Upcoming Facilities Improvements
In our efforts to continually improve and care for the facilities we're privileged to operate, there will be several projects in progress during the 2016 summer season. With such a short window for accomplishing this type of work, it often must be done while guests are in-house. We regret any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
Paving scheduled for later in summer, though loops will be closed and off line during the process so that the work is happening in unoccupied areas.

PRESS RELEASE: JAN 25th 2007
California Pro Wrestling
Saturday, April 14, 2007 at 7:00 PM
Oceanside High School Gym in Oceanside, CA
1. Triple-Threat
Lucha Libre Match: Astro vs. Bogar vs. Chimaera
· These three luchadores have mainly been wrestling in various
promotions throughout the Los Angeles area. On So Cal Pro Wrestling's
The Debut Event, all the competitors in this match will bring their
acrobatic, high-flying, and fast-paced Lucha Libre style wrestling
to Oceanside and the SCP ring.
2. Preston Scott vs. Mystery Opponent
· Preston Scott is a very unpredictable wrestler but he may
need to plan now on what he will be doing when he steps in the ring
against a special opponent.
3. Tag Team Attraction: The Young Buck$ (Mr. Instant Replay and
Slick Nick) vs.
The Ballard Bros. (Shane and Shannon)
· Mr. Instant Replay and Slick Nick could have their hands
filled considering that they are going to face the veteran tag team
of Shane and Shannon Ballard. The Young Buck$ made a name for themselves
as a serious tag team in a short amount of time and they want to
prove that they can defeat the challenge of any tag team. However,
the Ballard Brothers disagree and want to still be considered a
dominant tag team in California. Will the Canadian twin brothers
prevail or will the new and exciting tag team reign supreme?
4. So Cal Crazy vs. Matt Twizted
· In the past, So Cal Crazy and Matt Twizted have feuded
against each other and they have teamed up as well in several wrestling
promotions throughout San Diego. SCP (Southern California Pro Wrestling)
is making its name known in California and having its first show
in Oceanside. Therefore, So Cal Crazy and Matt Twizted want an opportunity
to showcase their talent and wrestling skills in front of the SCP
crowd. They will face each other for respect and to see who is the
better wrestler in the ring.
5. Charles Mercury vs. Joey Harder
· In 2006, Joey Harder had an impressive year wrestling for
various promotions in the Southern California area. Now it is 2007
and Joey Harder wants to continue his success in wrestling and for
SCP. On April 14, Joey Harder steps into the ring against Charles
Mercury for the first time ever. Charles Mercury will have to bring
his hard-hitting and technical style to the ring when he faces The
Silent Assassin. Will Joey Harder force Charles Mercury to tap out
to his version of the Lion Tamer or will it be "Death by Mercury"
for Joey Harder instead?
6. The Main Event for The Debut Event: Al Katrazz vs. Jason Redondo
· Al Katrazz and Jason Redondo's historic rivalry goes
back all the way to the days of CCW (California Championship Wrestling),
a wrestling promotion based out of Vista, California. In fact, Jason
Redondo defeated Al Katrazz on August 7, 1999 to win the CCW Heavyweight
Title and end Katrazz's third reign as champion. Their feud
was never officially finished in CCW as a result Jason Redondo plans
to make his long-awaited return to the ring in SCP. Redondo wants
to settle his hatred over Al Katrazz and to possibly rekindle their
heated feud. Will Jason Redondo be put on Lock Down courtesy of
Al Katrazz or will "The Radiant" Jason Redondo be superior
after the night is over? We will find out on April 14, 2007.
Plus: TNT is a former CCW Heavyweight and CCW Tag
Team Champion. Six years has past since we have seen TNT and he
makes his return for SCP to possibly wreak havoc in Oceanside!!!
All that and much more April 14th.
Doors open at 6:00
PM, and the show start at 7 PM. Oceanside High School Gym is located
at: 1 Pirates Cove Oceanside, CA 92054 Ticket prices are just $15.00

Programming Questions? Ask a Programmer for Answers ASAP
Thank you for the question. Are you using Excel?
I've tried an IF statement but can't figure how to get it to reflect the actual number is XXXXX 18.
You can use a formula like this on the cell: =IF(A2>18,"18",A2)
That just translates to, if the number is XXXXX than 18, show its value, otherwise show 18
If this works, cant thank you enough
Sure, let me know what you find
I'll get off now and try it. How do I let you know if it doesn't work?
You shouldn't have to leave this page to try it, but if you do you can bookmark this page to come back and rate my answer

