New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - May 16, 1991, New Braunfels, Texas County AgentTexas A&M laboratory busy identifying suspected 'killer bees' By JOE G. TAYLOR Comal County Extension Agent Honey bees can't easily swarm Texas incognito anymore. A new laboratory at Texas AWI University has the make on them. Tile Texas honey bee Identification Lab has begun analyzing Africanized honey bee (AHB) suspects as pan of the state's plan to minimize the impact of the dreaded insect. "Often after the first measurement of a sample it is obvious that the honey bees are domestic," said Leon Praetorian, entomology research assistant who supervises the lab. "But if there is a possibility that they are Africanized, we do 'die full set of tests. It can take up to six hours to prepare and analyze one sample of bees." Scientific identification is important because the AHR is almost identical to the ordinary domestic honeybee. Special microscopes, a digitizing computer program and genetic tests are usa! to determine whether a honey boc is Africanized. Bees collected both in die Texas A&M trap line from cast of Kingsville to Laredo and by the general public can he identified at the new lab with the microscopic and computer techniques. The identification service is free. Dr Horace W. Van Cleave, Texas A&M entomologist and lab administrator, expects strong demand from the public for bec identification. "We have built cxpandion into lite budget," Van Cleave nid. "We have feared up to handle the load It s just a nutter of when to pull the switch and start going." He said that will be determined by the level of concern from 'he public x hee swarms become more prevalent this spring. "When swarms start showing up we will stan getting more samples," Van Cleave predicted Three parts of the honey bees are ' measured in the lab the forewings. hind w ings and a segment of lite abdo men from which the wax is nude. If those measurements suggest a swami is African!zed, samples are sent to a LLS department of Agriculture lab in Beltsville. MD., for genetic confirmation. The first AHB swami in the United State* was detected near Hidalgo, a small town near the Rio Grande River in South Texas, on Oct 15, lddO. Praetoruis provided these sugges uons for sending a sample to the lab for identification: • Remember that the Africanized honey hee looks just like a domestic honey bee. Do not send wasps, buiub tcbces, hornets, yellow jackets or ans olhcrinscct for identification • Collect at least 50 individual honey bees if you know how to handle bees • Put honey bees in a jar filled with rubbing alcohol. This keeps the bees soft and easter to dissect. • Pack Ute jar well in a small box. Encase that box in another well-packcd box. • Include the following lniorma lion: collector's name, organization and phone number; time and date oi collection; sue of die swami or colony, city and county; precise locaiion (tree, building, hive, other). • Mad to 'I exas A&M, Dc par uncut of Entomology, Honey Bee Identifer uou Lab, Riverside Campus, Building 4431.

A propensity to believe that fellow citizens will not act against our interests in social and economic transactions has been identified as key to the effective functioning of democratic polities. Yet the causes of this type of 'generalized' or 'social' trust are far from clear. To date, researchers within the social and political sciences have focused almost exclusively on social-developmental and political/institutional features of individuals and societies as the primary causal influences. In this paper we investigate the intriguing possibility that social trust might have a genetic, as well as an environmental basis. We use data collected from samples of monozygotic and dizygotic twins to estimate the additive genetic, shared environmental, and non-shared environmental components of trust. Our results show that the majority of the variance in a multi-item trust scale is accounted for by an additive genetic factor. On the other hand, the environmental influences experienced in common by sibling pairs have no discernable effect; the only environmental influences appear to be those that are unique to the individual. Our findings problematise the widely held view that the development of social trust occurs through a process of familial socialization at an early stage of the life course.

Q:How do you tighten these clamps
1 answer
A:Wrap the metal band around the CV boot. The band sits in a groove that has been pre-formed in the CV boot. Wrap the band counterclockwise around the CV boot or toward the front of the vehicle.Thread the end of the metal band with the holes in it under the metal clasp attached to the band to complete the circle around the CV boot. Position the metal band so the clasp is at 9 o'clock or on the left hand side of the CV boot. Pull outward and upward to tighten the metal band around the CV boot with a pair of needle nose pliers. This squeezes the band around the CV boot while creating pressure on the clasp.Bend the metal band backward onto the clasp and lock it into place by pressing against the metal band with a flat-head screwdriver. Once bent backward, the metal band is held in place with the clasp.

Gwen Stefani Update: Moving In With Blake Shelton And Her Kids? [VIDEO]
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton appear to be taking the next step in their relationship.
Are Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton ready to move in together after about one year of dating?
According to a new report, Stefani and Shelton appeared to be shopping for their potential joint residence during a recent outing to Home Depot with Stefani's youngest son, Apollo, 2.
"The PDA fest continues! After being snapped making out after a lunch date, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton did the ultimate couples activity: shopping for their home!" OK! Magazine reported on Monday. "The lovebirds, who just celebrated their anniversary, were spotted on Oct. 14 shopping together at Home Depot with Gwen's 2-year-old son Apollo in Studio City."
In photos from the outing, Shelton, who does not yet have any children of his own, was seen carrying Apollo. In the past, Shelton has also been photographed with Stefani's older sons, Kingston, 10, and Zuma, 8, and appears to be close with them, as well.
As for what the future holds when it comes to starting a family of their own, Stefani and Shelton have been linked to rumors for the past several months, which claim Stefani is expecting a baby -- or two.
Earlier this month, Life & Style claimed Stefani and Shelton were planning for both a baby and a wedding.
"Blake Shelton is set to become a first-time dad (and third-time husband!) with Gwen Stefani by his side," a source told the magazine, according to a report by Gossip Cop. "Over the past few months, [Stefani] has been planning a blowout Christmas wedding and trying to get pregnant."
"Friends believe she already could be pregnant," the insider continued. "She's been eating a lot of carbs, which she never eats except when she's pregnant. [Stefani] wants a baby girl after years of feeling outnumbered at home, [but] expecting a baby wouldn't make her postpone her nuptials... She wouldn't want to be an unwed mother at the time of the baby's birth, so she'll definitely be marrying Blake before then."
In response to the story, a rep for Stefani told Gossip Cop that it is "untrue" that Stefani is pregnant and marrying Shelton.

