County of San Luis Obispo Dalidio Ranch Initiative, Measure J (November 2006)
Measure J amended the land use plan of San Luis Obispo County in support of the Dalidio Ranch project, the objective of which is to develop the San Luis Obispo Marketplace on a 131-acre site along Highway 101.[1]
The Dalidio Ranch project, if it moves forward, involves developing 530,000 square feet of retail space, a hotel, a business park, soccer fields and housing.
In October 2009, the California Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Measure J opponents on a lawsuit that opponents filed immediately after voters approved the measure. As a result, the Dalidio Ranch development is set to move forward, three years after voters approved it.[2]
Measure J overturned
Immediately after the Dalidio Project won approval from the county's voters, two environmental groups -- Citizens for Planning Responsibly and Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo County —- filed a lawsuit to stop it. Their legal claim was that the subject matter discussed in Measure J is not allowed as a proper subject for the initiative process.
In February 2008, Judge Roger Picquet ruled in their favor, saying, "Measure J is not a proper subject for an initiative...The ability of the people of San Luis Obispo County to use the initiative to enact legislation is an extremely important constitutional right. Nonetheless it is not unlimited."[3]
Backers of Measure J appealed Picquet's decision to California's Second Court of Appeals.
Measure J re-instated
In August 2009, the appellate court re-instated Measure J, overturning the decision of the lower court. The higher court said, "… our review of this appeal is also strictly circumscribed by the long-established rule of according extraordinarily broad deference to the electorate's power to enact laws by initiative. The state constitutional right of initiative or referendum is 'one of the most precious rights of democratic process.' These powers are reserved to the people, not granted to them. Thus, it is our duty to 'jealously guard' these powers."[3]
The appeals court also ruled that Citizens for Planning Responsibility and the Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo must pay the legal costs that have been incurred by those who have been defending Measure J in the courts against their lawsuit.[3]
Appeal denied
Citizens for Planning Responsibly (CPR) appealed the Second Court of Appeals' decision to re-instate Measure J to the California Supreme Court, which denied their petition. According to attorney James McKiernan, Measure J now has "a permanent green light."[4]
Russ Brown of CPR expressed surprise and disappointment with the court's decision. He predicted that Measure J "will have ripple effects for municipalities, counties and governing agencies throughout the state".[2]
In his remarks, Brown alluded to recent remarks by California Chief Justice Ronald George condemning the initiative process.
Campaign finance violations
In October 2010, the California Fair Political Practices Commission said in a report that includes 1,414 pages of documents that 16 campaign finance violations had been committed by the opponents of Measure J, and levied an $80,000 fine against Tom and Jim Copeland, and banker David Booker for the violations.[5]
Tom and Jim Copeland have commercial interests in San Luis Obispo that "directly compete with" the Dalidio Ranch development. The FPPC in their ruling on the matter determined that the Measure J campaign was "sponsored" by Responsible County Development, an LLC controlled by the Copelands. Other developers in the area also participated in the campaign against Measure J, according to California Coast News:
- Developers and commercial property owners, many with financial motives to stop Dalidio, provided the bulk — more than 80 percent — of the funding for the committees opposing Dalidio. And while some developers donated funds using their name and legal addresses, others, such as the Copeland brothers and former North County developer Kelly Gearhart, who contributed $20,000, hid their identities behind company names and post offices boxes.
- The Political Reform Act requires that contributors provide a street address and their full legal name.
- Local clerk recorder employees are responsible for inspecting campaign filings to make sure laws are being followed. These employees said they repeatedly told Dalidio's opponents that they were breaking campaign laws and that they needed to correct the filings and provide addresses and not post offices boxes."[5]
Jan Marx, mayor of San Luis Obispo, was closely involved with the campaign against Measure J, according to the FPPC's documentation. According to a recounting of the FPPC investigation in California Coast News:
- "A trail of receipts, credit card statements and reimbursement checks shows that Marx handled everyday campaign duties from the start of the fight in 2004 through the second election in November, 2006.
- She also printed campaign flyers, purchased campaign supplies and handled some advertising with local media. As late as August, 2006, just months before the election, the campaign phone service was paid with Marx's credit card and not yet listed in the campaign's name, according to FPPC documentation."[5]
Development timeline
- 1994: The City of San Luis Obispo General Plan was updated to allow for retail development on the Dalidio parcel, even though the parcel is not in San Luis Obispo. This action was taken because the city had hopes of eventually annexing the parcel because it would then financially benefit from sales taxes generated by any retail development on the land.
- 2003-2004: The City of San Luis Obispo deliberated and agreed on a plan to both annex the land and approve the development proposed by the owner of the parcel.
- 2005: Voters in the City of San Luis Obispo collected signatures on the veto referendum to overturn the decisions that the city made regarding annexation and development. When the vote was held, voters narrowly denied the marketplace development plans.
- 2006: Ernie Dalidio collected signatures on Measure J, a county-wide initiative to approve the Dalidio development. Measure J wins. Opponents immediately sue to have Measure J overturned.
- 2007: Ernie Dalidio filed a complaint with the California Fair Political Practices Commission, alleging that the group "Responsible County Development LLC", which provided 81% of the funding for the campaign against Measure J. The substance of his complaint is that the corporation violated the law by hiding the names of its members and failing to disclose the purpose of the $220,944 loan it gave to the "No on J" campaign. According to Dalidio's complaint, the only purpose of the corporation was to give money to the "No on J" campaign while hiding the identity of donors. Dalidio wrote, "Someone was using the LLC to funnel funds to the No on J Committee without disclosing the true source of the funds."[6]
- February 2008: A Superior Court judge rules in favor of Measure J opponents, nullifying Measure J. Dalidio files an appeal.
- August 2009: A California appellate court overturns the superior court decision and re-instates Measure J.
- October 2009: The California Supreme Court declines to review the lower appellate court decision. This gives Measure J a permanent victory, enabling the Dalidio Ranch development to move forward as per voter's 2006 approval of the development.

