Thanks to the vast, varied geography and climate of the Southeastern state, North Carolina travel has something for all vacationers. From its flat, swampy Coastal Plain to the Piedmont region to the Blue Ridge Mountains, travel to North Carolina has plenty to offer: from hikes through the mountains to relaxing beach vacation on the coast.
Things Not to Miss in North Carolina
• Plan a trip in the fall to the Blue Ridge Mountains. It's the perfect time to take a hike along one of the hundreds of trails and enjoy the region's amazing fall foliage.
• Asheville is a great destination city if you want to check out the historic Biltmore Estate or sip a craft beer – the city is one of the top small-town brewery cities in the country.
• If you're using our North Carolina travel guide to plan your beach trip, investigate renting a house on the remote Outer Banks for a truly relaxing, remote beach getaway.
When to Go to North Carolina
Because the state's climate is affected by altitude, when you visit North Carolina depends entirely on where you are going. The Gulf Stream keeps temperatures mild in the Southern coastal areas, while the cold Labrador Current from the North can make the state's Northern area quite cold and snowy in winter.

Kelly Ripa Toasts Michael Strahan's 'Live' Exit: 'You Have Given Us So Much Joy'
Strahan is officially en route to his new gig at 'GMA.'
Strahan is officially en route to his new gig at 'GMA.'
The veteran talk show host opens up about what happened behind closed doors amid the announcement of Michael Strahan's 'Live' departure.
Michael will leave the production on May 13 after an announcement after an announcement that reportedly left Kelly Ripa pissed.
Now that Michael Strahan is leaving 'Live' in September, who should be the next person to co-host the show with Kelly Ripa?
Kelly Ripa has returned to her hosting role on Live! With Kelly and Michael today. To start the show, Kelly walked out, as she always does, hand in hand with Michael...
Reports say she's not angry about Strahan's move, just the way in which it was announced.
See all of our favorite looks at the 88th annual Academy Awards.
For over a decade, Kelly Ripa co-hosted 'Live!' with Regis Philbin (after filling the impressive but wobbly shoes of Kathie Lee Gifford). But these days, Kelly and Reeg aren't the closest of friends.
LIVE! With Kidd Kraddick & Kelly! That has a nice ring to it don't you think? LIVE! With Regis & Kelly is running another Men of Radio Co-Host Search. The winners of the contest will each have a day co-hosting with Kelly the week of Jan. 24th.
By now you have probably heard that Kidd Kraddick and Jay-Si from Kidd Kraddick in the Morning were nominated for the search. Sadly, Jay-Si did not make it past the first round of cuts. However, Kidd did and he is now in the top 10! Show your support for the morning show and VOTE NOW for Kidd Kraddick! Click 'READ MORE' to watch the video Kidd posted for the contest.

The Playlist Your Workout Needs This Week
Illustrated By Mary Schafrath.
The right music can make or break your workout. That's why we tapped some of the best instructors, trainers, and DJs to curate the perfect soundtrack for every session.
This Week: Clifton Harski of Fitwall
If you're going to be spending 150 minutes a week working out (which you should), you need to refresh your music on a weekly basic. You can only sprint to Britney's "Work Bitch" for so long before your muscles start to cringe every time they hear it. Hence, the creation of our Power Play series, where we pump our favorite instructors for their killer playlists. Yes, our reasons are entirely selfish: We want to find new, undiscovered songs (and classics we forgot about) for our own mixes. Our fitness fiend on tap this week is Clifton Harski, director of training and national head coach at the trendy new studio, Fitwall. (You may remember him schooling us on proper plank form last week.)
"We take the music seriously," Harski says of his studio. "The playlists always are a blend of contemporary hits, throwbacks, club bangers, and dance favorites. The magic in our mixes is that the music always matches the intended intensity of the workout." The secret sauce for creating the perfect workout playlist, according to Harski? Playing funky, dance-fun tunes during moderate intensity work, then gradually building the volume and pace for the high-intensity sets — and finally, featuring slower, lighthearted songs during recovery periods.
So, whether you cherry-pick your favorite songs from the track list below, or train with this mix from start to finish, it's time to give your go-to songs a break.