Sainsbury's boss Mike Coupe today called the festive trading season the hardest Christmas ever as the supermarket saw sales drop over the period for the first time in 10 years.
He told the Standard: "I've been in the industry 30 years and this is the toughest I've ever seen in the market place. It's the toughest Christmas I've seen in my time at Sainsbury's and in the industry."
It comes as sales dropped 1.7%, which was better than market analysts had expected, but also continues a run of four consecutive quarterly falls for the UK's third-biggest supermarket.
Coupe added that convenience store sales had risen 16% and online sales were up 6%. However, he refused to give away the sharp fall in its traditional larger-store estate.
He was optimistic that the rapid pace of the discounters' growth would slow down over the year and believed the £150 million hit to profits in order to cut prices would help Sainsbury's secure its future.
He added: "It's undoubtedly a fiercely competitive market. There is no doubt industry margins have fallen and have reset at a lower level as a result of what's going on in the market."
Shoppers have streamed into discounters Aldi and Lidl in the past 12 months, although latest figures suggest the speed of growth is slowing down. But Coupe insisted Sainsbury's did not lose customers over the Christmas period, with 29.5 million transactions.
He explained: "People still trade up at Christmas, and that's why we saw sales in our Taste the Difference range up 5%."
He added that falling commodity prices have also caused price deflation, which has seen prices down.
The period also saw 57 million mince pies sold, 550,000 turkeys, up 8% year on year, and an £8 million spend in convenience stores on Christmas Eve alone, recording the biggest-ever day for its smaller high street sites.
Coupe remained cautious for the year ahead and admitted he would be taking notice of Tesco's update tomorrow from its new boss Dave Lewis on how he plans to rescue the supermarket.
He added: "We'll watch very carefully on what they say but the important thing is to do the right thing for our customers. But I've spent my career competing with Tesco and I don't agree that the fate of our destiny is in other people's hands."
Shares in the supermarket gained slightly on the news, climbing 1.2p to 235.8p.Reuse content

