Windows DreamScene is a utility that allows videos and .gif and other optimized animations to be used as desktop wallpapers. It is one of the Windows Ultimate Extras. Prior to its official announcement, DreamScene was rumored to be in creation under the names Motion Desktop and Borealis. After several months of testing, the final version was released on September 25, 2007.
Rendered content included with DreamScene (such as an animated realization of the Windows Aurora background) was produced by Stardock, while photographic content was provided by the Discovery Channel. Third-party video content in MPEG or WMV format may also be used. In addition, AVI files can be played by altering the file extension.
One of the purported advantages of DreamScene over previous methods of desktop animation is that it makes use of the GPU for display instead of the CPU, leaving the latter free to perform user tasks. To what extent this is achieved is not specified. When a full-screen program is run, such as a game or any window that is maximized, the video will automatically stop since the video will not be seen; this means it uses less GPU and CPU. The video can also be stopped manually. Content encoders need to strive for a balance between compression and file size; decompression requires the CPU, but larger files take up more memory and may cause the disk to be accessed more frequently.
Dream is a musical revue based on the songs of Johnny Mercer. The book is by Jack Wrangler and co-producer Louise Westergaard. The show ran on Broadway in 1997.

A prison is a place of detention.
Prison may also refer to:
Prison 209 (in Persian: بازداشتگاه ۲۰۹), also known as section 209 of the Evin prison, is an unofficial and secret detention centre in Tehran, Iran that operates under the administration of the VEVAK (Islamic Republic of Iran's Secret Service).
Like other covert detention centres such as Prison 59 and Evin Prison, prisoners are interrogated, in many cases tortured, held without charges, and subjected to solitary confinement.
Prisoners in 209
You're paintings scratch lines
of blue and gold and open me up
was folding into myself
a deck of cards
face down empty on the shelf
your song with emphasis on one and two
then i couldn't keep time
you took me into a dream
an exploding soundtrack
the treasure's mine
but that treasure's mine
i was bent over my chest
an invisible line sinking
but then the light of the lamp
that i held in my blistered hands
you the fuel
and me the fool for not noticing
this chinese junk we're all
strapping strong and casting lines
let's fold here together
clearly better slip out to the rocks
