I want to print out a new box art for my Maddenn game with this...
How do I do that so it will fit perfectly in my case. Like the default box art.

Last edited by yellowboy06; 01-14-2011 at 01:56 PM.
That box isn't exactly the right size, but it should still work. Just go into photoshop or whatever program you want to use and go to print options and change the paper size to A4.
There is a great, in-depth tutorial here: http://www.vgboxart.com/forums/showt...80-Printable-s
It just looks small on this forum it's actually 3230 � 2150.
BTW, Dont they have a good step - by - step guide on printing box arts already? It seems like they would have it on this site, since this site is dedicated to box arts.
Yeah I know. The size of a normal DVD size template is 3420x2175.
Just make sure the size is right in the print preview or Photoshop, change the paper size to A4, use brochure paper or something similar to print on, and that's really about it.
What program are you using?
If you are using Photoshop, here are the steps:
1. Ctrl+P
2. Change the print mode to landscape.
3. Click "Print Settings"
4. Click the "Printing Shortcuts" tab.
5. Change the Paper Size to A4.
6. Click Ok
7. Check the box that says "Scale to Fit Media".
8. The Print Size should be somewhere around 7.4" x 11.125" and the print resolution should be close to 300dpi.
9. Print
If you are using a different program let me know, but it should be basically the same steps.
Thank you!
p.s. What do you think a good way to fold it perfect is (for the spine)?
Also do you know what paper they use?
Thank you!

I've been playing bass for several years now, and have honestly never bought my own bass amp. I have my 50 watt 1x12 that my parents bought me for Christmas and then everywhere I've wanted to play pretty much has their own amp systems that I use. So this has never been an issue.
Currently I'm playing at my church and they want to look into buying a new amp. Its a small setting and mostly all I need is a good direct out, however my music pastor wants an amplifier that does not defeat the internal speaker when using the direct out to the board. This however doesn't match up with pretty much everything he's looked at.
Looking for some pointers or ideas for what to look at. Again the main issues are we want to run direct to the board but still have a little "stage volume" as there are no real monitors avaliable where I play from.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Another "layout" from me this week. As most of you know, I do much of daily life documenting in 4x6 format that I place in my diary-journal-scrapbook thingy. This one details yesterday's purchase of new patio furniture. It's made using embelishments from the Scrap Girls A NARATIVE COLLECTION (a free, very versatile collection offered some time ago that I like and used before). And, if you like doing Project-365, P-52, or Project Life, working 4x6 format makes such projects doable, esp. if you make use of templates (and there are so many free ones too on the net) I have about ten template layouts that I use most of the time, making little modifications here and there, and I stay with similar levels of shades/tints and tones to maintain some sort of cohesiveness. You can also easily turn this type of thing into hybrid scrapbooking Happy New year everyone! Vianna | |||
Nice LO. Are we all invited to the first party? May God Bless You Abundantly! Kathie | ||||
Aaaah, yes: someday there will be pool parties again. | ||||

My friend just created a new scrap book cover with the most awesome feathers I have ever seen. It was for his trip to Brazil . He got the feathers from a place that sells high end hair feathers. I think it was www.moonlightfeather.com All he did was selected feathers so that the cover would have texture. Super cool! | ||||
Love the idea of documenting everyday things....think how great this will be in 30 years to see how you lived............great idea!!!! I was built for comfort and not for speed! | ||||
I too think daily journaling is great and pictures are worth a thousand words. I wish I would journal more. Cheryl Dunn But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Gal. 5:22&23 | ||||
I wish I lived close to you, Vianna, so you could help me get up to speed on digital scrapbooking. I feel overwhelmed by how much I don't know and how long it is taking me to muddle through. I love the journal idea. Makes we think about how much of life I've lived undocumented.This message has been edited. Last edited by: happytobe, Marsha Happy to be in God's service. | ||||
Thanks for the tip on the feathers, happyDIYer. I've never used feathers in my scrapping. Marsha Happy to be in God's service. | ||||
I've kept a "journal" since I was 14 - and THAT was many moons ago ... The practice has evolved over the years to include (besides my own thoughts)such things as newspaper clippings, quotes from books I read, song lyrics and poetry that moves me, drawings and doodles, cartoons, and of course, photographs. Since 97 I have been playing with Photoshop and now I include photos almost daily. I photograph a wide variety of things I write about - newspaper headlines, our foods, books I read, purchases we make ... May are "compilations in a 4x6 digital layout, which works very well for me. My journals are like one of those "Smash" books that are now popular where anything and everything gets pasted into (AND journaled about). They aren't very eclectic or artsy, but they document aspects of my life and I'm happy with that. You dont need a lot of time or product to do what I do: a notebook and a camera phone and a willingness to spend a few minutes daily with them. Marsha: - dont let it overwhelm you; you dont need to know everything, just enough to quickly put together a few photos on a 4x6 LO. I would love to get you started - each and every one of you; the digital process can add a richer dimension to this hobby. Cheryl: - Journaling doesnt have to be long & time consuming (it can be, if time is available or a story is long and special). But on many days my remarks are bullet points like these: READING: A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn DRINKING: Decaf coffee from Panera (my fave, with cinnamon) FEELING: Sleepy Other points might be Listening, Eating, Wearing, Weather, Enjoying, Wondering, Needing .... I think you get it. Try it. It makes daily journaling possible. Here's another example simple digital scrapbooking in the form of a 4x6 photo. Some times I journal ON the photo, other times next to it on the page, and sometime the photo is self explanatory). | ||||
Your "beautiful beggars" are so cute! Marsha Happy to be in God's service. | ||||
Awww... love the beggers! so cute! I understand about the journal..but I'm terrible at it! Think I have nothing to say...same thing every day... etc. Clarinda Scrappin Done in 2010 8 1/2 x 11 - 12 x 12 -11 cards -12 altered note books-14 title swap - 35 | ||||
These are great!!!!!!! I understand about not needing tooo many words and yes sometimes a picture might be all you need.

