The German tuner Asma Design made maybe the most, let's say it "interesting", creation of this year: the Asma Perfectus! The new Asma Perfectus is based on the Mercedes-Benz SLR but is definitely not perfect, as its name suggests it. As you can see from the photos the vehicle received a new body kit consisting in a front grille, front bumper, new side sills, extended rear fenders, a rear boot lip and a new rear bumper with integrated air diffuser.
The kit is completed by the new black wheels. The surprise continues under the hood, where with the help of a modified compressor, some engine remapping and a new exhaust system, the V8 engine was upgraded from 626 hp to an impressive 700 hp and 885 Nm of torque making it capable to achieve a top speed of 350 km/h or 217 mph. Price of the vehicle: EUR 1,000,000... Now honestly what would you choose? This vehicle or a Bugatti Veyron?

I will take a guess that if you are reader of this blog you probably have your own business full time or a side business that is growing to be full time. Taking the leap and being a full time entrepreneur is a bit jarring on the somewhat normal schedule you might have or have had as a 9 to 5 cubicle dweller. Granted, as a full time employee you are probably "expected" to work long hours to get the job done so I do empathize.
However, as a business owner, the business is always calling for something – one more email, working on Sunday afternoon to do the books, write this proposal, etc. Since you are where the buck stops you are usually the one that has to do the task. Often, new entrepreneurs feel the pressure to do everything and do it now. The lines of when you are working, especially if your office is located at home is trying and you must have the discipline to separate them. If you don't do this, there is one end result…Burnout.
Phases of Burnout
I recently came across this article on Web Worker Daily, "Regain Balance and Avoid Burnout". It turned me on to a great article on A List Apart by Scott Boms called "Burnout". That article examines the stress, exhaustion and illness often associated with web work. Burnout is not just stress, he notes, but is caused by an "imbalance in an individual's personal goals, ideals, and needs as related to their job." Here is their list of burnout phases that a person goes through:
They identified phases, several of which I bet sound familiar, are:
- A compulsion to prove oneself
- Working harder
- Neglecting one's own needs
- Displacement of conflict (the person does not realize the root cause of the distress)
- Revision of values (friends, family, hobbies, etc., are dismissed)
- Denial of emerging problems (cynicism, aggression, and frustration become apparent)
- Withdrawal from social contexts, potential for alcohol or drug abuse
- Behavioral changes become more visible to others
- Inner emptiness
- Depression
- Burnout syndrome (including suicidal thoughts and complete mental and physical collapse) [2]
As they say in the article, tt's important to note that burnout is not the same as depression, though there are shared characteristics that blur the distinction; burnout can be brought on by fits of depression or may lead to depression itself.
Ways to Avoid Burnout and Get Your Balance Back
Here is what the Web Worker Daily article recommends:
Google+Stop (or at least slow down). When you realize you're suffering with burnout, it's important to start taking steps to reduce the amount of work you're doing. Cut down on the hours that you're working, use sick days, or take a vacation.
Set boundaries and expectations. When you're no longer working a regular 9-to-5 schedule you need to set boundaries between your work and home lives (see my previous post "Mark the End of the Day and Finish on Time"). It's also important to manage your clients' expectations. As Boms notes, when you start answering client email at 10pm, it sets a precedent that is then hard to undo.
Create a daily routine. Most people have a time of day when they work most effectively. Organize your day around these times (see our previous post "Change Your Work Hours to Get More Done" for tips on how to do this).
Make time for numero uno. Sometimes it's hard to justify making time for yourself when there are so many demands on your day from bosses or clients, but everyone needs some "me time." Spend time with family, goof off, visit a gallery, play a game — whatever makes you happy.
Change your situation. Changing careers might be in the cards, but there are also plenty of steps you can take to improve your current one. Shake up your routine (tryworking from somewhere else, perhaps), offload responsibilities, or learn a new skill.
Rely on a good process. If your current process isn't working as well as it should, try another one. GTD works for me.

