Thanks for your comment.
can i Download android apps here and make a test
Yes you can
how can i get apk-files directly into the virtual device?
Use ADB to push apps to your Virtual Device
I was able to play clash of clans with this emulator, which is super awesome. But now, suddenly, I can't any more. I was just logging in as usual and then it crashed or somthing at the loading screen. My thought is that supercell had found out the what emulator could do and they decided to dislike it. However, if I'm wrong then can any one help me, please?
Retry it.
How to configure Genymotion for localhost ?
In tutorial "Develop a Complete Android Login and Registration System with PHP, MySQL" i can't run on Genymotion.
You should configure Genymotion to work with your Eclipse IDE . It is already given in the tutorial.
is this app always running with vbox? i have installed it and it always ask for vbox
Yes. You need virtualbox to run it.
Then select play to start your virtual device.For the first time it asks to configure sdk path for using ADB , select the sdk path and you will be booted to Android home screen……… Kindly clarify this point.. I am stuck here and cant move forward. do i need to download android sdk or just give the path.
ADB is for debugging only. If you want to use ADB download Android SDK from the Android Developers Website and give the path of the SDK in Genymotion.
hey i installed genymotion without missing any step but when i download any app, i open it and it crashes whyy ?? please help
Some apps are not supported in Genymotion
Uhm.. I can't download any app cause when I do it suddenly says "Error" on the notification bar.. uhm what do you think the problem is?
Restart your Virtual Device
i was installed and run application, but when open bbm there is problem, " unfortunetly bbm has stopped ".
can you help?
Clear the app data and try again
how do i know my username and my password ?
Register for new account.
Alternate download page (no registration required): http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Genymotion-Download-240056.html
Anyway, what is the point of having to sign up first before downloading Genymotion from its official website?
Then select play to start your virtual device.For the first time it asks to configure sdk path for using ADB , select the sdk path and you will be booted to Android home screen……… I already select the sdk path but when i click ok even when i restart it, the devices are not listed, can you help me I still stuck on this step.
Can you give a Screenshot ?
How to set the adb path in genymotion. please help, I don't know how to give the path for adb.
you dont need it …… skip that step.
if you need it then see this article
Hi, i folowed this guide but i have a problem. I have all configurated, VirtualBox, Genymotion with some devices and "run configuration" from Eclipse program. But when i run the application and i try to pick Genymotion, this doesn't appear. I don't know what i need to do.
This is an example http://gyazo.com/9d233050af68116d1e2208bab2ed516e
I started device from plugin before try to run program.
How you Configured ADB with Genymotion
i am unable to see Google play in my device.
wants to access whats app please help..
Genymotion currently removed Google Play from their virtual devices due to policy issues. Use Bluestacks to access whatsapp.
Can you help me ?
What help ?
Hi, I just downloaded it and I want to ask you some questions
1. what's the most perfect virtual device for my win7 32bit?? are the galaxy S4 4.3 is good for gaming?? cozz i wanna choose that…
2. should i download the plugins?? and what the plugins function??
3. can you tell me where the game directory (android,data/obb)?? coz i want to put my real racing game data there…
plz reply it ASAP…. thankyou.
Ya its good. Plugins are necessary when you want to test your Android Eclipse project with Genymotion.
Most of the game data are in "data" directory.
How come I can't browse the web using Google Chrome in Genymotion? I skipped ADB.. Do i have to set anything else up?
this is because of some problem with your internet linked to genymotion.
how to configure internet. i tried giving proxy but its not working
select the network settings in virtual box
If i instal the genymotion plugin for eclipse , do i need to setup genymotion & VirtualBox before setuping in eclispe?
hello,just curious if genymotion supports social networks? bbm,whatsapp etc
Yes it does
when i open clash of clans in genymotion it "unfortunately stops working".. any suggestions????? ive tried everything possible
heyoo… i want to ask about , some game can understand genymotion is a avirtual device and not give permissionfor play…when enter the game main screen write " pls use a real android or ios device"… need a way how can i shown genymotion like a real device ?
hey I get an error while adding a virtual device in genymotion… error is failed to deploy virtual device
furthermore I get the same error while doing the same in linux ubuntu dually booted on the same machine with windows..I dont knw what is the problem..here is the screen shot
in part #Configure Genymotion with Android Studio# step7 and 8 not done, and I can't do this two level, because there is no thing similar genymotion in target device section.
my GenyMotion Emulator remains White scree . it is not getting any interface to interact
My pc is Ubuntu 15.04 32bit (x86) i downloaded nexus 9 – 6.0.0 API 23 but it says it is 64 bit kernel
what should i do? which virtual device is good for 32 bit?
I am new to all this so pls excuse me if i ask any silly questions…
I am facing this issue from quite some time now….
whenever i start my virtual device through genymotion it shows white screen whereas when i start the device directly through Orace VM VirtualBox Manager it runs perfectly and i am able to see the home screen of the device.
I have Windows 7 (32bit) installed on my laptop and my Display adapter is Mobile Intel(R)965 Express Chipset Family with OpenGL2.0 installed.
Any suggestions….. TIA

I have a giordana frame so I put in a shimano italian threaded bottom bracket. It's my first fixed gear, and I'm liking it, but today when I was riding, as I was slowing down I suddenly felt the rear wheel lock up. I took it off the road and the cranks won't spin. i inspected the bottom bracket (not the insides) and it looks like one of the cups of the bb is protruding more than it should (if it should at all).
so, what's up with this?! will i need to replace my bb? it was new. is this normal that it just lock up? i hadn't noticed any problems with it; no noises, cycling was smooth, no indications. can anyone tell me what's going on? thanks!

Maggie Mahar's Health Beat blog tipped me off about a Bloomberg opinion piece by an Oregon urologist that begins by stating:
"The decision to opt for medical care that relies on the most costly technology is often based on blind faith that newer, elaborate and expensive must be better."
Later, he focuses specifically on robotic surgery devices:
"They are costly and require significant re-training for surgeons. Yet consumers hungrily seek out surgeons versed in their use. If a surgeon recommends an older, less expensive technology, many patients will shop for a surgeon willing to use the newest and costliest devices, even if the added benefits are unproven and the risks may be greater.
Hospitals do nothing to discourage this and engage in the kind of tawdry marketing more familiar on late-night infomercials by using patient testimonials. "I cannot believe how quickly I recovered," a vigorous-looking patient is quoted as saying.
As a surgeon I have to ask: Where is the data? Was the recovery any quicker than in a procedure done without a robot? Would another surgical approach have served the patient as well? And cost a lot less?
We are all keepers of the health-care system treasury. In making treatment choices, physicians and patients alike would do well to ask: "If I were paying for this out of my own pocket would I choose this treatment, or am I just being wowed by the cool factor at someone else's expense?"
In the first decade of practice I was enthralled with the amazing new technology. Moving into my second decade I hope to temper some of that enthusiasm with a bit of good old-fashioned fiscal responsibility."
It should be noted that the urologist/author discloses in the editorial that he is is founder of a medical device company with its own surgical system.

There's slighly altered version in the doctor's (and my)hometown newspaper, The Oregonian:
It is so refreshing to see a surgeon talking about cost versus effectiveness. Of course, the scary part was mentioning millions of dollars of equipment gathering dust in the hospital's basement –not because it doesn't work but because something "new and improved" came along…

A hot order of fried cheese is just one of many appetizers that has folks flocking to the Quitman Steak and Seafood Grill.
Grill owners say they are thrilled to have been embraced both by locals and by folks around our region during their first year of business.
Suellen Dell, restaurant owner, says, "This is my attempt, along with a lot of other merchants here, to help bring people here, and it's proving to do that because every day in our restaurant you can find people from Madison, Thomasville and Valdosta."
All those customers have allowed this business to hire 35 employees who say they are thrilled to have this kind of opportunity in their hometown.
"Regular customers here at the Quitman Steak and Seafood Grill say this one restaurant has helped change the future of downtown Quitman, and they say it's also helping bring new economic hope to the community."
Toney Shiver, a regular customer, adds, "It's also provided a facility with good food, great atmosphere and just a really comfortable place to be."
Suellen Dell says, "I see the people getting hope that Quitman has a chance to survive, that it's growing, that things are turning around.
As the people of Quitman continue to spread the word, this restaurant and this community can only hope to benefit from the people it attracts.
The steak and seafood grill is easy to find; it's part of the renovated downtown located right on Highway 84.