100% of customers would recommend this product to a friend (20 out of 20)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It just works. I had some trouble finding the working drivers for Linux. There are many repos around and I could finally make it work seamlessly with http://gitorious.org/rtl2832/rtl2832 (the chipset is RTL2832 as declared in the specs). The little included antenna proved to be better than I expected, and I can receive all TVs with it (but I live in a very good zone for receaving TV).
Cons: Nothing particularly. The plastic casing isn't very good, but there no strong need for anything terrribly robust.
Other: It definitely worth its price! :-)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: it does have: RTL2832 receiver + elonics e4000 tuner thus it is 100% compadible with GNURadio 1MSPS - 3.2MSPS with tuning range 64MHz - 1700MHz 8bit IQ samples within these limitations you can receive anything you can program a receiver for, for example i got ADS-B ModeS working with it(gr-air-modes reads info sent by aviation transponders and puts the airplane tracks on google-earth for you) - hey presto a 19$ aviation radar. other example, it was trivial to listen on my wireless earphones signal, or local fm stations. lots of possible applications for this device
Cons: 75ohm antenna connection is crap, the provided monopole is below crap, sure you can put other antennaes on it but it would really be nice if it had sma connector USB connector tends to bend local oscillator is not that great, PLL lock time is slow and temperature drift very noticable you get what you pay for, when it comes to build quality
Other: you can do jobs done with this 19$ usb gadget you would otherwise need tools in the several thousand dollar price range for. for an radio amateur, electronics geek etc a great tool to have, and costs next to nothing, a must buy even if it doesnt have much precision and signal quality
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Works perfectly on Windows 7 and Windows Media Center, without any additional drivers It also works great with rtl-sdr on Debian Linux.
Cons: The included magnetic antenna is crap, it can not receive anything. The antenna cable isn't coaxial, but like a 2 conductor power cable. With an external antenna it has no problems.
Other: Nice and compact receiver.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: For tv-usage this works as a tuner in Windows Media Center just by plugging it in and scanning for channels, didn't need to install anything extra. The tuner seems to be very sensitive as the antenna isn't too great but there were very little artifacts on the video stream. Works great for RTL-SDR. Build quality isn't the best possible, but it is sturdy enough.
Cons: The antenna connector isn't really suitable for anything other than tv-use, but otherwise all good.
Other: Cheap enough to buy a bunch and figure what to do with them later (I got four). Good for tv and fiddling around with SDR.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: While not really the E4000 tuner it is still a compatible tuner with RLT-SDR. The device that comes in the box is an EzTV645 with an Fitipower FC0013 tuner.
Cons: This is actually the EzTV645 Fitipower FC0013. The sticker on the back of the box shows "EZTV668" but the device is not that model. DealExtreme needs to update the product description.
Other: While the product now shipping is not the EZTV668 you are still getting an RTL-SDR compatible device. Just a shame DealExtreme does not really know what is being shipped out.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: * It has chip RTL2832U * Works perfectly in Linux (Ubuntu 12.04), you need driver https://github.com/ambrosa/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0 * lsusb identification from Linux: 0bda:2838 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. * plastic cover can be removed and you can verify type, which you have * can be used with rtl_sdr
Cons: * This SKU was called earlier as EZTV 668, so I ordered it as 668, but arrived EZTV 645 (dx compensated, so ok) * This stick doesn not have tuner Elonics E4000, but tuner Fitipower FC0013 * The included antenna is not very usable
Other: * Not a bad purchase.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Works great as a software defined radio. Just get the software and away you go. Maybe works well as a tv tuner, but i didn't test it. Easy to open in order to tweak. Remote control is small and practical. Works great both in windows and linux.
Cons: The sensitivity of the antena,is almost null. If you plan some serious use get another antenna. Check the interwebs for SDR, to get advise about the best antenna.
Other: Great product to get started on SDR. Amazing value for money.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: works with hdsr easy to setup even on first time user works great good sample rates and recives just about everythin i needed right out of the box remote control works fine not a white box item
Cons: need to update description if you expect to get a eztv648 and got a 646 not even a 645 whats up deal extreme.....
Other: after all a great buy for the price overall good performace and not so bad when considering what its real duty is
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Works good and was easy to get it work propley in windows seven. In Linux, i tried but i didn't to get it working yet, i will try again, bacause y know that works in linux.
Cons: Needs a good antenna to get better reception signals, buts works. I will try with an external antenna to find better results.
Other: Due to the price is a good start of the SDK, to someone that wants to start it. It's smal and easy to transport so its good to try in evry place (home, office, and others).
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: im using it on Linux for SDR, this is the cheapest DVB-T Stick cappable for this task! Its working like a charm, i add also a picture of my complete setup. I use it mainly to scan for frequencys and then tune with the real radio to it for listening. So basically im using it as a ultra wideband scanner (0-2.2GHz with Mod)
Cons: When used for watching TV or Radio, the Remote Receiver is on one side, and its on all notebooks i know the wrong one!
Other: for my task, using it as an SDR, its perfect!