FrancineHairCurly HairWorks Great!I have curly hair so a regular blow dryer wont work. I just lightly towel dry my hair after my shower and put a little leave-in conditioner in it, then sit down under my Hot Tools dryer for ten minutes while I lotion up my feet and read a morning devotional. Its really a nice way to start the day! Ten minutes gets my hair almost dry, dry enough that it is totally dry by the time I leave the house about 45 minutes later. Im really very happy with this product, and it was a great price.posted Jan 23, 2008Link to this post
D.c.TorontoHot Air Blast From The PastI didnt purchase this from Folica (Im in Canada and the shipping charges would have been excessive) but I did use Folica.com to research bonnet hairdryers, and the glowing reviews here all pointed me in this products direction. Basically I wanted the closest thing I could get to the classic hard-bonnet dryers of the 60s, and this item seemed to fit the bill. (I would *love* an actual vintage dryer, but Ive never found one in a thrift shop and again, shipping charges would negate whatever bargain I might find on eBay.) It works just like the old Lady Sunbeam my mother had, and dries my roller sets in about 45 minutes or so--though I dont set my hair sopping wet, just lightly dampened with setting lotion, and the medium setting is about as hot as I can stand. It must be pretty well built--one of the handles on the box broke while I was carrying it home, causing me to drop it on a subway platform, but I dont see any signs of damage and its been working just fine. I only wish they used a nicer grade of plastic with a shiny finish, just so itd feel even more like a classic dryer of yesteryear--but the appearance does not detract from its performance.posted Jan 17, 2008Link to this post

DawnWashington, DCExactly What I Was Looking For.I am completely satisfied with this dryer. It is exactly what I was looking for. I was slightly concerned by the comments that said the hood was too small to accommodate rollers (the only reason I was buying it and my rollers are large) but there was no problem for me. I can see that there is an issue with completely dring the rollers at the nape of my neck but I just move my head around (tilt it forward, to the left, to the right) and it is fine. If I knew how to divide up my hair onto the rollers I wouldnt ever need to go to the salon again. Great price, great product.posted Nov 11, 2007Link to this post

YESSSSSSSSSSS . This is what some genious in Hollywood should of done. A Direct Sequel to Aliens. Least I'm going to get it so what if it's in video game form. I'll be able to play and enjoy.
Game over man ..Game over !
Here is the story trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines. I personally played the game the game at Comic Con last July. It reminded me of Call of Duty and Left 4 Dead. Check out these visuals in the trailer. The game play is just as intense. And yes, you can play as the Aliens.
Official Synopsis: Aliens: Colonial Marines begins with an ostensibly abandoned ship, the U.S.S. Sulaco, recovered in orbit around LV-426. Players lead a group of highly trained United States Colonial Marines as they board the deserted craft to uncover the fate of the crew. They will have to fight to survive unspeakable horrors and their own anxieties as they chase down the truth behind a galaxy-spanning deception that places humanity at the mercy of the most murderous and deadly species in the universe. Aliens: Colonial Marines features authentic environments, such as the surface of LV-426 and Hadley's Hope, weapons inspired by the film series and is designed to provide an exhilarating and engaging new chapter in the Aliens universe.
The official 411 on Aliens: Colonial Marines:
Developer: Gearbox
Release: 2/12/2013
Genre: FPS
Platform: PS3/X360/PC
Publisher: Sega
Website: http://www.sega.com/alienscolonialmarines/
YESSSSSSSSSSS . This is what some genious in Hollywood should of done. A Direct Sequel to Aliens. Least I'm going to get it so what if it's in video game form. I'll be able to play and enjoy.
Game over man ..Game over !
Didn't the colony on LV-426 get nuked when the reactor went boom at the end of Aliens? Oh well, still sounds cool.
@rogue188 - Yes it did. It is gone bye bye. But like you said, who cares? This game is going to hopefully kick huge ass.
As for the movies I always wished that they followed the comics that were made post Aliens. They had Newt, Ripley, and Hicks in them. Hicks had his face all burned like at the end of the Aliens movie. They even re-built Bishop. It was bad ass. =( Too bad. It was way better than Alien 3 and let's not even try to remember the steaming pile of crap that was Aliens 4.
I hope this game has good multi-player. I lvoed me some multi-player on Aliens VS Predator. Playing as a Marine was ROUGH. But fun.
Just because it got nuked doesn't mean they can investigate still. Wreckage - things of that nature. It will be years after those events too. The threat is still running wild on that planet.
Im glad there's no freakin predators in this game. It's purely Aliens and nothing else to mess with that epic face off . I only wish Hudson where still alive for this one.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but they blew up the atmosphere processor, correct? If I remember correctly, Hadley's Hope was quite a distance away from the site of the atmosphere processor. Enough of a distance to make it so even if there was a nuclear explosion, the colony itself could potentially survive. And from what I can tell from the trailer, there look to be xenos that are somehow "different", maybe mutated due to nuclear fallout? Of course, we do see the marines running around outside, so there is still the small mystery of how is the planet's air breatheable if there's no oxygen being produced by atmosphere processors. I have faith it'll all be explained nicely, especially since this game's been in production for half a decade.