The present invention relates to a method of deductive processing a posteriori, to recreate an analog luminance signal from a digital signal used for transmission, which was derived from an analog/digital conversion of a luminance signal representative of a document to be transmitted.
The subject invention applies more particularly, but not exclusively, to the digital transmission of iconographic documents transmitted and received by a method of the "Belin" type, assisted by the addition of analog-digital and digital-analog conversion circuits.
It is recalled that in "Belin" type methods of transmission used heretofore, the document to be transmitted is wrapped, without overlapping, on a cylinder driven with a rotary movement, and a reader (photosensitive cell, photomultiplier tube, etc.) integral with a platen moving on an axis parallel to the axis of the cylinder, detects the light reflected from the illuminated document at the focal length of the reader.
In an analogous fashion, on reception, the document is reproduced on a sensitive medium supported by a cylinder driven with a rotary movement, by means of a printout device moving on an axis parallel to the axis of the cylinder, and controlled by the analog signal detected at the output of the transmission line.
More precisely, when the transmission of the signal along the line is digital, at the transmitting end, the analog signal representing the document to be transmitted is a luminance signal modulating a carrier in amplitude or frequency modulation. The bandpass of this analog signal is then limited by the photoelectric cell of the reader and by the resolution of the transmitters. It should be noted that this bandpass can be limited to 800 Hz without giving rise to serious alteration and degradation of the signal (a filtering of the signal processed at 800 Hz does not give rise to any visible deterioration in the quality of the images received).
The luminance signal, after demodulation, is analyzed at a frequency f that remains a function of the rapidity of modulation used (φ) and of the number of quantizing bits (n) according to the formula:
for example with φ=4,800 bauds or 9,600 bauds and n=4 or 5 bits.
This frequency f represents the sampling frequency which, according to Shannon's theorem, is too low when working at 4,800 bauds with a number of bits greater than 4.The reconstituted signal would, in this case, show serious distortions, but this does not take into consideration the characteristics inherent in the luminance signal.
Take, for example, a photo to be transmitted which is constituted by parallel lines which are, in fact, a continuous succession of points or pixels.
The number of points is a direct function of the bandpass, since it is limited by the resolution of the transmitters (this number is eual to twice the bandpass).
Thus in one revolution per second of the transmitting cylinder, there is a definition of about 1,600 points, while in 2 revolutions per second it is restricted to 800 points.
When the processing means (φ and n) have been selected, the sampling frequency is defined by f=φ/n. The data of the problem are fixed, and it is well to process the luminance signal so that it may be analyzed, stored, transmitted and reconstituted without apparent alteration.
When the photo is transmitted at the rate of the 1 revolution per second, each line is analyzed with an increment, in other words there is a definition of 960 points or pixels (with φ=4,800 bauds and n=5 bits).
The number of points corresponds to the number of samples per revolution of the cylinder, and is therefore equal to f divided by the number of revolutions per second. Since the line has a certain length (for example L=200 mm), it is possible to compute the interval separating each point (for example L/f=0.21 mm) and from this to deduce that the details, which will be less fine, can be (this being a matter of probability) omitted in the reconstituted photo. Moreover, it is worth noting that the fineness obtained is better than that obtained by 2-revolutions-per-second analog devices.
The problem is much more difficult for photos transmitted at a rate of 2 revolutions per second. Since the sampling frequency remains unchanged, there is a fineness of 960 points, but this time for the analysis of two lines, hence 480 points per line, which is clearly inadequate since the details escaping analysis have a maximum dimension greater than 0.4 mm.
The reconstituted image will have a coarse-featured mosaic appearance since each pixel will, of course, occupy a small rectangle approximately 0.43 mm long of constant density.
A first solution is to integrate the pixels before the sampling, and hence between two quantizations (A-D conversion). As described in patent application No. FR 81,09240 of May 8, 1981, in the name of Applicant, the mean density of the pixel has to be computed, and this average value is transmitted digitally (after quantization).
When a microprocessor is used, the latter, taking, for example, samples at the selected base frequency (4,800 or 9,600 Hz), the latter being coherent relative to Shannon's theorem, will compute the average value of the samples forming the pixel, quantize this average, and transmit it after a linear-to-logarithmic conversion.
This method has the enormous advantage of bringing out the finest details present, and doing so implicitly, in the transmitted signal, even though their value was compressed by the integration. The factor of probability and chance has thus been eliminated.
A second solution consists in the application of a varitable signal processing at the receiving end of the system. Remember that the bandpass of the analog signal can be reduced to 800 Hz, and that, in the most unfavorable case, (2 revolutions per second), there are 480 samples per line and hence 480 pixels.
In order to eliminate the mosaic effect, the signal must therefore be processed at the receiving end. This processing can be in an analog mode, hence after D-A conversion, or in a digital mode before conversion.
The major defects which must be additionally remedied are four in number:
(1) Deterioration of sharp transitions of the analog signal for substantial differences in amplitude, hence for the limits between contrasted zones.
(2) Fine details that have been eliminated in processing at the transmission end, but which exist by implication.
(3) The effect of zone contours in the course of color ranges, these contours being encountered in the passage from one level of quantization to an adjacent level.
(4) The annoying mosaic effect.
The object of the present invention, therefore, is to find a solution which will eliminate these defects. With this in mind, the subject invention is based on the fact that the most important characteristic of the analog luminance signal (on transmission) is the time of rise, tm (risetime) (10%-90%) which, in the case of rotation of the cylinder at 2 revolutions per second is about 550 us (in 1 revolution per second it is greater than tm 700 us).
On the basis of this characteristic, when comparing the analog signal and the signal after digitization, it can be deduced that during the time of integration of a pixel, there can be no more than two intersections of the analog signal with its average value.
The invention makes use of this property which, in contrast to other processing methods, where there is anticipation, authorizes a deductive processing at the receiving end, that is to say an a posteriori--processing, not a predictive method.
The advantage of this method is the avoidance of the use of complex and troublesome memories and, since each pixel is quantified as a unit, and since, in conjunction, the transmission is synchronous, it assures almost complete immunity to parasitc disturbences.
It must be remembered that the receiving part of the device also comprises the reverse function of linear-logarithmic conversion as mentioned above.
Thus, in order to recreate the sharp transitions of the analog signal, a method according to the present invention consists in taking into consideration, before or after the D-A conversion and preferably before the log-lin conversion, at the receiving end, with p successive pixels and, as a function of their relative and absolute amplitudes, in processing the central pixel by breaking it down into m "sub-pixels" which are accorded weights (hence densities) that are a function of those of the surrounding pixels.
With this in mind, the average value of the density of the initial pixel to be processed can be retained, and be redistributed over the corresponding pixels recreated, according to the formula: ##EQU1## in which: C represents the absolute amplitude of the central pixel to be processed,
Cj represents the amplitude of the sub-pixels created,
m represents the number of sub-pixels.
In this way it is possible to refine the size of the pixel and create intermediate levels of quantization. This method therefore, simultaneously solves the aforementioned mosaic and zone contour problems.
More precisely, and according to a first embodiment of the invention, the number of pixels taken into consideration is at least equal to three, namely pixel P to be processed, the preceding pixel P-1 and the following pixel P+1, pixel P forming a quantization gap x relative to pixel P-1 and a quantization gap y relative to pixel P+1.
The quantization of the sub-pixels created for the processing of pixel P is then as follows:
If the product x·y is equal to zero, the values of the amplitudes Cj of the sub-pixels are unchanged and remain equal to the absolute amplitude P to be processed.
If the product x·y is positive, the values of the amplitudes Cj of the sub-pixels are computed so as to ensure a stepped transition between pixels P-1 and P+1, wherein the slope, determined experimentally, various as a function of the gap between values x and y.
If the product x·y is negative, the values of the amplitudes Cj of the sub-pixels are computed so as to ensure a recreation of fine details by a transition having a maximum or minimum, wherein the form, determined experimentally, varies as a function of the gap between values x and y.
According to a second embodiment of the invention, the number of pixels taken into consideration is equal to five significant pixels, namely pixel P to be processed, preceded by pixels P-1 and P-2 and followed by pixels P+1 and P+2, pixel P forming a quantization gap x relative to pixel P-1 and a quantization gap y relative to pixel P+1, while pixel P-2 forms a quantization gap alpha (α) with pixel P-1 and Pixel P+2 a quantization gap beta (β) with pixel P+1.
The quantization of the sub-pixels created for the processing of pixel P is then as follows:
If the quantization gap x is equal to zero, as in the preceding embodiment, the values of the amplitudes Cj of the sub-pixels are unchanged and remain equal to the absolute amplitude of pixel P to be processed.
If the quantization gap is different from zero, several approaches are possible:
(a) the product x·y is equal to zero.
if beta.x=0 the values of the amplitudes Cj of the sub-pixels are unchanged and remain equal to the absolute amplitude of pixel P to be processed except in the case where the quantization gap |x| is lower than or equal to a predetermined value (for example 1). In this case, the amplitudes Cj will vary according to the linear equation ##EQU2## in which C is the absolute amplitude of pixel P,
j is the number of the sub-pixel,
m is the number of sub-pixels of pixel P.
if beta.x is greater than zero, the values of the amplitudes Cj of the sub-pixels are unchanged and remain equal to the amplitude of pixel P to be processed.
if beta.x is less than zero, the values of the amplitudes Cj of the sub-pixels are computed so as to ensure a recreation of fine details for both pixels P and P+1, because this is a case of double points;
(b) if x·y is negative, the values of the amplitudes Cj of the sub-pixels are computed so as to ensure a recreation of fine details for pixel P, and, where the case applies, for pixels P and P+1;
(c) if x·y is positive, the values of the amplitudes Cj of the sub-pixels are computed so as to ensure a stepped transition between P-1 and P+1 as mentioned above.
It is worth noting that for reasons of simplification in the clocks, the number of sub-pixels m can be advantageously selected to be equal to the number of quantization bits n. Furthermore, in an operative system, the number m must be greater than or equal to 3 (m≧3).
There are, however, certain cases which it is impossible to process conveniently. These cases are limited to small variations in the analog signal, but at high frequencies (greater than 480 hz for 2 revolutions, and 960 Hz for 1 revolution). It was noted that on a classic image, the exceptional cases are very rare and that the processing produces no supplementary deterioration in comparison with an unprocessed signal.
Another object of the invention is the application of the method described above to a device for the recreation, after digital transmission of an analog signal such as, for example, the signal coming from a Belin type analyzer, this system comprising:
(a) At the transmitting device:
A linear-logarithmic converter receiving the demodulated analog signal.
A unit formed by two integrators in parallel at the outlet of the converter, and operating alternately, this unit allowing the integration of the entirety of the luminance signal delivered by each pixel.
A analog-digital converter connected to the outlet of the unit through a blocking sampler designed to store the signal furnished by either of the two integrators for the time necessary for the analog-digital conversion relative to each pixel, and
A parallel-series interface to serialize the digital signal representing the value of each of the pixels, and transmit it to a multiplexer and/or a modem over the transmission line in accordance with prevailing standards.
(b) At the receiving part.
A series-parallel converter receiving the series digital signal emanating from the transmission line.
A digital-analog converter connected to the output of the series-parallel converter.
A logarithm-linear converter to process the signal obtained by the digital-analog converter so as to obtain, at its output, an exponential signal identical to the demodulated analog signal transmitted at the input of the transmitting part, and computing and processing unit applying the method according to the invention, which can be situated before or after the digital-analog converter.
According to another characteristic of the subject invention, the modulated signal furnished by the transmitter is transmitted to the linear-logarithmic converter through a demodulating, white-detecting and leveling circuit, this circuit comprising: in series between the transmitter and the linear-logarithmic converter, a variable-gain amplifier and a full wave rectifier, a switching device being provided between the full wave rectifier, the linear-logarithmic coverter and/or the transmission line.
In this case, the invention provides a circuit acting on the switching device to break the connection between the full wave rectifier and the linear-logarithmic converter in the absence of an emission from the transmitter.
A circuit is also provided to:
detect the presence of a white signal emitted at the start of the transmission;
adjust the gain of the variable-gain amplifier so that the latter will deliver a signal the amplitude of which will be equal to the maximum value that the analogdigital converter can process;
store the signal determining the gain of the amplifier so that this gain will remain identical throughout the transmission, and
make the connection between the full wave rectifier and the linear-logarithmic converter when the locking of the amplifier gain is completed.
The transmitting part can also comprise a circuit to generate, after the amplifier gain locking and before the digital processing of the document:
(a) a redundant binary word serving as a synchronization signal to the receiving part so that the latter may recognize the beginning and the end of a binary word quantizing a pixel.
(b) when applicable, a recognition word, generally known as a SECAL which, depending on the code used, will or will not authorize the receiver to receive the message.
In this case, the receiving part can, in turn, comprise:
A circuit for decoding the recognition word which, depending on the code used, will or will not authorize the receiver to receive the signal transmitted by the line.
A synchronization word decoder to transmit a zero reset signal for the clock which clocks the digital-analog converter.
A deductive processing circuit according to the method of the invention, with a circuit installed either after the D-A converter, or before this converter.
Several embodiments of the invention will be described below by way of non-limiting examples, with reference to the attached drawings in which:

FIG. 6 is a diagram as a function of the time, illustrating the principle of recreation of fine details;
FIG. 7 is a diagram of voltage as a function of the time, illustrating a breakdown into steps.
Referring to FIG. 1, the signal from transmitter 1 (for example an amplitude-modulated 1800 Hz carrier) is applied to the input of a variable-gain amplifier 2 through an isolation transformer 3.
At the end of three seconds of uninterrupted white signal sent by transmitter 1, circuit 4 detects the presence of a transmission start and adjusts the gain of amplifier 2 so that the latter will deliver a signal the amplitude of which is equal to the maximum value that analog-digital converter 5 can process, such that the maximum-amplitude signal corresponding to the "white" delivered by transmitter 1 will indeed correspond to the highest digital value that analog-digital converter 5 may furnish. Nevertheless, if the document reading signal were to present a white amplitude above that determined initially by the white signal, a chopper or amplitude limiter can be provided to align this amplitude with the white level previously established. The signal determining the gain of amplifier 2 is stored so that this gain will remain identical throughout the transmission of the document.
Once this gain locking is obtained, a circuit 6 generates a redundant binary word that serves as a synchronization signal to the receiving part (FIG. 2) so that the latter may recognize the beginning and the end of a binary word quantizing a pixel. The circuit 6' provides a recogniztion word known under the name Secal which, depending on the code used, will or will not authorize the receiver to receive the message. A full wave rectifier 7 is connected to the output of amplifier 2 and to a low pass filter 7' which demodulates the 1800-Hz carrier luminance signal.
The demodulated analog signal furnished by rectifier 7 is transmitted to a linear-logarithmic converter 8 by means of a switching device 9.
The function of this converter 8 is to linearize the luminance signal. As a matter of fact, the latter is linked exponentially to the varying grays, ranging from black to white, of the document. The linearizing of this ratio makes it possible to quantize each pixel with only 5 bits.
The output of converter 8 is coupled to a double integrator 10, each section of which, working alternately, makes it possible to integrate the entire luminance signal delivered by each pixel. This method eliminates the uncertainty of integration caused by the necessary time taken by a single integrator to return to zero before each fresh integration of a pixel luminance signal.
Once this integration, is completed, the signal is transferred to a blocking sampler 11 and stored in this sampler 11 for the time required by the analog-digital converter 5, which follows, to finish its conversion. The digital signal representing the value of the pixel is then serialized by the parallel-series interface 12 and sent from the output of the system toward a multiplexer and/or a modem 13 by means of which line 14 can be employed according to prevailing standards.
In this exemplary embodiment, the clock frequency clocking the analog-digital converter 5 and the parallel-series interface 12, is equal to 4800 Hz, a frequency furnished by transmitting modem 13, divided synchronously by N, N being the number of binary bits making up the binary word quantizing a pixel.
The result, then, is a synchronous transmission of the binary data, that is to say, without supplemental beginning and ending bits.
In the receiving part represented in FIG. 2, the series digital signal transmitted by line 14 is applied to the input of a 5-bit series-parallel converter (offset register 16. The signals from this converter 16 are received by a decoder for binary recognition words 17 emitted by block 6 (FIG. 1) which, depending on the code 18 used, will authorize or not authorize the receiving part to take the document. In parallel, a synchronization word decoder 18' triggers, after validation 19, a signal that is applied to the zero-reset input of a counter 20, a divider-by-five of the clock frequency of modem 13, (4,800 Hz). The output from this counter 20 controls the retrievel by digital-analog converter 21 of the signal present at its inputs. The binary words applied to the digital-analog converter will be taken into consideration synchronously with the binary words generated by the transmitters.
The signal thus obtained is the analog image of the transmitted signal, within the limits of digital reconstruction. This signal is then processed by the logarithmic-linear converter 22, and by a computing and processing unit 23 applying the method according to the present invention. This exponential signal then modulates a carrier, for example, of 1800 Hz, in modulator 25, and the signal is directed toward reconstitution unit 24 by means of an isolation transformer 26. This signal is thus identical to the modulated analog signal delivered by transmitter 1.
In order to avoid interference, which give a watered-silky appearance to the reconstituted document, the modulated 25 is controlled by the clock signal of modem 13.
When the transmitter has completed the analysis of the document, the 1800 Hz signal disappears. At this moment an image detection circuit 27 detects the end of the image and the block 27' shunts the ouput of converter 22 so that the modulation level of circuit 25 is then at -50 dB. The reconstitution unit, taking only a signal above -37 dB, then registers the end of transmission.
It should be noted that in the transmission system described above, the line-by-line reading of the documents can be embodied according to a principle different from the "BELIN" method.
Moreover, an important advantage of the system according to the present invention is that it allows various clock frequencies without disturbing the operation of the system.
In addition, an embodiment of this transmission system can be obtained with a microprocessor.
In this case, the order of the processing operations on the signal is modified as follows:
in the receiving part, all processing operations on the signal will take place before the digital-numerical converter 21;
in the transmitting part, the operations on the signal will take place after the analog-digital converter 5.
It should be noted, first of all, that the diagram was presented to illustrate the fact that, as mentioned above, during the time of integration of a pixel, there can be no more than two intersections of the analog signal (analog source signal z(t) with its average value (digitized signal Z (t).).
It will be recalled in this connection that these two signals satisfy the following formula: ##EQU3## in which ti represents the instants of sampling and with
t(i+1)-ti =1/f
f being the sampling frequency.
The number of pixels taken into consideration for the processing of the signal, in FIGS. 4 and 5, was selected equal to be seven, which seems to correspond to the best compromise between the efficiency and complexity of the processing algorithm.
Nevertheless, among these seven pixels P-3, P-2, P-1, P, P+1, P+2, P+3, the most significant pixels are the five central pixels P-2, P-1, P, P+1, P+2, the two end pixels, P-3, P+3 serving only in a limited number of cases.
It should be pointed out that, when reduced to three pixels (P-1, P, P+1), the processing, while more reduced, immediately provides a great improvement in the quality of the reconstituted signal and in the reproduction of the image. In any event, a treatment of this nature is described in the remaining description.
The variables in the processing of the digitized signal represented in FIGS. 2 and 3, are the following:
the base frequency φ selected for example at 4,800 Hz,
the number p of pixels taken into consideration, which is seven,
the number m of sub-pixels of the central pixel P which is equal to five,
the number n of quantification bits which is taken equal to five,
the absolute amplitudes of the pixels taken into consideration, which will be noted in the sequence ao, a, b, c, d, e, eo,
the gaps between the levels of quantization, which will be noted alphao, alpha, x, y, beta, betao, these gaps satisfying the formulas: alphao =a-ao, alpha=b-a, x=c-b, y=d-c, beta=e-d, betao =eo -e,
the amplitude Cj of the 5 sub-pixels created for processing the central pixel P whose absolute amplitude is C,
Cj=C1, C2, C3, C4, C5,
(A) General principle
It will be noted initially that the gaps x and y will define the type of processing to be applied, while alpha and beta will represent parameters, and alphao and betao being used only in special cases.
In order to keep the calculated values between the levels corresponding to photo black and photo white, the amplitude C of pixel C of pixel P is used to weight the efficiency of the processing. The latter being repetitive, it should be pointed out that the values taken into consideration at an instant t will be offset by one pixel for the processing corresponding to that of the following instant, wherein:
α.sub.(t+1) =αo.sbsb.(T) ;
x.sub.(t+1) =α.sub.(t) ;
y.sub.(t+1) =x.sub.(t) ;
β.sub.(t+1) =y.sub.(t).
(B) Type of processing depending on the values of the gaps x, y and beta
1. When x=0, no modification is to be made, that is to say that whatever j may be, comprised within the interval [1, 5], there will be the equality: Cj=C.
2. When x is different from zero, the type of processing will vary as a function of the value and the sign of the product x.y and of the product beta.x.
(a) When x.y is equal to 0:
if beta.x=0 there will be no modification to be made unless x=±1, in which case, whatever the value of j comprised in the internal [1, 5], the following formula must be satisfied: ##EQU4## when beta.x>0, no modification will be made, that is to say, whatever the value of j comprised within the interval [1, 5], the equality Cj=C will be present.