Micah Bournes, Spoken Word ArtistFriday, September 7; 7:30 p.m.; Rudd Auditorium; Free admissionMicah Bournes grew up in Long Beach, CA, and was immersed in hip-hop for as long as he can remember. This influence is clearly seen through his personal journey of artistic expression. Micah began rapping while attending Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. From there he began blending and bending genres as he incorporated spoken word poetry, rhythm & blues, and funk into his music. Micah is a two-time 1st place winner of the intercollegiate National Religious Broadcasters Competition, and has done quite well for himself in countless poetry slams across the country. Knowing that he is a broken man, made righteous only by the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our Lord, on the cross, Micah strives to live his life according to Proverbs 24:1, "A righteous man falls seven times, and rises again." This message, at the heart of his work, drives him to always keep creating. Read more about Micah Bournes. |

Game of Thrones is overrated
Thank you Pythagorean. I was starting to believe that I was the only person that doesn't like Game of Thrones. I have had this same debate with friends and family; it is nice to find someone who actually agrees.
Jan3-13, 03:13 AM | #19 |
Jow, Game of Thrones is indeed, as others said, targeted at people who like sex/drama/violence bundle. I am a great fan of the books, and I suggest you to read them, since they are so much more detailed and deep than the series that I just have to stop typing now and focus on TV adaptation. I can't say whether the show is underrated or not, since it's not that famous in my current country of residence, but as far as my own interest towards the series goes, the big selling points to me are:
(1) Historical realism. You could complain about women treated unequally in GoT, but I suspect that's the way it was in medieval Europe. The costumes are unique, and the last time I saw such an attention and creativity shown on screen was back it times when LotR came out. Of course, the "realistic" elements in the show go too far sometimes, but I think it's a good reminder to those who think of medieval Europe as of a place filled with noble knights and ladies like a jar of pickles. Sadly, the battle scenes are mostly missing due to budget limits, but they compensate it in the second season. (2) Character depth. Ha, bet you didn't see this one coming! Come on, you've just watched a TV adaptation of a book in which 224 characters are given the right to speak. This is a TV season based on a book which is meant as a mere introduction to a (3) with (1). Please understand that you are comparing TV series to a book. Worse than that, you are comparing not-yet-finished TV series to a classic book and expect the same depth of character's inner world. You wouldn't get a lot of character development in the first part of The Great Expectations, right? Besides, G.R.R.Martin (the guy who writes the books) gets boring ones killed (as he did with Ned) or changes them radically later on in the books. Now as for your comparison to Dickens, if you start comparing the books, your point doesn't hold any more. I would call Tyrion Lannister as complex a character as any featured in Dickens novels. More to say, I suspect that the upcoming Great Expectations film would fail to intrigue me as much as GoT did. (3) Sandbox world. I am quite a fan of fantasy setting, but A Game of Thrones (again, I start to refer to the book) took me by surprise with it's dynamic world. It is changing, and it seems to do so not by the will of the writer, but rather by evolving under unpredictable actions of both major and minor characters. After Game of Thrones, most of other fantasy novels seem predictable and dull. I think I have to stop myself from typing now. Once again, I'm not saying that TV adaptation is not overrated, I just want to show that if sex and violence are not much to your taste, you still could find other stuff interesting. |
Jan3-13, 07:13 AM | #20 |
I like the book, with the lots of in-depth characters. :)
I skip the TV show... i dont want to throw up... |

