Description It will be appreciated that the present invention can take many forms and embodiments. Some embodiments of the invention are described so as to give an understanding of the invention. The embodiments herein described are intended to illustrate, and not to limit, the invention. Referring now to the drawings and particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is illustrated a portion of a belting 10 in accordance with the present invention. Belting 10 preferably includes a plurality of synthetic fabric plies interposed between rubber skims. In a particularly preferred embodiment, belt 10 includes three synthetic fabric plies, a center ply 12 of a first synthetic fabric, and outer plies 14, 16 of a second synthetic fabric. The synthetic fabric of outer plies 14, 16 has an elongation modulus and a flex fatigue life which are respectively greater than the elongation modulus and the flex fatigue life of the fabric of center ply 12. Rubber skims 20, 22 are interposed between each other fabric ply 14, 16 and the center fabric ply 12. The skims thus maintain a spaced relation between each outer fabric ply 14 and 16 and center ply 12. Rubber covers 18, 24 are bonded to the exterior of each outer fabric ply 14, 16. Rubber covers 18, 24 provide abrasion-resistant surfaces for the belt during the baling operation. Rubber skims 20, 22 and rubber covers 18, 24 are preferably identical members. It is particularly preferred that the thickness of skims 20, 22 and covers 18, 24 all be generally equal. Center fabric ply 12 is preferably a polyester fabric, and most preferably is a fabric woven of Dacron*. In a particularly preferred embodiment, center fabric ply 12 will include two-ply filament polyester yarns in the warp direction, each ply of such warp yarns having a denier of 1,000, the warp yarns thus having a total denier of 2,000. Center fabric ply 12 will include four-ply filament polyester yarns in the fill direction, each ply of such fill yarns also having a denier of 1,000, the fill yarns thus having a total denier of 4,000. A one inch strip of this fabric will preferably have a minimum tensile strength in the warp direction of approximately 1,100 pounds and a minimum tensile strength in the fill direction of approximately 700 pounds. This fabric should have an elongation modulus in the warp direction of 20% to 40% at a load of 550 pounds and an elongation modulus in the fill direction of 20% to 40% at a load of 350 pounds. Referring now also to FIG. 4, therein is shown an enlarged view of the fabric which is used in outer fabric plies 14, 16. Outer fabric plies 14, 16 include warp yarns 26 of a material which provides good flex fatigue characteristics. These warp yarns are preferably polyamide yarns and most preferably are Nylon** yarns. In a particularly preferred embodiment, these warp yarns are two-ply filament polyester yarns, each ply having a denier of 840, the total yarn having a denier of 1,680. The yarns in the fill direction 28 of at least one, and preferably of both, outer fabric plies 14 and 16, are yarns which exhibit relatively high stiffness. These fill yarns 28 are preferably extruded monofilament yarns. Most preferably, fill yarns 28 are extruded polyester monofilament yarns such as monofilament Dacron, however, extruded monofilament polyamide yarns, such as extruded monofilament Nylon may also be utilized. Also in the particularly preferred embodiment, where fill yarns 28 are extruded monofilament Dacron, Fill yarns 28 will have a denier of 600. A fabric of this particularly preferred type will have a tensile strength in the warp direction of approximately 816 pounds and a tensile strength in the fill direction of approximately 247 pounds. The fabric will have an elongation modulus in the warp direction of approximately 51.4% and an elongation modulus in the fill direction of approximately 50%. Both center fabric ply 12 and outer fabric plies 14, 16 will be provided with a suitable finish to accept rubber. The above-described components of belt 10 may be bonded together through conventional techniques. In one such technique, the fabric plies 12, 14 and 16 and rubber skims 20, 22 and rubber covers 18, 24 are primed with an appropriate priming agent such as Resorcinol Formaldehyde Latex (RFL). The belting is then "plied up", whereby rubber skims 20, 22 and rubber covers 18, 24 are placed in the relationship depicted in FIG. 1. The belting is then vulcanized. The RFL causes a chemical bonding between the fabrics and rubber skims during vulcanization. The belting material may then be cut to lengths and widths as desired. Referring now to FIGS. 3a and 3b of the drawings, there is shown a "clipper splice" at the ends of the belt. A clipper splice is one known mechanism for splicing together the ends of a length of belting to form a continuous loop. With a clipper splice, a plurality of metal eyelets or hooks 30 are connected in each end of the belting. A rod or cable 32, or other suitable retaining member, is passed through the eyelets 30 to join the ends. The ends of rod 32 are suitably formed to prevent removal of the rod and to maintain the integrity of the splice. The clipper splice is typically the "weak link" in a baler belt. Cracks occurring in the belting during use can cause the metal eyelets to work free and the splice to fail. Additionally, the corners of the belt ends provide surfaces which may catch or pull as the ends pass the belt guides. Referring now to FIGS. 5 and 6 of the drawings, therein is shown in FIG. 5 a plurality of belts 10 passing by belt guides 34 and around an idler roller 38. FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along the line 6--6' in FIG. 5. The illustrated arrangement is of the type, or similar to the type, typically found on hay balers. Belt guides 34 are utilized to maintain the correct positioning and orientation of the belts as they pass through the baler. Guides 34 may be of different constructions. One common construction, however, is to form guides 34 out of a tubular material such as a pipe. This configuration, especially, may cause problems if belts 10 wear heavily against guides 34. One problem, as mentioned above, is that the hitting of the clipper splice against the guard places additional strain upon the clipper splice which significantly increases the likelihood of failure of the splice. Additionally, it is not uncommon for the abrasion from the edge of a belt against an adjacent guide 34a to cut a notch in the guide itself. When this happens, the belt may tend to ride in the notch and the likelihood of damage to the belt is significantly increased. An entire "ribbon" may be ripped from a belt by the cutting of the notch as the belt passes through it. When the clipper splice hits such a notch, the splice is very likely to be ripped apart, requiring the baler to be shut down while the belt is replaced. This likelihood of damage is further increased when the guides are formed of a tubular product. The worn guide is then even more likely to catch and damage the belt, and particularly to damage the belt splice. Belts constructed in accordance with the present invention do not tend to "ride against" the guides as do the prior art belts. The transverse stiffness of the belts causes the belts to "bounce" away from the guides upon contact. This feature of belts in accordance with the present invention minimizes detrimental wearing of both the belts and the guides, and promotes optimal service from the baler. Moreover, this transverse stiffness is imparted to the belts without an increase in either the thickness or hardness of the rubber skims of covers relative to prior art belts, either of which would adversly affect the ability of the belt to flex without cracking. Additionally, as hay is fed into a baler during normal operations, there may be highly uneven loading across the width of a belt. This can sometimes cause a belt to curl up, or "cup", or even to flip over. If the belt flips, the baling operation must be stopped to right the belt. The transverse stiffness of the belt 10 of the present invention minimizes the likelihood of the belts curling or fliping over, because an edge of belt 10 does not remain in contact with a guide for any substantial time. Many modifications and variations may be made in the techniques and structures described herein and depicted in the accompanying drawings without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, it should be readily understood that the embodiments described and illustrated herein are illustrative only and are not intended as limitations on the scope of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a belting in accordance with the present invention, illustrated in vertical section. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of belting in accordance with the present invention which depicts the individual plies of the belting material of FIG. 1. FIGS. 3a and 3b are perspective views of belting which illustrate a "clipper" type splice which is typically used in belting for hay balers. FIG. 4 is a top enlarged view which illustrates the composition of the outer fabric plies of the belting of FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 5 is the front view of a portion of a hay baler which illustrates a plurality of belts passing between guides in a configuration generally representative of the working environment on a hay baler. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 6--6' of FIG. 5. The present invention relates generally to belting, and more specifically relates to belting for use in agricultural equipment such as hay balers. The design and construction of belting for use in agricultural equipment such as hay balers presents considerations not found in other environments. Belts utilized in hay balers for forming round bales ("round hay balers") may be on the order of 40 feet in length. Throughout their length, the belts must be able to support heavy loads with a minimum of stretching and must withstand extreme environmental conditions without deteriorating. When a belt for a round hay baler is subjected to heavy loading under operating conditions, the amount that the belt stretches must remain within a certain tolerance or the bale being made will become too large, thereby interfering with proper baler operation, and will not be compacted and formed properly. The amount of stretch which may occur in belts used on hay balers is not insignificant. For example, a typical maximum specification for elongation of belts for hay balers has been three percent at a specified load. A forty foot belt is thus permitted to stretch up to about fourteen inches under that load. When the belt stretches beyond tolerable limits, the belt is removed and shortened. This shortening of the belt has typically been accomplished by trial and error techniques, especially in the field. Such trial and error techniques can produce unsatisfactory results. Manufacturers of hay balers have continued to increase the specification for the density of bales which a baler can produce. The amount of loading to which the belts of the baler are subjected in the making of denser bales is increased, and hence the likelihood that a belt will stretch by an amount beyond acceptable limits for proper operation is increased. Another factor to be considered in belt design is the ability of the belt to flex in operation without the ply material cracking. In that regard, a typical round hay baler employs a plurality of rollers on which the belts are installed. The position of the rollers is such that the belts are subjected to a substantial amount of flexing in traveling around the rollers. Moreover, some of the rollers are positioned such that the belts must travel in and S-shape during operation. If the belts fail due to the flexing stress, the belt must be replaced to recover proper operation of the baler. Belting having the excellent characteristics of being able to flex in the warp direction while at the same time being resistant to stretching is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,371,580, which is assigned to the assignee of the present application. The specification of U.S. Pat. No. 4,371,580 is incorporated herein by reference. The belting described in the '580 patent includes three plies of synthetic fabric. The fabric used in each of the outer plies has a flex fatigue life and an elongation modulus which are greater than the respective flex fatigue life and elongation modulus of the fabric used in the center ply. The center fabric ply thus limits the amount that the belt can stretch, while the fabrics used in the outer plies provide the belt with excellent flexing characteristics. The typical mechanism for connecting the ends of the belt to form a continuous loop is with a "clipper splice" (for example, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b). The likelihood of belt failure due to flexing is most pronounced in the vicinity of the clipper splice. The belting of the '580 patent is believed to have solved this problem. However, prior to the present invention, a problem which still existed in belts for hay balers resulted from the contact between the belt and its guides. Each belt is installed on the baler between a pair of guides, and the guides are essential to prevent the belts from moving transversely and becoming entangled with one another. Each belt is permitted to move sideways between its guides, and in doing so and edge of the belt sometimes contacts the guide on its side. When this happens, the edges of prior art belts do not move away from the guide, but instead the edges often end up "riding" on a guide for successive revolutions of the belt. In this situation, one end of the clipper splice may repeatedly be stuck by the guide, eventually causing the splice to break. Also, when the edge of the belt "rides" on the guide, the belt is prone to "cup", and possibly even to flip over. Neither of these conditions constitutes desirable operating conditions. In accordance with the present invention, I have discovered that the useful life of a belt for a hay baler can be extended significantly if contact between the edges of the belt and the belt guides is minimized. In order to minimize such contact, I have developed a belt which is transversely stiff, as compared with prior art hay baler belts and which still has excellent characteristics of flexing and stretch resistance. When such a belt is used on a baler, the edge of the belt tends to move away from a guide upon contacting it. In one embodiment of the present invention, belting is provided having three fabric plies, a center ply fabric which is relatively resistant to stretching, and a pair of outer plies which are less resistant to stretching but which have a higher flex fatigue life than the central fabric ply. In addition, the fabrics of the outer plies include fill yarns of a type which impart relative transverse stiffness to the belting. In a preferred embodiment, these fill yarns are formed of extruded monofilament yarns, preferably extruded monofilament polyester yarns. Also in a preferred embodiment, the outer fabric plies are maintained in spaced relation relative to the center ply by the placement of rubber skims between the outer plies and the center ply. Rubber covers are bonded to the exterior of the outer plies to provide resistance to abrasion and to provide a surface for the baling operations. Patent Citations

