Ok , I get the drift , they will have to stay in the bed , we will stay in the cab !

You are going to be in your bed all by yourself.

Now you want me in the bed with Dizzy and Angelwings ?
Good Golly Hope they keep me warm as its going to be cool up on that hill in the bed of my truck watching those races

Angelwings,shoves Dizzy in the back of the truck throws n a blanket for Spray. Thats gonna cost ya Spray! When she wakes up blame Trallyus. Gotta get gone b4 Shouse gets here.

Ann started it , Kept on hinting , and hinting didnt she
She brought you 2 into it all
Dont blame me , I was just doing as she hinted

I dont know anything Im on drugs....

This is so cool
I hope they put this compression technology out in the public as it would be nice to be able to compress my recordings even better then divx that I currently use with replay tv

I kind of understand it and see why it will be good for you Tral but I simply buy the DVD if I`m that interested in anything.

I must say that the shenanigans of the others were nothing to do with me....I was asleep and totally innocent of attempting to derail a thread. This time.

Well I usally buy the dvd as well dizzy but think what this could do for the dvd industry The reason now for the whole blue ray versus high def dvd format is to create bigger sized dvd types to hold more content since shows encoded with hi def encoding are usally alot bigger then normal dvd encoding.

If the company has some truth in this compression technology , they could license their compression tech to the dvd industry and make it so high definition dvds fit on normal dvds roms and put the brakes on the whole blue ray debate

Not to mention cutting down how many cds ship with season long dvd sets like firefly Think of the promises this has as the whole series of shows that used to take 4 normal dvds could be shrunk down to 1 or 2 would really be nice.

They said they could shrink a 700 meg file down to 50 megs with this scheme. Doing the math, I think that is over a 90% compression ratio which would be great, especially if it could be worked in to streaming technology. Think of bandwidth folks could save if that was possible Dial uppers could actually watch shows over the net without worry

And don't forget folks like me that record shows with their computer that are about 3 gigs per hour long shows. As it is now I use divx to shrink my shows to about 2/3rds of that to about 1 gig of space but if what they say is true I could shrink that size even further using their scheme

I hope the company is not bsing folks as that type compression scheme would have alot of uses just like mp3 did over wav formats

Thanks for the lesson, I get it now.

The only problem is that if you were to be able to get high-def quality shrunk down to fit on a standard DVD player then you would need a new DVD player that could play the movie. It would have to know how to read that new format. Unless they can shrink it using the EV compression and then reencode it using MPEG2 or 4. I think that would reinflate the filesize back up too high.

Good behavior has earned the BTK serial killer the privilege to watch television, listen to the radio, read and draw in his prison cell.

That SOB should be hung , hes in the next town from me in prison . And our damn news wont let the story DIE , never been so sick of BTK in all my life !
I dont think he will stay alive much longer , if he goes into the unprotected area !

Everytime they talk about him and show the BTK initials I immediately think of Burget King

Smacks of James Bond type behaviour or some sort of guy that is undercover

Sure doesn't sound like normal behavior to me

I think something stinks about this.
LEXINGTON
Father Whose Son Died After He Left Him In Hot Vehicle Is Sentenced To Probation, Rehab

The man whose nine-month-old son died after he left him for hours in a hot car last August was sentenced in a Lexington courtroom Friday afternoon to five years of probation and a six-month stay in a rehab center.

Leon T. Jewell, 36, was originally charged with murder in the death of his son, Daniel, on August 1, but pleaded guilty to a lesser second-degree manslaughter charge in March.

The boy was found by a family member in a locked sport-utility vehicle outside the home. With the guilty plea, the Commonwealth's attorney recommended a seven-year sentence to the judge.

On Friday, that seven-year sentence was probated. Jewell must also stays in custody until he is accepted and admitted into a Mississippi rehab center, where he will have to stay for six months. A 90-day stay at the center costs $20,000. Jewell's family has agreed to pay.

A search warrant obtained by LEX 18 News shows that police believed that drugs or alcohol played a role in the infant's death. In the search warrant, detectives outline behind the scenes activities - permission to search the home, the vehicle, even the accused. The evidence collected was listed individually, and with great detail. Investigators found baby clothes downstairs in the home, three empty beer cans - two found in trash cans inside, one in the garbage outside - and three empty bottles of vodka found in the trash outside the house.

Police also seized three bottles of medicine found in the bathroom. The warrant ends by listing a detailed description of DUI kits used - all specimens taken from Jewell.

The coroner determined that Daniel Jewell died from hyperthermia. Hyperthermia is an acute condition resulting from excessive exposure to heat. The high temperature was 94 August 1 in Lexington.

The General Assembly stiffened penalties for leaving children unattended in cars after a 1999 case that resulted in the death of a child.

Bryan Puckett, the 11-month-old son of William and Michelle Puckett of Winchester, died after his baby sitter left him in a closed car on an 82-degree day in Lexington.

Karen Murphy, the baby sitter, was sentenced to 13 years in prison. Murphy has twice tried to appeal the verdict, but lost both times.

Sounds like the guy has money or connection in office or both