I bought this tablet for my wife as a Christmas gift and I just spent some time getting it ready for her to open. I must say that this tablet is fast! I'm certain this is due to the quad core processor. It had no problems connected to my wireless network and quickly downloaded the apps I wanted to put on this tablet for my wife. And the apps themselves are very quick. This is honestly one of the quickest tablets I have owned and I've owned a number of different tablets and android phones. The tablet doesn't feel cheap and the screen is very responsive. The only slight drawback to this tablet that I have encountered thus far is that the USB cord provided with the tablet is fairly short. Bottom line is that I was little hesitant to try this tablet out but I'm very happy I did and I'm sure my wife will be equally pleased on Christmas! All of the inputs and buttons are on the bottom of the tablet which is a little odd but didn't seem to impact using this tablet. The front-facing camera is also in a bit of an odd location.
Got 2 for X-mas for my kids. I opened them up so I could fully set and and charge for the day. My kids are 13 and 15, and wanted a nice tablet for under $120. Look at review and this one had good reviews but there was an issue with the charging port. Everything worked fine, nice picture, easy set up and very fast. I would compare it to my Ipad 2. One stopped charging within 4 days on christmas and the second about a week. I did tell them to be careful with the charging port as it seems to be an issue. Both of them the charging port is very loose and trys to pull out of the tablet. A side note the power buttom seems cheap but that is really the only other poor part of it. I called customer service and they are replacing it. They were very nice and handled very effectively. This product was produced 11/13. I will give it one more try and update my review once received.
Bought 3 of these for christmas gifts and within 5 charges the micro mini usb charging port breaks off the electrical board !!!! it is only held in place by the soldered electrical contacts, which are very small. Rather than soldering (at the manufac) the housing studs that run through the board, the studs are nothing more than an alignment for placement on the board !!!! was very happy with them before this happened. Now since only one is left working (2 of the 3 have broke), guess ill take the last one apart and pour some 2 part epoxy over it so it will not break off the board. HEY FELLAS, YOU MISSED A SPOT! All that great technology only to be ruined by a poor assembly!! I have made numerous soldering repairs over my lifetime but these tiny joints are too small.
This tablet is only 7" but man it zooms. Battery life is similar to that of a cell phone. Due to its size, it would make a great starter tablet for anyone. I use it as a backup for my ipad mini ( screen is smaller on the Nobis then the ipad mini , but then again so is the price. ;) ) To tell you the truth, when surfing , watching videos , listening to tunes, it's just as fast as my mini and cost me way less. Want high end then pay for it. Want a great starter tablet or one for kids so they stop stealing yours, buy this one.
I haven't had the problems that most other buyers are mentioning. Never had a problem with charging or staying on, or breaking. Overall I thought it was a great little tablet for my 6 yr old for Christmas.... until I started downloading apps. I put 4, yes four, apps and the memory was full. I went out and bought a 32GB micro SD card that is compatible, yet it still won't work. There is no way to direct the downloads to the SD card instead of the internal memory. You can move very few apps to the SD card. Did some research on android forums and found that there really isn't anything that can solve the problem, and that it is common with low end tablets. Most of the internal storage is used up by the pre-installed software and apps, which cannot be moved to the SD card, leaving very little room for anything else. A complete waste of money.
I have been building computers and laptops for years, I have a ms surface and Toshiba thrive I use, I bought this after seeing the price and specs. the speed of this puts my older $400 Toshiba thrive to shame. You can't go wrong, if this was made here you would be paying a lot more money-don't know how they do it. comes loaded and has HDMI
Have not gotten to the nitty gritty just light dl'ing and surfing but I am a pretty heavy tech user so I do know what to look for. Know that when you buy this it is a 7 inch tablet. I saw people complain about the size....well when you order a small fry, you get a small fry. The speaker is decent. Viewing angles are just OK but you aren't going to get a true screen viewing from any angle for less than $200+....I also own an Acer Iconia a500 which gives excellent viewing at $389 (love it, bought the nobis to keep my 4 year old away from it). Processor is OMG fast. All of the inputs as and outputs the big boys have expandable memory big plus. All in all its a great addition to the pile of tech stuff in your home. I would not pay the $120 tag price but for $69 or even $89..... Its worth it.
This is a pretty good tablet for the price. It does not download apps very fast but once they download they work great. Plays YouTube videos without any buffering. The tablet does have a screen protector on it that i removed due to it giving the screen a sticky feel. I would buy it again if needed.
Good at running Google Chromecast
Good at running Netflix.
Good at running HBOGO.
Good at running my cable company app and can use the tablet as a remote.
You can download many apps at Google play store.
It doesn't say in the description, but it has Google Now. You can talk and it looks things up for you. Screen is not top of the line, but it is decent.
Felt it was kind of a slow-ish start for turning on for cold start maybe 30 to 40 seconds. Overall for the price a good deal.
So I brought this for my 4 year old son for Christmas. Specs were good and the price was great...or so I thought. When I first opened it 3 days before Christmas it worked perfectly. I sync it to my Google account and was able to get all the apps on it. When Christmas rolled around my son was so happy to play with it until about 2 days after Christmas it took forever for apps to upload and the screen began to desensitize. The next day the tablet froze and rebooted itself to factory setting (erased all apps . Finally on the 5th day after Christmas the tablet turned on with a white screen and lines running through it. My son was so disappointed. We never dropped it and it was protected 24/7 by a hard, $30 case. Therefore I only had about a week, this tablet is trash!!! DO NOT BUY IT!! Thank God Walmart has a 15 day return policy starting after Christmas on electronics or else I would have passed the 15 days from the day I brought it and I would have to be stuck contacting the manufacturer for repairs (which they probably just send me another bad tablet). Good Luck!