Sit back and enjoy the story - there's a complete, unabridged audio recording embedded within each chapter of this premium ebook. Read by the talented Allan Corduner, this audio narration, described by The Times as having "the haunting quality of poetry", brings new depth and tone to the book's compelling story. As this premium ebook contains two books in one, it has a file size of nearly 496MB, considerably more than a regular ebook. It can only be downloaded via a broadband connection and enjoyed using Adobe® Digital Editions on your Mac or PC. It is not compatible with the Sony Reader or other dedicated device. It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still. By her brother's graveside, Liesel Meminger's life is changed when she picks up a single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is The Gravedigger's Handbook, left there by accident, and it is her first act of book thievery. So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel, with the help of her foster father, learns to read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor's wife's library, wherever there are books to be found. But these are dangerous times.

Ashli Sims, News On 6
TULSA, Oklahoma -- A grief-stricken Green Country family recently discovered they might be victims of fraud.
They pre-paid thousands of dollars for funeral services, but when their loved one died, they found out the money wasn't there.
Jennifer Meyer says her grandfather, Weldon Holbrook, was the center of her family's universe.
"It's extremely heart wrenching to watch my grandmother who was married for 62 years to lose essentially the love of her life," Meyer said.
But this beloved patriarch prepared for this time. Holbrook bought a pre-paid funeral plan from Kennard Funeral Homes back in 2006.
Since then Kennard Funeral homes has changed hands and names a couple of times. But right up until Weldon Holbrook's death, his family believed everything was in order.
"Only found out when they went to the funeral home the next day to bring him clothes, that they did not have their contracts. And not only did they not have their contracts they were wanting them to pay more money," she explained.
News On 6 spoke with the current funeral home owner. And he says he's a victim too. He says he's paid tens of thousands of dollars to make up for what the previous owner did.
According to court records, John Amis owned Amis-Kennard Funeral Services from January 2005 to November of 2007, and he confessed to fraudulently collecting pre-paid burial insurance claims on 14 people.
He's accused of taking money from those people, purchasing pre-paid burial insurance, then faking death certificates to collect the benefits.
"Most of the funeral home directors are above board and reputable folks. But we've had certain instances like the one you're investigating where we have someone find out at the worst possible time that the money is not there," said John Doak, Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner.
Doak says his department regulates funeral homes and prepaid plans. He says if you've had any dealings with Amis-Kennard, you need to contact his office.
"Let us begin the process because we cannot help them if we don't know about it," he said.
To make matters worse for this family, Jennifer Meyer says her grandmother also has one of these pre-paid policies from this same company.
"My grandmother really hasn't had time to really mourn the loss, because she's worried that when she passes away this is going to happen again," Meyer said.
The Oklahoma Funeral Board says the current owner Tom Kennedy is in good standing. He said he's tried to honor some of these pre-paid plans bought before he took over the business, but that's almost ruined him financially.
He declined to go on camera based on advice of his attorney. Previous owner, John Amis, is being prosecuted for four counts of fraud. His attorney didn't return calls.
If you're concerned about your prepaid funeral... call the insurance department's toll free number at 800-522-0071.