Francis introduced Ravin to Juan Dixon and Elton Brand and began helping to train them. At first, Ravin didn't charge for his work, but then his mom questioned him about it, saying: "In their eyes, you're only worth what they are willing to pay you."
Ravin brought a number of stratagems to the gym. There were, of course, his exercises, designed to improve conditioning and skills. He'll make a player dribble up and down the court with two balls at one time. He'll throw balls — one at a time — to both sides of a player and make him catch them on one bounce and shoot. The idea is to create a stressful enough workout such that the game itself comes more easily.
But for Ravin, training involves more than just physical exercises. To motivate his players, he provides Zen-like aphorisms that recall the mantras of Phil Jackson.
"Your greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up whenever you do."
"Toughness is character, not punching power."
But Ravin feels the greatest asset he brings to the table is emotional support. "I don't know Phil Jackson. I can just be me," he says. "I found that things worked better by adding spirituality and emotion and care along with the physical. These players aren't robots; they're people."
He adjusts each workout to the player's mood: "I don't have a manual to give you. It's day-to-day. It's a conversation. It's a message. It's a text message. It's a voice of encouragement, a pat on the back. It's not like I'm giving them a pill."
Consider Ravin's willingness to overlook J.R. Smith's persistent lateness. "I believe in him so much, what I felt for him was more frustration [than anger]," he comments. "I wanted [success] so much for him. He's an amazing human. I will never abandon him. I'll be there for him. He's a work in progress, like we all are."
Some coaches look askance at Ravin because of his relationship with players over whom they feel a sense of ownership.
"There's always a level of distrust. [Coaches want to know] 'who is that' and 'what's he doing.' That's the nature of professional sports," Ravin says. "I never concern myself with that. My only focus is to make these players better. I'm not trying to substitute for something; I'm just trying to complement whatever exists."