Bought because of the great feedback. We have now had 7 to try to get 3 good ones. Charging ports end up going bad on them within a few weeks at best, some end up having screen issues, some have speaker issues, and others will constantly reboot without loading Android. These are all going back! Looked like it was going to be a great deal and if they would have been made better they would have been... but unfortunately they all seem to have problems. I am so tired of these tablets... good riddance Nobis, I will not consider buying any more of your tablets unless the quality of your tables improves tremendously! If you want to keep putting out junk, you are going to keep getting it back!
I like this tablet for the price and the user friendliness. If you can use a Data Phone, you can and will enjoy this one.
I've had this for a day so I can't comment on long term use. I bought this for my 9 year old and think for $69 its pretty good. All the specs are acaccurate verified by Antutu benchmarks. This quad core tablet scored 12,063 which ain't bad for a cheap tablet. Should be able to play most kid games with ease. WiFi connects quickly and did not drop a signal during use. Screen looks better than the insignia flex 8 I bought from best buy. That is going back. Cameras are pretty bad but that's not a deal breaker. Sound is tiny from the one speaker, can't complain about reduced noise as a parent. Will update the longevity of the battery after further testing. Overall if your realistic about what to expect for $69 this is a good buy
Nice looking tablet, but no volume key.... volume is not loud enough to use without headphones. Loaded a couple of apps with no trouble, but when the battery life depleated it would not charge again. I tried to contact the e-mail address listed in the instruction manual, but my message was rejected. There was no telephone number available in any documentation that came with the tablet. I wanted to try a factory reset, but had no idea how to perform on this unit since there was no volume button, and there was nothing anywhere that I could find to actually contact tech support. Very disappointed in the tablet and the service that should have been provided. I barely was able to return it and had difficulty doing so at the store even though I had printed all the required documents and return information.
Tablet seemed to work fine except for the display. There graphic quality is the shortcoming of this product. If you angle it just a little bit the screen appears monochrome, a little more and it fades out completely. I do not mean it literally fades as in a power loss but rather the viewing angle is so narrow that it appears to fade away. My wife has had a 7 " nexus for about a year so I thought I was getting something comparable. It is not. I hope this helps someone.
I've had the 7" Nobis tablet now for two days... The Tablet it's self is better quality than I was expecting... The USB cord is made really cheap... I'm hoping to find and buy a new cord! The tablet does run fast... Great Speed... Chrome Browser, YouTube, and 4KPlayer are working great... I downloaded AVG AntiVirus and Ad Detector to protect my new Tablet (Ad Detector is saying AVG gives out personal info so I will be looking for a new Antivirus program) If you use live wallpapers the battery will drain fast! My cellphone does the same thing so I guess that's just the way it is! Otherwise I think the battery life is good thus far.... If I shut it off and charge it, it charges much quicker! I'm not thrilled with the camera's... I've used the 2mp back camera it's not great but is okay for Pictures and Videos.! But I wasn't expecting great cameras so I can't say I'm disappointed... I haven't used the 0.3 Mp cam on the front yet but I suspect I will hate it but I don't plan on video chatting so no big deal for me! I think the sound is pretty good! The mic seems to work pretty good Only thing that irritates me is I keep hitting 'Take a picture of desktop' button.. I guess I will learn to not do that over time .. LOL My Disappointment is it doesn't support Adobe Flash Player for Facebook games... I can't play Farmville 2 on it.. And I think most Facebook games need this! I did buy a case for the Tablet but when I use it I take it out of the case because it seems to get hot if you have the tablet on and using it for long periods of time. Only makes sense it would. All-in-all I'm happy with the Nobis Tablet and gave it a 5 star rating for price and quality!
Brought two for my kids for Christmas. We checked both before wrapping them. One was 100% charged and the other was 50%. Made sure both would charge and charged the one to 100% before wrapping. They loved them and they worked great when they used them that first day. Actually out did my wife's Kindle HD Fire in speed! We left for vacation the following day, both where charged over night, the one charged to 100% the other only to about 25%. thought she might not have plugged it in all the way so left and plugged it into inverter in truck. Wouldn't charge at all, the other did fine. Finished 11hr trip with only one working! The next day my son tried to charge his (the one that was working) and it wouldn't charge!! Thought that was strange that both would quit with only a few charges on either of them, tried everything from other chargers to charging through a computer and even an external battery, nothing would work!! Chargers where fine, they charged anything else they where plugged too. We spent 5 days and a long ride home without having them for kids to use them. Local Walmart took them back and gave me my money back for them. It is a shame though, when they worked they worked great, but having two do the same thing I did not want to try another and would not recomend them to anyone!
I was trying to decide between this tablet and another that was in the same price range. I decided on this one because it is Quad Core, so far I am very happy with it and am glad that I chose this one. It does very well with Netflix, the picture is very clear. I have not had any trouble with lag or it not wanting to turn on like I did with another tablet we had. Overall I think it is worth what I paid for it.
This is a great price on a quad core tablet. It has an HDMI port as well. I had an Archos that went bad w/HDMI out. I used it for training. I hook up PowerPoint and videos to a TV with HDMI in. Works great. The Archos was 10" and this is 7" so it will be even easier to take around. Beats taking my netbook and hooking up to VGA and audio. Plus my netbook is not optimized for video. I will write another review once i have used it. Still can't beat it for the price and features.
I received this with a half full battery charge so I decided to put some games and apps on it for my 6 year old before I wrapped it and put it under the Christmas tree. My initial thoughts were this tablet is awesome, especially for the price. It was easy to use, nice screen, easy setup. Well I left it to charge for an hour after downloading the apps, came back and the screen wouldn't work. You could tell the backlight was on and it made noises when you touched the screen, but nothing showed on the screen. I returned it to the store the next day for a full refund and bought my son a Nook HD instead.