stargazer3: I suspected that the books would be able to go far more in depth in terms of characters. However, I must disagree with you in your statement tha I wouldn't find a lot of character development in the first part of Great Expectations (although it is still a tad unjust comparing Game of Thrones to Dickens). I do find Tyrion Lanister complex, but he is an archetype: unloved by father, commitment issues. I think, though, I shall give the second season a try to see if it gets any better, but I still maintain the position that the show is overrated and for now the first season was not very good.
Jan3-13, 01:27 PM | #22 |
Jow, some of the shallowness of the characters you perceive may be in part to die to the acting.
Doesn't anyone else find the acting to be banal? Even if you like the cannon? I always love hearing about cannons, but the stories within them are sometimes tedious if not told right (not dating anything about the books, btw). |
Jan3-13, 07:33 PM | #23 |
Also, although cannons are fun, I'm not sure how relevant they are here. There is no gun powder in Game of Thrones... |
Jan4-13, 12:24 AM | #24 |
The thing that confuses me is why are you even giving the show so many chances if you don't like it? If you don't like it, I'd recommend you stop watching it.

I wouldn't call GoT "overrated"--I found it riveting and full of interesting story, with or without archetypical characters--but I agree with Jow that most of the sexual content amounts to "socially acceptable pornography". In my opinion, this is a negative thing. But to discuss this would be beyond the scope of these forums, neh? ;)

I didn't read any of this thread, but I agree, the original poster should be banned for his blasphemy!!

Being blissfully unaware of Game of Thrones, it was without preconceptions that I watched all 20 HBO episodes last month over a four day period. This month, I bought the books and I'm currently into the fourth in the series.
The great virtue of the books is that they are "page turners", quite skillfully written and very entertaining. This has been carried over into the lavish TV productions, and they are incredibly entertaining, as well. Being familiar with the Wars of the Roses, upon which the series is loosely based, I was initially put off by the zombies, shapeshifters, dragons and other aspects of magic and paranormality portrayed in the TV series. And I was also surprised about the full frontal nudity until I remembered this was a paid subscription cable production I was watching. As to whether the productions are overrated, it must first be remarked that the books are bestsellers and the TV series seem wildly popular. Secondly, the values reflected in Game of Thrones are precisely those of our own culture and society. So the graphic sexuality, violence, lies, deception, betrayal, corruption, nepotism, eternal urge to power, control and self-aggrandizement, insane religions and super-naturalism are only an artful reflection of our own times and its agonies. So it would seem that if the series is overrated, then so is our own culture. Respectfully submitted, Steve |
Feb3-13, 12:21 PM | #30 |
I am much more a fan of Tolkien, LotR.
I didn't read the GoT, but I did watch a few episodes. The world didn't wrap me within it like the Lord of the Rings books and movies. So, I stopped watching it. I believe the OP means that its story slacks off and is overrated as something that is good when it is not. Sex is fine in my opinion, however, in this series, just too much. It feels more gratuitous for its own sake and doesn't evoke feeling when being presented to the viewer. It is empty, banal, and annoying, when sex should be used as a device that expands upon engulfing the viewer into the universe. If I want to watch a bunch of empty sex scenes, I have porn for that. When I want to see an actual story and world, I expect to see/read it and be able to immerse myself into it. Other things I didn't like about it aside from too much sex is the lack of plot-building and rarely any character building. I felt the father [spoiler ]was killed off way too early just so the story can prove to the viewer it is "original". This killing of the father provokes the Northern kingdom to rebel but I don't even feel it as I never had much feeling for father in the first place due to the lack of character building. To me, he seemed more like fodder than anything else. Why would his death spark such outrage as to make a means for the kingdom to rebel? Of course we hear the reason, but hearing something is the cause isn't what a story should do, instead it should make you feel it as is supposed to be the intent of a story. Making the "false" king so evil to his core is also unoriginal and annoyingly fake. Usually there is much more dimensions to such people in life and in stories; even though some child kings are brutal and immature, they usually have some salience of reason backed by their brutality. He is so 1-dimensional that he just brutalizes for no reason just so the writer can put some sense of moral obligation onto the viewer to hate the character. Instead of understanding his reasons, he is empty just like the sex scenes and is used to actually make up for a lack-luster story. Seeing false king along with mother = bad people, we hate! Even Darth Vader made us have some feeling of remorse for his actions. I still believe Darth Vader is misunderstood to a certain extent and his life just proves how certain wrongs and actions taken in life can warp the outlook of a person. It can even make them delusional to a certain extent. This child King has no such outlook, he is more akin to a brat than anything else and such people used as emotional pronging devices just proves that the story is weak. |