It is no secret that I am particularly fond of cemeteries. Unlike many people, I don't find them to be sad or spooky places. I love them for their park-like beauty, art, and architecture; and of course their history. After reading The Art of Memory: Historic Cemeteries of Grand Rapids, Michigan, I have to believe that its author, Thomas R. Dilley, feels the same way. The book is filled with beautiful photos of cemeteries, tombstones and mausoleums throughout Grand Rapids.
Dilley could have stopped there – many authors of cemetery books do - but the photos are just the beginning. The book deals mainly with the garden or park cemeteries of Grand Rapids, which first began to be established in the late nineteenth century. But this development is all put into perspective with an excellent history of burial and burial places going all the way back to the beginning of civilization. It goes on to tell the histories of the specific cemeteries and then further to explain the monuments themselves. For example, popular architectural styles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries - such as Greek Revival, Romanesque, Egyptian Revival, and Art Deco - are all represented in the tombstones and mausoleums of Grand Rapids, and Dilley explains their popularity and significance.
While the book includes a great deal of interesting Grand Rapids history, the insight provided into the evolution of cemetery design and tombstone architecture and symbolism will give you an understanding and appreciation for cemeteries anywhere in the country. You may find yourself picking up The Art of Memory for the beautiful images, but I guarantee you'll keep reading for the fascinating details.
With the holidays behind us, it's time to get serious about your genealogy research, and the local history room is full of resources to help you do just that! Whether you're just getting started, or have been at it for years, you can certainly benefit from a trip to the history room.You can't find a better place to dig up information on your Kalamazoo ancestors than our local information database. It includes more than four decades of full name and subject indexing of the Kalamazoo Gazette and well over 100 years of obituary/death story citations. But that's just the beginning – the database also includes indexing of local magazines and select Kalamazoo County newspapers, as well as citations for history room files and specific items in books in the history room collection. This includes portraits in many of the high school and college yearbooks.You don't need to have Kalamazoo roots to benefit from KPL's resources, either. We have hundreds of genealogy books, from instructional to vital records to compilations of ship passenger lists. In addition to Michigan, geographically our collection includes research volumes for Indiana and Ohio, New England, and the Mid-Atlantic States. We even have printed volumes for Canadian and European research. When you also consider our genealogy databases - Ancestry Library Edition, America's Genealogy Bank, Heritage Quest, and American Ancestors – KPL provides access to records from all over the world!Of course, there are many, many records that will never make it to a printed book or be included in a database, but billions of them have been microfilmed by Family Search. That is why KPL is a Family Search Affiliate Library. For a small fee, reels of microfilm can be borrowed from Family Search and sent here for viewing and printing or scanning with our digital microfilm readers. So what are you waiting for? Come on down to the history room and start researching!
If you read our Link newsletter or peruse the website from time to time, you probably know that KPL has hosted many wonderful local history programs in recent years. We've covered topics related to architecture, neighborhoods, women's history, shipwrecks, and even the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. All the local history programs have a Kalamazoo or Michigan focus. What you may not know is that most of these programs are recorded and the videos are made available on our website. Of course, nothing beats being at a program and having the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the presenter, but if you miss one, it's not too late to enjoy it.
Take a look at the recently posted video of WMU professor Brian Wilson presenting on the topic of his new book, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and the Religion of Biologic Living. I promise you will be fascinated (and then you'll want to go back and view any of the other programs that you missed)!
It's been a while since we posted an unidentified photo so this one has a bonus – an extra related photo. Both feature what appears to be at least three generations of a family posed in front of a house. One is taken from a distance, making the house fully visible. The house is brick and it is clearly in a rural setting. The family of nine adults and four children are spaced out across the photo. It appears to be a warm summer day with leaves fully out on trees and bushes, and windows open on the house. The children are posed with croquet mallets and balls as if they had just interrupted their game to have their photo taken.
The second photo gives a much clearer view of the family. They are tightly spaced in front of a porch on the right side of the house. Several of the women and children are wearing flowers pinned to their clothes. Styles indicate a date in the early 1890s.
Help us! Our local history photograph collection is a wonderful resource, but unfortunately not every photo comes to us with full details of the place, people, or date associated with it. For that reason, we are enlisting your help. If you have any idea who this family is, or if you recognize the house, let us know. But even if you don't, be sure to take a minute to enjoy these interesting old photos.
View all photos in the "unidentified" series.
One of the great things about KPL is that its collections are so vast, varied, and sometimes surprising. Our 107-year-old government documents collection yields some of the best surprises. A few years ago, we cataloged one of the real gems of the documents collection - the entire 128 volumes of The War of the Rebellion: A compilation of the official records of the Union and Confederate armies. This fully indexed set contains reports, correspondence, orders, etc. for all military operations of both the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War. You wouldn't think that could be beat, but the documents collection yielded something even more fascinating – the Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but wait until you see all the images inside. There are maps of battles, diagrams of forts, images of war-damaged buildings; as well as uniforms, weapons, wagons, boats and trains. The atlas provides a total visual history of the Civil War.
Check out the Flickr gallery of selected images from the Atlas!
If you haven't been to the history room recently, come by for a visit! You'll notice something different as soon as you get to the second floor when you see our beautiful new entrance. But that's just the beginning. The local history room has gone through a lot of changes over the last few months. From time to time we were noisy, a little dusty, and sometimes even closed; but the disruption has really paid off! We now have twice as much space, and everything we need to help with local history and genealogy research is easily accessible. Improvements to the history room include:
• Special collections conveniently separated for easy access, including: genealogy; city directories and phonebooks; maps and atlases; and yearbooks. • Microfilm, microfilm reader/printers, and hard copies of Kalamazoo Gazettes housed within the history room. • Print station is now located next to the computers. • Shelves have more room, making books easier to find and giving us room to grow!
Enjoy a few photos of the new history room and then come in and see it for yourself.
The Local History Room has had to close up for a couple of days while we get organized into our expanded space. Things are quite a mess right now, but soon we'll be enjoying more room and a great new layout.
Our collection isn't accessible at the moment, but don't forget that all the genealogy databases can be accessed from any of the computers in the Central Library and the branches, and there are many wonderful local history and genealogy books available in the circulating collection.
Welcome to the KPL Local History Community Calendar! Join us in investigating widely diverse Historical subjects presented by local historical societies, organizations, collectors, and preservationist groups. We list conferences, tours, meetings, special events, and large Southwest Michigan antique markets and extend our invitation to anyone interested in history to visit the Community Calendar on the KPL Local History Website. Scheduling an event or program of local historical nature? Complete an information form, or call 269.553.7843, and we will be happy to list your event on our calendar.
We have recently updated Our Local History Reference Collection with green dot stickers on books that have circulating copies. This means that any title in Local History with a green dot sticker has a duplicate that can be checked out. Patrons may simply look up the title in our catalogue or ask the Local History Reference person to find the location of the circulating copy. Patrons are welcome to put the title on reserve if it is checked out or only available in a branch library.
We are very fortunate to be able to continually add new books to the history room collection. They include items on local and regional history, Michigan history, and genealogy research techniques and materials. I enjoy searching for these items and perusing them when they are ready for shelving in the local history room. Occasionally a new book will really jump out at me and I will find myself totally absorbed. This happened with our newest addition to the collection for Irish genealogy research, Atlas of the Great Irish Famine by John Crowley. This big, beautiful book is full of gorgeous photographs and artwork related to Ireland; but its greatest feature is the dozens of maps detailing every aspect of population change, workhouse locations, housing types, employment, cemeteries, soup kitchens, migration… you name it, there's a map that explains it. However, it isn't just dry maps and figures. The impact on society is conveyed through written and oral accounts of the time, art, poetry, and in depth analysis. At over eight pounds and 700 pages, this reference book was not designed for cozy, cover-to-cover reading. But once you open it, you'll find yourself wanting to go back to explore it again and again.

