LOL its not san shou v MT, its a san shou guy fighting in MT and beating a MT guy!
I could go further into Marvin Perrys traditional kung fu back ground. On another board years ago I suggested that Marvin Perry was a Thai Boxer who is fighting in San shou, only to be harshly corrected by his coach.
Anyway, I only posted the clip so I can see TBK rant and push his 'hey, they punch and kick well, it must be Thai Boxers' agenda.
I find it sad that on this forum, a forum ment to promote effective MA, that any art that proves to be effective is lumped in with thai boxing.

In a major victory for gay rights, the Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down a provision of a federal law denying federal benefits to married gay couples and cleared the way for the resumption of same-sex marriage in California.
The justices issued two 5-4 rulings in their final session of the term. One decision wiped away part of a federal anti-gay marriage law that has kept legally married same-sex couples from receiving tax, health and pension benefits.
Many celebrities took to Twitter to react to the ruling.

Duke misses out on Zeigler
In March, guard Trey Zeigler announced he was visiting Duke after being granted permission to transfer following his second season with Central Michigan.
According to Jeff Goodman's Twitter account, @GoodmanCBS, the 6-foot-5 guard will not join the Blue Devils, however, instead opting to go to Pittsburgh.
Duke was thought to be among the favorites for the swingman, who averaged 15.8 points and 6.7 rebounds in his sophomore season. The Blue Devils recruited him coming out of high school after missing out on Harrison Barnes, but Zeigler instead chose to play for his father's Chippewas. When his father, Ernie Zeigler, was fired it set into motion the events leading to Trey's transfer.
Head coach Mike Krzyzewski and the Duke staff are still awaiting the decision from high school seniors Shabazz Muhammad, Tony Parker and Amile Jefferson. Those three can sign National Letters of Intent as soon as April 11, and Muhammad and Parker have both indicated that they will decide at the beginning of the signing period, which runs through May 16.
Krzyzewski and assistant coach Steve Wojciechowski visited with Muhammad this weekend, after recently making a final visit with Parker as well. Muhammad, a wing player, is the No. 2-rated recruit in the nation according to ESPNU, while Parker is the 26th-best recruit and seventh best center in the class.