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hi Sir or Madam,
Is he eating and drinking normally?
Does he have any vomiting or diarrhea?
Has he had any bones, rawhides or ingested any non food items?
Has he had any people food that you know of?
When did he last eat?
What breed is he?
Does he have a hunched over appearance?
Is he avoiding jumping or stairs?
It is not good to give a dog cooked bones at all. They can cause intestinal obstructions which you can read about here:
In addition, bones can splinter and puncture the gastrointestinal tract causing peritonitis.
A yellowish mucousy vomit can occur due to excess bile often caused by an empty stomach, so that might be the cause of the one instance of vomiting. I'm going to go over the causes of trembling first so you have that information. Shaking or trembling in can be due to hypoglycemia, liver shunt, or a neurologic response such as a seizure. Trembling can also be a sign of pain, stress and cold.
Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar and frequently causing trembling in small breeds. Feeding your dog smaller meals more frequently can help. If you suspect your dog is having low blood sugar you can put a drop of pancake syrup on your dog's tongue which should raise the level.
A liver shunt is usually a genetic condition. It is a condition where instead of the blood going through the liver and being cleansed, part of the blood is diverted around the liver resulting in a toxic buildup in the blood. You can read about these here: http://www.malteseonly.com/shunt2.html
Seizures can manifest as trembling and a dog may not lose conscienceness. You can read more about seizures here: http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_seizure_disorder.html
I suspect that your dog may be in pain, but it is impossible to know for sure the cause of the pain. It could very well be the result of the bone which may be causing som pain as it moves through your dog's system if it hasn't caused a more serious issue such as obstruction or peritonitis. You might try giving a little pepcid or Zantac. Read about Pepcid dosages and usage information here: http://www.petplace.com/drug-library/famotidine-pepcid/page1.aspx
Zantac can be given to a dog at .25 to 1mg per pound every 8-12 hours. Read about usage here:
This will help with excess bile. Wait 45 minutes or so and then offer a small portion of boiled chicken and rice. I'd also add a spoonful of plain yogurt to your dog's food 2-3 times a week to add good bacteria to your dog's stomach to aid in digestion as well. A bland diet of boiled chicken and rice can be used for a few days. If your dog does fine, you can slowly reintroduce your dog's regular food into the chicken and rice mixture until it is all regular food.
However, if your dog should vomit, have diarrhea, be unable to defecate or stop eating , I would have him seen by your vet. Fresh blood or mucus indicates inflammation within the large intestine while dark black or tarry looking stools indicate bleeding in the stomach or small intestines. If your dog's stools become black then your dog should see a Vet immediately. I would continue to monitor him for the next few days until you are sure he is back to his old self. Your vet can take x-rays and run bloodwork to ensure that there isn't an issue, so definitely have him seen if there is no improvement.
I hope this information is helpful to you.

TOP STORY>> Gas prices continue to climb above $2
By RICK KRON
Leader staff writer
Looking for cheap gasoline?
It wont be found anywhere between Sherwood and Beebe, as all stations surveyed were over the $2 mark.
Overall, Beebe had the most inexpensive gas in the area, ranging from $2.029 to $2.049, with an average of $2.034.
The Citgo station in Beebe, as of Tuesday, would actually sell its unleaded gasoline for $1.999, if the customer used the Citgo cash card.
One gas station manager in Jackson-ville said Tuesday, Yesterday we were at $1.99, now we are at $2.09. Im hardly making a penny a gallon. Its scary, she said. Said another Jacksonville convenience store manager, whose store is selling gas at $2.099, Rumor has it that gas could hit $2.50 by July.
A manager of a convenience store in Cabot said their price was $2.029 but that could change at any minute.
As of Tuesday, the states average, according to the American Automobile Association, was a record $2.013 for a gallon of unleaded gasoline, almost six cents lower than the new national record average of $2.072.
Locally, Beebe is averaging $2.034, while Cabot averaged three cents higher at $2.064. Jacksonvilles average for a gallon of unleaded gasoline was $2.081, while Sherwood was at $2.096.
In the state, two metropolitan areas are still slightly under the two-dollar mark, according to the AAA. Fort Smith is at $1.977 for a gallon of unleaded gasoline, while Pine Bluff is averaging $1.993. The Little Rock-North Little Rock area is at $2.012, Texarkana is at $2.018 and Fayetteville is averaging $2.042.
As gas prices go above the $2 mark, police say they have not seen any increase in drive-offs.
Even the Lonoke and Beebe police departments, each of which have been reporting one or two each week for several months, say there have been no increases in gas drive-offs as prices rise.
By and large you may have a few spur-of-the-moment people, but I dont think rising gas prices are going to make it go up all of a sudden, said Capt. Charles Jenkins of the Jacksonville Police Department, referring to gas drive-offs. I think your law-abiding citizen will always pay for gasoline no matter what the price is.
Jenkins said the departments would probably maintain the same levels of patrols until a gas shortage arises and long lines begin to form. Even then, he said monitoring gas drive-offs would fall secondary to ensuring crowd safety, as people become agitated from waiting in the lines.
He and Sgt. Dwayne Roper, of the Cabot Police Department, noted the gas stations use many crime prevention techniques and deterrents that help keep drive-off numbers down. The gas stations use options like prepaying inside, using credit and debit cards at the pumps, posting notifications that surveillance cameras are in use, and posting notifications of the consequences of driving away without paying for gas.
What people have to understand is, it is a crime, Jenkins said.
As of Tuesday, only seven states were averaging below the $2 mark. They were Georgia ($1.987), Louisiana ($1.997), New Jersey ($1.904), Oklahoma ($1.997), South Carolina ($1.955), Texas ($1.978) and Virginia ($1.992).