Sunset: Precursor to the Dawn
Conquest, knowledge, a place to call home, banishment, or to protect their own. Five characters each with their own reasons for leaving their homes. But these five destinies are fated to cross each other as they travel.
Allereus settled into her hammock and sighed, setting it gently swinging between the thick jungle trees. She lazily cleaned the blood off her fingernails and looked at the stars appearing one-by-one, a rare sight below the thick forest canopy.
Dinner had been messy.
But it had been good.
She'd had to fight for it.
Her thoughts travelled back to early evening. She had injured several others during the dinner rush, a fact that the elders had both noticed and frowned upon.
There was a crack, and Allereus looked up. By the being's decourative paints, it was a messenger from an elder.
"You are wanted at the Council at dawn for disorderly conduct."
She did not acknowledge the messenger or the words he had spoken. He disappeared soon, assuming she had heard.
Disorderly conduct.
Allereus hated that phrase. She intended to disregard the summons altogether.
Soon enough, however, she rolled over, intending to get enough sleep to attend.
"Come on, come on." Lykantio scrolled down the old parchment carefully for the fortieth time, looking for the final piece to the Line. He had been studying this section of the Score for ages, hoping to master it. He knew he was on the verge of success, just one more thing needed to snap into...
He suddenly bolted to the extensive notes he had taken, struck by a stroke of inspiration. "Yes! This is it!" he whooped. "That's what I was missing. Now I've got to test it." Lykantio hurried to the window of his hut to see if there was still time left.
"Darn it," he said as he watched the sun sink below the horizon. He sighed. "Guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow," he said with a yawn. He blinked and yawned. Just as well, he thought, he hadn't slept much these past three days working on his pet project. He could wait until tomorrow to test it.
The swarmlord paced the small antechamber impatiently. His empress had summoned his presence as the second oldest living male of the entire swarm. Due to his age, the rank of military commander had been granted to him.
Although other races would have frowned upon having an elder commanding them in battles, Nixxian princes struggled daily to survive against their rivals. He wouldn't have still been alive if he was defenseless.
Next to him, a captured slave sang for his 'enjoyment' which irritated him even more for he didn't share his queen's view on these lesser creatures. She sought to bring them under the swarm's service and construct a society of mutual cooperation.
If it had been his choice, he would have had most of them executed, keeping only those who ensured the hive was fed and maintained alive.
Finally, after hours of waiting, the empress' chamber opened and another male waved him in, the current consort prince. Both shared a venomous glance at each other, knowing they would one day have to fight for their rank.
"Greetings to you Qliphoth." The empress spoke. "You must know why I have summoned you here... Your presence at the head of our army is required. You will leave our empire immediately and take command of our legions. A scribe will brief you on the way out."
The summoned warlord bowed lowly before his master before leaving. As he stepped out, another slave accompanied him, holding tablets with the details of his new mission. Upon hearing the details, he grinned sinisterly, it was going to be a bloodbath...
Alaric moved like the breeze across the dry savanna plains; the exiguous, tattered outlines of the sapling acacia trees dotted his view, shielding almost nothing from his ever-alert gaze. The string of his bow was drawn back, stretched tight, his fingertips clamped on the feathered tip of his arrow, his spine curving to hold the weapon in perfect form. His breathing was regulated and meticulous, his heartbeat steady and calm. He would not miss. He loosed the arrow and watched as it cut through the air, hissing quietly as it rushed with remarkable speed across the wide open plain.
He could almost smell the fear of the wildebeest as its instincts fluttered wildly for the narrowest of seconds and it fought to pinpoint the danger; Alaric was too far off, standing in the middle of a patch of tall grass, the paleness of his skin becoming nothing but a strange, shifting whiteness beneath the blazing sun.
With a wet puncture the arrow sank in and the horned beast crumpled to the ground with a few desperate, weak twitches.
Aurora was worried, out of her mind worried. She didn't know why either, only that something big was going to happen and she had to be there. Anyone who didn't know her would think she looked peaceful, bored even, sitting in that white chair waiting to be talked to by very important superiors.
Why were they summoning her? Did they need her? Why was she so special? Sure, she can fight, and she is a singer, but there must be others as well, right? She just wants a peaceful life, simple, blissful, but the elders want something fom her. Why couldn't she just continue on her journey? All questions, no answers; her brothers would know what to do, they could figure out any problem, too bad they were dead.
Aurora felt like pacing, she was so agitated, she felt like screaming, crying, punching. She didn't, she was known for her level headedness, no matter how strong her feelings were. Her pale blue eyes were twinkling, her long white hair shining brightly, wanting to be let out of her braid. The door creaked open, and heavy foot steps came closely to her.
She'd seen him before, a very important elder indeed, one of the most powerful. Aurora wasn't sure if she trusted him or not, so far she did. He had gray, silver hair, his eyes were of all colors, wearing odd but very clean and superior clothing. His face showed no emotion, like a statue, but Aurora could tell he had once been happy and peaceful.
She rose slowly, gracefully, to her full 5 feet and 3 inches; she was going to get through this. She looked at her scars, long and ugly, no one knew how she got the scars, she would never forget. It had been a horrible experience, but she had learned that looks can be deceiving, just like this elder can be deceiving.
"Come." One word. one gruff word and she followed as if there was nothing wrong in the world. She would be watchful, patient, and she wouldn't leave without answers; she would give this elder her doubts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Five lives, each scattered across the land, yet all united under a single sunset.
Five lives, each following a different road, yet all of their paths were fated to interwine.
Five lives, each different in nature and form, each with a different purpose, and each with different expectations for tomorrow, yet for all of them, the coming day was the dawning a journey destined to change the vast forest known as the Pentaglade.