He tries to twist the truth into a "false reality." But wants me to end up as a spiritual fatality! There are many crazy dreams that are out there! It's the evil and sinful ones that Satan wants in there! I know this very well! And have failed many times! I know it was wrong… But I didn't commit a crime! But I've taken what God beautifully designed… By allowing ungodly thoughts to enter my mind! I need to allow God's spirit and words to cleanse me! No matter how many things try to distract me! God's word is truth and is always 100% pure! It's the only thing that can make my life secure! Anything else is falso! And a strong delusion! If I allow my life and mind to be filled with pollution! I ask for Jesus' blood and forgiveness to be applied! Anything that I need… God has already supplied! I ask for the Holy Spirit to help and bring about! The cleansing of the filth, in my life throughout! Please dear Jesus, touch and heal me once again! By the renewing of your blood, and taking away my sin! By Jim Pemberton

The snow's gone from our field. It's really hard to tell if we still have any wheat left, isn't it? Let's compare our field to what it looked like last year.
Plants in the row look surprisedly well, don't you think? The tips are burned but you can still see green at the base of the leaves. In case you were worried, I think they are going to make it.

Well, a lot of people used to believe the world was flat.
No, it doesn't. I said it's just a way to sell a few more books, which it is. I don't believe that they have to RELY on this stuff to sell books. Books still sell without it.
They would still sell books without the multiple covers or other gimmicky sales tactics. They use that to sell a few more than what they already were gonna sell.
Support titles that need supporting. Quit buying, reading and complaining about comics you don't enjoy.
Well whoever saved Marvel (I'm guessing a bunch of people led by Q); thank you for doing so. :)
Although I was looking for Marvel Now to be closer in relation to DC's New 52.
I'm all about the clean slates! I'm a long time X-men reader and even I think it's history is choking itself.
With that said I am enjoying Marvel Now and most of what it has to offer.
Now I'm off to the comic store!

Michael Curtiz's Casablanca was released in 1942 and became an immediate hit. Many people see this movie as the classic love story of all time, yet it is also has significant historical and political references that people could also relate to at the time the movie was released. The movie is based in the French-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca during World War II. Lead character Rick Blaine is a cynical American who now lives in Casablanca and owns "Rick's Café Americain," an upscale nightclub and hangout for refugees, Nazis and thieves. During this time many people fled a German-controlled Europe, seeking freedom in America. "Letters of transit" allow these refugees to travel through neutral Portugal and on to America. A horrible refugee path led people to Casablanca, where many people end up stranded because they could not get the appropriate paperwork to travel to Portugal.
Casablanca is a romanticized story of the horrific actions of the Nazi Germans during the Second World War. World War I split the majority of the world's nations into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. The Allies include the British Empire, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United States of America, China, France, and Poland. These forces opposed the Axis powers: Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan. The Axis alliance dominated large parts of Europe, Africa, and East and Southeast Asia. Hostilities between these powers, coupled with border changes enacted in the post-war settlement, fueled the onset of the mass evacuation and deportation of ethnic Germans.
World War II was driven by Germany's perceived humiliation that occurred in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, a peace treaty that officially ended the First World War. This Treaty required Germany and its allies to accept full responsibility for causing the war and to pay reparations for damages done. National Socialist, Adolph... [continues]

Re: Change url appearance
21 August 2010 at 11:14pm
Thanks zenmonkey, I have thought of the 301 option.
I guess what Im looking for is a way to implement url aliasing.
for instance as I understand it, in drupal a url has an internal name of "node-1", and can be assigned an alias such as "category/sub-page.htm" which then is populated to all internal links, although the internal name "node-1" is retained. Then if you at some point change it to "new-name-of-category/new-name.htm" it just works because the internal name was always "node-1" and you only changed the alias.
Is ther anyway to do something like this with silverstripe, for instance by building a new module for it, or is the issue that silverstripe does not use this seperation of machine name and human readable name, so aliasing is impossible?
Re: Change url appearance
24 August 2010 at 6:47am
You'd have to overload the Director which controls URL re-writes. Technically the system already parses the URL to convert it from a human/seo readable for to a system object.
I've never tried to overload a core method beyond some login forms and cms actions. I don't know where to point you to for help beyond te above documentation
Good Luck

Sir Michael Moritz at work on a hill above the Bolinas Lagoon near San Francisco
At my high school, art class was considered the preserve of the dunderheads. I definitely could not draw, and my experience of painting was limited to shelves, walls, and trim (with the Jackson Pollock effect reserved for floorboards). It wasn't until about a dozen years ago, after happening upon an article Winston Churchill had written in the 1920s, "Painting as a Pastime," that I made my first trip to the art store. Churchill describes how, without any prior training or any demonstrable proclivity, he took up painting at age 41. This hobby became an all-consuming passion that (with the exception of World War II, during which he painted only one picture) accompanied him into his dotage. Churchill's article, later transformed into a book, must have stirred some of my latent, midlife longings.

