Sony PlayStation 3 EYE Camera running under Windows
As posted by AlexP on the forums of the Web site linked above:
As you may seen it before, here are the specs:
- 4 channel audio input:16 bits/channel, 48kHz, SNR 90db
- 56º or 75º Field of View zoom lens
- 2.1 F-stop, less than 1% distortion, fixed focus (25cm to 8 at 75º FOV)
- 640 x 480 at 60 frames/second
- 320 x 240 at 120 frames/second
- USB.0 high-speed data transfer
- Uncompressed video or optional JPEG compression
Downloads: PS3 Eye Driver / PS3 Eye Test [Fixed 320x240 frame (full sensor), Now capturing at 60fps.]
This makes the PS3Eye ideal for multitouch applications. The best part is the price $39.99!
Now, the main problem with this camera is that there are no drivers for Windows. The cameras chipset info is virtually non-existent on the Web.
After examining the camera internals I found that it features the OV534-LB50 camera USB 2.0 bridge and the OV7720 CMOS VGA sensor. Both of these are made by OmniVision.
I started thinking to my self: "This camera is awesome and it will be such a great and inexpensive replacement for Firefly MV and the like. If we could just get it to work under Windows..."
Initially, I started poking around with the USB trying to send some commands to the PS3Eye and see what happens...
After many long nights Im bringing you the result:
- Full VGA (640x480) 60fps video capture test app that features uncompressed high quality raw video
- Low CPU overhead (since there is no decompression involved on the PC)
- Very low latency (1 frame time period)
The camera currently streams video in YUYV format, therefore each frame is 640*480*2 bytes. At 30fps this amounts to about 17.5MB/s which is pretty low in comparison to the total USB 2.0 bandwidth. At 60fps the amount of data gets higher and it could be affected by other peripherals connected to the USB host controller. This is why it is recommended that the camera be the only device connected to the USB host controller.
Most of the CPU overhead that I currently have is the color conversion code that is implemented in straight C/C++ without any SIMD optimizations.
For real (MT) applications this code will go away, since we will be extracting raw grayscale image (every second byte of YUYV).
My driver exposes a camera as a device with direct access, thus eliminating the complexities and the overhead of DirectShow system. I will be working on custom PS3EYE capture filter for use in TouchLib.
I am currently running Vista and all the code is developed and tested under this particular OS.
Driver Installation:
- First run the Install.bat in Driver directory. You might need to reboot your machine after this step.
- Plug in the PS3Eye camera. Let the Windows detect the hub and two USB Camera-B3.04.06.1 devices.
- One of these is the audio and the other one is the camera itself. After a few seconds Windows will automatically detect and install one of the USB Camera-B3.04.06.1 devices. This will be the audio device. The one that is left is the camera.
- Windows will prompt you for a driver. Cancel out of that and go to the Device Manager, right click on USB Camera-B3.04.06.1 device and chose Update Driver Software.
- From there select Browse my computer for driver software and select the Driver directory. The PS3Eye Camera driver will be installed.
Now run the PS3EyeTest.exe program, and the captured video as well as the FPS counter will be displayed.
Go, try it for yourself...
Enjoy! More PlayStation 3 News...

Driver under Windows XP not working
Installed the driver successfully.
Device Manager has 2 drivers: WinDriver and PS3 Eye Camera under a Jungo category.
Running eyetest displays camera found and initializing camera but nothing is displayed. Tried replugging eye cam afterwards with same result.

start capture
Yes I tried the Start Capture button and the error said "unable to find device" or something similar. Using the eye in LBP right now so I don't have the "exact" error.
Also tried resolution and fps choices but same result.
09-30-2008 #5asandhu Guest
what can you use the eye for in LBP?
09-30-2008 #6cdragomir Guest
First of all, great work. We have tried also to do a driver and failed. Now is OK. For the moment is not recognized as a webcam as I see, at least Yahoo and Skype does not recognize it yet. Maybe I will need to restart my comp.
The capture software provided by you is perfect, work fine for the moment.
09-30-2008 #7wicked insanity Guest
Yes at the moment, the camera only works with the supplied program but the guy who made the driver is working on making it fully compatible.
This is old news and was posted at the beginning of September but I hadn't seen it around on the site. Hopefully soon he should be making an update for the drivers.
PS. you can take snapshots in LBP planet and use them as ingame stickers.
10-05-2008 #8zck113 Guest
I've got the PS3 cam to work, it took a while to get how. Also, is it possible to just wire it to a program, I.E. MSN? or does the guy have to make his program first, and if so, when will that be done?
10-12-2008 #9LordLoki666 Guest
I also tried this program and after a few tries it finally worked. It worked in the testprogram and also in LIVE messenger but not in skype BUT after I rebooted the cam doesn't work anymore. Anyone with the same problem or a tip to solve it?
10-21-2008 #10wicked insanity Guest
There have been many recent updates to this program that have improved compatability and functionality of the camera device.