Ouch! Mark Salling Fractures His Pelvis (PHOTO)
Mark Salling, has fractured his pelvis. He took to Twitter on Thursday posting the "glamourous" photo above, and thanked fans for their kind remarks.Oh no! One of our favorite Gleeks,
"its not that bad, i can still walk and even run but sitting and getting up is excruciating. can i get some crylenol? or maybe some sadvil?"
So how did it happen? And is his production schedule affected?
Playing basketball! A friend of Mark's tells us that the Glee star has a hairline fracture, but is working through the pain, and it really only hurts when he sits down.
Aside from heading to the doctor when it happened, Glee and his shooting schedule won't be affected.
Such a trooper– feel better Mark!

A teenager has been taken to hospital after a firework exploded in his hand in Stockport. The 18-year-old suffered burns after the incident on Mill Lane, Woodley.
Firefighters were called to the scene at around 11.15pm on Saturday and found paramedics giving first aid to the teenager. A firework had exploded in his hand.
He was taken to Stepping Hill and was able to leave the following morning.

Johnson, "Thanks to training treats he's now watching the baby instead of the sport's channel!" -Tia V., and from Bea Dryer, "It took three weeks of treats, but he no longer says, 'Honey, the baby needs changing', thanks training treats!" AND Treat him like a king -- train him like a puppy. Now that you've found the perfect man you want to keep him that way if you can. With training treats and lots of praise you'll be able to stand him for days and days (not guaranteed). Some reward guide tips read: * One treat for putting the seat down * Two treats for giving up most of the closet space * Three treats for understanding that women are "born to shop" * Four treats for learning the line "Whatever you say, dear" Some testimonials: "Forget the diamonds, Training Treats are a girl's best friend!" -M. Monroe, "Mother knows best; she introduced me to Training Treats." -Ima Newife, and my favorite: "When I turned on to training treats, I turned off Dr. Phil." -Happy Traynor.

*WHY* is Rush Limbaugh still on the air?
When he was introduced to Armed Forces Radio, they cited a *demand* for his show.
Well now there's a DEMAND that he be taken OFF those airwaves.
*WHY* is he still there?

1. The WH petition got more than 27,000 signatures...and counting
The threshhold for an official response was 25,000, so the response may be coming at any time. Meanwhile, the petition remains active and you can add your signature here: http://wh.gov/X1O
There are other efforts directed at remaining sponsors and the radio stations that carry him--like this petition to radio KFI in L.A.: http://www.signon.org/sign/rush-limbaugh-5 . It currently has nearly 8,000 signatures and the new goal is 10,000.
Other news may have eclipsed the Limbaugh issue, but efforts to get his hate off the airwaves are continuing.

12. Because 25,000 signatures is nothing compared to what
he would get from the other side to keep him on. This is not difficult to figure out. He is a huge draw. He is the biggest draw on radio. These radio stations are all about money and they are making money. I never thought he would lose his job. Never. As much as I can't stand him and can't listen to him he does have a show that is very entertaining to the conservative right. He is the guy, unfortunately, who speaks for many people in this country. Many think he is the only person who speaks for them. They will fight very, very hard for him. You don't pull the numbers he does for as long as he has without building up a lot of power. He's really at the point where he has too much power. There are probably people at some of these radio stations who would love to pull the plug but never would because of the fallout.
By the way, Huckabee will get his ass kicked by Limbaugh just like O'Reilly did. I hate to say it, but Rush isn't leaving until he wants to leave.

6. $50 Million Reasons...
Rushbo is the "franchise" for hundreds of hate radio stations around the country. Bain/Cheap Channel and Premeire Radio are paying him big money as he's the draw for their other programs and advertising. AM is a dying medium and hate radio is one of the few formats that is still drawing an audience and if rushbo goes down so does the value of all these stations.
The interesting side show is rushbo's about to get a major competitor...Mike Hucklenutz. The new show is being produced by Cheap Channel's main competitior Cumulus Radio who owns some of rushbo's biggest outlets. If he loses these stations he'll be in a world of hurt...if he isn't already.
It's like a sports team that pays big money for a "big hitter" and they play him no matter if he's hitting .300 or .150.