Advanced MythTV Video Processing
Although digital TV recordings are an MPEG-2 video stream, the NuppelVideo container format used by MythTV is specific to MythTV and is not supported by most video player software. To watch the videos with anything other than a MythTV front end, you must convert them to a format with a wider selection of players.
Exporting video is further complicated by the filenames used by MythTV to store recordings. The first part of the filename is the channel number used by MythTV, and the two long numbers are the start date and end date:
myth:/video$ ls -lh *.nuv -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv users 2.8G Sep 3 08:00 1000_20050903073000_20050903080000.nuv -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv users 9.1G Aug 31 23:30 1007_20050831220000_20050831233000.nuv -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv users 808M Sep 3 01:30 1008_20050903010000_20050903013000.nuv -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv users 1.8G Sep 1 09:00 1009_20050901080000_20050901090000.nuv -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv users 3.7G Aug 28 22:00 1019_20050828210000_20050828220000.nuv
Tools to convert the MythTV recordings into more widely supported formats are readily available. mythtranscode, a program that can decode the MythTV NuppelVideo files into a standard video stream supported by many programs, comes as part of the MythTV distribution. By feeding the output of mythtranscode to an encoder program of your choice, you can create any type of video file you want. A common choice of encoder program is FFmpeg, which supports many common video formats. Linking the two programs together to produce an intelligible output file is theoretically possible, but wading through all the command-line options and the recordings on your system is a complicated process.
Enter nuvexport, a Perl script that manages the process for you in an extremely friendly manner. nuvexport assembles the command-line options necessary to run mythtranscode and FFmpeg. It uses a text-based menu interface to guide you through the process of selecting a show for export and then setting up any required parameters of the conversion programs.
Before installing nuvexport, there are a few necessary support tools. FFmpeg is the default program required to re-encode the video into the selected target format. (nuvexport also supports transcode, which is much slower.) MPlayer is used to decode the MythTV files for conversion. Many conversions result in the appearance of noise that needs to be filtered out. nuvexport uses the yuvdenoise program, which is one of the MJPEG tools. All three programs are widely used and are likely to be available as packages for your Linux distribution. nuvexport uses the DateManip module as well, so fetch that from your distribution's package site or favorite CPAN mirror.
The first prompt from nuvexport is to select the format of the exported video file. The basic trade-off is whether to choose an MPEG-4-based export format for minimum file size at the cost of extra processing time to prepare it, or to use one of the larger but easier to prepare formats. The major choices are:
Video CD (VCD) consists of an MPEG-1 video stream at 1,150kbps, with the audio in a separate MPEG layer 2 (MP2) track at 224kbps.
Super Video CD (SVCD) consists of an MPEG-2 video at a variable rate, while retaining the MP2 audio track. Unlike VCD, the audio track can have multiple channels, so 5.1 or 7.1 audio can be stored in this format.
DVD is based on MPEG-2 video, with several options for an audio track. It is higher resolution than either of the video CD formats.
DivX is an MPEG-4-based format, which results in small files. However, it minimizes file size without significant sacrifices in quality. DivX can produce either constant-rate video or variable-rate video.
XviD is an MPEG-4-based format that is an offshoot of the development of DivX. It is based on an open-source development of a DivX codec released in 2001. By default, nuvexport uses variable-rate video encoding for XviD and offers the option of either a single pass or multiple passes. Multiple passes improve video quality at the expense of processing time.
Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) was developed by Microsoft as a generic container for media, and it is commonly used with Windows Media Audio (WMA) and Windows Media Video (WMV) files. WMV is based on Microsoft extensions to MPEG-4.
In my experience, the VCD and SVCD codecs offer good quality with fast processing times, while the DivX and XviD codecs offer the smallest file size but take longer to produce. After selecting a video export format, nuvexport uses a text-based menu system to select the episodes for export and set up parameters for the codec.
After selecting a set of episodes for export, nuvexport presents standard questions, such as where to put the exported file. It offers the option of using the MythTV cutlist, which cuts commercials from the exported video. Noise reduction and deinterlacing are offered as options. Although both default to yes, I usually disable them because of the additional processing time. Many video players can deinterlace on playback, and I have not found excessive noise from conversion.
Some export formats have additional codec-specific questions. Both DivX and XviD will allow adjustment of the bit rates and resolution. The default bit rates of 128kbps for audio and 960kbps for video are sufficient to produce good-quality video on most computer displays. When setting video size, nuvexport prompts for the width first and then proposes a height based on the aspect ratio of the recording. Keep the width less than the recorded width. The default width of 624 usually produces good video, but it can be larger for recordings that are 1920x1080. VCD and SVCD do not prompt for resolution because the formats have fixed resolutions.
Table 1 compares the processing time and space required by each of the different formats, as well as the MythTV native format and my commercial DVR. As a source, I used an hour-long episode of PBS's Nova, which is transmitted at a resolution of 704x480. The "commercial DVR" entry is for the video program as transferred from my commercial DVR to my laptop. As a rule of thumb, MPEG-2 requires approximately 1GB per hour, but MPEG-4 will be only 350–450MB. The encoding time listed in the table does not take into account either deinterlacing or noise reduction; I perform both tasks in the video player on playback.
Table 1. Results of Export (Typical)
Format | Resolution | File size | Encoding time |
Myth native format | 704x480 | 1,756MB | N/A |
Commercial DVR | N/A | 1,236MB | N/A |
VCD | 352x240 | 596MB | 15 min. |
SVCD | 480x480 | 601MB | 25 min. |
DVD | 720x480 | 899MB | 34 min. |
DivX | 624x464 | 432MB | 35 min. |
XviD (1 pass) | 624x464 | 451MB | 1 hour, 39 min. |
XviD (2 pass) | 624x464 | 472MB | 2 hours, 35 min. |
ASF | 320x240 | 143MB | 18 min. |
Although ASF has the smallest size, it is also by far the worst looking. There are large compression artifacts in the ASF file that make it very distracting to watch. Although the small size is attractive, the poor picture quality rules it out. DVD video has the best picture quality, but it also requires the most disk space. As a compromise between the two extremes, I use VCD and DivX, depending on priorities. I use the former to create a file quickly, and the latter to create the smallest file possible.
Video transcoding is a CPU-intensive process. By default, nuvexport runs its helper processes at high nice values to prevent them from interfering with other system operations, such as video playback or recording. All recent Linux distributions have software that allows the CPU clock speed to be changed in response to demand for processing power. I use the CPU speed control to keep the clock speed as low as possible while still accomplishing the work I want. Many CPU speed control programs will not take into account niced processes, but they can be configured to do so. My Linux distribution uses the CPUfreq kernel driver, which needs to be configured to monitor niced processes. A small start-up script runs the following two commands:
echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor echo "1" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/ignore_nice
The second command instructs CPUfreq driver to count the processing demands from niced processes. Times listed in Table 1 are from a 2.0GHz AMD Athlon64 running at top speed. At the minimum speed of 1.0GHz, processing time is approximately three to four times as long. Exporting the video from MythTV is only the first half of the battle. Once the video is produced, it can be transferred to another location for playback. In addition to the playback applications present on the viewing platform, there are two notable open-source playback applications: MPlayer and Video LAN Client (VLC). I use MPlayer because the built-in deinterlacing capabilities result in a smoother picture than VLC. Both applications are available on both Linux and Windows.
MPlayer's command line is identical on different host operating systems. The goal is to get crisp full-screen video playback. The -fs option plays back the video with the full screen so there is no window around the video. Video filters can be used to change the playback and are activated with the -vf option. I use two -vf options. One creates a small black border around the screen with the expand filter. The expand filter takes multiple arguments. A negative number is interpreted as a border. The filter -vf expand=0:-50 puts a 50-pixel border at the bottom of the screen and leaves the video centered in the border. To get crisp video, deinterlacing is necessary. MPlayer activates deinterlacing with the postprocessing filter, abbreviated pp. As a general rule, I turn on four postprocessing filters: horizontal de-blocking (hb), vertical de-blocking (vb), de-ringing (dr) and brightness/contrast correction (al). The resulting filter is activated with -vf pp=hb/vb/dr/al. Putting it all together, the command line is:
mplayer -fs -vf pp=hb/vb/dr/al -vf expand=0:-50 (filename)
During playback, MPlayer's extensive keyboard commands enable pausing, fast-forwarding and picture adjustment, as well as on-screen display.