For me, the dwarf character (Tyrion) is the highlight of the show. I don't think I would enjoy it half as much if not for him.
Feb6-13, 02:31 PM | #34 |
His character indeed does show development throughout the series, albeit of a certain moral ambivalence! (I'm between the 4th and 5th novel) Respectfully, Steve |

I ended up buying a specialized tarmac and the cyfac has been sat in my bedroom since. I brought it as a complete bike from www.velobrands.co.uk the bike in the pictures on thier site is this actual frame, it looks amazing built up!!
When i stripped it to build the specialized i left the forks in the front room with the dog and he chewed them to bits (thanks!) so it comes with a brandnew set of forks with uncut steerer.
It has a built in seat post which has been cut down to 780mm from center of bb to top of seat clamp with roughly 10mm adjustment either way.
It comes with 2 carbon bottle cages which are colour coded to the frame (pictured).
To anyone who doesnt know the brand all the frames are hand made in france to order, prices start from £3700 for frame/fork/bottle cages. ride quality is simply amazing, possibly the most comfy bike i have ever ridden yet still extreamly stiff. You must ride one to understand quite how good they are!
This frame has been looked after to the upmost, there is not a mark on it!!!
for some reason i cant upload pictures of it. But as i have said the bike here on the velobrands website is the exact frame.http://www.velobrands.co.uk/cyfac/road-bikes/absolu-v1-2-p-2312.html#
please email meif you want more pics.
Not that I can afford it right now, but you may want to provide measurements/geometry, given that these are custom made. The pics on the site makes it look quite laid back in terms of angles. Also, a price.
If the bicycle was invented tomorrow, it would be seen as the solution, not the problem
thanks for the heads up, as i brought this as a full bike direct off the importers after falling in love with it at the show i didnt get custom geo. this is a off the shelf 56. geo can be found in the following link.
as for price, i would be looking for £2250
Didn't know dogs like to eat carbon.

LMAO what is there to not love about Japan?
FYI the guy at the end is yelling for someone to call an ambulance.
Hahahahah... this was fucking hilarious. The guy just slapped him around a few times and he went down.
This is what happens when you spend your lifetime practicing something and never testing your skills in the real world.
This clip reminded me of the early UFCs when they had all those different marital artists fight in the octagon... from Royce Gracie days of UFC.
howard would have used his outjogjitsu
Crocop had the kick and as soon as they went down on the mat, it was all over for him. Fedor could both deliver take pounding. I wish I had $$$ during middle 2000s... I would have gone to see PrideFC in Japan. I went to a bunch of UFCs in 2009/10/11 but PrideFC was so much cooler at those times.
But yeah, Fedor was an animal. Everyone was afraid of him and for a good reason.

So I'm in the process of making my mod, and I've been using the forum's for tips, but I have a question.
Why in the world is there only one thread for asking questions? Thats counter productive to the whole point of a help forum. Instead of making just one thread, make a index devoted to only questions and an index for tips. Its way too hard to browse around the forums right now because of that. I don't want to click through 25 pages of one thread to see a million different questions I can learn from. Just a suggestion. Right now im having a map collision problem, and the only way I can search for related posts is by searching "map collision" Id rather be able to search threads about map collision rather than a million posts about it in one thread.

Birkin is a handbag manufactured by Hermès whose main products are leather and garment launched in 1984. This style named after the British singer Jane Birkin for a long time. Birkin handbags is a symbol of luxury culture.
While Victoria Beckham is a handbag created by Victoria Beckham, David Beckham' wife.,whose designer is Katie Hiller, a famous designer in this circle. Maybe this spicy girl Victoria Beckham is not favorited by everyone, but she has versused her career as a fashion delegator and regarder herself as a fashionable icon, and finally she succeededed in foundign her own brand image. This i s the same as her nickname posh in the popular music group Spice Girls .
Will Victoria Beckham take the place of Birkin?
In the past years, Victoria Beckham always appears with Birkin's handbags. When you hear the news of her change of handbag, what's your first reaction? Surprised? Later, you will ask which brand she choose? Of course, the very answer must be the brand created by herself . Is it a great success? Now let's look at some photos of under her brand.
Victoria Beckham handbags series in the spring and summer promote six styles, whose main colors are shallow the color of camel's hair, date red, black, respectly designed for her whole day.
No.1 Victoria
This handbag is outer shaped squarely and seems much impressive. With the suitable match with clothes, this handbag looks harmonious with the environment. The luxy steemed out of it strongly hits the readers.
No.2 Victoria
This handbag looks harder with the color of red date. The metal handle will stengthen its fashionable feel. The metal lock indicates its luxy and elegance.
No.5 Victoria
This handbag is used in the lunch time. With long handles and the design of small shape,it is much more convinient for taking along little things, such as cellphone, hankerchiefs etc. Can you feel the soft texture of the lether?
No.6 Victoria
This luggage is in simple line and in good shape. Do you have the feeling of a peaceful leave?
There are still two handbags we have never referred and we will leave it next Monday. The above threee handbags show the special idea of its designers-though there is no logo and decorations, simply lined, the feel these handbags bring are not low-pitched, just like hiding its logo.
In a word, the costly feeling from outside to inside, inside and outside is as wonderful. Victoria Beckham wants to let customers smell the fragrance, like leather.