The Beauty of Battle - Mirielle
A flash of light reveals a slim female figure, almost as black as the night. The last thing visible are three long braids of white hair. They flow in the air and paint a perfect arch into the blackness.
Thunder rolls. Thin twin blades reflect dim torchlight. Metal rings catch the lightning of the thunderstorm. One ring around each upper arm. One ring around each lower arm. One ring around the left thigh.
The torch gets knocked down. An inhuman scream. The fire dies out, but just before it does so, dark brown skin reflects the light warmly. Perfectly smooth. Perfectly soft. Muscles play gently. Darkness reclaims the night.
An enemy shield blazes with magical daylight for a moment. The man stands 5'8'' tall. The female is taller. Her graceful dark chocolate face is finely cut and full of agression. Her slim eyes sparkle in red, yellow and orange tones all over, no pupil is visible. Eyes like fiery sunstones. Thin white eyebrows. How old is she? Twenty?
She almost leaps into the shield of her opponent. Her blades pierce. The light flickers and dies slowly. She lands, the three long braids, held by slender golden clips slowly settle on her back. They reach almost to her knees.
Archers ready burning arrows. They whiz by. Some almost graze tender curves of the dancing form below. White, gold and red silky ribbons float through the air. They spring from golden clips attached to a leather belt dancing losely on her hips. They spring from the hilts of the tender swords. And she spins in between the deadly arrows.
Dark lips whisper words of trust. Rings and clips reveal inlays as the arrows race toward the woman. The theme is always the same. Weapons, movement, battle, war. A small crest keeps the perfectly white hair out of her face. On her forehead rests a fiery sunstone, smaller stones in red and yellow sparkle at the sides.
A wide jump carries her between the archers. There are more screams and bodies fall to the ground below. Oil, burning arrows. A fire breaks out. Her body is barely covered by a red and golden top made of metal chain and fitting chain-bikini-bottom, the links so fine that the armor almost seems like soft liquid hugging her soft form.
A fiery sunstone sits in the center of her chest above her rather small and firm breasts. Small chains with golden and yellow stones jingle and reflect the fire. They stroke over her upper belly and glide over the gently muscular structure. Longer delicate chains reach down her back almost to her bottom.
The top line of her agressively cut chain-bottoms is also beset with larger sunstone in the center and smaller chains dangle down the side, dancing as she moves.
She wears neither gauntlets, nor boots.
Every now and then she sounds a battlecry with a soft voice, not a powerful voice, not crytal clear, but soft and yet clearly audible over the sound of her metal blades piercing armor or flesh.
This is Mirelle. The Beauty of Battle, the Swordmaiden, the Deadly Dancer. As people call her.
Mirelle uses twin blades, slim and long, like rapiers, but sharp and pointy, as much a slashing weapon as a thrusting one. The hilts are beset with sunstones. From the hilts silky ribbons flutter. White and yellow and red and orange they show pictures of battle and follow every movement the blades describe, painting paths in the air. When Mirelle doesn't use her blades, they are attached to her back and wrapped in the silky ribbons.
Mirielle can likewise conjure a bow seemingly out of thin air, by simply taking a stance as if holding the bow and pulling the string. With a flash of light a golden, ornate bow will appear in her hands, slim and beset with several sunstones. The arrows it shoots flash and sparkle with divine energy.
At times Mirielle will appear in light clothing, too usually a tunic, slitted completely at both sides and only held by a slender golden chain beset with sunstones, and red and yellow gems. The white tunic carries no ornaments at all and contrasts strongly with Mirielle's dark skin.
As needs demand it, Mirielle will also rely on other mundane weapons.
When her powers as a goddes are not active, Mirielle prefers to wear casual clothing, usually in white and orange and leaving her belly exposed.
Mirielle knows how to use any weapon instinctively. She is superhumanly strong and dexterous and can recover from wounds struck to her, though the more severe a wound is, the longer it takes. She can also lend her powers to others, making those around her stronger or helping them to fight on.
Mirielle can conjure weapons, like her rapiers and her powerbow indeed these weapons are manifestations of her power.
Motivation and Background
Mirielle always searches for new followers and as thus is very open and sociable. She is also a very proud creature. Mirielle loves combat for the beauty of it. Violence dealing and withstanding fascinates her, but likewise does a honorful duel and displays of the art of combat even in athletic challenges.
Mirielle despises torture as well as one sided battles. Especially acts of terrorism without any real chance to fight back make her angry.
A long time ago, Mirielle was one of the great gods of the Era of Steel and Sorcery. Her amazons were well known, respected and feared. Warrior Witches would seek out challenges in her name and overthrow enemies and systems alike. The Inquisition arose and Mirielle saw it as a new opportunity, a new opponent to enter the ring and encouraged their Templars and Paladins to strike in her name, just as she encouraged the amazons and knights in the past. However, they grew too strong and corrupted. Mirielle found herself allied with evil powers bound on conquering the world and casting each and every life to the shackles of a false faith.
War arose. Gods and mortal creatures sided against the oppression. Mirielle didn't pick a side. Why should she? Both sides were fighting. And both sides in the end saw her as a traitor. She was cast out from her former allies. She found herself without any friends and was cast into Oblivion by the demon god of rage. Stripped of her powers she slept in the blackness for a long time. Until a new time of heroes arose. She heard the wakening call.
Nowadays Mirielle is largely uninterested in normal mortals, believing their achievements to be below her. Only really determinated warriors and individuals gifted with greater powers draw her interest and she spurs them to even greater deeds.