A Few Minutes Could Save You…
It is quite surprising when we hear of people who have never heard of things we have been doing for a while. One of those things is our Refer-A-Friend program.
In just a few easy steps, we can send your pastor, friends, co-workers, ministry leaders, and/or family members a coupon code to receive 15% off a Logos 4 base package. And to make it worth a few moments of your time, if your recommendation turns into a sale, we give you a $25 gift certificate good toward a web purchase on Logos.com.
To get started, make sure you Sign In to your Logos.com account, and then head on over to www.logos.com/referafriend.
The first step asks you to enter a person's email address and their name. We will use it to send your friend two emails which you will be able to view and customize. And the email will not be added to any lists, so we won't make you look bad.
Next, you see a preview of a plain text email we will send on your behalf. You can easily edit the email to include a personal message if you want, or you can click Next to proceed.
The final step is to select one of seven base packages we include in the program. The default recommendation is set for Scholar's Library as this is our best selling collection, but you have the option to recommend up to Scholar's Library: Platinum.
At this point, you may click Send!, or you can see a preview of the fancy html message we'll send featuring your recommended product.
Chances are, your small group leader would benefit greatly using Leader's Library, and suggesting Scholar's Library or above to your relative heading to seminary would make his or her studies and term papers a whole lot easier. Since the Refer-A-Friend program works for the majority of our collections, you can suggest the collection you think would be most valuable to your friend. And don't worry if you are not sure which collection would be best. If you suggest Scholar's Library and they end up purchasing Scholar's Library: Gold, you'll still get a $25 gift certificate—as long as it is included in the program and they use the coupon code you send them!
You can suggest one of the following collections:
- Scholar's Library: Platinum
- Scholar's Library: Gold
- Scholar's Library: Silver
- Scholar's Library
- Original Languages Library
- Leader's Library
- Bible Study Library
With this ability to offer your friends a discount on a product that hopefully has transformed your devotional times, your sermon or Bible study preparation, or has helped you through seminary, why would you not take a few minutes to run down your list of contacts and send them a quick, pre-formatted email? Not only will you be helping transform their Bible study, you could also "pocket" a cool $25 credit for each person who acts on your recommendation.
So what are you waiting for? Refer-A-Friend Now!