A PlanMature
With Acaeb out of commission and with the wounded, the refugees, and Kaer travelled just far enough away from the battle ground that they would not be put under attack again. As they set up camp, Acaeb was still out cold but he was the new here of the people. Kaer was a little put out by the whole idea but on the other hand it was a load of his shoulders, and hell did that man deserve the title. The Dwarves were also warmly accepted much to his relief because they were at this point quarrelling away from him. That didn't mean he didn't enjoy their company, Kaer was just unsure to the amount of arguing those two dished before he went mad.
Kaer put his feet out and leaned on his bedroll that was resting on the wheels of a caravan, some distance away from the refugees who had taken up brief celebration for the moment. He thought about the Immortal, Sigurd, and Racieus, he wondered how had thier ventures panned out so far? Would he cross paths with them again? Something told him he would, under which circumstance he did not know.
Then the thoughts of what he was to do after he had brought this group of Reffugees to Daerdun? He had already decided he would not stay there, no that would not assure total protection for them. He had to take it a step further, and put his skills to good use by turning this war around. He had to find a way to get the dwarves, and elves to work together or otherwise there wasn't a future, but neither one of the leading bodies would allow him or anyone not part of their nation in. His smacked his fist to the ground. It was as if someone or many were working on the inside spreading fear! As if the his enemy was already a step ahead of them! As Kaer was deep in thought he did not realize the wizard approaching him, from the left. Although Kaer was fairly silent on his feet anyways.
"Something the matter?" He broke the silence.
"Huh? What! Your awake?" Kaer said in surprise," I didn't even hear you walk over here."
" Well, your were fairly Preoccupied in thought, so it was easy to catch you off guard. And yes I am awake, but still very tired."
"I see, that spell must have taken a lot out of you. Still it was in the very most most amazing spell I have seen in action, and trust me that is a compliment I had a very skilled master." Kaer said," Also I'm not sure if you already know, but your the new town hero, so depending if you dislike attention I would be discrete."
Acaeb gave a slight laugh before muttering," A hero am I now? So Half Elf, or Kaer..."
"You can call me by name." Kaer said warmly.
"Kaer what troubles you? and don't lie it is quite obvious."Acaeb spoke softly but with a commanding tone.
"Well. I was thinking about my next move after getting these Refugee's to Daerdun, I needed to find a way to make myself of use in this war effort. But I'm afraid that both Dwarves and Elves have isolated eachother and will soon fall. I feel like the enemy has already made sure they will not mobilize themselves, by streaking fear from the heart of these two Nations. They must stand united, or they will fall. How am I supposed to accomplish such a task. I am but a Half Elf of no consequence to anyone."Kaer said trying to hold back the frustration in his voice.
"Well, you forget one other power, that will at least allow a meeting, although I can't guarantee it will be civilized but it would be entirely possible." Acaeb said with little thought to the answer of Kaer's problem.
"Who or what do you speak of?" Kaer said giving Acaeb a look of desperation and suspicion.
"The Barbarians of course, you may have thought the orcs would have already eliminated but I have from many sources heard that they are still roaming Northern Plains. I'm sure they would lend their strength in return of their freedom."
"I can't promise them anything." Kaer snorted," I am no leader Acaeb, these people only follow me because no one else was brave enough for the position."
"Sometimes that is all that is needed to lead my friend. If we can get the Barbarians allegiance, and by the time we return here, I'm sure that many would have heard our names. Perhaps then we can wake up the sleeping leaders of this world before its too late."
" I think you're right. Besides doing that is better than rallying these already tired people to a war they can not possibly win alone."
"No, they have done their part for now." Acaeb said turning away from Kaer," It won't just be as easy as uniting the strongest military forces one more, Kaer, but for now its the best thing we can do."

Walk Away
(A poem I wrote to a friend in a verse-conversation we had)
And if today, a star falling from the heavens
Should set your whole body aflame,
I will not sit by to burn along;
I shall only deign to walk away.
Forgive me child, I mean you no harm,
Forgive me child, for I merely want to live.
And you are a flame that shall
Burn evermore-I wither away, I wither away.

An administrator, liquidator or receiver must make a 'prescribed part' of the company's net property available for the satisfaction of unsecured debts. The amount of the prescribed part will depend upon the amount of the company's assets that are realised but is subject to a maximum of £600,000. The prescribed part must not be distributed to the proprietor of a floating charge unless the claims of unsecured creditors have been satisfied and there is a surplus.
The courts have established that a creditor, having made a secured recovery, cannot share in the prescribed part in respect of its unsecured shortfall and that a secured creditor can share in the prescribed part if it releases its security and proves as an unsecured creditor.
The recent High Court decision of Re JT Frith Ltd has shown how senior secured creditors may be able to participate in the prescribed part while at the same time retaining their security…

tire rotation
had my car in for service yesterday.
its one year old. 5,000 miles.
they had to do a minor repair on the driver seat.
i requested an oil change and tire rotation.
i also asked to reprogram the stop start button to go to last setting on startup.
came away 2 out of 4.
oil change,reprogram,no problem.
tire rotation,advised they dont do them.
reason given. it causes more problems then it solves. dont know exactly what that means.
i called good year. they said rotate them. tommorow il call the service manager and get more info on why bmw wont rotate them. if they still refuse,and dont provide an explanation that makes any sense,il just get it done on the outside.
is tire rotation or lack of it a bmw policy or a dealership policy?
the seat repair another disappointment.
from delivery i had a horizontal crease in the leather of the bolster panel.
service manager inspected it claimed it wasnt the leather that was creased it was the foam underneath the covering that was causing the crease. he ordered the new foam. it came in he installed it. i picked up the car the crease is still in the leather. the right thing would have been to order and replace the foam and the covering. they chose not to,now the panel with the visible crease looks the same as it did before the repair. i have new foam that i cant see and an old crease in the leather that i can.
one other point worth mentioning.
i was given a 528 loaner .
getting in and out the wheel would go up for easier exit from the car,and would lower back into position when starting up the car.i blieve it called its called the easy entry exit feature. i never even knew i had it.i was aware i had a power adjustable wheel,but it seems the position i keep my wheel set at does not engage the feature.

Totally Unexpected
"You're my perfect little princess." Joseph said mockingly trying to imitate Grendel's voice.
Frank and Joseph fell down in laughter.
"Come on you guys. You know I didn't mean that," Grendel countered while he was digging his knife through the meat. They were all eating dinner at home after the crazy morning at work.
"Really now? It didn't sound that way at all. Unless you want to quit this job and be an actor. I find you to be pretty good." Joseph managed to sit properly and started to chow down.
"Guys, stop it already. You know what I mean. But can you explain why Eva was happy and sad when I sad that? Her look totally changed."