I don't know if I love this game or hate it. As a NFS game I hate it, but then as a racing game...I don't know.
I was abit meh when I started out. Half way up the most wanted list and enjoying it more but don't like all cars being available from the start and having to repeat races to unlock the same upgrades with other cars. I like a gradual progression system where you unlock a better car as you progress and customise/upgrade any car once you've unlocked the parts. Not surprising there's a trophy - win every race with every car.
I don't mind open world racers but would have liked the option to skip straight to a selected race, if you fail at your first attempt you can do this but should let you anyway.
On the other hand it looks great, runs really well and the sounds from some of the exotics are amazing.
I have a question regarding online play when you set up 'free ride' with a friend or even a public game. I can't use some cars online that I have offline. Like the Mustang Boss 302. Does anyone know why that is?
I am still trying to figure out why. There doesn't seem to be any reason why it shouldn't be.....it's not even part of the list of cars you get from the redeemable code.....I don't know....just weird.
Already completed 80% of the game. And as I said multiple times its getting very boring and repetetive.
how big is the map, like compared to GTA 4
Does anyone fancy adding me trying to get some of the trophies and a few friends to race with. No-one on my friends list has it. "GoodgreefSheepy" add away
Go for it mate: GazzaGSi is my PSN. My times are not that great neither, had plenty of crashes but still managed to win afew so there's plenty of seconds you can be shaving off to get some of the trophies like beat a friends recommendation and smashing my avatar on a bill board etc ;)
This game appears to not be worth the 60 dollars I was going to pay for it. Thanks all.
It's $29.99 at Amazon right now.
This game is Burnout. There is no reason for them to call it NFS. I beat the most wanted in 2 sittings, and again, online is just like BO. Waste of money, online challenges are crap because either half the people don't do them or they don't know how, and the other half just want to wreck you.
how do you unlock the veryron or pugyara in multiplayer?
Ah so it's not just the Mustang which is not available in multiplayer. I am trying to figure out why that is.......veryro or pugyara seem to have the same issue.....hmmmm
Veyron and Huayra. The ones you noted dont even exist.
New NFS Most Wanted 2012 DLC - The Ultimate Speed Pack
Releasing on the 18th of December.
Damn. I'm glad I held off buying the game. Tried the demo and felt like puking. It's like they don't even care anymore. Oh well, back to TDU2.
OMG!! 5 new cars that ain't worth shit!!! I'll stop buying EA games for good now.
Bringing an old thread back to life here but if anyone is still playing this game and needs to do the multiplayer trophies give me a shout or add request - my psn is the same as my name on here (just mention you're from PSU)
No one seems to find their way to my game if I set it to public - the Burnout match making system actually worked, I'm not so sure about this games set up though.
i hope there will be more dlc like burnout..anyone know?

On two different occasions on Saturday and Sunday, Pope John Paul insisted in the need for preserving Europe's Christian roots in the midst of current tendencies to ignore them.
On Saturday, the Pontiff welcomed 2,000 Slovaks, accompanied by Cardinals Jan Korec and Jozef Tomko and by the President of Slovakia Rudolf Schuster, on the feast of Cyril and Methodius, the Slav brothers and saints who are patrons of Slovakia and co-patrons of Europe.
"The witness of these two great apostles of the Slavs is a strong reminder to rediscover the roots of the European identity of your people, roots that you share with other nations on the continent," said the Pope.
"Slovakia and Europe of the Third Millennium," he underscored, "have become enriched by many cultural contributions but it would be deleterious to forget that Christianity contributed in a decisive manner to the formation of the continent."
On Sunday, during the recitation of the Angelus, Pope John Paul again highlighted the influence of Christianity throughout Europe's history.
"It would be impossible to think of European civilization without the work and legacy of St. Benedict, just as one cannot fail to mention the evangelizing and social work of the two brothers from Salonika," said the Pontiff, again speaking about Cyril and Methodius.
Speaking about the countries from Eastern Europe that will be included in the European Union in May, the Pope said that "these are nations that bear a specific cultural and spiritual richness: in them Christianity exercised an extraordinary cohesive force, with respect for their particular characteristics."
"The encounter between the Gospel and culture allowed Europe to become a 'laboratory' where, over the centuries, significant and lasting values have been consolidated. Let us pray that, in our days, the universal message of Christ, entrusted to the Church, will be the light of truth and a source of justice and peace for the peoples of the Continent and of the entire world," he concluded.

An interior wall façade constructed of two layers of sheet rock and plywood.
.223 Remington
Hornady has been offering their TAP (Tactical Application Police) defensive line for some time now and it has seen success in real-world encounters. Featured herein would be their 60-grain TAP load chambered in .223 Remington. When fired from my CMMG rifle, this loaded averaged 2,855 FPS (feet per second) over a Shooting Chrony F1 chronograph.
Benching the rifle, once I had the EOTech optic properly zeroed, I put some test patterns downrange. The resulting groups were predictably tight. A tight 1.17-inch three-shot cluster at 50 yards proved the carbine and ammo combination could be counted on.
For the 9mm pistol ammunition side, the new Winchester PDX1 brand was tested. This ammunition line is specifically marketed for personal protection. The load in question was a 147-grain bonded JHP. If this bullet looks familiar it is because the copper-colored projectile is the heart of Winchester's Ranger LE ammunition line.
Over my chronograph, this load averaged 1,140 FPS from the 16-inch barrel. Again, from 50 yards I fired several test groups on paper. The best group was right at 1.25 inches.
Entry holes: 9mm (upper left) and spectacular .223 wound cavity.
Real-World Test Conditions
This review is about much more than guns and ammo—it's about performance. I needed to construct some realistic test barriers and bullet-capturing devices. Up first would be an interior wall façade. This barrier was built using two layers of half-inch sheet rock and a single layer of quarter-inch plywood. This would represent a standard interior wall construction, minus 2×4 studs. An additional portion of the "wall" would include two 2×4 boards combined with the original sheet rock and plywood construction.
Capturing the fired bullets would be accomplished through the construction of a bullet trap of sorts. This contraption was more of a rectangular trough made of wood with an open top. Into the bullet box I place thick squares of waxy ballistic media.
First up was the 9mm carbine. After placing the wallboard material in front of the bullet trap, I took aim. From a distance of 7 yards, I fired a single round of the Winchester ammunition. The bullet passed completely through and entered the waxy media.
Step two was to fire the .223 cartridge from Hornady. Same scenario, shot through the wallboard into the wax media at 7 yards. On the front of the wallboard was an unimpressive .22 caliber hole. However, on the other side, the results were a bit more spectacular. The projectile did its job very well and expanded violently. A hole nearly three 3 inches across and as deep was left in the wax media.
Next on the agenda was to fire both carbines into the 2×4 and wallboard material. This would represent nearly 6 inches of common building material found inside normal interior walls. Both the 9mm and .223 Remington rounds passed completely through.
Taking a moment to closely examine the bullet box, I pried apart the layers of wax media and found that the .223 TAP round had penetrated just shy of 8 inches. At that depth I discovered several bullet fragments. The projectile had come apart completely.
Moving on, we found that the 9mm projectile had traveled a full 15 inches into the wax media after passing through the wall façade. It had not deformed and looked almost good enough to be reloaded.
One round of 9mm fired through a car door. Note the mild fragmentation.
We Report, You Decide
As for our initial conversation, was the 9mm carbine less likely to "over-penetrate" than the .223? Based upon our experiments, I believe we can see how this is not necessarily the case at all. Both rounds easily passed through the basic wallboard material and then through the thicker wall and double 2×4 target. What was most impressive was the fact that the .223 round deposited 100 percent of its energy into 8 inches of wax media. Consider that the torso on most human attackers will be anywhere from 10 to 15 inches, depending on the angle and human variables. It would seem that the purpose-designed .223 Remington load would be less likely to pass through an attacker and continue on through an interior wall than the 9mm fired from the same platform.
Before we completely discount the 9mm carbine, it does have some positive attributes. If you own a 9mm handgun commonality of ammunition is a plus. Also, 9mm FMJ training ammunition costs about half the price of .223 FMJ training ammunition. That's twice the trigger time for the price.
From a practical, household standpoint, both platforms provide ample accuracy and few felons would want to be shot with either gun. The bottom line is that a pistol cartridge, even when fired from a carbine, is still going to perform like a pistol cartridge. The carbine platform has the advantage of being easier to control, aim, and hit your target with. Carbines or rifles are more imposing than handguns.
When it comes to defending your life with a firearm, base your choices on fact, not supposition. Secure some professional training and practice. Keep shooting straight and shooting safe.