pl2pm - Rough tool to translate Perl4 .pl files to Perl5 .pm modules.
pl2pm files
pl2pm is a tool to aid in the conversion of Perl4-style .pl library files to Perl5-style library modules. Usually, your old .pl file will still work fine and you should only use this tool if you plan to update your library to use some of the newer Perl 5 features, such as AutoLoading.
It's just a first step, but it's usually a good first step.

BATON ROUGE -The financial emergency that Southern University declared in October is showing up now as the Baton Rouge university begins to lay off tenured faculty members and staff.
Chancellor James Llorens said Friday that the immediate layoffs include fewer than 10 staff employees and tenured architecture professor John Delgado, who will lose his job as of Feb. 15. A few more tenured faculty cuts were expected this month, Llorens said, but a few resignations and retirements offset that need.
Reports say that 30 more tenured faculty members could receive termination notices in March.

I have been watching these WSOP 2012 videos. Sometimes there is a D

Poker Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for serious players and enthusiasts of poker. It's 100% free, no registration required.
It means his position is on the dealer button (hence the 'D'), which is the best position to have in Hold 'Em and Omaha games. This position is to the right of the small blind and is last to act on all postflop streets. |
When you see the "D" against a player's name, you can immediately assume that the player is positioned at the dealer button. In fact, anytime there is a "D" against the name of any player, it is only to denote this. For more rules and information on the game go HERE |

Daily petting, riding and cuddling hours are available from 15.00 to 19.00 hours with pony rides and a petting zoo. This not only delights and entertains our younger visitors, but also shortens their waiting time for Father Christmas. Special eye-catchers are also hidden everywhere at the market to keep children entertained and capture their imagination.
You can also look forward to all imaginable delicacies from traditional Tyrolean cuisine, of which Kitzbühel is particularly proud of. The enjoyment of warm culinary delights, from the brightly lit stalls with their numerous treasures and Christmas gifts, is always a special moment in the build up to Christmas and it warms the body as well as the mind in the crisp cold weather.
Many local musicians and choirs bring the sound of music to the market between 18.00-19.00 hours, providing a real treat for the ears, with St. Catherine's Church offering a delightful contrast to the daily hustle and bustle on the streets with its, "silent hours". You can let this hour of worship work on you each day from 19.00 to 20.00 hours, followed by the historic carillon in the church tower.
A Christmas market would be strange without the traditional Advent wreath candles and at 16.00 hours each day there is the ceremony for the lighting of the Advent wreath candles, that are lovingly crafted by hand over many hours.
On Christmas Eve at 15.00 hours, a Christmas reading will take place providing a special unique moment for all ages both young and old.
Heavenly Advent Rasmushof
Just five minutes from the centre of Kitzbühel, is a very different, more contemplative world. Heavenly Advent Rasmushof takes place directly beneath the finish line of the famous Streif racecourse with forty beautifully decorated fir trees, each with thousands of glittering Christmas decorations as a backdrop. Regional delicacies such as homemade bread with various spreads, fresh roasted chestnuts and mulled wine provide the perfect accompaniment. In addition, on weekends, you can look forward to traditional highlights such as, trumpet players, Carol singers, a children's afternoon, and a petting zoo.
Further details can be found by visiting: www.rasmushof.at
Heavenly Advent Rasmushof takes place from November 30th until December 21st, 2014.
Walk- in Advent Calendar, Reith
From December 1st to Christmas Eve, the holiday village of Reith is transformed into a giant walk in Advent calendar. One of the residents opens one of their, "windows", and with it their kitchen - an adorable idea! Guests are invited to keep up with the master of the house to enjoy mulled wine and cakes whilst listening to music and having a chat. All of the 24, "Advent windows", remain lit after opening until January 6th, 2014.
The Walk – in Advent Calendar takes place daily from December 1st to January 6th, between 17.00 - 22.00 hours.
Decorated doors open in Jochberg
The people of Jochberg are honoured to invite you to their, "Decorated open doors", evenings. From December 1st to 23rd, a different private host invites you into their home and between 1600 to 1800 hours it is possible to join in the fun and rub shoulders with the locals, experiencing the traditions of rural Christmas culture.