Matthew Gast is the author of the leading technical book on wireless LANs, 802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide (O'Reilly Media). He is currently spending far too much time these days working with MythTV. He can be reached at email@example.com, but only when he is close to sea level.
An easier way
Something I found out recently: these days mplayer can be used to replay the nuv container format used by mythtv directly. So, you can simply copy the nuv files onto your laptop and play them with mplayer.
I was using mplayer 1.0pre6 for windows.
Much faster than transcoding them into another format. nuvexport can also be used to export the files directly as nuv, but there seems little advantage to that over simply copying them, except it might be a bit easier to identify the correct files.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Carrie Prejean is stunned that her Miss California Crown has been taken away.Carrie loses her title for having the exact same stance Barack Obama does on "gay marriage", plus sticking to her beliefs and the typical loons rejoice. I hope she sues Trump and his idiot pageant for all they got.Especially because those mean old pageant officials just tried to make her pose for Playboy and appear on "I'm a Celebrity ... Get me Out of Here" with Spencer and Heidi Pratt! Carrie Prejean tells TMZ that pageant honchos actually asked recently her to take those two gigs.
She was told that Playboy had offered $140,000 for her to pose semi-nude.
She rejected both offers.
Pageant official Keith Lewis explained to TMZ that he was merely passing every offer along because Carrie had asked that they do so.
Prejean, who insists she has been consistently cooperative, calls this whole firing thing "a political debate." "They don't agree with the stance that I took [on gay marriage]. Shanna [Moakler] is trying to bash me. They don't like me. From Day One they wanted me out, and they got what they wanted."
Prejean can't believe Donald Trump said she treated people badly. "I was very respectful of people even when they slandered me and humiliated me," she said. "I have not once stooped down to their level."