Installing Slack 12.2 on a Promise 20276
I am trying to install slackware onto the second partition of my striped RAID array that is being run by a Promise 20276 chip, and I have almost no idea how I would go about doing that.
I've tried loading ataraid.i as the kernel, but seemingly slackware does not possess this. I've also tried to find a linux version of the driver and load it manually before setup, but I have not been able to find the driver for linux. I've read online about someone having the sourcecode so they built it, which I could do since I have another slack machine, but after they rebooted after the installation there was a kernel panic saying that it couldn't access the root filesystem.
So now I'm here. Please help! :(

Ok, I've done some quick reading online about raid in linux... but I'm still not a lot closer to getting it figured out. I do however have a complete dmesg output, if it's any help.
From looking at it myself it looks like it's trying to load the individual disks... it's odd because it can read the 320GB western digital in cfdisk, even though it's striped, but it can't read either of the 120GB Maxtors because it either says that the partition ends after the end of the drive(hde, I think), or it says that it's in some way invalid (hdg, I think). Forgive me for not retaining all of the details, I'm posting from the same pc in windows.
Erm... I would post it with code tags but the Unix end of line thing makes it atrocious looking in notepad. 'Tis attached.
*sigh* Apparently it's fake raid. -_- Now the problem is that I have to get it working without breaking the windows installation. I am NOT going to start over and go without raid, however fake it may be. It took over a day to get everything working in XP... Is there any way to do it without building an ataraid.i kernel for slackware and sticking that on the disk then burning it again and installing from there? 'Cause while I think I know what I'd have to do I'm not sure, and don't know how to build it for ataraid.i, especially when I don't have a functioning version of linux on here. I did find this site though: http://www.magic-lamp.org/howto/pdc2...drake8.2.phtml
Here's what I found:

So it looks like the module you want to load is: 'pata_pdc202xx_old'. You should be able to use a grub kernel parameter: 'install pata_pdc202xx_old', or wait until it boots, and grab a free terminal, and 'modprobe pata_pdc202xx_old', or you can email Alan Cox, and ask him how to handle this module.
If you load it on installation, the system should install it automatically after that.
Hmm... it's a bit newer than what that says it supports, but it's certainly worth a try. Thanks a ton, I'll see what I can do with that.
EDIT: Erm... I can't seem to modprobe it after it's booted the cd with the default settings, so it make me wonder if the slackware disk actually has it. If that were the case, where would I find it?
About a grub kernel parameter, I'm not sure that slackware uses grub... But then again I'm a relative newb so I'll go try it as soon as I have it written down. Had to come back to see it since I can't read text files until after I boot. >.>
There is also a module called pata_pdc2027x. You might also try that one.
Aah, yeah that might work better. I'm having a problem loading it though... I don't think slackware has it; it says the file is not found when I try to use modprobe, and I'm not sure if I'm trying to load it in the boot parameters correctly. I used "hugesmp.s install pata_pdc202xx_old" and nothing happened. I'll try it with the file extension as well... but I'm not even sure if that's correct.
If the module isn't on the slackware DVD, where could I obtain it?
EDIT: Also according to hardware4linux.info the Promise_IDE module specifically supports my chip, the "Promise Technology / MBFastTrak133 Lite (tm) Controller." It's shown as the only module that supports it as well. So how do I use the darn modules?!
There's also this.
EDIT x2: Ok, I found pata_pdc2027x in the kernel modules tar file on the dvd, so where do I go from there? And what about "Promise_IDE"?
I've gone so far as to extract the modules in windows and put them on a floppy so I can load them without extracting into the ramdrive. But I still don't know how to run cfdisk, or even confirm if ther are working.
I've still had no luck... what's the device name for the pata_pdc2027x driver?
According to dmesg, it seems to have loaded pdc202xx_new, which seems to be an IDE driver rather than a raid bus driver. =( How does this affect things?
Edit: It seems that this IS Promise_IDE that Hardware4Linux.info was referring to... so how to I set it up?