Serbia tourism
Serbia, officially known as the Republic of Serbia, is one of the six republics that were part of the erstwhile Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. This country is surrounded on its north by Hungary, on its south by the Republic of Macedonia, on its east by Bulgaria and Romania, and on its west by Montenegro, Croatia, Herzegovina, and Bosnia. Belgrade, the capital of Serbia is among the most populated cities of southeastern Europe. This country is open for tourism throughout the year, and tourists from all over the world visit it, largely because of its pleasant climate.
It is also famous for its pleasant climate and the warmth of its inhabitants. The best time to visit Serbia is during the summer season. Though the senior citizens are conversant with German or French, the majority of the young generation Serbs, can speak English fluently. You can also communicate with them in the Serbian language, which is similar to Bosnian and Croatian.
Tourists should convert their currency to the RSD (Serbian Dinar), which is the official currency of Serbia. They can do it either at the airport, at any bank in the city, or through any authorized currency exchange offices. The prices of most commodities are higher in the capital when compared to those in other parts of the country. As of July 2010, the exchange rate was 83 Serbian Dinars per Dollar or 104 Serbian Dinars per Euro.
This country is popular among the British, Germans, Italian, and French who visit it during the summer season… Slovenians visit it during the new Year Holidays. Not surprising when one considers that the BBC has featured Kapaonik as one of the best European ski destinations. Serbia is well connected with the rest of the world with major airlines touching down and taking off from the BEG (Belgrade Nikola Tesla) Airport.
Licensed taxi services are available at the airport and a journey to the center of the city takes approximately 20 minutes and costs RSD 800. Apart from BEG, one can also travel to and from the country through Niš, the second largest airport of Serbia. Tourist can also visit Serbia by train, car, bike, bus, and boat.
Visitors should check out the Kalemegdan fortress. Apart from this, Serbia also boasts of a number of ports and towers. This city is famous for its long biking/walking paths too, which run alongside the Danube and Sava rivers. One should also check out the medieval orthodox monasteries like Žiča, Studenica, Ravanica, Manasija, and Mileseva. The last mentioned monastery is famous amongst art lovers for Beli Andeo, a fresco masterpiece.
Serbia is famous for its food and drinks. They should check out Downtown Café, Bibis Café-boat, Movie bar… and many more. While in Belgrade, do not miss out the Skadarlija on Bohemian Street… famous for its whole night parties. Plan your trip to coincide with the EXIT Festival that is the biggest music festival of southeast Europe. The Belgrade Beer Festival that takes place every August is also very popular amongst the tourists. There are a good number of shopping malls where one can also avail of imported western food. At the end of the day, go to any local eatery and request for a pljeskavica and round it off with a shot of local brandy like Rajika. Vegetarians should try out the prebranac.

Munday Pushes Past Wink
By: Eric Boynton
Updated: November 23, 2012
The defense was the first to strike first with a sack by Xavier Bulliner to push back Wink.
Then the offense took over, and quarterback Dee Paul did the rest. A 72 yard run gave the Moguls their first touchdown on the night.
Munday would add to that lead throughout the night and go on to win 63-34.