From RTFMwiki
This tutorial is based upon MPlayer-20041106 (CVS version). The reason I state this is that over the last year or so MPlayer has changed certain commands. This version stated above can be downloaded from my ftp server should you have issues with your own version.
This tutorial is not a tutorial of how to use MPlayer, but how to use MEncoder to convert a full DVD from +- 6GB into an MPEG-4 (also known incorrectly as DivX) file of +- 700MB's. I presume that you do have knowledge of the console (basic commands).
Also I presume you have a working installation of MPlayer (with MP3 (lame) support and libavcodec built in, as described in the tutorial MPlayer Installation. If not, please refer to that document before going any further as it will not work is you are missing anything.
MPlayer comes with a very handy tool called MEncoder, which is used to convert one video/audio stream into another. It uses console commands for this (there are GUI's for it, but you will have to search yourself for those). MEncoder, although supporting several different codecs, is designed around the FFmpeg's libavcodec, which provides superior quality and speed.
There are of course several ways to rip a DVD to MPEG-4, but I will explain the method that I personally use, describing the technique and use.
Calculate the bitrate to use.
So we have a working MPlayer/MEncoder with DVD support now, so the next step is to rip it to your harddrive. Of course I will not suggest ripping an entire DVD each time to your harddrive each time you want to test something. The simpler solution to this is to rip just one chapter, otherwise you have to wait several hours each time you want to see how the result turns out.
Ok, so we need to work out a bitrate for the Video. Why you ask? Well, bitrate is the quality of the video... the higher the quality, the bigger the output filesize is. These are DIRECTLY linked!
I wrote a simple QT program to do this called DivXcalc, and it works very well. Working out bitrates is not as simple as 1-2-3, namely because you are working with very large numbers. Your standard sizes are worked out normally in MB's, which turn out to be 1024 bits per Kb. But both DivX (4 and upwards) and MP3 work in kb, which is actually 1000 bits. So to make things simple I created a simple QT bitrate calculator.
From my findings, an audio bitrate of 96kb/s is more than sufficient for a movie. Many prople use 128kb/s for the MP3 track, however this is in my opinion a big waste of space. Remember, for every MB of extra audio, you have to reduce your video bitrate, so better sound = worse video. If you are ripping a music-video I would then say use 128kb/s audio, otherwise, like I have just said, 96kb/s is more then sufficient!
Also, if you would like to burn your DVD rip to CD, let's say a 700MB CD, I suggest chosing a CD size of 680MB's in the calculation. This gives a bit more room to play with, because there is nothing more annoying than waiting 6 hours for a film to be ripped, and after all that it's just a little too big to fit on one CD.
Once you have worked out a suitable rate, we can take the next step for your MPEG-4 rip with mencoder.
Rip a 16:9 DVD to MPEG-4 with a 3 pass rip
Why did I choose a 16:9? Well, because I had to choose an example, and most DVD films are in this format. This does not mean that other formats don't work, but they just don't work with my example as my examples use scaling, and the scaling given here is for the 16:9 format. These are also "just examples", but as you read below you may get some more understanding of the ins_and_outs of mencoder.
When scaling down your movie, make sure that the values chosen are dividable by 16!
Why do I choose a 3 pass rip? Well, a DVD can be ripped in a single go. Mencoder does ripping on_the_fly, so it doesn't need to first copy all the vob files to your harddrive (several Gigabytes), but simply reads the DVD, and writes the MPEG-4 (*.avi) file. The reason I choose a 3 pass rip is simple because ripping the video twice gives much better quality. A 3-Pass rip simply means that the audio gets ripped once, and afterwards the video get's ripped twice. This saves a lot of time ripping the audio from a 131 minute (or whatever) film as the audio doesn't get any better or worse with more rips... . it remains the same.
This is the time consuming part of the whole process. To explain this best I am going to take a DVD of mine as an example (The Matrix [1999 ~ 131 minutes]). This film is in fact also 16:9, hence the examples.
Using DivX Calc it returned the results as:
CD Length / File size 680 MB's
Movie Length (minutes) 131
MP3 Bitrate (kb/s) 96
MPEG-4 Bitrate 629
I suggest you read though the following examples and explanations before actually trying it, as this may save you a lot of time.
For my example (The Matrix), the main film track is located on track 1. I used an audio bitrate of 96kb/s, and as DivX Calc stated, I used a video bitrate of 629.
The 3 commands I used were as follows, and I will explain them below:
mencoder dvd://1 -aid 128 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=96:cbr:vol=6 -ovc frameno -o frameno.avi
mencoder dvd://1 -sws 2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=629:vpass=1 \
-oac copy -vf crop=720:346:0:154,scale=704:304 -o Matrix.avi
mencoder dvd://1 -sws 2 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=629:vpass=2 \
-oac copy -vf crop=720:346:0:154,scale=704:304 -o Matrix.avi
Short Explanation