Huangshan | Hangzhou
#D2 Huang Shan | #D3 Hongcun village | #D4 Qiandao Lake | #D5 Lingyin Temple & Feilai Peak | West Lake Cruise
Huang shan (Yellow Mountain, 黄山)
The craggy rock faces, hanging mists and clustered pines of Huang Shan create a lovely and distinctly Chinese landscape, one instantly recognizable from countless images on silk, paper and porcelain. The mountain range, consisting of some 70 peaks over 1,000 m (3,300 ft), spills across the southern province of Anhui in an exquisite jumble of scenic highlights—twisted lone pines clinging to stony spires, seas of clouds filling rugged valleys, and crystalline mountain spring-fed pools.
Tunxi Old Street (屯溪老街)
Located in Túnxī (屯溪), the central district of Huangshan City, Tunxi Old Street is a stone pedestrian street lined with old shops and restaurants in restored buildings, some originally dating back to the Song Dynasty, done in the traditional style of the region's Huizhou culture.
Hongcun village (宏村)
A charming traditional Huizhou village, Hongcun is best known as the film site of the Oscar-winning film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. You'll be able to bike around the village with your guide (additional fee applies) and also visit a local family where you'll have the chance to gain a better understanding of the life and traditions of the local people.
Qiandao Lake (千島湖)
A visit to Qiandao Lake quickly reveals the source of the name. Literally translated, it means "Thousand Island Lake" and indeed, at last count the 573 sq km (221 sq mi) body of water is home to 1,078 large islands and thousands more smaller ones. It is a unique landscape that was intentionally flooded to create the massive and impressive island-filled body of water from which celebrated Chinese brand Nongfu Spring sources its water. Each island, from Snake Island, Monkey Island, to Bird Island, is home to a brand new sight for you to explore thanks to this dramatic transformation.
West Lake (西湖)
A UNESCO World Heritage site since 2011, Hangzhou's premier tourist attraction, West Lake and its surrounding gardens, hills, rockeries, temples, pagodas and parks have for centuries inspired poets, officials and tourists with their beauty. This beauty pulls an estimated 12 million domestic tourists and half a million foreign tourists annually making it—and, consequentially, Hangzhou—one of China's most tourist-heavy locales.
Its placid waters and lush tree-lined shores, praised by emperors and poets alike, have been the setting of many famous events in Chinese literature and history. Board a vessel and cruise across the lake to view famous sights like Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, the Bai and Su Causeways and Solitary Hill. Flower Harbor Park, located next to Su Causeway, houses many of Hangzhou's most well known attractions, including Red Carp Pond and Peony Garden.
Lingyin Temple (灵隐寺)
The Lingyin Temple, which literally means "where the divine rest in seclusion," has long been considered one of the ten most famous Buddhist temples in China. Originally founded in AD 326, Lingyin Temple has been rebuilt no less than 16 times. Listen as your guide discusses its pagodas and pavilions and introduces you to some of the 470 stone carvings of Buddhist figures on Feilai Peak, which date back to the 10th to 14th centuries.
Feilai Peak (飞来峰)
The Feilai Peak, 209 m (686 ft) tall, is a limestone mountain which is distinct from the sandstone peaks around it. Famous for its Buddhist grottoes and caves, the mountain also offers wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Large stones scattered along the peak are said to resemble animals like a flying dragon, a running elephant, a crouching tiger, and a fleeing monkey.
Longjing tea plantation (龙井问茶)
The Longjing tea plantation is home to dragon well tea (longjing cha) one of China's most famous types of tea. Located in Meijiawu, the plantation is a legendary Hangzhou attraction where you can tour the grounds, learn about the complexities of tea and experience a traditional tea ceremony.

ScienceCinema -- Multimedia and Visualization Innovations for Science
by Brian Hitson 08 Feb, 2011 in Technology
ScienceCinema, OSTI's new multimedia search tool, was launched yesterday as part of a one-day workshop, "Multimedia and Visualization Innovations for Science," jointly hosted by Microsoft and the International Council for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI), held in Redmond, Washington. At the workshop, Lorrie Johnson, OSTI's ScienceCinema product manager, and Behrooz Chitsaz of Microsoft Research, held a session on ScienceCinema and the role of mulitmedia in the current science discovery environment. They correctly pointed out that although internet search tools are adequate for searching web pages and textual documents, the same is not true for multimedia content. So in order to provide better access to scientific and technical multimedia, OSTI has partnered with Microsoft Research to leverage speech recognition technology to enable searching across large volumes of spoken Department of Energy content, i.e., ScienceCinema. We hope you will try ScienceCinema and let us know what you think. You can read more about the technology at the OSTI press release and at the Energy Blog.

You are one of the Authorized users, that means you are able to make Charges agaist the Credit Card, which in turn if the Card Holder defaults on making the payments to the Credit Cards and they Will come after you next.
If you are a Authorized users IT WILL SHOW UP ON YOUR Credit Report,
You can't have your cake and eat it to? Like be a authorized user and not be responsible charges.
If you don't like the HIGH Outstanding Debt on the card then you better get your name off the card and QUICK!
23 People Helped
Actually, an authorized user is not liable for the debt if the cardholder defaults (except in cases of common property state laws if married, or if they are a joint holder vs authorized user, or in very rare cases, where it's specified in user agreement.)
Most reputable companies state clearly authorized user is not liable, the cardholder is liable for charges incurred by user, not vice versa, but know what you're agreeing to. If you don't want both positive and negative aspects of cardholders info on your credit, then have yourself removed as a user. Usually the history will delete off your reports, if it doesn't, you can dispute to have it removed and they will do so relatively quick.
And think twice in future if you don't want the good with the bad.