Logos 4: Importing Notes and User-Created Content from LDLS3
Yes, the wait is finally over. Yesterday's announcement of Logos Bible Software 4.0b mentioned what many have been waiting for: Support for importing LDLS3 user-created content.
Specifically, Logos 4.0b now supports importing notes, highlighting, favorites, and prayer lists. Along with this release, regardless if you are importing from LDLS3 or not, Notes now allow for user-editable titles, as well as creating Notes for a reference range, not just a single verse.
So without further ado, let's get your notes from Logos 3 to Logos 4.
Since resources have changed over the years because we've corrected typos, added new hyperlinks, and made other edits, in certain cases, these changes can prevent Logos 4 from importing notes from Libronix DLS 3 correctly. In order to minimize the likelihood of notes not being transferred, we highly recommend you download the Custom Toolbar for LDLS3 that prepares your notes for importing into Logos 4.
Getting the toolbar:
- Download the Custom Toolbar from http://downloads.logos.com/LBS4/LDLS3Import/UpdateNotes.lbxctb and save it to your [MyDocuments]\Libronix DLS\CustomToolbars folder. (See the Special Folder Locations article for OS-specific locations.)
(UPDATE: Please make sure the CustomToolbars folder does not have a space it the title. Use CustomToolbars not Custom Toolbars.)
- Run LDLS3, and click the newly added Update Notes Now button.
- When Update Notes Now finishes, return to Logos 4.
Now are you ready for this? In Logos 4 type Import All into the Command bar, hit enter, and sit back. You'll then see the "Importing…" status message in the upper-right corner of the main window. That's it.
Content imported into Logos 4 "remembers" that it was imported such that consecutive imports can be run in Logos 4, without adverse effects. Changes to imported content in Logos 4 will clear the link between Logos 4 and LDLS3, so if you edit an imported item in Logos 4, and then re-import, you will see the original item from LDLS3 along with the edited item in Logos 4.This is intentional in order to recover an original note without over writing the new content.
If you no longer want to use some of your user-created content from LDLS3, but want other parts, like your extensive Prayer Lists, there are commands for a more targeted import.
Additional Commands:
Import Notes
Imports only notes from LDLS3
Import Highlighting
Imports only highlighting from LDLS3
Import Favorites
Imports only favorites from LDLS3
Import Prayer Lists
Imports only prayers lists from LDLS3
Import delete (All|Notes|Highlighting|Favorites|Prayer Lists)
Deletes all imported content of the specified type
If you were on the fence about upgrading to Logos 4 because you couldn't transfer your Notes, Highlighting, Favorites, or Prayer Lists, now is a great time to upgrade to Logos 4. Logos 4 is now better than ever, and you can be sure we're already working to add additional features.
Logos 4.0b Is Now Available
Mon, March 15, 2010 | Apps & Web Tools, Training 25|