Interior designer Cathy Hobbs, ASID, chose to create architectural detail in this post-war New York City apartment where it did not exist. Inexpensive molding was added to the walls in order to give the room a sense of having Old World architectural details. The moldings are further accentuated by painting them white, in contrast to a soft, yet bold powder blue paint on the walls.

District Communications
The OPS Gifted & Talented Department once again hosted SmART Minds--a daylong art exploration event for third-grade artists from across the district. More than 120 gifted and talented students took part in a day of art appreciation, exploration and creation at the Joslyn Art Museum, discovering the connections between art and math, specifically geometry. Students rotated between three activity stations: a docent-led tour through various galleries, and two hands-on art classes where they designed exciting tessellation patterns using printmaking techniques and created their own 3-D masks. Participants also had the chance to submit a pencil drawing for a SmART Minds art competition. The drawings reflect the theme of "Patterns All Around Us."

Movie Info
Terrence Malick, the universally acclaimed American filmmaker responsible for the key 1970s features Badlands and Days of Heaven, returns for a rare directorial outing with the sweeping period piece The New World -- an epic dramatization of Pocahontas' relationships with John Smith and John Rolfe. Malick's story opens at the dawn of the 17th century, just prior to the colonization of the United States -- when the North American population consisted of an interconnected series of native tribes.

These whispered ruminations are beautifully written, but whose voice are we hearing?
The New World isn't Terrence Malick's best, but it's guiding him in the right direction.
The New World laps over its audience like water on a deserted beach, moving so quietly that you almost don't notice that it's enveloped you.
The New World is stately almost to the point of being static and thus has trouble finding a central story around which to arrange itself; it's not quite the thin dead line, but it's close.
He [Malick] swoons for his own well-honed image as a painter of woodland idylls, a man who leaves no sway of wheat or ripple of water unmet by his fatherly gaze.
Through elliptical and seemingly oblique methods, he [Malick] forges moments of staggering emotional power.
Great works, when they next-to-never come, are always accompanied by giggles.
Malick manages to do something I never thought possible, and that's make America seem like a New World to begin with.
It is about the dreams we have when we are awake but in a state of absolute peace and perfect self-reflection.
By now the familiar elements have begun to resemble a misguided perfume commercial. Call it Terrence Malick's Obsession.
Not Malick's best film, but more than up to his usual high standards, The New World is a powerful and emotional romantic drama, and an essential story in the history of America.
Makes you view the world with virgin eyes again
"The New World" is a movie that promises to leave its viewers with a bigger headache than you'd get contemplating the current state of global affairs.
If I think I'm mostly going to keep coming back to [the 172-minute] cut (and I do hope, someday soon, for a Mr. Arkadin-like 3-cuts comparative DVD set) it's because it feels most fully realized.
...the romance of the three humans is secondary to the romance of the New World itself and all it symbolizes.
[Malick's] characters must consider their lives, consider each other, and resolve the situation like adults. And when they do, a story that seemed to be irredeemably broken snaps back together.
An epic retelling of the Pocahontas story that, despite its flaws, leaves you slack-jawed with wonder at times.
The New World is a thing of wild beauty, untamed and feral yet luxurious, sumptuous and lavish all at the same time.
The Terrence Malick masterpiece I, for one, have been waiting for.
A two-and-a-half-hour cinematic mosaic meant by Malick more as a monument to himself than to the misrepresented maiden it presumes to memorialize.
A real work of art, a hearty meal in today's cinematic fast-food culture.
ill be cheered by a relatively small, but educated and curious contingent of ticket buyers.
Unfortunately, when you try to bring everything together, it's hard to tell what Malick is trying to get at.
Lazily reassuring, a dime-store haiku, and a master's nadir.
A work of great intelligence, ambition and radiant beauty.
Audience Reviews for The New World
Terence Malick is a very acquired taste, but is capable of providing some rewarding stuff. One has to be in the right mood to enjoy his stuff, but if you can get into that groove, then the experience is quite something. This take on the Pocahontas story, while taking liberties and guilty of some inaccuracies, does far better justice than the 90s raping perpetrated by Disney. For one, this is just better shot, not (really as, if at all) whitewashed, and just a better production all around. Oddly enough, Christian Bale is involved with both films.
Despite some license with history/story, and a purposeful desire to focus on the romance, this is a thoughtful, gorgeous poem about culture, nature, and life. As is common with Malick's work, the cinematography and visuals are absolutely stunning. This sucker is just wonderful to stare at. What misgivings the story has are made up with more faithful attempts to accurately depict cultures, sets, locations, and costumes. The art direction and set design, like the camera work, are dynamite.
The real star of the show is nature. The humans do a good job too, but they are merely supporting players, even the characters who are supposed to be the leads. This is art, so I'm sure most people won't like this. It wouldn't be what they're expecting. Much like 2001, Solaris, and other great works of art, this film is long, slow paced, and features minimal dialogue. I appreciate the subtlety and not having everything handed to me. What's odd though is that while there's not much dialogue, there's a lot of voice overs to fill in the gaps. Some don't like this (as I've read), but it didn't bug me too much. One thing I really appreciated is how not all of the scenes with Native Americans speaking are subtitled. I liked that. It makes the viewer pay attention and pulls them into feeling just like the colonists in terms of having to jump a communication hurdle.
I wanted to like this more, but I found it hard to watch. For the reasons I opened this review with, it's not so much to the fault of the film. I think you should give this a chance, if only to stare and gorgeous images and listen to beautiful music while cultures clash in an artistically rendered historical romance.