American Samoa, officially Territory of American Samoa, unincorporated territory of the United States consisting of the eastern part of the Samoan archipelago, located in the south-central Pacific Ocean. It lies about 1,600 miles (2,600 km) northeast of New Zealand and 2,200 miles (3,500 km) southwest of the U.S. state of Hawaii. The territory, which is part of Polynesia, includes the six Samoan islands east of the 171° W meridian. Samoa (formerly Western Samoa), its closest neighbour and a self-governing country, consists of the nine Samoan islands west of the meridian. American Samoa includes the inhabited islands of Tutuila, Tau, Olosega, Ofu, and Aunuu, along with an uninhabited coral atoll named Rose Island. Swains Island, an inhabited coral atoll, about 280 miles (450 km) northwest of Tutuila and physiographically separate from the archipelago, was made a part of American Samoa in 1925. The capital of American Samoa is Pago Pago, on Tutuila.
Except for the coral atolls, the islands of American Samoa were formed within the past seven million years by volcanic activity; their interiors are high and rugged. The main island of Tutuila, with an area of 52 square miles (135 square km), rises steeply above deep inlets. The most notable of these inlets is Pago Pago Harbor, which divides the island nearly in two. Tutuila's highest point is Matafao Peak (2,142 feet [653 metres]). The Manua island group (Tau, Olosega, and Ofu islands), situated about 60 miles (100 km) east of Tutuila, constitutes the second largest island area. Coral reefs are common at the extremities of the islands, particularly Tutuila; some of the reefs form barriers that enclose lagoons.
American Samoa's climate is tropical, and precipitation is ample. Pago Pago receives about 200 inches (5,000 mm) annually. Most streams carry greater volumes of water in the highlands than near the sea and do not reach the ocean; rather, they filter into the porous basalt rocks. Hence, coastal wells provide much of the water supply. Temperatures are unusually constant; average temperatures range from the high 60s to the low 90s F (about 21 to 32 °C). Average humidity is 80 percent. The moderate southeast trade winds prevail, but severe storms can occur during the wet season, from November to March.
Plant and animal life
Rainforests with tall ferns and trees cover the mountainous interiors of the islands. Plantations of taro, coconut, and other food crops are located on the coasts. Although the islands are not rich in animal life, some of their bird species—such as the rare tooth-billed pigeon—are unique. Wildlife includes flying foxes (a type of bat), lizards, rats, snakes, and pigs. The islands also have myriad and ubiquitous flying and crawling insects.
The great majority of the population (nearly nine-tenths) is ethnically Samoan; there are tiny minorities of Tongan, Asian, and European origin. The Samoans are a Polynesian people closely related to the native peoples of New Zealand, French Polynesia, Hawaii, and Tonga. The Samoan way of life, or fa'a Samoa, is communal. The basic unit of social organization is the extended family (aiga). Even after decades of foreign influence, most Samoans are fluent in the Samoan language. Most American Samoans nonetheless also speak English. Some three-fifths of the population belongs to one of several Protestant denominations, among which the Congregational Christian Church has the largest following. Another one-fifth of the population is Roman Catholic, and slightly more than one-tenth is Mormon.
Most people live in coastal villages. Pago Pago, the only real urban area, is the main port and administrative and commercial centre. There is a large proportion of foreign-born residents in American Samoa; more than two-fifths of the people were born outside the territory, largely in Samoa, with smaller proportions from the United States, Tonga, various Asian countries, and other Pacific islands. Additionally, since the mid-20th century many American Samoans have migrated to the United States, with the result that there are more American Samoans abroad than on the islands. The rate of population growth has increased rapidly since the late 20th century, however, mainly because of high birth rates and low death rates.
The economy is based on services and manufacturing. The government is the main employer. A large part of the national income comes in the form of grants from the U.S. federal government. Tuna canning (by American-owned canneries) and tourism are major industries. Agriculture is organized on a semicommercial basis for the production of taro, bananas, tropical fruits, and vegetables. Traditional family gardens produce coconuts, breadfruit, and yams. Production nearly meets domestic needs, and the U.S. government has implemented programs to increase production to self-sufficiency levels. The United States is the main source of imports (which include fish destined for the canneries, consumer goods, food, and mineral fuels), although Australia and New Zealand also export goods to American Samoa. The United States is also the primary destination for exports, which consist mostly of canned tuna, along with a small amount of pet food.
A major public works program on American Samoa from the 1970s to the '90s increased the number of miles of paved roads, mostly on the island of Tutuila. Pago Pago is the only major port. An international airport is located on Tutuila, and smaller airstrips operate on other islands.
Government and society
Constitutional framework
Because American Samoa is an unincorporated, unorganized territory of the United States, not all provisions of the U.S. Constitution apply. Moreover, the United States has not provided an organic (charter) act setting forth a system of government. Instead, the U.S. secretary of the interior, who has had jurisdiction over the territory since 1951, gave American Samoa the authority to draft its own constitution (1967). The people are U.S. nationals (with the right to enter and reside in the United States) but not citizens. The territory's chief executive, according to the constitution of 1967, is the governor. In 1976 American Samoans approved a referendum that provided for the popular election of the governor and lieutenant governor for four-year terms; prior to that time, the governor was appointed by the U.S. government. The minimum voting age is 18.
American Samoa has a bicameral legislature, called the Fono, which meets for two sessions each year. It is autonomous in its disposition of local revenues and is the sole lawmaking body, although the governor has the power to veto legislation. The members of American Samoa's House of Representatives (lower house) are elected by universal suffrage to two-year terms; one member is a nonvoting delegate elected from Swains Island. Members of the Senate (upper house) are chosen by councils of chiefs, in accordance with Samoan custom, to serve four-year terms. In 1981 the first official nonvoting delegate from American Samoa to the U.S. House of Representatives was elected. The United States is responsible for defense.
1Including the appointed nonvoting delegate from Swains Island.
2The seat of the legislature, as defined by the Constitution of American Samoa, is at Fagatogo, one of a number of villages within an urban agglomeration collectively known as Pago Pago.