Meet Charles, The Somewhat Creepy Robot That Can Read Your Emotional State And Give Directions, Too
By Perry Michael Simon on December 23, 2010
Further proof that computers will ultimately replace, um, you: The IEEE has a blog post about Cambridge Professor Peter Robinson and his team, who are working on computers who… er, WHICH can tell your mental state by reading your body language, gestures, and tone of voice. Yeah, they're designed to sorta kinda read your mind. They've created a robotic head to do it, named and allegedly modeled after Charles Babbage, after trying a chimp head and a bad Elvis head. Of course, they're decades late, compared to Hymie the robot on the 100% factual television documentary series "Get Smart," or the highly perceptive Rosie on the early reality series "The Jetsons."
This video with Robinson explains the concept (including the flingoing of an annoying GPS unit) and how it works; the camera "reads" certain points on the subject's head and face, like the brows and lips, and on the body with a modified version of those motion-capture suits, and measures tone of speech, and ultimately figures out that you're angry or depressed or whatever. The robotic "Charles" is designed to respond to others in a manner befitting their mood, with the example shown involving "Charles" giving directions like an empathetic GPS.
If this DOES eliminate the Garmin GPS voice sighing "re-CAL-culating," I'm for it.
For comparison's sake, here's Hymie:

First things first. Call social services to apply for an orphan reuniting permit.
Once you have the proper credentials, simply find a fantastic suit jacket...such as the Hermes I was working on. Carry it around the store looking for its mate. Start in the men's, the most likely place. Don't overlook the potential for it to be improperly paired with another jacket or on the floor under the rack. Changing room racks. Womens racks.
Keep your fingers crossed and your hopes down. There is no match more often than not, especially at stores like goodwill who have a central distribution center.
This is pro advice.
The Huntsmans I found were orphan jackets at first and I was really really bummed -- not for the flippability or tradeability, but just when you find something nice like that you grieve in general that it was separated...if you're a clothes dork like me, and if you're poasting here, you'd better be hahahaha
...and there they were, 4-5 racks away, together, just like the coats were paired in the coat section. Was not as successful with a corneliani found same day, different stoar.

I don't think I saw the reverse challenge to how much FPV experience a certain full scale aviator has when dismissing other FPV enthusiasts' thoughts on a particular subject. I am in the market for an OSD and have narrowed it down to Dragonlink and Eagle tree because they have ladders and additional information that I probably will not care for once the novelty wears off. I fly with a TV but one day may try goggles. I could see how too much stuff coming through goggles that are 640X480 at best (most are less than that) may get cluttered on a screen. One day I hope to have more experience, and don't mind being a noob.

well imho you are better off flying with a large TV for any plane which has a GPS OSD. I do.
Ideally, good to have many different schools of thought working on each aspect of FPV, esp the OSD. Already we see pros and cons to each OSD out there today. Nobody has brought all the pros together into one OSD. And there are new ideas for OSD yet to be introduced. Personally, I think it would be cool to have a level of customization far beyond what we have today - make it so folks can design their own OSD layout in much more detail than ET and RVOSD do today. Choose fonts, sizes and colours and any graphic, and load your own formulas from the input data in a user friendly 'excel spreadsheet type' desktop GUI. then there are emerging GCS like displays for a laptop you use beside the FPV TV http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...24018&page=539 |