text: 1993 Ford F-150 Centurion EditionDuring the 1990's and early 2000's, a company called Centurion Vehicles of White Pigeon, Michigan produced special edition trucks branded Centurion conversion trucks. The company was acquired by Southern Comfort Conversions, Inc. The rare Ford F-150 found on this page was found on eBay in January 2007. This Truck started out as a stock F-150 Club Cab and Centurion Auto Conversions transformed it in to a C-150 Centurion.This 1/2 Ton was formerly owned by Super Bowl M.V.P. Mark Rypien! This Truck seats 9, and has 3rd row seating on plush light brown velour, with 2 captains chairs in the front. Comes with all the stock equipment as the XL and more. All power, cruise, tilt wheel, rear air, multi-disc player, premium sound, ABS 4-wheel, moon roof, privacy glass, running boards, towing pkg, custom wheels & tires, video player and t.v. Centurion is one of the leaders in automotive conversions. Power comes from a V-8 5.8 Liter, with automatic transmission and rear wheel drive. This is truly a rare find, and a real head turner. This vehicle has been very well maintained, and routinely serviced by the local Ford Dealership. Overall condition is GREAT inside and out. Like I said the M.V.P. took very good care of his pride and joy. |

Different concept to Carrefour. Not the same idea. Similar route to final product, maybe, but definitely not the same idea and they don't even look similar. But geeze....As a designer you should definitely know the Carrefour logo. It's an icon, man

Great Design.Maybe the type should feature the same kind of "C" from the mark.

There was a hurricane, a nor'easter, and even a historic playoff vote. The fall season had its share of headline events. But if the fall is the start of a year-long marathon, then we're off to a great start. As the winter season begins, schools such as Andover, Barnstable, and Bishop Feehan have an early lead thanks to teams that brought home state championships in swimming, volleyball, and cross-country. Now it's time to hand off the baton. Coaches understand there's work to be done. They teach and encourage, prod and push, trying to turn teenagers into champions. For some, such as the Needham boys' soccer team and the Watertown field hockey team, the payoff is huge. Nothing can match the celebration enjoyed by a handful of teams and individuals this fall. Selecting 10 worthy success stories from a season filled with candidates isn't easy. Here, in no particular order, are 10 we thought stood out.

La Velle E. Neal III has covered baseball for the Star Tribune since 1998 (the post-Knoblauch era). Born and raised in Chicago, he grew up following the White Sox and hating the Cubs. He attended both the University of Illinois and Illinois-Chicago and began his baseball writing career at the Kansas City Star. He can be heard occasionally on KFAN radio, lending his great baseball mind to Paul Allen and other hosts. Mark Rosen borrows him occasionally for WCCO-TV.
Not trying to send you folks away from this wonderful website, but it will be worth checking mlb.com today for the release of its top 100 prospects in baseball. Jonathan Mayo does a great job covering prospects, and has plenty of content to read.
For instance, mlb.com has released the top ten prospects by position. Miguel Sano is the top prospect at third base. Byron Buxton is fifth among outfielders. Eddie Rosario is sixth among second basemen.
This also is the time of year when prospects who aren't on the radar pop up. I was looking at someone's top 20 list of Twins prospects over the weekend and ran across a name I was not familiar with: Righthander Felix Jose. He posted a 2.34 ERA in 12 games (seven starts) for the Twins' Gulf Coast rookie team last season. In 34 innings, he walked 12 and struck out 37. He has a long way to go.
But I did fire off an e-mail to Twins director of minor league Brad Steil and asked, 'who in the heck is this kid?'
"Felix is skinny right-hander with a good arm and a pretty good feel for pitching for a young guy," Steil wrote back.
Great. Another kid to check out when I head over to the minor league complex this spring.