British test pilot marks milestone in the Joint Combat Aircraft
Navy News Service
Story Number: NNS120222-13
By Victor Chen, F-35 Integrated Test Force Public Affairs
PATUXENT RIVER, Md. (NNS) -- A royal Air Force (RAF) squadron leader became the United Kingdom's first military test pilot to fly the F-35C, the carrier variant of the Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft, Feb. 21.
As an international program, the F-35 has eight cooperative partners working with the United States; the United Kingdom was the first country to join the program in January 2001. The UK is planning to purchase the carrier variant to enter service as the joint combat aircraft (JCA).
"The F-35 has the best handling of any jet I've flown, which means it's going to be easier to land on a ship than current aircraft. And pilots can devote all of their attention to the mission," said Jim Schofield, RAF squadron leader.
"Combined with the world's best sensors which allow the pilot to find and target anything that's out there, and a stealthy signature, which means the enemy can't do the same to you, this is exactly the aircraft the UK needs to provide the best protection for our soldiers, sailors and airmen for the next 35 years," he further explained.
Schofield's flight is the latest in a series of milestones for the UK's JCA program, which included the first F-35C launch on the test electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) Nov. 18, 2011, and the rollout of the first UK F-35 from the production line four days later. EMALS is the current launching system of record for the future HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier, currently under construction.
"This is another major step forward for the UK's Joint Combat Aircraft programme," said Group Capt. Harv Smyth, the UK's JSF national deputy. "Squadron Leader Schofield is now test-flying both the [short takeoff and vertical landing] and carrier variants of the F-35, which affords the UK unprecedented early learning regarding this 5th-generation air system. This is a very exciting period for JCA, as not only are we now testing both the B and the C variants, but we look forward to taking delivery of our first production F-35 aircraft later this year."
According to the RAF's website, the F-35 employed as the JCA in UK forces will offer many advantages over legacy platforms: low observability, supersonic flight, improved survivability, internal and external weapons carriage, increased range and easier supply and maintenance.
The F-35C carrier variant of JSF is distinct from the F-35A and F-35B variants, with its larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear to withstand catapult launches and deck landing impacts associated with the demanding aircraft carrier environment. The F-35C is undergoing test and evaluation at Naval Air Station Patuxent River prior to delivery to the fleet and international partners.

Scholar: Jourdan Douglas
Major: Elementary Education
Faculty Mentors: Dr. George "Gus" Hill
Research Topic: The Authority of School Officials to Protect Students From Cyber-Bullying: Inconsistencies Among Constitutional Interpretation, Public Policy, and Case Law
Abstract: School officials have strict and clear obligations to protect students from harm in their education. An evolving harm is bullying. The threat of this harm is exacerbated by the increase in the use of technology. School officials are faced with cyber bullying as students are being encouraged to use digital media, technology, and the internet in their education. The purpose of this research is to conduct an investigation of scholarly research articles and data around the proposed questions: 1) How do Constitutional challenges influence school policy in regulating cyber-bullying and how can school officials apply policies to solve the problem of cyber-bullying without contributing to more problems? 2) Are there current national educational technology policy initiatives or state statutes that address cyber-bullying? Do these policy initiatives offer state and local education institutions with clear guidelines and models to implement policy in daily school actions? 3) To what extent does cyber-bullying case law confuse the authority of school officials to regulate cyber-bullying in schools? There is a clear and pressing need to have ethical and legal policy in schools to combat cyber bullying regardless of the lack of specifics in national educational technology policy initiatives and cyber-bullying case law. This research will help the consideration and development of ethical standards and codes of conduct in our schools in protecting students' rights to free speech and a safe learning environment.

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence filed a lawsuit today against the Mississippi gun shop that sold the gun used to killed Chicago police officer Thomas E. Wortham IV in 2010.
Wortham, who was also an Iraq War veteran, was shot to death in front of his parents' Chatham home by gang members attempting to steal his motorcycle. His father, a retired police officer, returned fire, fatally wounding one of the gangbangers. The gun used in the murder, a .45 caliber pistol, was purchased at Ed's Pawn Shop and Salvage Yard in Byhalia, Miss., by Michael Elliott, who sold it for $100 to Quawi Gates, who is currently serving a 10-year sentence for a Mississippi-to-Chicago gunrunning operation that depended on straw purchases. Elliott and Gates were also named in the lawsuit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi on behalf of Wortham's family.
Here's an excerpt from the Brady Campaign's press release:
The complaint alleges that the weapon used to kill Wortham was illegally purchased by Defendant Michael Elliot at Defendant Ed's Pawn Shop and Salvage Yard ("Ed's Pawn Shop"), owned and managed by Defendant Bruce E. Archer. The complaint includes eight counts against the defendants, including negligence and negligent entrustment by Defendant Ed's Pawn Shop in the sale of handguns.
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives ("ATF") routinely traces the history and movement of guns used in crimes like the murder of Thomas Wortham IV, identifying the manufacturer, distributor, and ultimately the dealer that sold the weapon in question. ATF data show that just over 1% percent of the nation's licensed gun dealers supply 57% of the guns used in crimes ("crime guns"). Government data also show that the vast majority of dealers sell zero crime guns each year. These findings demonstrate that there is a small but active group of corrupt or negligent dealers who supply the criminal market with the firearms that are used to commit violent crimes in cities and towns across the country every day. Firearms dealers remain one of the most important channels for diverting firearms from the legal market to the illegal market.
The Brady Campaign is named for former former presidential press secretary Jim Brady, the Illinois native who was wounded in the assassination attempt against President Ronald Reagan.