when beta.x<0, the processing "recreation of fine details" will then be applied, as described below, in reference to FIG. 4, for the two pixels P and P+1 simultaneously, because this is a case of double points C=d.
(b) When x.y<0, the processing "Recreation of fine details" will be applied for pixel P and, perhaps, in certain cases, for pixels P and P+1.
(c) When x.y>0, a "Breakdown into steps" processing is applied, as described below in reference to FIG. 5, in order to favor the transition between pixels P-1 and P+1.
It is noted therefore that it is sufficient to define two distinct processing operations which are:
The "Recreation of fine details" (x.y<0 and double point).
The "Breakdown into steps" (x.y>0).
(C) Breakdown into steps: (x.y>0)
The five sub-pixels recreated, represent the breakdown of the transition between level b and level d. These sub-levels have values determined by coefficients which are a function of the gaps x, y, alpha, beta. It will be noted that if alpha=0, or beta=0, they are replaced, respectively in the computations by alphao and betao.
Since the processing is iterative, and relates to only one pixel at a time, the passage between pixels represents a logic transition. It was therefore found advisable to define the point corresponding to the passage between two successive pixels. For the processing of pixel P, this point P1 will have the coordinates: ##EQU5##
This point thus corresponds to the best curve passage between pixel P-1 and pixel P.
In like manner, it is possible to define the optimal point of passage for the transition between pixels (c) and (d). With respect to (d), this point P.sub.(i+1) will have the coordinates: ##EQU6##
For the processing of pixel P, it is necessary to know the coordinates of this point Pi+1 relative to P. This simple change of origins is obtained by writing: ##EQU7##
Now that the two values epsilon.sub.(bc) and epsilon'.sub.(cd) are known, the variations of the end sub-pixels have been identified and it is possible, as a function of the ratio epsilon (bc)/epsilon'(cd), to determine the amplitude of all the sub-pixels to be recreated. Nevertheless, there are two exceptions in which the values of C1 or C5 deviate from the limits defined by epsilon.sub.(bc) and epsilon'.sub.(cd).
These cases are determined by the following two tests in which it must be pointed out that if alpha or beta are zero, they will not be replaced by alphao or betao.
if ##EQU8## epsilon.sub.(bc) is replaced by x when the ratio epsilon.sub.(ab) /epsilon'.sub.(bc) is greater than 1.4.
if ##EQU9## epsilon'.sub.(cd) is replaced by y when the ratio epsilon'.sub.(de) /epsilon.sub.(cd) is greater than 1.4.
It is clear that these substitutions will be made in the calculations and equations below:
By convention,: j ε[1,5], Cj =C+εj hence: ##EQU10##
(D) Recreation of fine details (x.y<0)
For this processing, the same principle as explained above is used, that is the calculation of the coordinates of the optimal points of passage: Pi and Pi+1. ##EQU11##
In the same manner, the amplitude of the subpixels will depend directly on the values epsilon.sub.(bc) and epsilon'.sub.(cd), but consideration must be given to the absolute amplitude C of pixel P, in order to limit the processing and keep the values of the recreated sub-pixels between the voltage corresponding, respectively, to photo black and photo white (Delta is the coefficient of equilibrium). It should be noted that, as before, it is necessary to add a test on (y.beta) and (x.alpha) and if alpha or beta are zero, they will be replaced in the calculations by alphao or betao respectively.
if (y.beta<0), which corresponds, for pixel P+1, to a processing of the "Recreation of fine details" type, the ratio epsilon'.sub.(de) /epsilon.sub.(cd) should be studied in order to locate the maximum of the peak to be recreated.
If this ratio is greater than 1.4, epsilon'.sub.(cd) is replaced by y in the following calculations.
if x.alpha<0), epsilon.sub.(bc) will likewise be replaced by -x when the ratio epsilon.sub.(ab) /epsilon'.sub.(bc) will be greater than 1.4.
In all of the calculations below, the Cj quantities will be defined by: j ε[1,5] on a Cj =C+Δ.sub.ε.sbsb.j.
The processing, is then carried out as follows: ##EQU12##
Two possible cases must then be considered: if ##EQU13##
if ##EQU14## the two pixels P and P+1 are treated en bloc. Since pixel P+1 has already been processed beforehand (iterative processing), and since in the present case the computed data are modified, it is necessary, before the output of the data, to have a buffer which contains the values of the five sub-pixels corresponding to the result of the processing of pixel P+1, which values can be erased in the course of the processing of P.
This particular processing of two pixels simultaneously is covered in the following part:
(E) "Recreation of fine details" processing applied simultaneously to two pixel in the case of double points
(1) (y≠0)
This processing completes the case above when meeting the condition y.beta>0. The five sub-pixels recreated for pixel (d) will be written:
with jε[1,5].
To complete the calculation, compute ##EQU15## the epsilondj quantities will assume the following values:
εd1 =-3ε.sub.(de) ;
εd2 =0;
εd3 =εd4 =εd5 =ε'.sub.(de)
if |ε'.sub.(de) |>|y| two cases are to be considered:
(a) (a)|ε'.sub.(de) |+|y|≦|ε.sub.(bc) |, the epsilondj quantities will assume the same values as before:
εd1 =-3ε'.sub.(de) ;
εd2 =0;
εd3 =εd4 =εd5 =ε'.sub.(de).
(b) |ε'.sub.(de) |+|y|>|ε.sub.(bc) | and epsilondj quantities are seen to be modified in the same manner as follows: ##EQU16##
(2) (y=0)
The useful reference points are now Pi (ti, P.sub.(bcd)) and Pi+2 (ti+2, P.sub.(cde)) with: ##EQU17## because the point Pi+1 has no reason to exist, with y being zero. Since the point is double, it is hypothesized that the maximum of the peak to be recreated is located in the middle of this large pixel formed by P and P+1. The ten sub-pixels will be noted: C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, d1, d2, d3, d4, d5 with the corresponding epsilonj and the epsilondj quantities for jε[1,5].
Taking epsilon=inf (epsilon.sub.(bcd), epsilon'.sub.(cde)) then: ##EQU18##
Call M the value corresponding to a photo white, in order to weight the Cj quantities, it is necessary to compute the equilibrium factor Delta.
if x>0, the largest gap epsilonj is compared with the difference M-C: ##EQU19##
if x<0, the larges gap-epsilonj is compared with C: ##EQU20##
In conclusion, three remarks can be made:
The domains of application which have served as limits for the study of variations in amplitude of the sub-pixels are the results of experiments and preliminary calculations which take into consideration the fundamental characteristics of an iconographic document. The variations in amplitude of the various sub-pixels have been approximated, in parts, to functions of the first degree, with a view to facilitate processing, whether analog or digital. By modifying the first derivatives of these functions, it is easy to improve the efficiency of the processing, while retaining the same average density value.
The second remark that can be made concerns the immunity to parastic disturbences. Since the bandpass of the analog signal is restricted to about 800 Hz, it can be deduced that certain transitions should not occur, and that the observation of the digital signal, or reception, makes it possible to eliminate most of the troublesome parasitic disturbences with abnormal transitions, such as, for example, dark points on a light background. For a predetermined bandpass, there is a threshold S which cannot be exceeded by the sum |x|+|y| when x.y<0.
Experience has taught that in the event n=5, this threshold can be taken equal to 15.
As a final remark, it should be recalled that the signal obtained at the output from the processing system will serve to modulate in amplitude a 1,800 Hz signal so that a classic photo receiver can be utilized. The 1,800 Hz will be subordinated to the master frequency φ from the modem in order to avoid interference and produce a natural filtering of the modulating signal.
(F) Processing in the case where only three pixels are taken under consideration
In this case, the only values considered are then x and y which play a symmetrical role, because if x and y are reversed, it is merely necessary to change the order of the Cj quantities.
x.y=0-the values of C are unchanged-Cj=C.
x.y>0-table (1)-"transitions."
x.y<0-table (2)-"details."
Processing tables used:
TABLE 1__________________________________________________________________________y ≧ x C1 C2 C3 C4 C5__________________________________________________________________________1,5 x > y ≧ x C - x/2 C - x/4 C C + x/4 C + x/2 x · y > 02,5 x > y ≧ 1,5 x ##STR1## ##STR2## C ##STR3## ##STR4##4 x > y ≧ 2,5 x C - x/2 C - x/2 C - x/4 C ##STR5##6 x > y ≧ 4 x ##STR6## ##STR7## ##STR8## C ##STR9##y ≧ 6 x C - x ##STR10## ##STR11## ##STR12## ##STR13##__________________________________________________________________________
When x>y it is sufficient to reverse the order of the Ci quantities and replace x by y in Table 1.
TABLE II__________________________________________________________________________y > 0, x < 0 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5__________________________________________________________________________-1,2 x > y ≧ -x C - x C C + 2 x C C - x x · y < 0-1,5 x > y > -1,2 x C - x/2 C + 2 x C C - x C - x-y ≧ -1,5 x C + 3 x C + x C - x ##STR14## ##STR15##__________________________________________________________________________
In the event that y<0 and x>0, it is sufficient to reverse the order of the Ci quantities and replace x by y in Table II. The output signal will be marked off by the levels corresponding respectively to photo white and photo black.