When you see the balloon tooltip window, right-click on the Logos icon in your system tray and choose to "Install update" (screenshot). If Logos 4 hasn't downloaded the update by the end of the day and you just can't wait any longer to get your hands on the latest release, just type Update Now into the command bar (screenshot). This will force Logos 4 to check for any available updates (screenshot) and begin downloading them.

Free Finnish Bible
Do you read Finnish? Or do you know someone who does? Or do you just like free books, even if you can't read them? :)
We've recently released the Logos edition of Raamattu—a Bible from the Finnish Bible Society. Best of all, we're able to offer it for free.
The first Finnish translation of the Bible appeared in 1548 by Mikael Agricola. He used Luther's German Bible as the translation base. In 1632, the Bible was again translated into Finnish, but this time using the original language texts. The complete version appeared in 1642, and new editions were issued in 1685, 1758, and 1776. In the early twentieth century, the need for an updated translation of the Bible into Finnish had become apparent. Work on the new translation was begun in 1911 at the initiative of the Finnish Bible Society and the Finnish Lutheran Church. The first translation work was finished in 1933, and the completed version was published in 1938.
Here's how to add this translation to your library for free:

An Alternate Book of Esther
I was flipping through the Esther volume of the Göttingen Septuagint and saw something unusual:
If you examine this page carefully, you'll see that the top section contains Greek text of a portion of Esther. Under that is a critical apparatus – a shorthand method of documenting manuscript evidence, showing which manuscripts agree with the text above and which manuscripts disagree, and how they disagree.
Then under the apparatus there is second section of Greek text (market by an L in the margin) followed by a second apparatus. We've seen something like this before. The ancient Greek book of Daniel, for example, exists in both the Old Greek and the Theodotion versions, and other editions of the LXX, such as Rahlfs and Swete, have presented both versions of that text either on facing pages or with one version on top of the other. Similar parallel texts are presented for the shorter and longer versions of Tobit and those parts of Joshua and Judges where codices Alexandrinus and Vaticanus disagree. But I've never seen this phenomenon in a printed edition of Esther before.
The marginal 'L' indicates that the text is thought by some scholars to be a Lucianic recension, or revision, of the Septuagint. Lucian was a Christian martyr who died in 312 AD and was famous for comparing the various Greek translations with the Hebrew Scriptures and preparing new Greek texts that were in greater agreement with the Hebrew originals.
However, the L-Text of Esther is different from the Septuagint text in some surprising ways that seem, to some scholars, inconsistent with the Lucianic reforms. The LXX and the L-Text both contain the so-called 'Additions to Esther' not found in the Hebrew Massoretic Text (MT), and the L-Text and LXX are significantly similar for those Additions. But in places where the L-Text and the LXX are clearly translating the same Hebrew, there is very little word for word correspondence. And at several junctures, it seems that the L-Text must be translating a different Hebrew source all-together. Carey Moore in his Anchor Bible volume on Esther, and elsewhere, has argued that the L-Text of Esther is really a fresh translation from a Hebrew original that is, at points, very different from the Hebrew (MT) that we have today. Followers of this line of reasoning usually refer to this as the Alpha-Text or A-Text of Esther, rather than the L-Text. If Moore is right, then the A-Text of Esther isn't so much useful for determining the original text of the Massoretic version of Esther, but is rather more valuable for illuminating a version of Esther that no longer exists in any Hebrew manuscript known today.
Right now the Göttingen Septuagint is gathering interest on our prepublication program, listed at less than 1/10th of the retail price of the print volumes! The prepub has been well received, but we still need a few more orders to confirm that there is enough interest in getting the best Septuagint available into Logos Bible Software. So if you were sitting on the fence with this one wondering what you'd get that isn't already in Rahlfs' or Swete's LXX, the A-Text of Esther is one example of the cool, useful things you'll only see in Göttingen.
P.S. If you're interested in the Septuagint, you might take a peek at Biblical Languages: Reference Grammars and Introductions (19 Vols.), which contains three volumes on the Septuagint: Swete's classic Introduction (which examines the Lucianic recension on pages 80-86), the introductory grammar and chrestomathy by Conybeare and Stock and the reference grammar by Thackeray. If you want to lock in the early bird price, now is the time.
Logos 4: Cross Reference Lookup Bible
Today's post is from Morris Proctor, certified and authorized trainer for Logos Bible Software. Morris has trained thousands of Logos users at his two-day Camp Logos training seminars.
When I studied with print books I had an old, well-used Bible on my desk. This Bible's sole purpose was to look up Bible cross references. Because it was "broken in," I could quickly turn the pages to a desired location. My new Bible always stayed open to the passage I was studying and then it would go to the pulpit with me. With Logos 4 you can designate a "cross reference look-up" Bible while staying in the same location in another Bible. Here's how it works:
Scattered throughout your Logos resources are hyperlinked Bible cross references. Normally when you click a link your Preferred Bible will look up the passage. You can override that default by designating a "target Bible."
- Click the panel menu in your secondary Bible. It can be another copy of your Preferred Bible or a completely different Bible.
- From the panel menu select Send hyperlinks here. Notice a target image appears on the panel menu.
Now when you click a Bible cross reference in any resource, this Bible will jump to that location!
Which Commentary is Best?
Today's guest post is from Dr. Steve Runge, a scholar-in-residence at Logos Bible Software and author of the Lexham Discourse Greek New Testament, Lexham High Definition New Testament, and the forthcoming Discourse Grammar of the Greek New Testament: A Practical Introduction for Teaching and Exegesis.
I get asked this question a lot, a people seems somewhat disappointed by my response of "It depends on what you're doing." It's like being asked what the best tool is in my garage: the answer will always be "the tool best suited to my task," depending on what I'm doing. Here's what I mean.
When tackling a tough passage I'll typically consult scholarly commentaries like the Anchor-Yale Bible or International Critical Commentary volumes, and even from the forthcoming Continental Commentary Series among others. I can guess your first question: "Why in the world would I want to read Claus Westermann on Genesis or Hans-Joachim Kraus on the Psalms, aren't these guys pioneers in source and form criticism?" Why yes, as a matter of fact they are. But they also knew their Hebrew better than most folks alive today, and they have spent most of their lives studying these books in far greater detail than I ever will. I may not share their presuppositions about Scripture, but there is much to commend their exegesis.
One of the biggest hurdles I had to overcome in seminary was being willing to learn from someone with whom I disagreed with on certain issues. I learned to read past differences in order to learn from their expertise. In a previous post I mentioned the value of older commentaries, noting that many times you will find a more robust engagement of the text on works by Godet, Olshausen and Alford, who were not distracted by the modern issues that can preoccupy new commentators. But this is not to say there is never a time to interact with critical scholars. Like any tool, each one has its strengths and weaknesses, each contributes something to the process.
Before you get the wrong impression, you need to know that I also make regular use of more devotional commentaries. The Focus on the Bible Commentaries and Christian Focus Biblical Studies Collection are great examples. Getting the difficult exegetical questions answered is not all there is to studying a passage, you also need to be able to clearly and relevantly communicate what you have learned. If you like the academic side of things like me, you too may struggle with seeing the bigger picture of a passage: the theme, flow or theology of a passage or book. I can have all the greatest information in the world, but it is useless to the congregation if I cannot present it in a way that they can understand.
Most often the more technical issues never get mentioned in the sermon, but are more about me feeling like I have handled them. Less-academically oriented commentaries—yes, even the warm fuzzy ones—are a great safeguard against missing the "forest" because of looking too closely at a piece of bark on a single "tree". I read devotional commentaries just a critically as I do the scholarly ones, sifting wheat from chaff.
So which commentaries are best? The ones that you need for what you are working on. Just like I use my hand saw for some applications and an axe for another, building a diverse collection of commentaries can be a great boon to your study. The academically-oriented volumes can address specific questions, whereas the "lighter" ones can provide great ideas for how best to present what you have found.