I like this eyeshadow. I just bought this 2 days ago. The color is a nice bronze and it is nice for a neutral eye. My skin is rosy pale but it still looks good on me, surprisingly enough. I can't say it really does much to flatter brown eyes but it still is a nice color. I'm sure that it would look incredible with green eyes or blue eyes. It is pretty expensive but if you like neutral colors, go for it!
Edit: It kind of looks like bronzer on my eye. The color looks too bronze for my skin.

This is kind of a review for all of the UD shadows but this one is up there the great ones. I have NC37-42 Skin tone (use a mix of Stromoli and Syracuse when I wear foundation) and dont look good in cool e/s colors. I also have heavily pigmented lids so that's always an issues as well.
I dont really wear e/s anymore but was drawn in by the hype of this palette and given how perfect they are for my skintone, how many great looks are out there, and the AMAZING butter like consistency of the UD shadows how can you go wrong. You literally slap any 2 of these on with any decent brush and you look like you spend hours on your eye m/u.
I knew I wouldnt wear often enough to justify a purchase of the palette but was lucky enough to get this depot in a swap (along with Hustle and Dark Horse). Those is a nutshell are my 3 favs from this palette...I already own Woodwinked, Vanilla, Shroom, Cork, and Sitla GoLightly..so besides Naked and the dark colors I would never wear ( and side car ugh!) have successfully duped the palette with less glittery shades in a more travel friendly palette..so psyched! I think i might be done buying eye shadow for life BUT if I find the depot of naked somwhere...
ANYWAYS. now that I have bored you with that but in case anyone else is trying to find dupes ...
So this shadow is awesome ..it's just warm enough to work on my skintone but pinky enough to not be a dark shadow. Its very shimmery but not glittery. Like all of the UD shadows its like butter..goes well with all the other shades , and lasts for forever. It's never something I would have looked at my own...
I can see this looking great on everyone! Now my problem is find more reasons to wear e/s!

Love this. Hit the pan on this. I have it in two UD palettes i own, Naked and Show Pony. It seems to be better quality in Show Pony. Use this every day, best neutral with some pep I have ever used, and it lasts and lasts and lasts all day with no primer. Very good quality eye shadow and an amazing universally flattering color.

I love this shadow. My favorite way to wear it is as a crease color with Sin or Naked over my lid. I can't say enough about it-- just go buy it!

It is a bronze/rose (pink) color. There is slight shimmer but no glitter in it like some of the other Urban Decay eyeshadows. Very wearable day or night. Can be used by itself as all over lid color or used with other eye shadows
This shade is very similar to Mac's e/s Sable. You won't need both as they are similar.

I love this so much. I really, really love this. Again, LOVE.
Now, down to the review. I got this in the naked palette, so I can't really speak for the packaging/price (as I got it really cheap when you divide up the price of the palette!) but it is SOOOO PRETTY.
It wears really well (I always wear a primer, fyi) and it just looks stunning. I wear this in two ways:
1) Smokey- I pat this onto my lid for more colour, blend out with UD naked, put UD hustle in the crease and outer V, UD virgin in the inner corner and put on brown gel liner and mascara.
2) More every day- I blend this all over the lid with a mac 217, blend the edges really well with UD naked, and use UD hustle as eyeliner. Then I wear brown or black mascara.
I don't know why, but this really complements my blue eyes and makes them stand out more. It is also a very complex, versatile shade I would really recommend.
Just so you know: I am very pale and blond, and this doesn't wash me out (like a lot of colours do)
I plan to buy this when I hit pan on my palette!

This is my favorite crease color of all time (ok, maybe tied with smog). On me it's a gorgeous plummy brown, on my much tanner cousin it's a lovely crease shade, on me in my signature look I apply Clinique lucky penny on the lid and this in the crease, paired with top wet n wild creme liner and covergirl mascara to make a pretty almost-neutral wide awake school look.