The current season of CBS' "The Amazing Race" has almost come to an end, as the last three teams vie for the trophy in the season finale titled "The Only First That Matters." The race will take place from Shenzhen in China to Santa Barbara in California in the U.S.
CLICK HERE to watch which of the teams wins Season 28 of "The Amazing Race."
According to the synopsis of the episode by TV.com: "The final three teams race from Shenzhen, China, to Santa Barbara, California, for the final leg of the race, where they must jump off a building more than 150 feet high and perform the harrowing task of synchronised mountaineering."
In the previous episode titled "That's Money, Honey," the final four teams raced for a spot in the finale and a high-stakes foot race marked the end of one more team's journey.
Among the four teams, Tyler and Korey were the favourites in the previous episode as neither Dana nor Matt had won even a single leg of the race since the start of Season 28. Similarly, Burney and Ashley and Sheri and Cole hadn't won any of the legs in the previous episodes either.
Dana and Tyler got a quick lead as their compatibility was undoubtedly best among the rest of the teams. They solved four of the landmark clues but struggled a bit with the Colosseum and Taj Mahal ones.
Burnster was upset with Dana and Tyler's success. According to Entertainment Weekly, while journeying past some Egyptian pyramids, he muttered: "Good, a couple of jackasses working together."

Prevent Sunburn
Sunburn is an acute cutaneous inflammatory reaction that follows excessive exposure of the skin to ultraviolet radiation, primarily UVB. How to prevent sunburn depends on both your skin type (which determines your likelihood to burn or tan) and the amount of UVB exposure you receive.
Skin types range from Type I to Type VI in a classification developed by Fitzpatrick and Pathak in 1975. You can identify your skin type in the table below based on whether you burn and/or tan after an hour in the midday sun at the start of summer. Once you know your skin type, the table then shows how many minutes before your skin will redden (without protection) when the UV Index is 6 or 8 or 10.
|Skin Type
|What is Your Reaction to One Hour in Midday Sun at Start of Summer?
|Typical Characteristics
|Time to Redden when UV Index 6 or 8 or 10
|Always burn, no tan
|Pale white skin, blue/hazel eyes, blond/red hair
|28 21 17 minutes
|Usually burn, minimal tan
|Fair skin, blue/green/hazel eyes, blond/red/brown hair
|33 25 20 minutes
|Mild burn, moderate tan
|Average caucasian skin
|44 33 27 minutes
|No burn, good tan
|Light brown skin
|58 44 35 minutes
|Never burn, tan
|Brown skin
|89 67 53 minutes
|Never burn, always tan
|Black skin
|167 125 99 minutes
While sunscreen is commonly used for sun protection, most people don't use the right thickness of sunscreen or reapply it often enough. This means the effective level of protection from sunscreen is typically only ¼ to ½ the SPF rating - leading to sunburn in ¼ to ½ the expected time! A better approach to sun protection is a combination of sun protection clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen and shade.
Coolibar Sun Protection Clothing Helps Prevent SunburnCoolibar stands for the best in sun protection. It's all we do. We offer quality products that block UV and help prevent sunburn. Our products include sun protection clothing for women and men, sun hats, sun protective swimwear, shade structures, sunglasses and multispectrum sunscreens and sunblocks.

I was going to Florida of all places and was very concerned about keeping the sun off my face yet not spoiling the trip for everyone by hiding from the sun. With the proper products from Coolibar - sunscreen, an umbrella and a sun hat - I sat on the beach all day and did not get one bit of sunburn on my face!" Nancy from Georgia.
- "Excellent merchandise, excellent service! I wore sun protection clothing for a hiking trip in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico in the heat of summer. I was cool and so comfortable and absolutely no sunburn. Highly recommended." - Brooke from New Mexico
- "The quality of these products are very good...I have 5 kids.....now I don't have to see my kids get sunburned when they come home from the pool. Thanks!" Tami from Wisconsin
- "The quality of the Coolibar product far exceeded anything I had seen on the market! In fact, my children returned from our trip to Hawaii with no sunburn or rash. Thanks for making such an attractive high quality product. I'll be ordering for myself next." Maija from Arizona

text: Sound is very loud and clear with full fat bassline at the bottom.Works great with my iPod nano. I love the volume controller on the cord: usually I listen at volume ~80%. A cool feature-- the volume controller does not cut volume off completely, leaving about 5-10%: you never forget to turn your iPod off.I wear them dayly, all the time-- fit is tight and never falls off-- you can run, jump, skate... do everything with them on. The feel of headphones is nice and skin-like, they look cool + are quite small in size.What sucks most about these headphones is the double cord-- one for each side. Now after 2-3 months of dayly use there sometimes seems to be a problem-- volume cuts down about 50% for one or both sides. Will see what it's about.I recomend AKG K416P for street junglists alike.

State Librarian Linda Lord Calls the Moose Morning Show [Audio]
We asked a Moose Morning Show Mindbender question this morning, "according to a survey, 80% of adults haven't done this in ten years." The answer, sadly, go to the library.
Linda Lord of the Maine State Library (at the State Museum in Augusta) took the initiative to call us and tell us about the upgrades. I'm glad she did because it's very impressive!! You can go directly to the library and it's resources by clicking here. Also, check out Augusta's Lithgow Library!