This is a rare specialty Reason refill that may be the only one of its kind. Not to be confused with a regular Waldorf Q Reason refill/Samples, this is the "16 Analog Filter Q+", very rich sounding indeed. We spent weeks Programming and making this a Reason refill. Not like some refills, that just dump the samples into the NN-XT or NN-19 sampler without any or very little programming and then are saved as a refill. Only the "Best of the Q+ sound" was sampled and then made into a Reason refill. Made use of all Filters, LFO's, Envelopes, Voices and the Mod wheel.The Super rare Waldorf Q+ is a massive sounding synth with 16 Real Analog Filters, not like the Reg. Q (only digital filters), so if you have a regular Waldorf Q samples or refill, its not the same as Waldorf Q+ refill, trust me! This is the best way to get that Waldorf Q+ sound without paying $3,800. You get all the food groups here: Heavy Basses, Super fat Pads, Crystal Clear leads and Textured FX. Some eBay user testimonies:
Now the Best Reason refill that I own! Fast shipping Very Cool WAVs!!! - ryand626
Great samples can't wait till you get more I like!!!!!! - 1 millby5Totally FAT awesome pads etc!! Thanx!!;-) - nslilies Great product at a great price. A+++ seller - 3511 omar Thanks Very Much For The Refills!! - m_sarkis Excellent ebayer, quick responses,really helpful.Reason refills are great.thanks! - dolphinsteph111 Note: This is a original production from my studio using my Waldorf Q+ and I do own the rights to this Reason Refill and it is not to be sold other than from the owner. The refill will come on a CD-R or DVD as new. Also there is a replacement plan if one has cracked or damage their CD within 7 days of receiving the refill, but I do not offer a refund (I repeat, I do not offer a refund ) return on the item because its just to easy to copy the CD and then he or she could say they already have this one and was purchased by mistake and would like a refund like one ebay member has already done. Thank you.