-o Matrix.avi
Longer Explanation
1) On the first rip, all I ripped was the audio. I told mencoder to rip the whole first track of the DVD (the whole film therfore) into MP3 format using LAME and a constant bitrate of 96kbits/s. You can use a variable bitrate, but because this option is variable, you will then always have to rip the audio first, see the size of the audio file and subtract it from the total size you want to achive. I suggest always using CBR though.
I had to state "-aid 128" with The Matrix because it jumps for some reason to German each time. "-aid 128" by standard is English. Read man mencoder and man mplayer for other options.
I also increased the output volume to "6" because ripping DVD's seems to reduce the volume somewhat. This option isn't a neccesity, but is handy when one has to turn the speakers / TV on loud just to hear what's going on :-) If you don't want it, just leave it out.
The output of the first rip was outputted to the file "frameno.avi". This is necessary if you want to rely on mencoder's defaults. This is a pure audio track, and can be played with mplayer after it's rip, but will only play audio of course. After the whole rip (all Passes), this file can be deleted as it's contents would have been merged into the final Matrix.avi file.
2) On the second rip, which is actually the first Video rip, I told mencoder to rip just the video file and merge the audio track into it. I tried to get the best quality possible as 629 bits per second is extremely low for MPEG-4, however it does make it possible to put a movie of over 2 hours long onto 1 CD, with great quality!
I chose the video codec mpeg4, which is standard for MPEG-4. Libavcodec has a very advanced codec which can be compared to DivX 5 Pro. The only noticiable difference is that libvcodec is a lot faster, and of course open source.
The vpass=1 tells mencoder that this is the first video pass. What mencoder does here is to rip the video (merging the audio), and at the same time it writes a log file in the same directory called "divx2pass.log". This is an important log file, which logs the films movements and so on. On the second rip mencoder will read this file while encoding, and will in turn produce a better quality picture as it will be prepared in advance for sudden movements or color change, the 2 things producing a terrible picture with encoding.
-vf scale=704:304 is something I use standard. These measurements (pixels) are a scaled-down version of a standard 16:9 movie, and must be dividable by 16. You probably will find that these values can be used for almost every 16:9 DVD. It produces a descent size correctly scaled down. Again, with my DVD of The Matrix the scaling totally sucks. If I rip without scaling, it stretches the picture to horrible proportians. If your movie is a 4:3 video you can use a scale of something like 400:300 or whatever, as long as it stays in proportion.
crop=720:346:0:154 is what I used for The Matrix. This is used acually only to cut out the black borders above and below the film. Although it doesn't use much space, it still isn't neccesary to have these black borders. It seems to me that each film is different here, but fortunately mencoder has a very handy built_in feature, called "cropdetect". This feature automatically detects the black borders, and gives you the measurements where to crop the film. To use it, first determine what scaling you want, then you have to replace what I have as "crop=720:346:0:154" with "cropdetect", like
mencoder dvd://1 ... ... -vf cropdetect,scale=704:304 .... ....
This will output something like:
- Code: Select all
audiocodec: framecopy (format=55 chans=2 rate=48000 bits=0 bps=12000 sample=1)
Writing AVI header...

crop area: X: 0..719 Y: 154..499 (-vf crop=720:346:0:154)00 [0:96]
After several seconds (5-10) I see that -vf crop=720:346:0:154 keeps repeating itself. Press Control+c (CTRL c) to cancel this mencoder process. Mencoder will not actually output any file here, but simply the advised crop settings. Use these crop settings in your rip.
3) The last rip simply does what the first Video Rip (second rip altogether) did, except that it has a log file to go by. This logfile warns mencoder where to be prepared for sudden movements / color changes and so on.
The options here must be EXACTLY the same as the first pass, except that "vpass=1" must become "vpass=2"
Well, that concludes my "short" explanation as to how to rip a DVD to MPEG-4 using mencoder. I must emphasize to you to please give the MPlayer Docs a read some time. They contain lots of information which can be very useful. The only reason I wrote this tutorial is because there is just too much in the documentation to remember, and this confuses so many people.
Please remember that the values I used in this tutorial vary with each rip you might want to do. That is fine, as there are no 2 DVDs the same. You will have to experiment yourself a bit to find the best values for your rip. Scaling might be different, cropping most likely will be different, and of course the MPEG-4 bitrate you require will almost definitely always be different (based on the length of the film and audio quality used).
Happy ripping
Just in case you want to automate this process a little, here's the above advice taken together as a Bourne shell script. Remember, only use this in a totally legal way:
- Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh -x
# three-pass rips the indicated title from the indicated DVD (image) at the
# indicated bit rate and sends the output to the indicated file with the
# output video native horizontal pixel width at the indicated size
# of course, you should only use this on DVDs you personally own for making a
# single backup copy for archival purposes ;)
if [ "0$1" = "0-h" -o "0$1" = "0--help" ] ; then
echo 'Usage: ripdvd [[[[[image_path] title_number] bitrate] output_file] x-size]'
echo -e '\n\tdevice/path to pre-ripped directory = /dev/dvd\n\ttitle number = 1'
echo -e '\tbitrate = 1500\n\toutput file = dvd.avi\n\toutput x-size = 512'
exit 1
if [ "0$1" != "0" ] ; then
if [ "0$2" != "0" ] ; then
if [ "0$3" != "0" ] ; then
if [ "0$4" != "0" ] ; then
if [ "0$5" != "0" ] ; then