Getting the RR LeopardBoard DM365 EVAL SDK 2011Q2
If you want to get the LeopardBoard DM365 EVAL SDK 2011Q2 you need to go to our download center page and select the LeopardBoard DM365 Evaluation SDK. You will be asked for your email address and some information. Once you have submitted the required information you will receive an email with the following information:
- A link to download the LeopardBoard DM365 SDK 2011Q2 Installer file for GNU/Linux based operative systems.
- A username and password to download the installer.
- A link to the installation instructions.
CodeSourcery Toolchain Installation
New DM365 SDK 2011Q2 uses the Codesourcery toolchain for cross compilation. You need to download and install the toolchain before you can build the SDK.
In order to download and install the CodeSourcery's toolchain for the DM365 SDK 2011Q2 please see Code Sourcery ARM toolchain 2009q1-203.
DVSDK 4 Installation
In addition to the toolchain, it is necessary to install the TI's Digital Video Software Development Kit (DVSDK) package before installing the SDK. The DM365 SDK 2011Q2 uses the new DVSDK 4. The download and installation instructions are detailed below:
1. The dvsdk_dm365-evm_4_02_00_06_setuplinux binary file can be downloaded from TI's site.
2. Install it by executing the binary file with the following commands:
sudo chmod a+wrx dvsdk_dm365-evm_4_02_00_06_setuplinux ./dvsdk_dm365-evm_4_02_00_06_setuplinux
3. You will be asked for the Toolchain's path, you need to specify the path to the binaries' directory of the toolchain as is shown in the following image:
4. Install the DVSDK with the default configuration.
Install other required packages
Usually the SDK will ask you to install any missing package it requires that is not installed on your host machine. You can install them using the following command:
sudo apt-get install package_name
The following is the list of the required packages by the SDK:
- autoconf2.59
- libgtk2.0-dev
- bison
- flex
- mono-devel
- libexpect-perl
- libusb-dev
- curl
- minicom
- libtool
- libncurses5-dev
It is possible you need to install some additional packages when some features require them, the SDK will ask you for this packages in the form of a error message as is shown below:
Checking for host packages required by the SDK build system: buildsystem (build-essential) is installed make (make) is installed ncurses (libncurses5-dev) is installed texinfo (texinfo) is installed >> minicom (minicom) is NOT installed perl (perl) is installed quilt (quilt) is installed dc (dc) is installed subversion (subversion) is installed curl (curl) is installed git (git-core) is installed autoconf (autoconf) is installed crypt-ssleay (libcrypt-ssleay-perl) is installed quilt (quilt) is installed libusb (libusb-dev) is installed perl-expect (libexpect-perl) is installed mono (mono-devel) is installed There are missing packages, please install them: apt-get install minicom make: *** [.oscheck] Error 1
Installing the SDK
Once you have downloaded the SDK installer you can execute it by running the following commands:
sudo chmod a+x LeopardBoardDM365sdk-EVAL2011Q2-Linux-x86-Install.bin ./LeopardBoardDM365sdk-EVAL2011Q2-Linux-x86-Install.bin
Once you have executed it you can follow the next steps for its installation.
1. Click Yes in the start up window.
2. Click Next in the main window.
3. Accept the license terms in order to use the EVAL SDK and click Next to continue.
4. Choose the destination directory to where the EVAL SDK will be installed. Note: The installation directory must be a folder that doesn't exist since the installer will create it in the process.
5. Once you have selected the installation directory a confirmation window will be displayed. Click Next to start the installation or Back to change any data. Note: Be sure to have an Internet connection before click Next since the installer needs to download some packages
6. Wait while the EVAL SDK is installed in your computer.
7. Once the EVAL SDK has been successfully installed the next window will be displayed. Click Finish to close the installer and start using the EVAL SDK.
I put all my development directories in the work directory in my home folder. You can have more than one development directory installed, just remember to have the DEVDIR shell variable set properly.
Build SDK
Several packages are needed in order to compile the SDK. The SDK build process will let you know what packages are needed. While compiling you will be prompted to install them using sudo apt-get <packages>.
You can get a description of all the available commands for the SDK by running the following command into your SDK's installation directory:
make help
It will show a list as the shown bellow:
RidgeRun Integrated Linux Software Developer's Kit Make targets: build - build kernel, target fs, bootloader kernel - build kernel fs - build target filesystem cmdline - build cmdline for target kernel (fs target does the same as well) bootloader - build bootloader config - allow SDK to be configured config_batch - attempt to configure without user interaction clean - delete all derived files update - Checks for repository updates for the SDK show_updates - Checks for available updates for the SDK's release; use revision=<number> to specify a particular revision or range (same syntax as svn log) or showdirs=1 to enable showing change details in the log displayed. env - Displays commands to run to setup shell environment coreconfig - Select toolchain, bootloader, and kernel (updates bsp/mach/Make.conf) doc - Generate the SDK API documentation into the documentation folder prelink - prelink the root filesystem install - Install all out of date images to target installbootloader - Install bootloader to target installmtd - Install uBoot MTD partition table installkernel - Install kernel to target installfs - Install file system to target installcmdline - Install uBoot kernel command line installbootcmd - Install uBoot boot command svnup - recursively run the 'svn up' command. Make parameters: VERBOSE - set to 1 to output executing commands LOGFILE - set to built output filename Make update parameters: FORCE_UP - set to force the application/removal of patches DEBUG_UP - set to output the executing commands U-boot Installer Parameters ($DEVDIR/installer/u-boot-installer) PORT - Host serial port to use for install HOST_IP - Host IP address to use for TFTP install FORMAT - Set to 1 to force SD card to be formatted FORCEINSTALL - Set to yes to force performing the requested install target ERASECHIP - Set to yes if you want to scrub the FLASH chip during bootloader installation Examples: make # same as 'make build' make VERBOSE=1 make installbootloader PORT=/dev/ttyUSB1
Configure the features you want to have in your board using:
make config
Set the PATH to include the toolchain and aslo set the DEVDIR shell variable
$(make env) # this is the same as using grave accents to execute the output from the command - `make env`
Compile the SDK:
Install bootloader, kernel, and target file system on LeopardBoard 365
Verify bootloader is active
First a minicom (or any other terminal emulator used) session must be opened in order to stop the booting process at the bootloader prompt:
Reboot the board and stop the autoboot when
Hit any key to stop autoboot: ...
is displayed. Then close your minicom session.
Save bootloader to target hardware
The next step is to install the bootloader on the target. Typically you only install the SDK bootloader once.
make installbootloader
Update target hardware with new images
Power cycle your target hardware, and install uboot environment / kernel / FS on the target (per your SDK configuration choices):
make install
Similar to the bootloader installation, to install the devdir on the target the booting process should be stopped at the bootloader prompt.
Updating your SDK
Since the SDK is in a SVN respository RidgeRun can periodically make updates to the contents. To have an up-to-date SDK the following command must be executed on the SDK root directory
make update
If, for any reason, modifications to any files that are included in a patch were made, the make update process won't be able to finish successfully. In order to override this the following command must be executed
make update FORCE_UP=1
Note that all changes previously made to these files will be lost.
Also, a debug functionality is implemented where all the executed commands will be displayed on the standard error (usually the same as standard output). To activate it use
make update DEBUG_UP=1
Of course, a combination of both options can be used
make update FORCE_UP=1 DEBUG_UP=1
A brief help menu explaining these features can be displayed using
make help
A list of all current updates available is shown when running the following command
make show_updates
SDK Hints
Common problems and their solution FAQ
A FAQ listing error messages / solutions is available at RidgeRun SDK Technical FAQ.
SD boot recover
If you brick your board, this can be recovered from the installer SD card available at http://www.ridgerun.com/downloadcenter.shtml look for the SD image with the name: "Leo365Eval2011Q2_JFFS2.zip". The SD image will install bootloader, kernel and file system into the LeopardBoard.
In order to make a bootable SD card with RR SDK, you need to have a successfully compiled SDK. Then proceed to create the SD image:
SD card preparation
1. Insert the SD card to the host port
2. Find out the device mounting point (e.g. /dev/sdd) where sdX is your device mounting point.
3. On your SDK make config menu, search for Installer Configuration and set:
Firmware deployment mode (Deploy all the firmware to an SD card) (128) Size of loopback device for SD card (in MB) #Size can be bigger [*] Flash SD card image into loopback file instead of real SD #To create an image file
4. Install the SD using make install:
make install
A warning will be displayed
Type yes in order to format the sdcard.img file and create a new one. the file will be created at $DEVDIR/images
Use any linux application like "dd" in order to save the sdcard.img file at a SD card.
Add the file system to the bootable SD card
1. At make config menu, Select at file system configuration: File system image target (Secure Digital Card)
Follow the steps indicated at: SD card preparation
Install Boot recovery files on SD card
1. Remove SD card from host and reinsert the SD card into host. This will cause your host to mount the VFAT file system on the SD card.
2. Type
make install sd_boot_recover
Boot from SD to recover NAND image
1. Set switch 2 of DIPSW1 to ON, 1 and 3 to OFF. This is SD card boot mode.
2. Power up the board, it will automatically erase the NAND flash, and burn UBL, u-boot, kernel and file system. The SD card recovery LeopardBoard 365 serial output will provide progress information.
Verify NAND recovery
1. Set all pos of DIPSW1 to OFF for NAND boot mode.
2. Connect serial cable to PC and power cycle the board (it should boot up). Insert the SD card to the board.
Your LeopardBoard 365 now contains the UBL, uboot, kernel, and file system that was originally shipped on LeopardBoard 365 boards.
Having this done the bootloader and devdir must be installed (check Installation for instructions).
Setting up video components
The output and mode used for video playback/capture can be set during the SDK configuration process. The first step is to enter the configuration script:
make config
Inside Architecture configurations select the options you desire on Video Output and Video Default Resolution.
Finally compile your changes and install
make make install
When you use the SDK to set your video output and resolution, the SDK build process creates $DEVDIR/images/cmdline with different kernel command line parameter settings. The table below shows the various video output settings for three of the common settings
Video Output | DVI | Component | Composite | sysfs file |
Resolution | 720P-60 | 720P-60 | NTSC | |
davinci_enc_mngr.ch0_output | DVI | COMPOSITE | COMPONENT | /sys/class/davinci_display/ch0/output |
davinci_enc_mngr.ch0_mode | 720P-60 | 720P-60 | NTSC | /sys/class/davinci_display/ch0/mode |