It would not be hard to do this at all, I could do it with two IC's and a small ARM chip + a ram chip. The solution requires 3 different voltages to work, and would be a bit bigger than a credit card, but it would be doable very easily. If i wanted to do it right I'd just use a FPGA. You can even buy video decoder/encoder cores which would do 90% of the work for you for the overlay. These however cost $15k each just to get started (the core, no the fpga) and need double the ram of the discrete solution - however would fit into a much smaller package. This would give you a frame of lag however. Then there is always Qualcom and TI's DSP ARM Cortex A8s. They have video decoders built in, and someone with enough time can simply program the OSD onto the video picture then send it to the analogue video output. Again, requires 2 powersupplies and RAM, and also provides a single frame of lag. In a 12x12mm package with a 1ghz cortex A8 and a 800mhz DSP there isnt very much you can't do in a small space with a DaVinci processor. You can easily do PIP and multiple video overlay streams with one. At $30 for the chip alone and at least a 6 layer board it's not going to be a cheap OSD to manufacture. Either way, this is more like 6 months of working evenings on a project, vs for a black and white osd not using a max7456 a week or so (just for the overlay portion.) You'll then need to program in all the nice to have's like return to home, graphics, sensor handling and likely an AHRS system. The return on investment is not really there to make it worth while investing enough time to make this system. If its a labour of love as this seems to be (considering 4 years of development with no release), rather than something developed for sale - it's a totally different story. For those of us making a living from electronics.. its not really worth it. |

I read ElCheapo's "However the processing power and complexity of the circuits makes them not practical at this moment, IMHO." as meaning it's too hard to do, not meaning it's impractical to design. |

Current Time
Charleston , South Carolina
Tel: 843 723 3424
Concierge.com's insider take:
Don't expect anything haughty from this East Bay Street standbythe playfully misleading acronym stands for Slightly North of Broad, a description of location rather than the crowd. In a renovated historic warehouse, chef Frank Lee updates Southern and Lowcountry standards with influences from around the globe. The shrimp and grits comes with house-made sausage and country ham, and the Carolina quail breast is served in a port wine reduction with a side of cheese grits. Vegetarians accustomed to thrown-together meatless options will revel in the garden-fresh vegetable platethe platter comes heavy with stewed tomatoes, garlicky sautéed spinach, chile-spiked tofu, and grilled summer squash. If you're up for a show, belly up to the bar-style chef's table near the lively open kitchen.
Open Mondays through Fridays 11:30 am to 3 pm and 5:30 to 10 pm for dinner, Saturdays and Sundays, 5:30 to 10 pm.

World sales of the Bible are more than 100 million every year
According to The Economist in Dec 2007 over 100m copies of the Bible are sold or given away every year. Annual Bible sales in America are worth between $425m and $650m; Gideon's International gives away a Bible every second. The Bible is available all or in part in 2,426 languages, covering 95% of the world's population.
One book or many?
The Bible is not just one book, but a whole collection! There are 66 books split into two sections. 39 in the first largest part, called the Old Testament. The second part, the New Testament has 27.
The Old Testament covers a sweep of history, from the creation of the world, to about 400 BC. Its books include poetry and history, prophecy and law. But they all tell the story of God's troubled relationship with his people.
The New Testament, also called the 'Injil' in part of the world, covers the amazing life of Jesus, and what followed on. There are four accounts of Jesus' life, called the 'Gospels', written by those who knew Him. Then, in the book called 'Acts' there is the story of how His followers carried His message around the world. Letters to Christian groups follow, many of them written from prison. Finally, some amazing, often frightening, predictions about the end of the world and the start of something better.
The Bible is unique. Why?
It was written over a period of 1600 years.
Written by more than 40 authors of every sort - kings, poor people, fishermen, poets, government officials, teachers, prophets.
Written in three languages.
Written on three continents - Asia, Africa, and Europe.
Is there any other book in daily use by millions of people, around the world, parts of which were written over 3000 years ago, yet which still speaks to us today?
There are other writings as old as this, but they are all in museums, and have no relevance to the world today!
There are about 6,800 distinct languages in the world, the Bible has been translated (at least in part) into over 2000 of those languages?