I had visited here with a local guide -- beautiful area with lots of cultural intricacies that my Chinese local guide explained to me. Albeit, compared with other attractions, it is quite small. There are some paid areas that you could also access, but I decided not to go.
Check out some of their stores where you can dress up...
When we arrived in this city we didn't think we had enough time here as it is so beautiful. There is so much history here and so much to do. We visited two temples and the ancient city wall, that is a lovely night life here as well with lots of shops and lots of places to visit in the...
Not sure why tripadvisor ever bother reviewing such aweful place, it is not even a proper place to walk around and hang out. Awfully dirty, full of uncivilized local citizens that makes the place extremely tourist unfriendly.
Don't visit this place as it will totally change your view (to worse) about china.
Lots of lovely buildings to look at here at some beautiful gardens. Our guide told us lots of stories and explanations about how the people lived here and it was all amazing

Police officials to talk about immigration reform during panel discussion
Published: Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 7:25 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 7:25 a.m.
MIAMI Leading law enforcement officials from across the nation are advocating for a stronger voice in immigration reform at a panel discussion in Miami.
Authorities from police departments at the center of the immigration problem are scheduled to speak at the panel Wednesday morning: Chief John Timoney, of Miami; Chief Art Acevedo, of Austin, Texas; and former Chief Art Venegas, of Sacramento, Calif. Acevedo is also head of the National Latino Peace Officers Association.
The panel comes after recent indications that immigration reform efforts from the federal government might not be far off. President Barack Obama met Thursday with members of both political parties to discuss immigration and said that everyone agrees the system needs to be fixed.

Zinetula Bilyaletdinov: Russian head coach following loss to Finland: "I won't exist any more, since you will have eaten me."
Geege Schuman stashed this in Russia
Stashed in: Olympics!, Russia and Friends
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
The Q&A session that best sums things up for Bilyaletdinov, who as a member of the 1980 USSR team has his fair share of experience dealing with tough losses on the international stage, was this one: (via the Wall Street Journal)
Q: What future, if any, do you see for your own work and for your coaching staff? Because, you know, your predecessor was eaten alive after the Olympics—
A: Well then, eat me alive right now—
Q: No, I mean—
A: Eat me, and I won't be here anymore.
Q: But we have the world championship coming up!
A: Well then, there will be a different coach because I won't exist any more, since you will have eaten me.
Q: But you're staying, aren't you?
A: Yes, I will remain living.

Item description for Iron Man: The Cinema of Shinya Tsukamoto by Tom Mes...With Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Tetsuo II: Body Hammer, Tokyo Fist and Bullet Ballet, Shinya Tsukamoto has become one of the most widely praised filmmakers in Japan today. Edgy, intense and overwhelming, Tsukamoto's films are nightmarish visions of a world in which man's greatest enemy is his own environment of cold concrete and twisted technology. His debut film, the legendary cyberpunk masterpiece Tetsuo: The Iron Man, saw him compared to David Lynch, David Cronenberg and Ridley Scott. The film rejuvenated the Japanese film industry, paving the way for an entire generation of young Japanese directors Hideo Nakata (The Ring) and Takeshi Kitano (Zatoichi). It also deeply influenced Western filmmakers as diverse as Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill), David Fincher (Fight Club) and the Wachowski Brothers (The Matrix). * Illustrated with hundreds of stills, behind-the-scenes pictures and rare photographs from Tsukamoto's private collection
Promise Angels is dedicated to bringing you great books at great prices. Whether you read for entertainment, to learn, or for literacy - you will find what you want at promiseangels.com!

Practice Area: Criminal defense
Outcome: Criminal charge dismissed
Description: My client was arrested and charged with Fraudulent Use of a Credit Card following an alleged incident at a store on Route 17 in Paramus. Due to the nature of the charge (indictable/felony-level), it was sent up to the Bergen County Superior Court for handling. This was most concerning for my client because of his pending immigration issues. Initially, we were able to get the case downgraded and sent back to the Paramus Municipal Court for handling. There, we were able to demonstrate to the Municipal Prosecutor that critical pieces of evidence were lacking. When the matter was listed for trial, the State could not even produce a witness from the store. Accordingly, the charge was outright dismissed.

Pre-Opening Corn Market Report for 12/27/2011
March corn was closed overnight due to the holidays and the first indication of price direction for this week will come from the 9:30 regular US opening trade. Outside market forces are mixed to somewhat restrictive to start the session today, but the trade appears to be poised to focus intensely on the threat of adverse South American crop conditions. While March corn saw a choppy and two-sided trade at times last Friday, it did manage to close up for the day and it also closed higher for the sixth session in a row. The corn market also managed to post the highest close since November 17th, and a large portion of the bull case continues to flow from fears of hot and dry in Argentina and parts of Brazil. With the initial outlook for this calls for continued stress on corn from high temps and dry conditions, the trade might be inclined to build in even more weather premium into prices. Talk of a high pressure ridge in Argentina and little in the way of noted rain events for the next 10 days could leave the South American weather as the main driving force for US corn prices for most of this week. Another element that might provide support to corn prices is the fact that the Hogs and Pigs report last week showed higher than expected supply at 2% above last year, which might be seen as supportive of improved feed use. A fear of slack demand from China was partially countervailed by news of some minor winter production losses in Russia and some deterioration in Ukraine crop conditions. The Commitments of Traders reports as of December 20th showed Non-Commercial traders were net long 133,984 contracts, a decrease of 5,704 contracts for the week. The long liquidation selling trend is seen as a short-term negative force. Non-Commercial and Non-reportable combined traders held a net long position of 33,189 contracts, down 5,882 for the week. Commodity Index traders held a net long position of 363,490 contracts, up 6,155 contracts for the week. The aggressive buying from index funds more than offset the selling from specs. Net weekly export sales for corn came in at 715,000 metric tonnes for the current marketing year and 238,000 for the next marketing year for a total of 953,000 which was well above trade expectations. Cumulative corn sales stand at 59.2% of the USDA forecast for 2011/2012 (current) marketing year versus a 5 year average of 50.3%. Sales of 445,000 metric tonnes are needed each week to reach the USDA forecast. Some producer selling was noted on the rally Friday, and prices eased off of the midday highs into the close. March corn was up as much as 48 3/4 cents from Thursday's lows.