22. First Amendment is not the issue here
Limbaugh isn't still on the air because of the First Amendment-- he's still on the air because of what has been said before here-- he appeals to large numbers of Fred Flintstone and Archie Bunker types. Howard Stern was a radio personality who was nearly as obnoxious as Limbaugh, but he was shitcanned by his employer for his off-the-wall remarks even though he was presumably exercising his First Amendment rights on the radio.

And he still brings in advertising dollars even after this last debacle. Plus his employers probably don't want to pay him to do nothing. He has a very large salary.
I don't think he should be on armed forces radio if there is no counter viewpoint show but I also don't think he should be thrown off the air completely. This is America, he has the right to be an asshole.

really that great and he stayed on the air for other reasons -- basically as a sponsored propaganda tool, through the concentration of radio ownership.
i'd offer more detail, but i don't remember where i read it. i wonder though, because i've only known one person who listened to him voluntarily. and his tv show flopped -- you'd think if he were so popular that he'd be popular on tv as well.

29. Because of the many hateful bigots that love him....
My father listens to his show religiously. I remember when I was young....Even though he was a racist bigot back then, he kept his comments (mostly) to himself. His mind has become so warped over the years, and I blame Rush (and the other rightwing idiot talk shows) for it. (Years of driving a big-rig listening to that crap would make anyone insane). Now, It's like he spends all of his time and energy railing about how "librul's" (and other words I can't say here) are ruining America.
There will always be a "market" for Rush's toxic spew, and there will always be some right-wing company that thinks they can "cash in" on the demographic that listens to him.
I'm sure that the reason he's still on is because there are people in positions of "power" with views just like my 'Pa. And they're ignorant enough that they'll fight to the death to keep Rush on the air.