Bretagne UGV (High Speed Machining) is a scientific cooperation contract which has two aims:
The first one is to revitalise the production and the machining network, and the second one is to reinforce and develop the already existing synergies between research and industry.
The B-UGV site, which is located inside the walls of the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan Brittany branch, proposes a common grounding centre of research and development to companies in the area.
Further education courses in new technology are another priority for B-UGV. This service is available to employees of small companies who wish to further their knowledge either through traditional vocational courses or through practical high tech onsite training.

A new drilling technology is opening up vast fields of previously out-of-reach oil in the western United States. This new drilling is expected to raise U.S. production by at least 20 percent over the next five years. And within 10 years, it could help reduce oil imports by more than half.

Wheat pushes to new high
It was another active week for the wheat complex, which saw strong buying early in the week that took prices to a new 5-month high, only to be followed by a spike high and a quick retracement to near the recent breakout support.
The wheat complex has seen a great deal of influence from the outside markets, with the fluctuating dollar and steadily higher stock market. We've also seen spillover support from a stronger energy market, which supports the corn and soybean complexes.
The fund involvement has been huge in the last couple of months. Cheap money and the weak dollar have pushed vast sums of money into the commodity space, and the fund managers are looking for markets that haven't rallied much compared to markets like gold, which is at an all-time high, or energies which have already staged large rallies themselves.
That thinking quickly takes them to the grain complex, and in particular, the wheat market. The funds' perception that the wheat market is undervalued is not quite understood by the fundamental traders, and that conflict is creating plenty of confusion as to why and how wheat can rally in light of its numerous negative factors.
The technical picture continues to suggest that there is more upside to the market. We seem to be in a minor consolidation phase for a few days, but if we're going to see a leg up similar to the October rally, then we've got more to go; the target for Kansas City March is still the 6.25-6.30 level.
For some fundamental news, we see once again that Egypt bought another 175,000 MT. They split the sale between Russia, France and Germany. As has been the case lately, even the lowest US offer was well above other offers; this time about $.36/bu higher. Even with the dollar on its nose, we can't seem to keep up with the competition that has plenty of wheat to sell and really doesn't have to discount since our prices are so much above theirs.
Indeed, world prices have begun to creep higher over the last week as Russian prices were $5/ton higher in response to the Egyptian purchase. European prices also were higher, following the lead of Russia and being drug higher by the rise in US prices.
Australia is trying to move through their harvest, and production estimates continue to be ratcheted downward. Rain delays have slowed the progress in the key state of Western Australia, and quality concerns have been raised, but it's too soon to tell at this point if it will become a major issue. The latest round of production estimates hover around the 21-22 MMT, down about 1 MMT from just a couple of weeks ago. At this point, they are still expected to be a formidable competitor, and it's just a matter of time before their crop is ready to go.

Patsy Cline Has Her Last Recording Session [VIDEO]
Patsy Cline set the standard for the modern female country singer. She along with Brenda Lee and Skeeter Davis created the country-pop crossover sound in the early 60's. But probably because of her early death, Cline has garnered a more legendary status than the others.

That means that every Dugast tire seen here at Portland was bought and paid for by racers and teams. At $120 a pop. Yes, they are that good. A studded version seen tested by Nys on an ice skating rink for last year's World Champs was promptly banned by the UCI.

I know, I know... hey. it's ongoing, kind of like the cascading flu.
The final piece to have done for the Art Direction "Event" is a creator's choice project that should promote the 2-booklet, poster & box cover entries.
While most of the graphic design students have opted for some kind of static display of some type or perhaps a constructed paper model, I have opted to put my lesson in "lighting" on a digital photo frame, with supporting graphics and text. Yes, I could have added music, but that gets rather monotonous after you have heard it play the first thousand times, right?
Anyway, barring the beat, the short, automated image presentation is more of a "teaser" for the booklets, not something I am offering on video. I suppose you could almost see it as a PowerPoint presentation without... well, PowerPoint! Just a series of JPGs, timed to be able to be comfortably read and images examined. It is stored in the digital memory of the frame, so that no one can abscond with the normal plug-in 2GB CF card, during the show.
I call it:
This should free me up to take images of the overall show and not have to answer a bunch of hokey questions about what I built. Yes, business cards will be available.
Sadly, after all the work we went to, to have a common class file format to provide to the printer we have chosen, it turns out that it is not so common and we have to repeat the booklet/cover box submission-effort all over again, to straighten it all out, tomorrow. My God, another wasted day! I swear, for all the rush-rush we have been going through, all we are getting is trash-trash. It has been some strange times, indeed... and not leaving me with a very positive feeling about designer-print shop relations.
Onward we go... one step forward and then, two steps back.
EDIT: So. today's corrective printing action wound up being a one-on-one sit down with every student, to use the exact same procedure for producing each project container insert and cover. Again, a minor hiccup in the procedure, but there should be more attention paid to this as these type of classes continue. A lot of wasted time.
My picture frame exhibit was accepted as complete and seems... (oops, they are digging up my front yard, again. We've sprung a leak! Water! Water! From the bottom UP, this time!)

Chip maker Xilinx Inc. said Wednesday it is cutting up to 200 jobs, or about 6 percent of its work force, to save money.
San Jose, Calif.-based Xilinx said the cuts will mean a pretax charge of about $11 million to $13 million in fiscal first quarter ending in June.
The company added it will also reduce executive salaries, and it plans other short-term cost-cutting measures, including a broad salary freeze for remaining workers.
Xilinx expects to save about $4 million to $5 million per quarter as a result, beginning with the first quarter.
Over the longer term, the company said it plans additional cost-saving measures to make its supply chain more efficient, which will lead to restructuring charges of about $10 million over the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters.
Xilinx plans to report its fourth-quarter results on April 22.
Shares climbed 15 cents to $20.74 in after-hours trading. The stock closed down 12 cents at $20.59 in the regular session.