A class of pose determination problems in which the sensory data are lines and the corresponding reference data are planes is discussed. The lines considered are different from edge lines in that they are not the intersection of boundary faces of the object. The author describes a polynomial approach that does not require a priori knowledge about the object location. Closed-form solutions for orthogonal, parallel, and coplanar feature configurations of critical importance in real applications are derived. Findings concerning the necessary and sufficient conditions under which the line-to-plane pose determination problem can be solved are described

You tell 'em big red!!! First, kill the OED and then these guys! http://onelook.datamuse.com/?loc=rescb&ref…
We have your support! But please can we keep "golf putting" and "soft pudding". I need those phrases every day. Like, "After a long day of golf putting I like to go to Bacchanalia and treat myself to their delicious soft pudding."
See, that almost had some context to the article!
my willy's going to intervene on your scotus
how is your comment even funny or appropriate today?
Springer Mtn is excellent chicken. That being said, it is another large coorporation in GA screwing local chicken farmers. Tyson and Perdue, both local, drive prices in GA down with their bullshit farming. SM is on the other end, driving prices up because we have no alternative for well treated poultry. GA laws are fucked for chicken, making smaller producers have to go to Alabama or NC to process. The consumer loses out. Don't blame LeRoy for prices cause she's doing the right thing and getting screwed too. Listen, Paula Deen has her own brand of chicken produced for her by SM. Do you really think they need to charge what they do for their product? I love the humane effort towards the chicken, but there is a whole other group being destroyed here in GA that also walks on two legs.
As for the taste of her fried chicken...never been.
But in all seriousness, my grandma might have had some ugly babies, but she did make some damn good scrambled eggs with pig brains!
"Then again, I suspect you find brown and black people equally disgusting in their own ways."
What a clever way to show how against stereotyping and generalizations you are! Could I say that ignorance in GA has more to do with class than ethnicity? Possibly, but some might say, "who gives a shit" once the damage is done. Oh, how to fix that? Educate people? Sure, one needs to figure out the causes to change the effects. That isn't close to what Sedaris' article is about. It's an obvious rant showing the dislike and misunderstanding of a culture's food that takes its cues from a neurosis that I'm sure would manifest itself in the author's mind at most NYC delis. One could see what Sedaris' article could do to American perceptions of Chinese culture, but I don't think anyone reading it is that stupid. Those that can't read are usually burning crosses anyway. Oh yeah, thanks for realizing that us folks down here could make that connection with deep Appalachia for your analogy. I've never been to China, but I sure know a delicious roadkill 'possum stew when I see one! Wait, if that's what has taken over as the standard in Beijing's health code, then maybe we shouldn't eat there. Thanks for the warning!
Holy Baby Jesus! Everyone needs to stop reading this now and head to Inman park to save Lucy before it's too late!!!
True dat, cjd85. And having to compare three countries to one just to get similar results. Not fair.
Wikapedia journalism, but still funny

AbstractWater damage to library materials is an inherent problem for collections of books and documents. Wet books take many days to air dry. Commercial food freeze-drying has been used to remove moisture from wet books and has been instrumental in handling thousands of wet items as a result of floods and plumbing leaks. This method can cause collateral damage; material has to be moved off-site and can take up to six months for processing. Paper is hydroscopic; a bound book can absorb 60% to 200% of its original weight in water. The major damage to bound books is caused by swelling and can force the text block to become detached from its binding. Wet books are subject to mechanical, chemical, and cosmetic damage within hours of becoming damp. Develop a commercially viable method for drying wet books using an organic polymer. Current technology is primarily high-tech, equipment-intensive and fails to address a number of needs within the disaster recovery field. Benefits include: Low-tech method that can be used by a variety of practitioners to get positive results. Speed recovery time to minutes instead of days per book. Delivery system(s) that are portable allowing workers to perform onsite recovery. Potential for cleaner books with little or no residual damage or staining. Low cost per book. Utility for single items or mass treatment with equal benefit.

