damacitas also provides every child a variety of life-enriching opportunities such as field trips and special activities on campus that are important for building their confidence and sense of normalcy.
The quality of life children experience while on Rancho's campus, and the life-long memories made, are possible thanks to a supportive and generous community. Together, we have served over 4,000 youth from Southern California since we were founded over 30 years ago.

Algernon Charles Swinburne Quotes About FlowersQuotes about: Flowers
Art Desire Dreams Earth Eyes Fear Flowers Giving Heart Heaven Kissing Life Love Loyalty Lust Lying Pain Pleasure Rain Sin Sleep Sorrow Soul Spring Time Winter
For winter's rains and ruins are over, And all the season of snows and sins; The days dividing lover and lover, The light that loses, the night that wins; And time remembered isgrief forgotten, And frosts are slain and flowers begotten, And in green underwood and cover Blossom by blossom the spring begins.
Before the beginning of years There came to the making of man Time with a gift of tears, Grief with a glass that ran, Pleasure with pain for leaven, Summer with flowers that fell, Remembrance fallen from heaven, And Madness risen from hell, Strength without hands to smite, Love that endures for a breath; Night, the shadow of light, And Life, the shadow of death.

Laughed during the whole thing, especially when the search bar thing didn't work. That and the crappy Sonic tennis game. Excellent jokes man!
"Skyrim Fairly OddParents Intro"... I see what you did there.
Lisa Killed Off Simpsons
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I've always enjoyed your stuff, Speedo, and this one is no exception.
The writing was very clever in my opinion, though not my particular taste in comedy (I did laugh at the Milhouse nipples though), I can tell that effort was put into making it funny. The drawings were well done as well, really added to how the characters come off in their personalities. As far as improvement goes, my only real qualms were the backgrounds and the weird clipping on the characters. The backgrounds could use a bit more definition and interact with the characters better (example being Maggie not really looking like she was on the bed). Then there's the character clipping (Oh hey look, there's only half of homer on screen), though I can only assume that it's because this wasn't originally meant to be uploaded to newgrounds, either way it was a bit distracting for me. With those 2 things addressed I'd have no problem giving it the full 5 stars. Excellent work just needs some small tweeks here and there.
P.S. While looking through the other feeds backs it I said to myself "Oh my god, the newgrounds community is terrible at giving feedback."
Yeah I left the stage size at incorrect measurements so a whole heap of shit that shouldn't have been in frame was left in frame. Changed it now though.
The Leperchaun
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I keep coming back to watch this, and just keep loving it more and more each time! The only real thing that caught my eye was to maybe add a bit more detail to the backgrounds, but that's really nit picky since the character animation was so well done. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go get the song on itunes.

Unanswered: Sql Server and Windows Server 2003
I was doing same google and then i find this forum and start reading same posts, and i know that is not very decent start the first post asking for help, but here it goes:
The Problem that i have is that i can't install SQL 2000 Server Enterprise Edition SP3 on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition/3790.
I know what is causing the problem but i don't know how to solve it, the problem is that the OS is blocking the SQL ports, why ?, see this extraction from the Event Viewer:
----------------------------Event ID 1-----
You are running a version of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (also called MSDE) that has known security vulnerabilities when used in conjunction with the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family. To reduce your computer's vulnerability to certain virus attacks, the TCP/IP and UDP network ports of Microsoft SQL Server 2000, MSDE, or both have been disabled. To enable these ports, you must install a patch, or the most recent service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or MSDE from http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/default.asp
-----------------------------Event ID19011----
SuperSocket info: (SpnRegister) : Error 1355.
Then when i try to install the SP3, it want work because the setup can't connect to SQL Server, because the comunications ports are disable by the OS.
----------------Extracted from the sqlsp.log-----------
09:46:23 Process Exit Code: (1)
09:47:08 Begin SDPassword Dialog
09:47:09 End SDPassword Dialog
09:47:09 E:\x86\BINN\osql.exe -Slpc:ALEXNET -n -d master -Q "exit" -o "C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\sqlsp.out" -E
09:48:23 Process Exit Code: (1)
09:48:43 C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\SqlSetup\Bin\sc m.exe -Silent 1 -Action 6 -Service MSSQLSERVER
09:49:13 Process Exit Code: (0)
09:49:17 Setup was unable to verify the state of the server for an upgrade. Verify the server is able to start and that you provided a valid sa password and restart setup.
09:49:19 End Action DialogShowSdUpgrade
09:49:19 End: ShowDialogs()
09:49:19 Action CleanUpInstall:
09:49:19 Installation Failed.
So my question is how do i enable this ports at the OS, or change the rule that prevent the SQL Server from running???
Thanks for Helping me.,

Could you set up a Multiprotocol or Named Pipes connection and then do the install/upgrade?Paul Young

This is proably nothing to do with it but have you tried disconnecting from the web\network b4 installation as it may be something to do with the slammer virus that sp3 deals with, I am just mentioning it as I had no such problem installing sql sp3 on enterpirise sql for win2003 enterprise edition.

Thanks for the Help.
Was for the connection, it's doesnt work I tried to change the ports and using multiprotocol's nothing work, every time I got the same error the setup can't connect to SQL Server.
I'm using Mixed Mode to connect to the server, and I have a big password, but neither of the authenticate methods work, but for example if I put a website on port 1433 the port work, but every time I change the ports on SQL the OS knows it and block it, I install it on all this beta versions (RC1,RC2,3769) the same way and it work's ok, now that I have the RTM it's doesnt work anymore...
I'm pretty sure that I can fix this just deleting or changing a key on the registry the problem is to know what key is, I never tried to install it off-line because I think it won't work, like that the setup will fail because it don't start the service....

Refer to this MSDN Link about Registry entries for netlibs after SQL installation.