The Haunted Glenn Dale Hospital
Glenn Dale Hospital was built in 1934 to serve as a tuberculosis sanitarium. Sitting on 210 acres in Prince Georges County, Maryland, the 23-building institution was once state-of-the-art, but has stood abandoned since 1982, when it was closed permanently due to concerns about the copious amounts of asbestos used in the construction.
The main campus of Glenn Dale consists of a Children's hospital building and main hospital building, which are connected by a series of underground tunnels and walkways. Each of these buildings has its own morgue, and both structures are close to Glenn Dale Road, which bisects the estate and makes the buildings easy fodder for local trespassers who want to match wits with the Washington, D.C Park Police, who routinely patrol the area.
Exploration of the Glenn Dale Hospital grounds is a treacherous experience, and not only because the place is closed and trespassers are not suffered lightly. The portions of the buildings that are above ground are in severe disrepair, seeing that they have stood abandoned since 1982. Broken glass litters the ground, roofs and walls are collapsing under their own weight, and rusted metal and other debris litters the campus because of all of the unused hospital detritus that was left behind when the place shut down. The basement and tunnels are in the same condition, but with the added hazard of standing water, which rises up to three feet in some places.
Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of exploration is the same aspect that led to the hospital's closure: large amounts of asbestos. The few people who are allowed into Glenn Dale,, and this includes paranormal investigators who have gotten permission to visit, always wear respirators because of the carcinogens in the air.
The haunted history of Glenn Dale Hospital is much like that of any other long-abandoned institution of similar size. For example, after the tuberculosis epidemic faded, the hospital was repurposed to house the mentally ill. Out of this fact the legend became that the hospital was a home for the criminally insane, who were simply let loose to roam the grounds when the hospital closed. While there is no evidence to support the idea that society's violent crazies have been living in a decrepit hospital for over two decades, such stories do feed the fires of both paranormal interest and expectation. Another example of this is the legend that Glenn Dale Hospital had its own crematorium, and that the odor of burning flesh still permeates the buildings. There is a smokestack on the hospital grounds, but all evidence points to it only ever being used to burn refuse.
The few people who are lucky enough to explore the grounds find no lack of intriguing paranormal experiences, however. There are certainly the usual reports of shadow figures and unexplained sounds. The second floor of the general hospital building seems to be a hotbed of these types of activity, with reports of full-bodied apparitions in hospital gowns roaming the halls and disembodied voices either screaming or laughing maniacally. There have even been reports of a pack of ghost dogs roaming around the campus near the children's hospital. Paranormal activity like this can certainly be found all over the Glenn Dale campus, it's just that this particular floor seems more active than the rest.
There are a few local legends that concern haunting at the hospital that can't be directly confirmed or denied, but they are interesting nonetheless. One of these stories concerns a patient who haunts the hospital wearing a straightjacket. He went insane having witnessed the murder of his wife and children during a home invasion. He was so wracked with guilt that he didn't save his family that he broke into the pharmaceutical dispensary and killed himself by swallowing pills. It is this same guilt that supposedly binds his spirit to the hospital.
The second legend concerns an unnamed police officer who was called to investigate some vandalism that had occurred on the property. A while after he arrived, people in the vicinity reported hearing gunshots. When backup arrived, the officer was found in one of the patient rooms, staring blankly at a bare wall. He had emptied his gun into this wall, firing at something that no one would ever find. True or not, such stories are a vital part of the mystique of this haunted hospital.
For your own safety, please do not trespass on this property at anytime.