Building OpenCV4Android from trunk¶
The new android build is based on android-cmake project originally developed by Ethan Rublee.
You can find the latest version of his project at http://code.google.com/p/android-cmake/
- git client
- cmake tool http://www.cmake.org/
- Android NDK (revision r5 or newer) http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html
- OpenCV master: git://code.opencv.org/opencv.git. Github mirror: git://github.com/itseez/opencv.git. You can clone repo with the following command:
git clone git://code.opencv.org/opencv.git
Additional requirements for Java wrapper and Android samples¶
- JDK 6 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
- Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- "Android SDK Tools, revision 14" or newer is recommended
- "SDK platform Android 2.2, API 8" or newer package installed (for the Java API and tests)
- "SDK platform Android 3.0, API 11" or newer for the samples (they can run on Android 2.2 but require API 11 at compile time)
- Apache Ant 1.8.0 or newer http://ant.apache.org
- Python 2.6 or newer (but not 3.x) http://www.python.org/
Windows additional prerequisites¶
At the moment OpenCV cross compilation under
cygwin is not supported.
Android NDK r7 and newer already includes the make executable.
If you need to build OpenCV with older NDK, then you can get it from NDK or use one of alternative downloads. These two are tested to work for OpenCV:
- http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm
- http://code.google.com/p/mingw-and-ndk/ (see "make-3.7z" under the Downloads section)
OpenCV build¶
By default OpenCV and the most of Android samples are configured for modern
ARM-v7a architecture.
If you want to compile OpenCV for emulator or older device, or want to build with NEON support please read the Android targets section for instructions.
Linux (Ubuntu) and Mac OS (10.6.7)¶
Export full path to your copy of NDK
export ANDROID_NDK=~/android-ndk-r8e
Alternatively to build with standalone toolchain extracted from NDK you can export toolchain location
export ANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN=~/android-toolchain
If you have not declared any of these variables then build scripts will try to find NDK under the
/opt folder
(so if you have placed your NDK to
/opt/android-ndk-r8e/ then it will be detected automatically).
There is a
scripts folder in the
android folder for running cmake with the proper cache
variables set. It is recommended that you use this to setup a cmake build directory.
cd opencv/platforms sh ./scripts/cmake_android_arm.sh
You should now see a build directory, that is ready to be made
cd build_android_arm make -j8
That will build most of the OpenCV modules, except for those that don't make sense on android -
python wrapper etc..
Windows (native)¶Define the following environment variables:
ANDROID_NDK- full path to the Android NDK. This path should not have tailing slash;
- Add path to
maketools to
PATHenvironment variable.
Instead of modifying your environment you can create file
opencv\android\scripts\wincfg.cmd and put all settings into this file. OpenCV provides a template for this file named
opencv\android\scripts\wincmd.cfg.tmpl. Please note that settings from
wincfg.cmd takes precedence over global environment variables.
Then open Windows console (
cmd.exe) and go to
opencv\platforms folder. There is no ready script for Windows platform, you need to build OpenCV step by step:
cd opencv\platfroms\ mkdir build_android_arm cd build_android_arm cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=..\android\android.toolchain.cmake ..\.. make
When script finishes you will have OpenCV compiled.
First, make sure that paths to OpenCV sources, Android NDK and
make.exe do not contain spaces and other suspicious symbols.
make fails with message similar to
*** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.
Then you are probably using
cygwin tools instead of their native ports. Remove
cygwin from your
PATH, delete
build directory and rebuild.
Or if
make fails with Java related messages, then make sure your version of python is a Windows app instead of the
cygwin one, such as ActiveState Python v2.7.
Building console "Hello World" with OpenCV¶
This application is not usual Android application. This is a Unix console which may be used as a template for development. Console application is much more convenient for development, debugging and performance optimization stages. Then, if you are finished with your CV algorithm, you can switch to normal Android development with Java + NDK.
Prerequisites¶First of all you need an Android device with root privileges. The goal is to have ability to run console applications on Android device using
adb shell. Even
chmod is not available by default (for example on Nexus One). You have the following options:
- Use emulator
- Enable root access to your device. Use ''Google'':http://google.com to find instructions for your device.
- Use developer device, for example NVidia Tegra devkits have root access by default.
If the device allows you to do
chmod and run executables, then follow the instructions below.
Second, you need OpenCV compiled for your device. This sample is configured for emulator. It is different from default settings for OpenCV. Read Android ABIs to know how to build OpenCV for emulator.
Also you need some free space on sdcard to run the
HelloAndroid application - it will write small image to
/mnt/sdcard. Please note, that even with emulator you need a sdcard. You can create it with
AVD Manager from Android SDK.
Linux (Ubuntu) and Mac OS (10.6.7)¶
Export full path to your copy of NDK
export ANDROID_NDK=~/android-ndk-r8b
or path to standalone toolchain
export ANDROID_STANDALONE_TOOLCHAIN=~/android-toolchain
Run the following commands to build project
cd opencv/samples/android/hello-android sh ./cmake_android.sh cd ./build_armeabi make cd ..
Connect to your device with
adb tool from Android SDK and run the application
sh ./run.sh
If you can see
HelloAndroid.png in your current directory and
Hello Android! message in the console - you've arrived.
If you want to build this sample for
ARM-v7a device (with or without NEON support) you need to edit
cmake_android.sh script. Change
BUILD_DIR path and
ANDROID_ABI CMake parameter.
Set the same environment variables as needed for OpenCV build (variables set in
opencv\android\scripts\wincfg.cmd work as well).
If you are using
wincfg.cmd file then ensure that
ANDROID_ABI and
BUILD_DIR are set to correct values. Use the following values for emulator:
SET BUILD_DIR=build_armeabi SET ANDROID_ABI=armeabi
When all variables are set run the commands
cd opencv\samples\android\hello-android cmake_android.cmd
Connect to your device with
adb tool from Android SDK and run the script
If you can see
HelloAndroid.png in your current directory and "Hello Android!" message in console - you've arrived.
If you see error message similar to
ld: cannot find -lopencv_contrib
or (on Windows)
ld.exe: cannot find -lopencv_contrib240
It means that CMake failed to find OpenCV compiled for Android. Check that all paths are set to correct values, remove
build directory and try to rebuild the application.
Native camera support in OpenCV¶Native interface of Android camera is platform-dependent. So OpenCV isolates platform-dependent part of code into separate shared library and provides several prebuilt libraries for native camera:
These libraries are tested to work for Android 2.2.0, 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 3.0.1, 3.2.1, 4.0.0, 4.0.3, 4.1.1.
You should include these libraries into your .apk to get camera working. OpenCV will automatically load one of these libraries compatible with your Android OS version.
Use native camera in your Android project (Java)¶
See android samples for example of native camera application.
This one -
opencv/samples/android/tutorial-2-opencvcamera is a good point to start.
Use native camera in your NDK project (C++)¶
Tutorial is coming...
Use native camera in your cmake project (C++)¶
Include the
highgui.hpp header to you source
1#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
Create a new instance of
VideoCapture and start grabbing frames
1cv::VideoCapture capture(CV_CAP_ANDROID + 0);
2//cv::VideoCapture capture(CV_CAP_ANDROID + 1);//front camera for Android 2.3.3 or newer
4if( !capture.isOpened() )
5 return;
7capture.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 640);
8capture.set(CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 480);
10for(int i=0; i < 100; ++i)
12 cv::Mat frame;
14 capture >> frame;
15 if( !frame.empty() )
16 yourfunction::processFrame(frame);
Finally, add following lines to your cmake
if (COMMAND COPY_NATIVE_CAMERA_LIBS) COPY_NATIVE_CAMERA_LIBS(${PROJECT_NAME}) endif()
PROJECT_NAME variable contains name of module that uses native camera.
Warning: Native camera from OpenCV does not work inside console applications.
Advanced: build your camera wrapper¶
If prebuilt libraries don't work for you for whatever reason then you can build your own camera wrapper lib.
To build your lib you have to download sources for your version of Android and build entire OS first.
See http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html and ''google'' for instructions.
When you finish with Android OS run cmake for OpenCV (
scripts/cmake_android.sh will run it for you). You should see following line in its output
-- AndroidNativeCamera: use prebuilt libraries
Next, you need to set cmake cache variable
ANDROID_SOURCE_TREE to the path to Android OS source tree and rerun cmake. (You can set this variable with
cmake-gui application, or editing
build/CMakeCache.txt file with text editor, or passing it as cmake argument).
If path is set correctly then you should see line similar to following in cmake output
-- AndroidNativeCamera: build for Android 2.3.4
make command to compile the sources.
Most probably you will need to make changes in file
opencv/modules/androidcamera/camera_wrapper/camera_wrapper.cpp to fix compiler errors.
If you do some changes please post your patch to OpenCV issue tracker to help with OpenCV development.
Building wrapper library for Android 4.0.3:
cd openvc/android mkdir build_camera cd build_camera cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../android.toolchain.cmake -DANDROID_SOURCE_TREE=~/Android/4.0.3/src -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=14 -DANDROID_USE_STLPORT=ON ../../ make native_camera_r4.0.3
Advanced build options¶
Using OpenCV in your own CMake projects¶
Use the CMake find script for OpenCV
find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED)
Export path to OpenCV source tree
export OPENCV_ROOT=~/opencv
Then when you run cmake, use:
cmake -DOpenCV_DIR=$OPENCV_ROOT/android/build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$OPENCV_ROOT/android/android.toolchain.cmake ..
And direct your cmake cache for
OpenCV_DIR to the path where you built OpenCV for Android.
something like :
To avoid setting the cmake cache for
OpenCV_DIR, you can just "install" OpenCV to your
Android toolchain/NDK. Run the following from the
opencv/android/build path:

Bike Sharing Plans Edge Forward in Portland
Bike sharing systems can be expensive, so getting one off the ground may have to wait until the economy improves. Despite the challenges, Portland is hoping to get the policies and plans in places ahead of the eventual upturn in order to implement a system as soon as it's feasible.
"Portland transportation officials are eying about 100 high-tech bike-sharing systems worldwide to see if an investment in public bicycles could be successful in what's already considered a world-class bike city.
They hope that two demonstration projects scheduled here for August will give them a firsthand look at a few systems and help gauge public appetite."

One of the Hunnish warriors (full soon that happed) marked that the door was guarded.
It happed them, as doth among folk, the one to cast the mind to the other.
I thought haply thou wouldst be at some such saucy trick, and I made Alice promise to let me know when it happed.
"Yes," laughed Brian, and related what had happed at Bertragh.
Then came his warrior's, who had witnessed what there had happed upon the lookout.
By the way, I wonder what has happed to those heavenly twins?
And it happed so that Alisander had never grace nor fortune to come to King Arthur's court.
Then they fared home to the farm, and told the bonder what had happed.
They happed to have hit upon the same saloon that Wyck patronised.
So it happed there was a duke that hight Ansirus, and he was of the kin of Sir Launcelot.

Old Church Slavonic kobu "fate, foreboding, omen," Old Irish cob "victory"). Meaning "good fortune" is from early 13c.