Browns: Going gets tough for Trent Richardson as game wears on
Trent Richardson, a big fan of football great turned TV dancer Emmitt Smith, sometimes looks like he's auditioning for Dancing with the Stars while waiting for a hole to open.
Sometimes that hole never opens, and sometimes Richardson doesn't find it when it does.
The rookie from Alabama, the third pick of the 2012 draft, leads the Browns with 670 yards rushing, but he is averaging only 3.7 yards a carry. He was stopped three times for no gain in the final 3:30 of the fourth quarter and once in overtime in Dallas. He has been stopped 19 times for no gain.
Richardson says he gets stronger as the game progresses, but that is a myth. He has totaled 45 yards — a 2.7-yard average — on 17 attempts after his 21st carry. He has had between 11 and 20 carries 65 times for 240 yards, matching his 3.7-yards a carry average.
Despite those modest numbers, opposing coaches continue to praise Richardson, who also leads the Browns with 37 catches. On Sunday, Richardson will be challenged by the Steelers and their top-ranked defense. The Steelers rank fourth against the run and first against the pass.
"I was hopeful that the legendary Jim Brown was correct in his initial assessment of Richardson, but I am disappointed," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told reporters in Pittsburgh. "This guy is a talented runner. He has great contact balance. He is strong-willed. He is highly productive. He has a downhill run demeanor. He finishes off runs."
On the morning of the draft, Brown made headlines by saying Richardson looked "ordinary" to him. Brown, who rushed for 12,312 yards in nine seasons with the Browns, has since said he was trying to motivate Richardson.
Richardson has no beef with Brown. He did not, however, agree Wednesday when a reporter suggested he dances too much behind the line of scrimmage. Richardson says he runs the same way in the NFL as he did at Alabama, in high school and even in little league football.
"Me, dance around behind to line too much? Nah," Richardson said. "I think I can make smarter decisions, but me dance around? Nah.
"First off, to be a running back, you have to see the hole and see what you have to do to make the right decision to put the team in the best way to score. People don't see what I see. I'm out there running the ball. Continued...
"Everybody with a clicker in front of the TV or from the stands might see something different, but it's way faster and there's a lot more going on than everybody cheering with the oohs and ahs sees what he (meaning Richardson) could have done. It's way deeper than that."
For the first time since being injured in the game against the Bengals on Oct. 14, Richardson acknowledged his rib injury affects the way he plays. He scored 21 rushing touchdowns at Alabama last season. He has five in 10 games as an NFL rookie.
"It's probably me not being 100 percent yet and me not trusting some of the stuff I usually do," Richardson said. "I just have to get back to being me."
Even offensive coordinator Brad Childress said Richardson missed some opportunities against the Cowboys but he was not critical of Richardson's style. He has no plans to take carries from Richardson and give them to Montario Hardesty.
"His eyes could have been in a couple different spots that maybe would have been advantageous for him, but by in large, he's usually going to do pretty well with those." Childress said. "Both of those guys have a different pace to the hole. We talked about smooth to the hole, speed through the hole.
"They have a different pace. It's a great thing to have two running backs that give you a different pace. A defense kind of screws its cleats into the ground one way for one guy and all of a sudden a guy that's a change of pace guy comes in. We don't wish that they're all the same. Their pace and their tempo is their tempo."
Richardson has carried the ball 180 times. Hardesty has 29 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown.

Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Matching 1 Tags
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Letting God Out of the Box
I found myself in a very awkward situation. On the one hand I was a follower of Jesus Christ who loved the Bible, knew that it was God's Word, and, therefore, not full of lies. However, I also was someone who had loved science for many years and was planning on pursuing a career in research...
Series: Scripture and the Authority of God
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
Following God's Path, Part 1
I've loved science for as long as I can remember, and from an early age I imagined my future career as a scientist. I also grew up immersed within Christian Fundamenatalism.
Possibilities and Second Chances
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
Series: Understanding Evolution: Is There "Junk" in Your Genome?
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment on "junk DNA", we explore how genomics can be employed to test for non-functional sequences by comparing sequences between related organisms.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
A Lively God
In today's video, Rev. Lincoln Harvey discusses our desire to "domesticate" the liveliness and abundance of God. Harvey notes that the Trinity highlights both the manyness and oneness of God, which can be hard to Christians to fully understand.
Science or sola Scriptura?
So, for Driscoll, the choice is a simple dichotomy: Scripture or science. Scripture is the highest court of authority in all matters, and the role of believing scientists is to affirm Scripture. To fail to do so is to "exchange the truths of Scripture for the truths of science".
The Truthfulness of Scripture: Inerrancy, Part 1
Against the repeated claim that the doctrine of inerrancy arose first with Protestant orthodoxy, we could cite numerous examples from the ancient and medieval church. It was Augustine who first coined the term "inerrant," and Luther and Calvin can speak of Scripture as free from error.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
B.B. Warfield, Biblical Inerrancy, and Evolution
During the late 19th century when critical views of Scripture came to prevail in American universities, Warfield was responsible for refurbishing the conviction that the Bible communicates revelation from God entirely without error. Yet while he defended biblical inerrancy, Warfield was also a cautious, discriminating, but entirely candid proponent of the possibility of evolution.
Understanding the Human Dimension of Scripture
Old Princeton and the Dutch Calvinists understood that the human dimension of Scripture—which pervades Scripture thoroughly—is not merely tolerable of a divine book, but a necessary component of what inspiration means.
B. B. Warfield and the "Human Side" of the Bible
With Christ, his humanity is essential to who he is. Likewise, the Bible's "human side" is an essential part of what Scripture is, and recognizing this has practical implications.
An Incarnational Model of Scripture
The Bible is no more a book dropped out of the sky than Jesus is some superman who flew down from heaven. Instead, just as Jesus is "God incarnate," both divine and human, the Bible is a book that speaks God's word and reflects the thoughts, ideas, and worldviews of the human authors.
Joanna's Story
As a child, I started reading the Bible as soon as I could and I made my decision for Jesus wholeheartedly at the age of nine. Nurtured in an "all Christian environment," I knew little else. But certain questions tended to nag at me.