Activation of video capture modules
While configuring the SDK go to Kernel configuration->Device drivers->Multimedia support->Video capture adapters and activate the devices you desire. For more details see Hardware setup - LeopardBoard DM365.
LeopardBoard 365 GStreamer Pipelines - SDK 2011Q2 contains instructions showing examples to demonstrate the hardware is working.
Before running a capture pipeline you must be sure you have chained the video previewer, that could be done in two ways:
- Currently the v4l2src element has a build in property called chain-ipipe which by default is set to true.
- If you are not using v4l2src or you have disabled its chain-ipipe property you can chain it by using the ipiped application.
Video initialization
When you boot your board the RidgeRun logo will be displayed, in order to display video the following commands must be executed:
fbset -disable
Output volume modification
To increase/decrease the volume for audio playback (or other audio options) type
and modify as desired.
Using ipiped and AEW library
Ipiped is a D-Bus server for controlling and configuring the camera sensor, the dm365 video processor and the aew library. It usually works together with the auto white balance and auto exposure (aew) library in order to give a better control of the quality of the image captured.
You can find a Demo version of the AEW library in our EVAL SDK for DM365 2011Q2. This version is fully functional but has some demo features:
- The library will darken you current image periodically.
- After a while the AEW algorithm will stop working and you will get the capture with the last values configured by it, so you will need to restart your AEW algorithm in order to test it again.
You can find more about Ipiped and the AEW library at Auto exposure and auto white balance library
AEW Commands
In order to use Ridgerun's AEW demo a series of commands needs to be entered at the Leopard's console:
640x480 Video Playback
First you need to remove RidgeRun logo image from the screen
fbset -disable
The screen will be plain white after the "fbset -disable" command
In order to use the Ridgerun's AEW Demo, first a config script for the 5Mp video sensor mt9p031 needs to be run:
ipipe-client run-config-script dm365_mt9p031_config
This will chain ipiped, set the bayer-pattern and others.
Next, configure auto exposure:
ipipe-client init-aew G EC S C 150000 15 50 640 480 50
This will configure the auto exposure as:
White balance: Gray world algorithm Auto exposure: Electronic centric Gain type: the sensor gain Exposure metering method: center weighted metering Time between algorithm adjustments: 200000 uS Minimum frame rate: 15 Frame segmentation factor: 50 Width: 640 Height: 480 Center percentage: 50%
For more information about RidgeRun's AEW options:
ipipe-client help init-aew
Other options are available, for example white balance can use retinex algorithm, Exposure can use: partial metering, average metering or segmented metering.
Recommended pipeline for video playback:
gst-launch -e v4l2src chain-ipipe=false always-copy=false ! dmaiaccel ! video/x-raw-yuv,format=\(fourcc\)NV12, width=640, height=480, framerate=\(fraction\)30/1 ! dmaiperf \ ! TIDmaiVideoSink sync=false accelFrameCopy=false videoOutput=composite videoStd=D1_NTSC&
640x480 Video Recording
Same as 640x480 video playback, but use the following pipeline:
gst-launch -e -v v4l2src always-copy=FALSE chain-ipipe=false num-buffers=300 ! \ 'video/x-raw-yuv,format=(fourcc)NV12,width=640,height=480' ! dmaiaccel ! dmaienc_mpeg2 ! \ dmaiperf ! mpegpsmux ! filesink location= test8003.mpeg
A file named: test8003.mpeg will be created, no video will be displayed in the composite output.
1280x720 Video Recording
Similar to 640x480 video playback, but instead of using:
ipipe-client init-aew G EC S C 150000 15 50 640 480 50
ipipe-client init-aew G EC S C 150000 15 50 1280 720 50
Use the following pipeline:
gst-launch -e -v v4l2src always-copy=FALSE chain-ipipe=false num-buffers=300 \ ! 'video/x-raw-yuv,format=(fourcc)NV12,width=1280,height=720 \ ' ! dmaiaccel ! dmaienc_mpeg2 ! dmaiperf ! mpegpsmux ! filesink location= test8003.mpeg
A file named: test8003.mpeg will be created, no video will be displayed in the composite output.
Using GStreamer with the LeopardBoard DM365 EVAL SDK 2011Q2
You can combine the SDK and the LeopardBoard DM365 with the GStreamer's API in order to get powerful multimedia applications in an easy and faster way. Some examples of use of GStreamer to implement basic multimedia pipelines can be found at LeopardBoard 365 GStreamer Pipelines - SDK 2011Q2.