- Is there anything in the anime that suggests the Kuriboh brothers are Nomi monsters? Because I can't find them. Danny Lilithborne 12:17, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
By looking at the Kuribe page I found "This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned from your hand or Deck by the effect of "Five Star Twilight", "Kuribabylon", or "Kuribandit".
And since there is no keyword "Except" in that card text, I wouldnt assume that they are NOT a Nomi monster. They just need to be special summoned via their effect, and then be brought back with Monster Reborn and the like. Yami Michael 07:05, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- What I meant is, is there anything in the anime that suggests that they are Nomi or Semi-Nomi (my mistake, I guess)? You don't really see the card text, so what suggests they can't be Normal Summoned? Danny Lilithborne 07:58, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Nah, my fault for not reading the question right, no worries. I am not sure what shows the kuriboh brothers as you call them being treated as semi-nomi effects on their page. Perhaps an editor to that page, or the episodes they were in may help? Assuming you havent already checked there, of course. Yami Michael 08:17, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Capcom vs. SNK Pro
Review by GundamMon
"A very, very poorly presented crossover..."
Capcom vs. SNK PRO - 5/10
For Sony Playstation
I'm a big fan of fighting games, especially the long-lived and critically acclaimed Street Fighter series. There have been exceptional SF games: Marvel vs. Capcom 2, X-Men vs. Street Fighter; and some titles that are not very worthy of holding the series name, like Capcom vs. SNK PRO.
The only SNK game I've played (or even seen) in the arcade was Samurai Shodown, so I wasn't familiar at all with 99% of the SNK characters, and yet I was familiar with all of the Capcom ones. There's a wide variety of characters to choose from, from the traditional Ryu and Ken to Morrigan from Darkstalkers. This game had much more potential, but it falls short of even non-Capcom fighters.
With all due respect, this is where the game really irks me. The controls are not very responsive at all, especially for a Street Fighter game. It's unbelievably difficult to do a Shoryuken, and the ''super moves'' are next to impossible to get to work. The motions can be performed, but the characters just don't respond. You'll try to do Shinku Hadouken super move(which is basically a super-fireball), but 19 times out of 20 you'll receive a standard Hadouken. This should not happen, and in the middle of combat, when you need a certain move to turn the tide, chances are you won't receive it.
The system is set so that you must have an amount of characters that add up to a 4. So you can have 4 Level-1 characters, or 1 Level-4 character. For example, both Ryu and Ken are considered level 2 characters, so they can be on a team, but no one else. This makes for interesting team-ups, but there's no option to switch characters in-match or do any kind of tag-team moves to combine their powers; if one character is defeated, the next round just switches to the next member of the team/ A lot of potential was wasted here. I also have to question Capcom's reasoning for assigning ''Levels.'' Characters like Akuma, a Level 4 fighter, don't reflect being considered ''mighty'' enough to stand alone. In fact, Akuma is plain worthless in Capcom vs. SNK PRO. There are some Level 1 characters like Joe, Benimaru, and King that are far too quick and strong for Level 1, and should be Level 2 to even the playing field.
This is another one of those Capcom games that will ''sense'' that it is losing. That means that most times, when your opponent is near-dead, he (or she) will somehow become a much better fighter. He/she will hide in a corner and play the blocking game until you leave yourself open from pounding away at your foe, and then almost always defeat you (even though you yourself have 3/4ths of your health left). Also, an oddity that seems to happen in this game is that the green energy bar for health will completely be drained, and yet your enemy will still be standing. If he/she has life left, then show it!
There are the two fighting Grooves: Capcom and SNK. Capcom is just getting energy levels for attacking/defending, and SNK requires you to manually charge your energy for super moves. The SNK Groove is too easy to abuse if your life bar is flashing, and you can repeatedly use your super move. The Capcom Groove has 3 levels of super attack, and you can choose to use 1-3 levels to power your attack; too bad the damage that is dealt doesn't adequately reflect the amount of energy used at all.
More of the same big-fighting-tournament nonsense. Some actual story would have helped this game; even a Story Mode would be of benefit to this relatively mindless fighting game. What we receive is some nonsense about Geese (who's returned for the umpteenth time) to see who's the best fighter in the world. The ''crossover'' factor is a complete waste, since those who haven't played either Capcom or SNK fighting games won't be able to tell the difference and why this crossover is a ''cool idea.'' Crossovers work when done right: the Marvel vs. Capcom series worked well, since Marvel was a well-known franchise in and of itself. With all due respect, a lot of people have never heard of SNK.
The graphics fare pretty well for a Playstation fighting game, but it's nothing that the good ol' PSX hasn't seen before. The fighting is the standard animated stuff that everyone's seen before, but some of the backgrounds really shine, like the burning tanker truck level. Most of the energy moves are blocky and choppy, and lack even the charm of earlier Street Fighter games. Some of the rest, which use ''people'' in the background, are very poor, and some are less animated than the 16-bit days. The character sprites look good, albeit slightly grainy. But for some reason, this game takes forever to load, and for no good reason, either; I sure don't see anything groundbreaking on the game screen. Other PSX fighting games: Tekken 2 & 3, Bloody Roar, while 3D, don't even take this long to load. This is the most glaring problem with Capcom Vs. SNK PRO.
Basic grunts/groans/attack names. Nothing superb here. Some of the tunes aren't all that bad; they just get lost in the fray and you will rarely(if ever) remember them afterwards. The announcer voice is very annoying, as is the custom for almost every fighting game I've ever played, but the round announcer sounds like a robot built out of duct tape and cardboard: crappy and grating. Some characters also have long dialogues before combat, but almost all in Japanese. Would it have killed Capcom to translate them?
In terms of secrets (hidden characters, stages, etc.) there exists a piddly amount. No hidden stages exist, and only two or three hidden characters that you must ''pay'' for with game points. After you accumulate a few thousand of these points, you can pretty much unlock everything worth unlocking. Most of the good characters you'd like to fight against you most likely never will, and instead get pretty much the same matches over and over again. I hear there are some hidden stages, and you find them depending on the amount of fighting points you obtain or how you finish your foe, but you'll most likely stumble upon them by accident.
The replayability suffers the most because of the end boss, Geese; a level-3 character you must defeat twice, effectively breaking the game. He has to be one of the most unassailable and cheapest fighting game characters I've ever come across. He'll block all of the time, has more than a few ''roll-thru'' moves (meaning that he'll spin through your attacks without harm), can cancel a physical attack of yours and throw you at the same time, and has one of the cheapest Super Moves ever, which is also unblockable since he'll only use it when you're in the air (and there is no air block). On several occasions, I've also seen him use his cheap air-fireball more than ten times...in a row! And even after all of that, he'll taunt and mock you with phrases like ''Predictable!'' or ''Too Easy!'' as he tosses you. Hey, if I was a character that broke the game just by my design alone, it'd be easy for me, too.
Basically, he's one of those computer-controlled characters that if the person beside you played that cheap, you'd probably beat the crap out of him when you were done playing.
Final Words:
All in all, not the most horrible fighting game I've ever played, but Capcom Vs. SNK PRO is short of anything resembling ''special.'' In fact, it's best suited for the ''sub-average'' class of fighting games. If not for the cheapness of some of the characters, the difficulty in pulling off certain moves, and the unforgivable load times, this game would easily receive a 8/10. There are worse fighting games out there than this game, Street Fighter or not, but there are certainly better ones, too.