This will take you to a choice of several English versions, and German, Swedish, Latin, French, Spanish Tagalog and Norwegian.
The English versions are referred to by their initials only - eg NIV, NASB, RSV, etc. You will find that NIV is the easiest to read, though it is not in easy English. Once you select 'NIV', you will be given a choice of all the names of all the books in both parts of the Bible, and the chapters. The Bible Gateway has over 100 versions in its library of online Bibles.

If you don't know much about the Bible, a good place to start might be the Gospel of Mark or Luke, in the New Testament, telling the story of Jesus in a quick and easy form.

Question for whoever still frequents this forum...
Does anyone know how cameras work? More specifically, how they detect me when I've already taken down the camera room?
On the bank heist, I'll tie up the manager and take his key. I'll the use his keycard to enter the camera room and shout down the guard.
Everything continues rosey until an alarm goes off. It's not the dozen or so hostages, it's the camera seeing a criminal.
Is the guard spotting me and calling it in despite being cuffed?
Is it assumed that camera are watched remotely?
I supposed one player could make a camera look away, but I doubt that's it.
Any ideas?

A lot vs. Alot: 9 Grammatical Pitfalls
any of the many itinerant Jewish preachers who flourished especially in Poland and Russia during the 17th and 18th centuries. Because rabbis at that time preached only on the Sabbaths preceding Pesah (Passover) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), maggidim were in great demand throughout the year to instruct, encourage, and sometimes admonish their congregation. Through their preaching, the maggidim were instrumental in spreading the 18th-century pietistic movement called Hasidism. Rabbi Dov Baer of Mezhirich, who succeeded Ba'al Shem Tov as leader of the Hasidic movement in the 18th century, is known as the Great Maggid.

[Windows] Quickly convert videos between popular formats and download Youtube videos with Ace Video Converter
Posted By Justin On December 4, 2012 @ 12:00 AM In Windows | No Comments
[1]There are a lot of different video converters out there. Although I have tried a number of converters, I found Ace Video Converter to be one of the easiest to use. Best of all, I did not notice many limitations in the free version. They do offer a pro version, but I am not even sure what the point of upgrading would be. The free version works perfectly and is already able to do everything I need it to.
Main Functionality
Ace Video Converter is a program used to convert videos to other formats. However, it can also be used to rip audio from videos and download videos right from YouTube. The program is easy to use, and converts videos pretty quickly (depending on the format).
[2]There are a number of reasons why I liked Ace Video Converter. The program is completely free, and there is only one limitation. They do offer a pro version, but I think this is more like a "donation" to the developer than anything else. After all, the free version is able to do everything I wanted it to do (aside from rip/convert DVDs — need Pro for that).
Ace Video Converter makes converting videos you already have on your computer easy. Please note, the program does not help you download videos off the internet (unless you count the videos it allows you to download from YouTube). So the videos you do convert have to already be on your computer. You can open the folder where your video is stored, or you can simply drag and drop the video you want to convert right onto the program.
After choosing your video, simply choose the format you want to convert the movie to on the right side. You can choose between a number of video formats including: MP4, AVI, WMV, 3GP, FLV, MKV, MP3, MOV, WAV, WEBM. If you are converting a video to be played on a specific device, you can also choose to convert videos by "device". This option comes up with a list of other devices, like PS3, Xbox 360, Android, iPhone, and so on. After choosing the device you want, the program will help you choose the right format.
Some of the other features Ace Video Converter offers include the ability to play video files, automatic shutoff (which will turn your computer off when your video is done converting), and the ability to rip audio from any supported video format. When ripping audio from videos, you can choose between the following audio formats: MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, and RA.
The only problem I had with the program came during installation. Like so many other free programs, it attempted to get me to install other programs. This can be easily avoided by reading all of the options and simply unchecking the things you don't want. However, having to do this is always slightly annoying.
Ace Video Converter is a great program and option for people who are looking to replace their current video converters. I enjoyed using the program, and since it was able to download YouTube videos as well, it actually replaced two of my programs! If you are looking for a new video converter, I highly recommend giving Ace Video Converter a try.