The Battle Mountain Gold Company in Houston said today that it had agreed to merge with Hemlo Gold Mines of Toronto in a $1.5 billion stock swap that would create one of North America's largest gold producers.
The new company, which will be based in Houston and retain the Battle Mountain name, expects to produce over a million ounces of gold this year, with mines operating in the United States, Canada, Chile, Bolivia, Australia and West Africa.
Under the terms of the agreement -- which are subject to shareholder approval and regulatory review, both in the United States and in Canada -- Battle Mountain will offer 1.48 shares of its stock for each share of Hemlo, a value of about $15.36 for each Hemlo share based on today's Battle Mountain closing price of $10.375 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Hemlo closed at $12.75 a share, up 25 cents, in trading on the American Stock Exchange.
Noranda Inc. in Toronto, which owns 44.1 percent of Hemlo's shares, said in a statement released today that it would support the merger. The transaction is expected to be completed in June, at which time Noranda will own about 28 percent of the new company's outstanding shares.Continue reading the main story
Karl E. Elers, chairman and chief executive of Battle Mountain, and Ian Bayer, president of Hemlo, issued a joint statement today saying they expected Battle Mountain to become "one of the leading gold mining companies in the world and a top-tier player in the industry."
Lester Van Dyke, a spokesman for Battle Mountain, said the merger should produce substantial savings for the two companies and allow the new entity to expand its exploration around the world. "There are going to be some operating synergies, but also a strong synergy in the exploration area," he said. "The two companies combined will be able to be more aggressive than in the past."
Battle Mountain said that the newly formed company would bring its production costs down to $185 "per equivalent ounce" in 1996, making it one of the lowest cost gold producers in North America.
Last year, Mr. Van Dyke said, Battle Mountain produced about 580,000 ounces of gold, a company record, while Hemlo produced 264,000 ounces. The Barrick Gold Corporation, the largest producer of gold in North America, produced more than three million ounces.
Battle Mountain said the combined company would have six new mines in development and several high-quality, low-cost operations, including the Golden Giant mine in Canada and the Kori Kollo Gold Project in Bolivia. The merger should produce about 25 percent more gold by 1998, the company said. About 60 percent of its current gold production is from North American operations.
By merging with Hemlo, Battle Mountain would nearly double it size. Last April, the company's bid to merge with the Crown Resources Corporation, a mining company based in Denver, failed after Crown rejected a $68 million bid.
However, when the merger with Hemlo is completed, Battle Mountain will have a much larger operation, with nine gold mines in five countries and exploration programs around the world. Under the new agreement, Mr. Elers will serve as chairman of Battle Mountain and Mr. Bayer will become president. In addition, Battle Mountain's board of directors will expand to 12 positions, 6 of which will be designated by Hemlo.Continue reading the main story

Location: Application Technology Research
Project Number: 5082-21000-017-07-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Aug 1, 2013
End Date: Jul 31, 2018
Determine optimum N:P:K ratios for managing plant growth on bedding and potted flowering plants and determine postharvest effects of such fertilizer regimes.
These studies are part of a long term project to determine optimum nutritional and plant growth management regimes for production of floriculture crops and to determine the postharvest effects of the production regimes and handling procedures. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the primary nutrients that have the greatest impact on plant growth. Plugs of two bedding and potted flowering plant species will be grown using a complete fertilizer until transplanting and for two weeks after transplanting in the final container. After transplanting, plants will be fertigated using various ratios of N:P:K (1:0.2:1, 1:0.2:0.75; 1:0.2:0.5; 1:0.2:0.25, 1:0.2:0; 1:0.4:1; 1:0.1:1; 1:0:1) until plants reach marketable stage. Nitrogen will be set at 150 mg L-1 N. Micronutrient levels will be similar among the treatments. Data collected at termination of the production phase will include date of anthesis, plant height and diameter, overall quality, tissue nutrient values, substrate nutrient values, and foliar SPAD readings. After the production phase is completed plants will be stored in boxes for two days at 15°C. Data collected after unboxing will include number of yellow/abscised leaves and number of abscised flowers. Bedding plants will be placed under 70% shade in a polyethylene covered greenhouse simulating a commercial garden center. To simulate a home environment potted flowering plants will be placed in a postharvest evaluation room maintained at 21 ±2°C and 60±10% relative humidity under a PAR flux of approximately 20 mol•m-2•s-1 light from white fluorescent tubes at bench level on a daily 12 h•d-1. Data will be collected after 7 days will include number of yellow/abscised leaves, number of abscised flowers, and SPAD readings.