A Chicago restaurant has cooked up a new promotional scheme involving what's left of the infamous foul ball that deflected off Cubs fan Steve Bartman during Game 6 of the National League Championship Series in 2003.
The Cubs lost a possible out and their cool from the play, subsequently giving up eight runs and the lead to the Florida Marlins as they blew a chance to reach the World Series for the first time since 1945.
A year ago, after buying the ball at auction for $113,824, Harry Caray's Restaurant had a Hollywood special-effects expert detonate it on live TV.
In the marketing sequel, Harry Caray's said Tuesday it intends to soak the ball's remnants in Budweiser and combine them with other ingredients into a "curse-ending sauce." The sauce will be poured over spaghetti and served to willing Cubs fans next week at its locations in Chicago and suburban Rosemont, Ill.
"At the urging of faithful Cubs fans, Harry Caray's will try once again to use the power of the ball to generate positive energy for the Cubs," said Grant DePorter, managing partner of Harry Caray's Restaurant group.
He said the stunt was inspired by two separate fan suggestions a year ago when the restaurant received 20,000 letters from people with ideas on how to destroy the ball.
The sauce will be served for four days ending Feb. 24 when the restaurant stages its annual worldwide toast to Caray, the longtime Cubs broadcaster who died Feb. 18, 1998.
Proceeds will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in honor of ex-Cubs great Ron Santo.

Jon Actually Wore a Hat At the Grand Ole Opry…Sort Of
Saturday night was great night at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. It was WKDQ Night for the sixth year at the historic Ryman Auditorium – the Opry's most famous home. We saw great performances by Ronnie Milsap, The Oak Ridge Boys and newcomer Canaan Smith. Somehow, I wound up with a pretty loud cowboy hat on my head courtesy of my buddy Too Slim of Riders in the Sky…it was an awkward moment. I was guest announcing on the stage and was warned that because it was my sixth year, Too Slim might try and shake me up a little. I wasn't quite sure what that meant, but I have seen him do that to the regular Opry announcers like Mike Terry and Eddie Stubbs.
First of all, it's the Opry and the last thing you want to do is mess up. I was right in the middle of reading a Cracker Barrel commercial when it happened. I did not see Slim walk up behind me, but I had a feeling something was amiss.
At this point I felt something go on my head, the crowd busted out laughing and I realized that Slim had put his large and loud cowboy hat on my head. He then made a comment to which I responded and picked up right where I left off in the commercial. Slim vowed to get me again and attempt to throw me off – good luck Slim, I'm on to you now.
If you listen to Leslie and I in the morning, you know I don't do hats…EVER! So Leslie, here you go, the one and only time you will see me in a hat and I'm sharing this with you because you were not there to see it. Let's not make a habit of this….PLEASE.

An Ashley Miltko goal midway through the first half proved to be the final goal of the day as the Wright State women's soccer team played to a 1-1 draw at Eastern Kentucky Sunday afternoon.
The Colonels opened the scoring at the 8:08 mark of the first half on a Kaylynn Brown goal before Miltko tied it at the 24:26 mark. The sophomore forward connected on a shot 25 yards out from the left side of the net that went over the goalkeeper head. It was the first goal of the season for Miltko while junior midfielder Sarah Gross posted her second assist.
It stayed that way for the rest of the match despite the Raiders outshooting EKU 9-4 in the second half and in overtime. Junior goalkeeper Brooke McCurdy tallied three saves for WSU.
Wright State (2-1-3) hosts IPFW Friday at 7:00.