I like your style, the fact that your site is a little bit different makes it so interesting, I get fed up of seeing same-old-same-old all of the time. I've just stumbled this page for you 😀
I thought this was going to be another long boring blog post, but I was pleasantly suprised. I will be posting a backlink on my blog, as I am quite sure my readers will find this more than interesting.
I'm a northern Virginia paranormal investigator and I was very fortunate to have been given permission to investigate this awesome place under official escort. I do not believe this place is haunted and yes, these buildings are crubbling away and there's a lot of dangerous airborne contaminants, rust, mold and debry. This place have been picked clean of so called "souvenirs" and the only thing you may collect from this place is asbestos in your lungs. Also, chances are that if you're planning to trespass onto this property, you will get caught.
UrbanEx, could we exchange contact information?
I used to live within 3 feet of the Quarters of Glendale, where the employees lived on site. I visited the hospital on many ocassions with my church choir to sing for the patients. I lost several family members to cancer, ranging from lung, breast, and bone cancer. After reading about the asbestos found there, I am certain that this has something to do with their illnesses. If you have anymore information, please contact me.
my father was the cheif engineer from 1960 until it closed.he died about 5 years ago from asbestos scaring in his lungs.
Ms. Magic— If you used to really live within 3 feet of the quarters like you say.. then you should know how to spell the name of the place. Its Glenn Dale, not GLENDALE…
I've driven by Glenn Dale hospital several times on my way to work for a friend. It is so beautiful in a sort of haunting way, I've heard lots of people tell Ghost Stories about it but I don't believe them all.
I have been researching Glenn Dale awhile now as I'll be driving back by it in a few weeks and read a story which reminded me of the hospital just yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of this article so I applaud the author.
And Tina many people spell it Glenndale without the space so I think the only thing Ms. Magic got wrong is she may have missed an 'N' . . .
I really enjoyed reading about the hospital. I pass it every Monday taking my daughter to therapy. I have been curious as to why it is empty. Thanks for the interesting reading.
I am the founder of R.A.S.P.S ,my team and myself have got a lot of stuff from glenndale.voices light lines.I would hate to see this place go.it was our first place to investigate.also it was kinda fun running from the park police and never getting caught.keep hunting people and you will find what your looking for.
heyy ive trespassed before and ive experienced something i couldnt explain. when i first went in their i thought it was just and abandon hospital like any abandon place, i did not know anything about the history until after reading this today. my experience compared to this blog really explained what really happened to me that day, im not going to get into detail but i will say i heard disremembered body voice and the i saw the soo called a full-bodied apparitions of the guy who died from overdose wearing the straightjacket blocking the way to get to get to the second floor.
I lived in Prince Georges county all my life (39 years) and have heard of the allegedly haunted Glendale Hospital. Through my childhood and teen years, the older kids in the area would tell ghost stories of the hospital to scare us younger kids. I found out not long ago that my mother, now a retired RN worked in the Glendale hospital in 1972 (pregnant with me)for 3 months. When she was asked to work on the wing that had patients with TB, she absolutely refused saying she didn't want to risk bringing anything home to her family. I thought that was interesting seeing as some known haunted hospitals housed and treated TB patients. I have never visited the hospital but thought I would share that little tidbit of history when I saw this sight.
i have been to glen dale a couple times but one time we went during the day with a group of friends and first went into the creamatory and didnt see nething but on the walk to the main campus i looked up onto a second story glass walkway and saw a man looking at us and i looked at my best friend and he was staring at the same spot the he looked at me and we both knew we had seen the same thing
Hi , ilive in Glenshire Estates like right across the street from the hospital, ive trespassed there NUMEROUS time since ive moved there and almost all the times that i have NOTHING paranormal has happened (btw i never got caught) but anyways, one of the times i was walking passed the building next to the neighbor hood and i heard a scream and also candle lights in 3 windows. That freaked me out for a while so i stayed away from it. My boyfriend didnt believe me so i convined him to come with me in broad daylight to the big building across the street..We went through the whole building even the roof. When we was on the roof we heard a scream so i was ready to go. When we was leaving we saw a dog run passed one of the doors. We went to go check it out and when we got to the door the dog was just staring at us (it was a German Shepard) so we walk outside and the dog ran to the other side of the building. We ran to the other side of the building and we saw it poking its head from the side and when we headed for it it turned around and started to walk away . As soooon as we got to where it was at in like 5 sec. it was gone. It was no where in site and we searched the place numorous times to find it , and never did. THIS IS TRUEEE !!!! I swear that was the Last time i went up there and this was back in April..
Hello, you may find me sitting in my police car at all times of the night there. We go there to collect paperwork and train. I would advise those that try to go inside the buildings that they are beyond repair; the recent snows have collapsed several roofs, mainly the smaller buildings. It isn't safe.
I will say this, someone is pushing the large concrete slabs from off the main hospital into the driveways (we used to be able to drive through the archs).
I have never seen or heard anything out of the ordinary, in fact, I find it peaceful there.
Oh, the German Sheppard was K-9, they train there on the property and run loose.
I seen you up there. You ain't lock me up when you got me me thx. All I know is there is lots of water in them basements cuz we tried to get to them tunnels. I heard some crazy noise in that main bulding…we ain't going back up there Peace
Does anyone have contact information to call or get in touch with someone to seek permission to investigate Glenn Dale? Me and some friends were looking to do some ghost hunting this month and didn't really want to take the chance in getting arrested or fined for trespassing into something that we just want to investigate and not destroy or vandalize. Thank you!
One of our authors named (DEE ALLO) wrote a book entitled: The 13th Day, which is about the Glenn Dale Hospital. We initially thought the book was just a good read, but after seeing all of your blogs about this place…we think this author may know something privileged about this place!!!
Hmm. After reading some of these replies, I realize that the younger generations are lacking some SERIOUS grammar skills. My God. What is happening to the English language…
Ive been to Glenn Dale Twice within the last year. Ive experienced some things unexplained either mind tricks or paranormal. Ive seen he Park Police up the only on one occasion an ive never had thepriviledge in running into them. I would love to goback again with permission so sneaking around isnt needed though. I f there is anyone who has info on who to talk to about it please let me know. And to the PgPolice – if i were to ask your permission would i be able to go through the hospital with or without your guidance would i be aloud? I dont vandalize property abandoned or not and have great respect for the great landmark! Ive seen figures walking, i have pictures of shadows and videos or a (ghost) following us(noises and file cabinets being moved on film) It is a great place to explore except for the asbestos and rubble. So to the PGPolice if i were to go to the Portable building up there where the truck always sits would i be able to gain access to the buildings?
Here is an Update: Vandals have spray painted a ton of new grafitti on the upper levels of the main building. They have also removed about 5 well covers from around the property. Meaning, if you come up there at night and don't look down, you will fall down into a well.
Listen, I enjoy the intrigue and mystery just like all of you. But thanks to a few vandals, they have ruined it for everyone. We arrested a couple of guys there who were using one of the buildings as a place of business for heroin. Also, there are those who dump trash others who like to destroy the brick work.
so we are not able to go up there and investigate but if we are then what are the age range that can go in there if we get permision
I visited the hospital about 4 years ago. While I was there I encountered a green orb when I was walking towards the chapel that dissapeard into the ceiling. I also heard voices down by the basement.
My friends and I went to Glenn Dale last night, we were dressed in all black and just walked on the sidewalk of the grounds to find the building we wanted ( street side) and we got stopped after like 5 minutes by TWO police officers..
In the late 90's/early 2000's when my friends and I were in high school we trespassed here almost once a month for about 6 months. We called them 'night missions'. Anyway I never saw anything that would make me think this place was haunted. We had video and digital camera's and we never caught much more than dust (probably asbestos) catching the light.The only time anyone got caught was the one time I didn't go. They were just told to leave.
I went there a few times back around 1988, at night mostly, but during the day a couple of times too, probably more enjoyable since it is really an impressive place. I was 16 or 17 at the time. It´ll leave an impression on you, that´s for sure. I still have nightmares about the place at night. I´ve been through all those tunnels. There was no water back then. Huge area. Once we had to cross a huge snow covered field under the moonlight to get back to the car. Unforgetable times. I highly recommend a visit. You´ll remember it for the rest of your life. Be safe of course.
Too funny! The "PG Police" have no authority on these grounds or buildings…this place is policed by the DC Park Police. Do a little research people. No, you can not get "permission" to go in any of these buildings, they are a safety and health hazard.
my buds and i used to go there in high school to check out the dorms and other buildings. great place to bring girls and scare them.
it's a scary place, no doubt. we didn't touch anything, suspecting it was not healthy (the TB rumor), lucky for us it was just asbestos ;).
To LOL,
Lets meet up there then, I can show you who has "authority". The land is now under Maryland Park and Planning; their police department has a "MOA" with the PG Police. Also the land sits right in the middle of the county (check the tan trucks near the trailer and tell me what police department is shown).
To the last couple of groups I stopped last month, thank you for not running and for being respectful. You received the same in return. That is how you get a warning.
The conditions are really horrible at this point. It really isn't safe.
PGPD Sergeant.
Yes sir. I tend to give people the benefit of doubt when I stop them at the site. We just want no one to get hurt.
It is creepy though.
At UrbanEx. I have personally visited this place. I am actually pursueing a career in paranormal investigation. I STORNGLY believe in ghosts. I actually have proof that this place is, I wouldn't really say "haunted" but there are definitly some lost souls still roaming the halls. In one of the pictures we took. They are of the same photo and about I would say 3-4 seconds off. In the first picture u clearly see two orbs. No these are not dust we went through all of the pictures n found we had caught several orbs. I know the difference between dust and orbs. Anyways. We took the shot again in the exact same place and the same two orbs did not show up. The weird thing about these two orbs was that they were actually right under the other as if two friends or co-workers were talking. If u would like me to send them to you just let me know.
You can infact get the correct permission to go on and into the property for good reason. Just to correct everyone. There have been plans for this site for a few years that have fallen into the cracks. There is a new plan at this time and a site survey is going to be done as well as a assesment team to go over the different buildings to see what can be kept and restored. It should be an intresting time.
We went in yesterday and today, we saw the morgue on the backside of the large building directly across the street from the Park Service Police trailer. Its a great place, I wish that the vandels had not ruined the place. I bet the historical importance could of been preserved for many years and no, we didnt get caught by the popo. Wedidnt go in any of the buildings but could see alot just by looking in the windows. There is alot of old furnishings still sitting in place and paperwork scattered everywhere. You can really get a sense of how enormous and busy this place used to be. It is really run down now though which is unfortunate. I do reccommend a visit but the buildings are unsafe. If you can make it off of the street without getting caught you should be ok but I wouldnt run from the police as they are usually ok if you dont ake them chase you and interupt thier donut digestion. Good luck to everyone exploring !
I really want to visit this place for the historic value. I would take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints! But I'm scared of getting caught by the police.
I am not going to go but I would love for you all to post some pictures.
I rode past the building at 1:00 in the morning and there was nothing but fog all around the building and in the street. It was so creepy and the funny thing is that when we passed it the fog just disappered…. I will never go past that buliding again.
My friends and I use to explore there all the time. One night we started off at the childrens building. As we were climbing over the rocks on the lower ground we heard somethig dropped from an above ground. Thinking it was the cops we left the building quickly. While walking away it sounded like someone was laughing on the second floor. We all ignored it thinking it was someone else in the building messing with us. We walked to the main building right after this. Two of us were sitting on the stage in the basement when we saw a light flash in the projection room. When we went in there nothing was there. As we were walking down the hallway I saw a face in one of the door ways. When we entered we stood about two feet away from the wall when we could hear someone laughing and walking around behind us. As my friend looked at me he was covered in goose bumps and said something just touched him. That's when I decided it was time to leave. As we were walking back towards the stairs you could clearly hear the door next to us open up and slam shut, but it didn't move at all. That's when I grabbed his hand and ran so fast I dont know how I remembered every turn and twist to get out of there. I let go of his hand to crawl under the door to get out. I didn't stop running until I was about ten yards in front of the building. When I turned around there was something tall and dark. I can only remember feeling something breathing on me and was about two inches from my face. I instantly fell to the ground and had a panick attack. When that was done the first thing my friend asked me was what was in front of me. As we sat there we could still hear something walking on top of the leaves on the ground. I have all of this on video on an old phone. I dont care what anyone has to say, this place is haunted and I refuse to go back there.
Visited a few times many years ago while I worked for pgco ! I would like to know if any one has seen the large safe in the basement with two foot thick doors of steal! With writing on the door in the case of emergency contact the dept of navy ! It also had some writing of what was stored there! But never wrote it down! Just still wondering what the military would store in a safe that size in a hospital for the teriminal ill ! Thanks Nolan
i used to live in bowie not far from there and back in 1989 or 1990 i drive onto that property at night with a friend to show him what was there and look at the buildings. I ran over some piece of metal or something in the road and it made a loud noise and next thing i know there was a car coming and some security guard jumped out with a handgun pointing at me yelling for me to get out of the car or something like that. he ended up taking us to some trailer they had there on the property and asking a bunch of questions like what the noise was he heard. got our names and ended up just saying better not find us there again. was rather scary.he was an asshole haha. but i never went there again.
In the mid/late 90's when I was in high school, me & a group of friends went there several times. It was very creepy & intriguing, EVERYTHING was just left, furniture, paper work ect… Like when it closed they didn't bother taking anything w them! Not even patient files! I remember going through the buildings (mostly during the day, but went a few times at night) & picking up papers & reading about patients & employees who where there. We never damaged or took anything. I don't remember seeing any ghost but it wouldn't surprise me. I was always on edge & creeped out anyways bc the boys that were w us would do stuff to scare us on purpose! Lol… I think we were more worried about getting caught then seeing ghost. We never got caught, but I don't think the police patrolled the area as often then, or maybe they did & we just picked good days but none the less the place is creepy!! But the buildings were falling apart then, I can only imagine how bad they are now. But it would be neat to go back to take pictures of the out side. I don't think I'd want to go into the building now @ 30 & knowing the dangers of it. But would love to take pictures from out side. Digital cameras were still very expensive & not all that available then. If you do decide to take a chance going there & not getting caught take mask's & gloves w you!!!!! Safety 1st! But I'd say find another spot to explore bc most likely you'll get caught, & sent home.
Just found out about this place last week when I pulled up a website on the scariest places in Maryland. To my surprise, it was only ten minutes from my house. Drove pass it last Sunday. If there is a such thing as apparitions, I can imagine this being the perfect location. There's something so mysterious about this place. But I'm not as intrigued to go find out. Heck, I wouldn't even take the foot trail that runs behind the main building off of Electric Ave. Too spooky.
if I was to come out with a good friend of mine who is a pg county sergeant would we be able to get access to the property…. just for pictures of what use to be
PGPD The main question here would be is there a way in or not if there is a legal way i have a team and am willing to do it legally i can understand precaution but i must see this place in person especialy the tunnels ill get divin equipment if needed wat is the proper way to get in
Where patients moved yo another hospital ?
I was curious as to which avenues to take to get legal permission for an escort through the facility. As a photographer and a pg native I have always been curious about this site. However, law abiding citizen I am I have not ever pushed my luck to make a trip up there. Any help or steering in this inquiry would be much appreciative. Not looking for a thrill, more so a preserver of historical foundations.
Thanks! Much Appreciative!
I have been threw this place at least 30 times back in the late 80's and in the early 90's. It was a great place to explore and get wasted in your teens. We used to only go to the large Building on the hill that has the arch way attaching to the building. The other large building was very hard to try to sneak in to because the only place to park was a side road and the police would know you where there. The main house on the hill had an alam system back then. So it was no fun having to run and evade the cops. The Tunnels under the place usually where filled with water atleast to your waist most of the time, and it sucked in the winter getting wet. We did do it in the summer and it was cool to come up in the other building and it was scarry the first time. As for Ghost I could not say yes or no but we would always hear movement on other floors and did not know if other explores where there with us or not and we did meet others who where there at the same time. One night my friend and I went there with a girl friend of ours and she got real scared by a chair sitting in an empty room, she kept saying that there was a woman staring back at her. We had to leave right after that, she was almost in tears because she was so spoked.
The building where if my memory is right 7 stories 4 above ground and 3 below ground, the morge was crazy and I had friends who would lay on the slab and have us push them in.I never liked that place but I did bring out some bottles and a few plates from the elevator motors. Great place to have spent some time, now when I look at the recent pictures I am wondering what I have exposed my lungs to at the time.