Elevator Logic Applied To Web and Mobile Design
What holds attention determines action.
- William James
Have you ever been standing in an elevator waiting for the doors to close when someone down the hall calls out "hold the elevator?" What did you do? If you're like most of us, you stuck your hand between the doors, risking life (well, maybe just limb) to keep the doors open. Why do we do this? We know there's a Door Open button but we rarely use it. Why not?
The Door Open button doesn't capture our attention; if we tried to find it to help the guy running down the hall, we'd be three floors down by the time we located it. Typically, the Door Open button is the same color, size, and shape as every other button, and its icon is similar to the Door Close button.
The one button that needs to be found quickly doesn't pop out from the rest. Whoever designed the elevator buttons evidently wasn't thinking about with human attention and what makes one thing more salient than another.
As frustrating as looking for a Door Open button can be, but it's not like people have a choice to use different elevators in protest. Not so with websites. When potential customers come to a site and don't find the products they're looking for quickly and easily (it doesn't pop out), a competing website is just a click away. So how do we make products or other items pop out on a site? And how do we make sure the right things pop out?
Human attention has some very interesting characteristics including pop out (yes, it is a scientific term meaning that attention is involuntarily drawn to an object). If we design a site that resonates with characteristics of attention, the site seems "intuitive" and people "just know" where to go next and what button to click.
There are certain visual treatments that will make an object pop out from the rest of the page. Color, combined with a difference in brightness,[*] is one of the strongest differentiators of objects. Differences in brightness alone (pink vs. red), shape, and size are also strong and get even stronger if they are combined. For example, a big red square among small green circles will pop out immediately. The small green circles, being homogeneous, are ignored and attention is involuntarily drawn on the red square.
We can exploit this characteristic of human attention when we want users to notice an item on a page. Our best bet will be making it different in color, brightness, etc., from all other items. Since pop out strength varies, we can create a hierarchy of objects on the page, leading the user sequentially through the items with more to less salience. The most salient item should have a combination of differentiators, then next fewer differentiators and the final a single differentiator. Note also that the strength of the difference can also be manipulated—for example, the comparative sizes of two objects can be greater or smaller. Because we have exploited a natural characteristic of human attention, the path we provide through the page will seem intuitive to the user.
Among other problems, this site lacks a visual hierarchy and nothing pops out so the user doesn't know where to go first. The only real differences in the text are the color and underline. Rather than apprehending immediately what they can do and where they can go, users must read through all of the content to understand how the site works.
But we can easily overdo it. Another characteristic of attention is its limited capacity; we cannot attend to everything around us at the same time. If a page is filled with images, buttons, and text that are different colors, shapes, and sizes, attention is overwhelmed. It is drawn in multiple directions at once—our gaze is pulled here and there as our system tries to decide what to attend to first.
Capturing attention certainly can be overdone. Each element of this page has different characteristics (shape, color, motion) and they all compete with each other.
At the very limits of attention, we can only attend to a few items at one time, and doing so is extremely effortful. When attention is so stretched, we can easily miss the seemingly obvious, like a big red button or even an event. Repeated psychology experiments have shown that people attending intently to the main action in a basketball video will miss events like a gorilla walking across the floor! This phenomenon is called change blindness, and you can read more about it in Michael Grossman's article on UX Magazine.
We can also willfully limit our attention capacity by focusing voluntarily on a certain visual dimension of an object. When looking for a redheaded friend in a crowd, for example, we "set" our focus to red hair and reduce the attention we pay to non-redheads. We can exploit focused attention on a webpage by assigning the same salient characteristic (e.g., a bold red header) to each product. In so doing, the user can focus attention just on the areas with bold red and let the rest of the page recede into the background. However, if some product headers are red and some are blue, the strength of focused attention is lessened and the opportunity to draw attention to a group of products is lost.
The Verizon site uses a bright contrasting color for its call-to-action ("Order Now"), but the same visual treatment is used on the FiOS logos. The logos and the call-to-action group together due to their visual similarity, so the drama of the call-to-action is diluted. Although it is difficult to see in a static image, the text to the right of "What's Hot" accretes over time causing a sense of motion in the lower part of the page. Again, the user's attention is pulled away from the call-to-action.
Although the ING Direct site looks somewhat dated, it has a clear visual hierarchy (products receive more attention than Help, Sign In, etc.). The home page also calls out each of the main products ING Direct is selling with an orange sphere, thus focusing customer attention on products.
Any discussion of attention and web pages would be incomplete without some mention of motion. Motion is the most salient of attention grabbers and it is the most pervasive—everyone has experienced the annoyance of something flashing on a web page. Why is motion so salient? Probably because it suggested a potential predator to our ancestors and only those who heeded the warning got their genes into the next generation.
Motion should only be used in the center of the user's gaze, and then limited to video or informative animation. Motion should not be used simply to draw attention because attention cannot entirely be torn away; any video or animation should always have a mechanism for users start when their attention is focused on it and stop when they wish to focus elsewhere.
By exploiting the strengths of human attention and being mindful of its limited capacity, we can create websites that will get your products and services noticed, while also seeming intuitive to your users. When designing a site, keep in mind the following five tips for drawing attention—or, better yet, engage an agency whose UX analysts are knowledgeable about attention and other aspects of psychology and human behavior.
- Decide which is the most important item or object on the page—perhaps a login, product, or announcement. Give it a visual treatment such as a different color (remember brightness!), size, or shape to make it pop out. Users' attention will be drawn first to that item.
- Use pop out on only a few items per page; don't overwhelm the attention resources of your users.
- Use gradations of a visual treatment (size, color) to create a hierarchy of objects that will lead a user through the information on a page.
- Use motion sparingly and only where the user's attention is focused. Do not employ continuous motion in one part of the page when you would like users to focus on multiple areas of the page.
- Enable focused attention on a group of objects such as products by using the same salient visual treatment on all of them.
And finally, be careful when putting your hand in an elevator door, another one is bound to be along soon.
[*]Whenever color is used as a defining characteristic, we should be concerned about users with limited color vision. Note that what I suggested above was "color, combined with a difference in brightness". The human visual system has two different pathways: one that processes color and fine detail, and another that processes contrast (differences in brightness, e.g., black and white, grayscale) and motion. People with color deficits are unable to process colors, but see contrasting edges just fine. So if a color difference is complimented by a brightness difference, people with color deficits should be able to perceive an object without difficulty.