New D610 Shutter Count
May 11, 2014
Hello. Just bought a new D610. The first photo came up with the number DSC_1135 ... do you think that this number is too high for a new camera or have others seen this kind of count ?.
Oh yes ... it was a new card that I inserted ... so no legacy from that.
I will appreciate your feed-back. Thanks.

Maddie was a beloved Miniature Schnauzer whose unconditional love, devotion, loyalty and spirit inspired her guardians to start a charitable foundation, Maddie's Fund®, in her name. Dave and Cheryl Duffield fell head-over-heels for Maddie when she was only ten days old. "We held her in our arms, and loved her immediately," says Dave. "Maddie melted our hearts from the first second we saw her," adds Cheryl, "with her sweet ways, her stubbornness, her independence, her intelligence, her spirit, and her devotion."
Dave, Cheryl and Maddie shared ten memorable and happy years together. Dave remembers one particularly good day during the formation of his company, PeopleSoft. Playing with Maddie, he picked her up and made the following promise: "If we ever make some money, I promise we will give it back to you and your kind so others can be as happy as we are today."
Dave and Cheryl are fulfilling their promise to Maddie. They have endowed Maddie's Fund with more than $300 million and have spent $118 million through FY 2011-12 to save dog and cat lives. In their lifetime, Dave and Cheryl have given more of their personal wealth to the animal welfare cause than any other individuals. And although they don't want to make a big fuss over their unprecedented contribution, they do want to honor their cherished companion and the special bond they shared with her.
Animal lovers can understand this sentiment. More and more of us view our companion animals as family, giving them the same care and tenderness we provide our two-legged family members. Our pets enrich our lives with their unconditional devotion to us. They enhance our lives with their stability, love and companionship. The rewards of animal companionship are immeasurable. Maddie inspired Dave and Cheryl to give generously to help save homeless pets in desperate need of love and care. Thanks to the dog with the indomitable spirit, shelter pets are afforded new opportunities to find compassionate homes in which they, too, may share in the joy, love and companionship that Dave and Cheryl enjoyed with Maddie.
On behalf of all sheltered dogs and cats, we give thanks to Maddie, whose spirit lives on through the lives her memorable gift has touched.
More information about Maddie, and Maddie's Fund, can be found at the Maddie's Fund website.
The mission of Alachua County Animal Services is to promote public safety for the welfare of citizens and animals. We accomplish this through education, adoption, sheltering, enforcement, and the rescue of animals that may be stray, injured, unwanted, neglected, or abused.

Karla's Profile
Welcome to Remixed Stitches!
I love to create "remixed" items by stitching new and old fabrics together to create fun unique items with "character" that you won't find in those big discount stores. I've been fortunate to have my items pictured in the following national publications; Decorating Junk Market Style (book), Junk Market Style (magazine), and Flea Market Style (magazines 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014).
My personal passions (in no particular order) are sewing, reading good mysteries, working in my flower beds, golf, decorating our home, attending Flea Markets, and volunteering at a local Greyhound adoption group, Bay Area Greyhound Adoptions Inc.

A Semantic Approach to English Grammar / Edition 2by R. M. W. Dixon, Robert M. Dixon
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 10/15/2005
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
This book shows how grammar helps people communicate and looks at the ways grammar and meaning interrelate. The author starts from the notion that a speaker codes a meaning into grammatical forms which the listener is then able to recover: each word, he shows, has its own meaning and each bit of grammar its own function, their combinations creating and limiting the possibilities for different words. He uncovers a rationale for the varying grammatical properties of different words and in the process explains many facts about English-such as why we can say I wish to go, I wish that he would go, and I want to go but not I want that he would go.
The first part of the book reviews the main points of English syntax and discusses English verbs in terms of their semantic types including those of Motion, Giving, Speaking, Liking, and Trying. In the second part Professor Dixon looks at eight grammatical topics, including complement clauses, transitivity and causatives, passives, and the promotion of a non-subject to subject, as in Dictionaries sell well.
This is the updated and revised edition of A New Approach to English Grammar on Semantic Principles. It includes new chapters on tense and aspect, nominalizations and possession, and adverbs and negation, and contains a new discussion of comparative forms of adjectives. It also explains recent changes in English grammar, including how they has replaced the tabooed he as a pronoun referring to either gender, as in When a student reads this book, they will learn a lot about English grammar in a most enjoyable manner.

R.M.W. Dixon is Professor and Director of the Research Centre for Linguistic Typology at LaTrobe University