That said, I do like yellow, and given a choice at the store or website, I will tend to pick kites that are yellow, or yellow in combination with other colors.

My first Rev was a 1.5 SLE. It was a gift, so I was happy with the color, it didn't matter
My next Rev was a B-series Full-Vent (Black & Lime) [Alright, I liked that]
My next Rev was a B-series Std Sail (Black & Purple) [For some reason, that kite just didn't look right in the sky(?) to me]
My next Rev was a B-series Mid-Vent (Black & Lime) [Alright, now that looked more like it, again]
My next Rev was a B-series Std sail (Black & Lime) [Voilà! My set was now complete, and matching]

Australia gov't Internet censorship plan stalls
A mandatory Internet censorship plan in Australia proposed by the government is facing stiff opposition, with an independent senator's decision to block legislation that would start the blockage of certain websites with morally questionable content, the Thursday edition of the Sydney Morning Herald reports. The Green and Opposition parties have blocked the measure and have been joined by independent Senator Nick Xenophon, who changed his position on the mandatory ban. All now believe a filter would not be effective at blocking unsafe content and would slow Internet access while carrying a risk of blocking legitimate websites.

Google Paris HQ raided by investigators
Google's Paris headquarters has been raided by dozens of French police. The Tuesday raid was part of an ongoing investigation into possible tax-avoidance practices, stoked by widespread dissatisfaction with the way multinationals like Google are structuring their business operations. Although trading in many countries around the globe, Google reports its international sales only in tax-friendly Ireland, similar to a practice adopted by Apple. According to French law, if it completes any of its sales contracts in France and not Ireland alone, it could be in breach of its laws. Google, for its part, denies any wrongdoing, and said that it is fully compliant with French law. http://reut.rs/1Udk2T9

Thus I have to ask: you observed that there were no gaps when you took things apart but did you actually have any problem with the eccentric rotating? That was not mentioned and if it was not rotating by itself then it is not broken and does not need fixing.
If you really need to cut those slots wider... or cut down hardened steel bearing cups... you may want to check into a 4" angle grinder. Fairly inexpensive and, if you can hold the bearing cup in place, it WILL cut them down.
you might want to look into an eccentric, the the Bushnell, that locks with its own cams instead of pinch bolts or set screws

Jacksonville Neighborhoods Improve Child Welfare Service
Heitfield, Heather, Nation's Cities Weekly
Five neighborhoods in Jacksonville, Fla., representing 7,000 of the city's 700,000 people, have undergone noticeable child welfare changes within the past few years. Children and families are witnessing -- and actively participating in -- transformations in the way their communities are addressing child abuse and neglect.
These innovative efforts began with the Community Partnership for Protecting Children -- a collaboration between local and state leaders, social service providers, clergy members and business owners -- which has shown tremendous dedication to the protection of children and families.

After a series of public hearings, the state of Florida modified its child welfare approach to include more comprehensive family assessments and evaluations following child abuse and neglect referrals.
Housed in one of the city's Full Service Schools, the Community Partnership is sustaining these child welfare changes by engaging five communities near the school in efforts to protect children and strengthen families.
The Partnership has mobilized tenant groups, local businesses, churches and neighborhood residents around local child protection efforts. Local residents have canvassed neighborhoods to identify existing community resources and needs, and then committed to providing designated high-risk areas with additional support services.
By working with community centers located in each neighborhood, the Partnership -- with support from the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation and the Center for the Study of Social Policy -- is helping children and families receive comprehensive educational, financial and social services from school social workers, child guidance therapists, teen counselors, family liaison workers, child protective service workers and other local organizations.
In addition to changes in neighborhood activities, child protection agency staff now works closely with neighborhood providers to extend additional services to families.
Families in Jacksonville can receive extensive support from friends and family living with in their own communities, which eliminates the need to involve child protective workers in low-risk cases. …
