Meditation Tutorial

This is a fairly well known meditation. Sit or lie with your body in a comfortable position. The room should be either dark or the lighting dim. If this is not possible, make sure your face faces away from the light. The room should also be quiet.

Now tighten all the muscles of your body, and fix your gaze on a spot straight ahead. Slowly begin to count down from hundred to zero - at the same time, begin to completely relax the muscles of your body, starting with your toes and moving upwards - first relax your toes, then the feet, then the calves, the thighs, stomach and back, arms, etc. - all the time, while you're doing this, continue to count down from 100 to 0. When the muscles of your face are relaxed (and of course, by this time, your whole body is relaxed as well), gently close your eyes. Now your body is completely relaxed

Now, with your eyes closed, imagine yourself in a crowded place, full of people, full of bright, glaring lights and loud noises. Imagine yourself going down an escalator, leaving the 'plane' of the noise behind. The next 'level' the escalator comes to is quieter - there are less people, less lights, less noise. You leave this plane behind too, and continue to move down on the escalator. The next level you come to is even quieter - there is hardly anyone about, not much noise at all, and the lights are positively dim.

You continue to move down, level by level, until you come to a point where it is perfectly dark, perfectly quiet, and you are completely alone. There is nothing in the universe now but you - in a sense, at this point, you ARE the universe - YOUR universe. You lie down on a bed (you don't see it, you just know it's there) - it is so comfortable, you are so calm and relaxed, so detached from everything, just a calm, calm being resting in the center of darkness, at the center of the universe. There is nothing but you.

Remain this way for some time. Feel peace. Then, when you are ready to 'leave', 'get on the escalator' and rise again to the level of light and noise and indeed, the level of life The meditation is complete.


I trust this will be useful to someone. It is very good for reducing stress and calming the mind.

Download Videos From Sites & Convert It., especially sites like youtube, google etc...

This tutorial shows you how to download videos from sites like YouTube, Google, Break etc, which runs is in the extension of .flv(Flash Video), and then convert it to .avi or .mpg format.

First of all, go to http://keepvid.com

This site support the download of the sites listed below.

Angry Alien, ArtistDirect, Blastro, Blennus, Blip.tv, Bofunk, Bolt, Break.com, Castpost, Current TV, Dailymotion, DevilDucky, FindVideos, Free Video Blog, Google Video, Grinvi, Grouper, iFilm, LuluTV, Metacafe, Midis.biz, Music.com, MusicVideoCodes.info, MySpace, MySpace Video Code, Newgrounds, PcPlanets, Pixparty, Putfile, REVVER, Sharkle, StreetFire, That Video Site, The One Network, VideoCodes4U, VideoCodesWorld, VideoCodeZone, vidiLife, VIDNET.com, Vimeo, vSocial, Web62.com, YouTube and ZippyVideos.

Then you'll be greeted by a line which tells you to download video direct from sites. Now go to your video site which you want to download from, then find the video that you wanted to download. Then when the page of the video you desire is loaded, click on the address bar of the page you wanted and right click it, then click "copy".

Go back to the KeepVid site and paste the address into the textbox there(right click on the textbox and click paste) and select the site that you are downloading from at the right drop down menu. Then click download.

A box will show up below label grey in color with the word "Download" in the heading... Right click on the "›› Download Link ‹‹" and click save as. Change the file extension to .flv. Wait for the video to finish the downloading. And then when it's finished the flash video is now save into your computer.



Now time for converting into a nice .avi or .mpg format which we can easily deal with.

Go to http://www.download.com/Riva-FLV-Encoder/3...&tag=button

Download the Riva FLV Encoder 2 and save it into your desktop. Run the installer and follow the instruction. After it has finished installing, open up the Riva FLV Encoder. Then at the input section click on the browse button, and search for the video you have downloaded. Then click on the browse button of the output section and select your destination folder. The default output name will be shown with extension .flv and change the output name extension to .avi or .mpg instead of .flv. Play with those settings at the right to ensure you get the correct video you wanted. Then click the encode button.



Note: Some encoding will result in the lost of audio. If in that case happens I suggest you use Audacity and combine with the .avi or .mpg product from your encoding.

I've not encounter this problem but I'll try to experiement with this features and then edit this tutorial again with the fix.

During encoding, there may be a FFMPEG window which will popup and will disappear once the encoding is finish.


There you are, a nicely done up video in the extension you wanted from a site you think you could never download from! I've tried it out a couple of times and it works great! Hope you guys will like this tutorial.

PS: There maybe a certain codec you need to download in order to view your video, go to http://www.free-codecs.com/The_Codecs_download.htm to download the codec.