I couldn't agree more with Ryan#1, above. I never understood the point of the "door open" button these days. Back when limbs were actually risked to hold open a door, it makes a little sense. But having a door held open by actually holding it open is the most intuitive interaction.
The "door close" button, which doesn't do anything, should be removed entirely. And there should always be a tv/screen playing something so people don't have to always uncomfortably pretend to avoid eye contact with each other. :)
Nice article. I couldn't agree more. For whatever reason, I've been thinking a lot about elevators over the past year. Things like the 'Door Open' button drive me crazy, too. However, here's a bright spot...One thing I noticed on a recent visit to Chicago was the great button design inside the Downtown Hilton's elevators. Rather than make every button equal size, they set their lobby and garage buttons apart by making them jumbo. The buttons are used more than any others. So why should people have to scan through to find them? It should be obvious at a glance. Kudos to Hilton. A small, but really delightful thing.
@Ryan I'd hate to be the first poor soul to encounter a malfunctioning door button. While it can be argued that it is a NUI, there is certainly a better solution than sticking your arm between two closing doors. That's just silly.
Great article!!! I believe learned behavior beats any hierarchical design. Stretching the arm to keep the doors open doesn't require any focus attention. We have learned to keep doors open that way before we knew there is a button for it. It's like boxing... we don't have to think about it... is a reaction. kind of what we do when we want to go back on a page, the first reaction is to hit the back button. Now going back to the elevator example, it will take a few people to loose their arms before we change that learned behavior, then and only then we may get away by placing a big orange button at eye-level...
I know I had a point here somewhere... Man I am getting old... :-)
Great article!!!! :-)
Using contrast effectively is an important part of the visual design. Additionally, size, label, location, and social proof can be just as important. Also, see Meyer's law.
Um... I hardly think sticking your hand into an elevator door risks life and limb in most cases. The doors are designed to retract if there's something in the way.
In fact, I'd argue that this is a NUI (Natural User Interface) that makes the Open Door button almost unnecessary. It's way more natural to hold the door open by... holding the door open, than it is to hold the door open by finding some abstract button somewhere, no matter how prominent it is.
I.e. Why even have a separate button, if the door itself can be the button?
"The one button that needs to be found quickly doesn't pop out from the rest. "
Actually, there's really only one elevator button that does need to be found quickly—the Alarm/Emergency Stop button. And, by design, that one always stands out: it's either red, or more prominent or both.
Of course, that button has its own UX problems. Ask anyone who's ever taken a curious 3-year-old onto an elevator what they think about its position at the bottom of the elevator buttons.
The point of the article is sound, I believe, but the initial analogy is a stretch.