Debates are fascinating human activities that are a mixture of logic, strategy, and show. Not everybody shares this fascination. The German author Emil Ludwig considered debates to be the death of conversation. Jonathan Swift regarded debates as the worst sort of conversation, and debates portrayed in books as the worst sort of reading. Public debates pose various interesting dilemmas. A debate between two positions gives an impression of symmetry, and engaging in a debate against an obscure or illegitimate position gives it some legitimacy and emphasis. On the other hand, ignoring obscure or illegitimate positions may also pave the way to getting them public legitimacy or to making them mainstream. A common form of debate is one in which an uninformed decision-maker extracts information from two (or more) informed debaters who hold contradictory positions on a certain issue. Weblog debates are especially interesting, as they allow an unusual amount of interaction between the debaters and the uninformed audience. Common debate practices include ample repetitions, not giving up on seemingly small issues, never admitting a mistake, trying to undermine the professionalism and integrity of an opponent and not just his logic. We can ask ourselves if these debating practices are rational and optimal in terms of influencing the audience. They probably are.

My wife and I both love this mattress. It fits our bed frame perfectly and provides very firm support. There was only a slight odor at first but this has dissipated. We are very happy with our purchase.

The Difference Between Film and Video
I may not have always known it, but I always wanted to be a filmmaker. Ten-year-old me commandeered my dad's VHS camcorder to shoot my own Brittney Spears music videos (I only liked her for her looks), GI Joe adventure shorts (a la Robot Chicken), and a documentary welcoming newcomers to my secret fort (I'm the only one who ever watched it). Proud as I was of my creations, I would always lament that "they don't look like the real movies." And they didn't. Not even... Read More

European turmoil has had its toll on the shares of most global companies, purely because of macroeconomic concerns. At this point, most investors are prefer to stay away from companies that have a presence in the troubled countries of Europe, no matter how great the growth potential may be.

This is exactly why Panera Bread (NASDAQ: PNRA) pops up on my radar, and here are a few reasons why it should be on your radar as well.
Panera Bread is a chain of bakery cafes and restaurants, with its presence in the US and Canada. The restaurant chain is focused on providing their customers, premium quality dishes. As of June, 2012, the company had 1591 cafés spread across 41 states in US and Canada. The company believes in forging relationships with its customers that is suggested by the 11 million members in its loyalty program.
Defying Recession?
What's amazing here is that during the housing crisis years, when most stocks in the market were taking a plunge, Panera Bread seemed to be defying recession. The stock provided positive returns of 26% in 2009 with both topline and earnings surging ahead, and almost mocking at other industries for their negative growth.
Beating the Peers
Taking a look at the 5 year performance chart of Panera Bread along with its global peers McDonalds (NYSE: MCD) and Yum Brands (NYSE: YUM) , we can see that the stock has not been able to grow in the crisis years, but has also consistently outperformed its peers.
Also taking at the revenue growth of the three competitors over the past 5 years, we can see that Panera takes the win by a huge margin.
Beating Expectations
The company recently reported better than expected quarterly financial results, with an EPS of $1.50 against the expected $1.39. The earnings grew 21% compared to the year ago quarter. The topline of the company owned cafés increased by 7.1% and the net profit margin increased by 0.9%. The total revenue surged 18% to $530.6 million compared to last year's quarter, beating the market's estimates of $518 million. The numbers look great and to top it all, the company announced a share buyback program of $600 million, which is to be carried out over the next three years, and this could mean further upside in the stock's price.
Solid Fundamentals?
Shares of Panera Bread trade at 24.95 times the trailing P/E and 1.79 times PEG. The stock isn't undervalued, but isn't overvalued as well. The stock is trading at the top end of fairly priced range, which to an extent justifies the growth prospects of the company. Analysts expect the EPS growth in the next year to be around 18.65%, and an EPS growth of around 18.45% over the next 5 years, meaning a potentially continued ride for the investors of the company.
The Foolish takeaway
The company was able to perform brilliantly during the crisis years, and has been beating its peers consistently in terms of returns on the stocks and revenue growth. The financial results were better than expected and analysts expect the fireworks to continue over the next 5 years. It is because of these reasons that we have a Foolish buy rating on the stock.