Customer Reviews for Green Bali 2" Slats
"Awesome blinds!"
By Vicci from Texas
I've purchased blinds 3 times now from Blinds Galore and have finally completed the whole house. These blinds are awesome. The cloth tape really adds to the room decor and covers up the vertical string holes. I've recommended these blinds to multiple friends.
View this product"Beautiful 2" Blinds"
By customer from CA
These blinds were very easy to install, the construction of them is excellent. I didn't order the metal blinds, maybe in the future. The 2" width on them are beautiful and so is the cocoa color. Be sure to order samples or borrow/rent the book from lowes.

text: There are no translations available. Homeopathic Materia Medica by FarringtonCAPSICUM ANNUUM(caps)Capsicum possesses few, if any, of the narcotic properties of the Solanaceae, but it has, highly marked, the irritating properties of the group. It takes but little of the drug to produce this irritation. Capsicum is eliminated from the body through the kidneys producing strangury with burning when passmg water. This drug acts best in persons of lax fibre, rather stout in build, who do not respond readily to medicine, because they are of lax fibre and also because of impaired digestion.The Capsicum patient has weak digestion or weak stomach, hence the whole man is weak. Such patients are irritable and get angry without any cause. This is true of either adults or children. They are worse from the least draft of air though this air be warm. They are clumsy in their motions. They are subject to chills and fever. The chill commences in the back. Although the patient is thirsty, yet drinking causes shivering. The Capsicum patient is subject to catarrhal asthma with red face and well-marked sibilant rales. He coughs, and a successful cough raises phlegm which relieves the asthma. Capsicum has a symptom of the chest not often met with in practice, and that is very offensive breath during the cough. It also has a well-marked action on the ear, especially on the middle ear. It is of use in rupture of the membrana tympani from disease when there is soreness or inflammation of the mastoid process of the temporal bone. For abscess of the mastoid process the preferable remedies are AURUM and NITRIC ACID. For chronic suppuration of the middle ear, you may think of SILICEA. Capsicum is of importance in diseases of the throat. It is indicated in diphtheria or in gangrene of the throat when there are burning blisters in the roof of the mouth and when there is an odor from the mouth like that of carrion. The throat feels constricted as if spasmodically closed. The patient is worse when not swallowing. In extreme cases the patient becomes greatly prostrated. The most similar remedy here is CANTHARIS. Capsicum is also indicated in elongation of the uvula. It may be used both externally and internally. In dysentery, it is indicated when the stools are frequent but small and attended with violent tenesmus and burning in both rectum and bladder. The stools are bloody and slimy and contain shaggy pieces. There is thirst and yet drinking causes shuddering.

Yankees summer camps to be held in the tri-state area in 2013
The New York Yankees today announced that New York Yankees Summer Camps will take place in the New York tri-state area beginning the week of June 24, marking the second consecutive year they are being offered. Sessions will run on a weekly basis in various locations throughout the tri-state area through August 23. In New York, camps will take place in White Plains, Somers, the Bronx, Rye, Tarrytown, West Nyack and Old Brookville. In New Jersey, camps will be held in Verona, Paramus, Parsippany, Holmdel, Oradell, Princeton, Summit and Far Hills. In Connecticut, there will be a camp in Darien.
Yankees Summer Camps are available to boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 13, and each camper will receive a full Yankees uniform. In addition to on-field skill development and professional instruction, campers also get the opportunity to take a guided tour of Yankee Stadium.
Campers enrolled in sessions taking place while the Yankees are on the road will be given a tour of the Yankees clubhouse. Campers taking part in sessions when the team is at home will meet a current member of the 2013 New York Yankees.
Each session consists of five days of camp and costs $549 per camper.
"We offer young ballplayers of all skill sets a first-class instructional experience based on leadership and character development," said Brendan Sullivan, Director of Yankees Summer Camps. "The combination of on-field skill work coupled with the exclusive access we offer to Yankee Stadium will make this a lasting memory for all the children who attend."
All sessions will feature an innovative curriculum and differentiated practice drills based on each player's grade and skill level. Additionally this year, Yankees Summer Camps will introduce video analysis for campers ages 9 and older to further enhance and personalize the instruction.
As part of the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council's "Refuel with Chocolate Milk" initiative, 85 children from families in the Bronx will receive full scholarships to attend Yankees Summer Camp at Heritage Field, which is located on the site of the original Yankee Stadium and administered by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.

Marlins, Cubs seek momentum as series opens
As the Marlins head back to Miami for a seven-game homestand that will take them into May, they are still searching for their footing. Under first-year manager Mike Redmond, the club is 5-16 following Tuesday's doubleheader split against the Twins and has yet to win twice in a row.
It wouldn't hurt the Cubs, coming off a series loss at the hands of the Reds, to find a little momentum, either. Chicago has lost eight of 10.
Each game brings a new opportunity. On Thursday night at Marlins Park, Miami will send Kevin Slowey to the mound against the Cubs' Edwin Jackson in the opener of a four-game set.
"It seems every day we're right on the edge of turning the corner," Miami infielder Greg Dobbs said. "As tough as it may seem, and as tough as it may look, you have to stay positive. If you let it, it will eat you alive. It will eat you from the inside-out. It's a long season. A lot can happen. We're not going to go 4-16 or 4-17 for the rest of the year. We've just got to buckle down. We've got to execute, and we've got to make things happen.
"Sometimes it's a game of failure, too. This game will humble you and teach you how to deal with those failures, and teach you how to bounce back from adversity."
Slowey has pitched well this season, with a 1.90 ERA and 15-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio in four starts, but he is 0-2. The veteran right-hander is still looking for his first big league win since Sept. 18, 2010.
Like the Marlins, the Cubs have gone through a rough April. They're now 6-14 after losing, 1-0, in the series finale against the Reds on Wednesday.
"It's nothing that anyone is panicking over," Jackson said after his last outing. "Clearly, we have to play better and execute better. It's not an issue that anyone is panicking over. I can't speak for everyone, but nobody is panicking. We just have to make the plays when we have a chance."
And like Slowey, Jackson is still working toward his first victory with a new club. The righty is 0-3 with a 4.84 ERA in four starts, although he has racked up 24 strikeouts in 22 1/3 innings.
Cubs: Russell still spotless
• Lefty reliever James Russell continued his superb season on Wednesday, pitching yet another scoreless frame in the losing effort. Russell's season ERA remains 0.00. He has three holds and has struck out 10 in 8 2/3 innings.
• Left fielder Alfonso Soriano notched his third three-hit game and fifth multi-hit effort since April 13 on Tuesday, when he went 3-for-4 against the Reds. In his past 10 games, Soriano is 15-for-39 (.384) with three doubles and a home run, bringing his season average from .179 to .282.
Marlins: Brantly's bat catches spark
• Catcher Rob Brantly went 3-for-5 with two doubles and four RBIs in Tuesday's nightcap, notching his second straight multi-hit game to snap a 2-for-27 skid. He has five hits in those contests after producing a total of eight in his first 14 games.
• Right-hander Ryan Webb tossed three scoreless innings of relief in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. It was the second three-inning stint of his career and first since last June 16 against Tampa Bay. Webb has held the opposition scoreless in four of his last five appearances.
Worth noting
• Jackson went 0-2 with a 3.86 ERA in two outings at Marlins Park last year. Current Marlins are batting .355 and slugging .597 against him in 71 plate appearances.
• Slowey's only other start against the Cubs came on June 12, 2009, in Chicago, as a member of the Twins. He gave up three runs and struck out 10 to pick up the win. Slowey is 5-1 with a 3.20 ERA in his career against National League Central teams and has won five straight decisions, with a 1.98 ERA.

Recent Princeton Reviews
Perfect setup for Family of 4 - Great Location in Princeton!
Nothing fancy. An older home, with the basic necessities and clean and in good working order. This house suited us well. The WiFi was useful for checking in at work and helped augment a poor cell signal. Our 2 young boys loved the really nice flat screen TV with cable! (this was a vacation treat as it is not an amenity we have at home). If the TV was not there, we may have enjoyed more time outside as the neighborhood is lovely. The property is walking distance to schools and wide open spaces and the people in the neighborhood were friendly. If you listen carefully, you can even hear some music coming from the Westminster Choir College adjacent the property. We could walk to the grocery store - McCaffreys (15 minutes) or a short few minute drive. The air conditioners (window units) came in handy and provided extra comfort. Speaking of comfort - the whole family commented on the nice sheets. The owner was so helpful providing information promptly & answering my questions leading to our visit. And we were pleasantly greeted us upon our arrival. We had a delayed flight, and the owner was understanding and accommodating. Next time we are in Princeton to visit family, we will look to stay here again.

16 Best PerfumesWhich perfume ranked number one? Was it a discount fragrance or a designer fragrance? |
Why it's great: The hype around this fragrance is no surprise, since reviewers rated it a perfect 10 across the board. A staple product most readers have used for years, readers say the scent is truly amazing. One reviewer said, "I absolutely LOVE this scent! I have used this perfume since its release and I simply cannot get enough of it. It has a sweet, deep vanilla floral fragrance and lasts all day long." The best attribute of this product, readers say, is that it warrants compliments at every turn. Another reviewer continued, "What an addicting powdery, vanilla-floral fragrance. Adore. Can't say much else, only that it lives up to the hype. Just try it for yourself and you'll understand. It's fabulous.

I like some of these, but many great scents are missing--Nina Ricci's "L'Air du Temps," "Chanel," Paul Sebastian's "Design," Chanel's "Cristalle," and Estee Lauder's "White Linen" and "Pleasures."

Where I don't like most of the ones mentioned, I love love love a few that are. And I like that they are on there and other women agree. They aren't soft and daytime like. The others are similar to me. But a good mix.

I don't know ladies. I adore J'Adore, but honestly, can't afford it. My next best pick is Eternal Magic by Avon. I sell Avon, but I'm not biased, but this is not old fashioned or overpowering or cloying. Stays with you all day too. You need to know an Avon rep to let you know which type you're looking for as they vary widely.
by kaerae01 Tuesday, December 18, 2012 at 02:45PM Report as inappropriate
I've only tried two in the list. VS is okay. Avon's is amazing but can be overwhelming if over applied. But again, it happens with any perfume!

CedarX vpu doesn't decode only 1080p, it can decode Quad HD 2160p and encode 1080p at full rate in h264 high profile, this is also an interesting point for lot of developers around video solution.
Phoronix: Another ARM Video Decoder Being Reverse-Engineered
While the binary wall has yet to fall with ARM SoC vendors in terms of providing open-source drivers -- namely when it comes to the graphics / multimedia blocks -- there's many active community projects for reverse-engineering these ARM blocks to provide open-source support. Here's another project that's being done for cracking the video decoder on a popular Chinese ARM SoC...

I've seen this chip/SoC show up nearly every time the Rasberry Pi is mentioned, but it never seems to be available or easily purchaseable. Does anyone have a link?
DX has a ton of products using the A10. Tablets to usb-stick-form-factor.
It's a little shaming, or maybe a call to arms is required, that there's no mention of the AMLogic AML8726. This SoC actually has, unfortunately unlicensed atm, Open-source Video drivers, from what I was told.
for example. Everything is there I believe, including the, unfortunately binary only, firmware.
So at this time, the AMLogic, besides it's mali GPU, should be 'the' oss SoC!
We're buying A10 tablets (Android 4.0) in bulk and selling them to our clients with our custom survey software installed (custom Android launcher).
ignore where it says "1.5 GHz". Its some fair bit of "creative" mathematics that gets them to 1.5, including (but not limited to) adding the GPU frequency to the CPU frequency.
Also ignore the manufacturer name and model number. That tablet's REAL name is "LY-F1", and there are community android builds available for it.
Edit: BTW: HDMI out (mini-HDMI plug) and USB host.

Yes, I heared about manual upgrading of frequecy of tablet pc too, anyway it is wiser to go for reviewers such as below for it before buying and do not only look at the specifications. but Cheap tablet pc do saves money.