I. LOVE. This. Shadow!
Three days ago, I was in Sephora (for the first time!!!) and I asked a SA how to get the look of a model on one of the photos in the store. She had similar coloring to me and had the "no-makeup makeup" look. She referred me to a MA who, at first, gave me the "photo ready" version of the look: silver and brown GLITTERY shades. After convincing her that I just want a "my eyelids but better", slightly shimmery, defining shade that will help me look pulled together and polished with little effort, she applied this color to my eyelids. Then I looked in the mirror and saw not only my eyelids but better, but my eyes, but browner! I was waffling about spending ~$18 for this shadow, but it was too late. I was hooked.
Toasted looks unassuming in the pan, but transforms into something really nice on my lids. On me, it's a bronze with the same intensity as my skintone, but with pinky undertones. Paired with a dark brown liner, it gives my eyes subtle definition without screaming "I have on makeup!" It blends seamlessly and, with my ELF eyelid primer, lasts all day. Even without primer, it lasts for hours without creasing or disappearing.
I say all that to say this: I love, love, love this shadow. From reading the reviews, it seems universally flattering, so I encourage anyone to give it a try.

After having this eye shadow for almost a year now, I think it deserves a fair (and very positive) review. Eye shadows have a notoriously bad relationship with my eyes, which are slightly darker than the rest of my medium/tan-yellow skintone (NW35-40) and very oily. Most shades look very different on my eye than when swatched, even with primer. This is perhaps the only eye shadow I own which looks amazing on my eye but rather unassuming in the pan. It is a versatile lavendar/taupe/light bronze with a tinge of peach that works well with warm skintones. The finish is about 2/3 satin and 1/3 frost, but a very light frost that is more like a soft shimmer. It goes on beautifully with just my fingers - I rarely use a brush - and blends into my crease without darkening it. It almost melts into my skin and brightens my eyes - which lo and behold, is what a good shadow in this shade range is suppose to do - rather than change on me. No muddiness, no unexpected and darker gathering of the shadow into my crease. This is the only shadow I care to travel with, and it works both for day and night. I gave it a 4 for price because it is much less expensive that the complicated formulas of more high-end shadows today, but obviously more expensive than drugstore brands. Would repurchase if I ever hit the pan.

Zedd Releases Full Length 'Moment Of Clarity' DocumentaryPosted in Bangin, Chill, News, Video by nick | Tags: Documentary, Foxes, Moment Of Clarity, Zedd
Anton Zaslavski aka "Zedd", the German producer who became an international star in 2013 thanks to his Clarity album which won a grammy for the album's lead single "Clarity" featuring Foxes. He set out on a year long Clarity Tour in support of the album and brought out a show no one would forget. Anyone who was lucky enough to catch a date of the tour was treated to a custom light and laser production setup that could light up a stadium, yet was brought to venues that were much smaller for an epic experience.
This 30 minute long documentary really captures the journey, from Zedd personally setting up the production on the first night to discussing speaking with Skrillex online for the first time to reaching out to Hayley Williams and the entire release around 'Stay The Night' and much much more. This really lets you see a more personal side of Zedd showing you not only what nice of a guy he is, but also how hands on he is with the entire business of him as an artist which is rare to see.
To see Zedd experience such a level of success is really incredible making us think back to when Thissongissick actually brought out Zedd for one of his first shows in the US ever in Boulder, CO at the even more intimate Fox Theatre in 2011.

MTV hasn't been covering music in quite some time; their programming is almost exclusively filled with reality shows with the occasional award show. So earlier this year when we heard they would be covering the iconic TomorrowLand, we were both suprised and excited. They have released 3 hours of a documentary covering the 10 year history of the event and this year's actual festival.
For those who haven't been able to go quite yet this might be your best case of getting over FOMO until next year, or TomorrowWorld later this month. Enjoy!

The 2013 edition saw the MDBP expand from five stops to thirteen as cities like Las Vegas, Detroit, Ft. Lauderdale, Atlanta, and were treated a full day of partying with some of electronic music's biggest artists from multiple genres. Major Lazer, Zeds Dead, Flosstradamus, Danny Brown, Matt & Kim, Riff Raff, Baauer, Big Gigantic, Dillon Francis, Griz and many more were all on hand at various stops along the way. They are talking about an even bigger event next year with potential stops at places ranging from Mexico City to Cleveland to Haiti haha.

Fantastic pad, but a bit pricey
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The ExPed Synmat UL 7 is one of the best sleeping pads I have ever used. The weight of the pad is perhaps the lightest you can go while maintaining the signature comfort of the ExPed brand. The 2.8 in. that the Synmat UL 7 provides is more than enough to keep you off the ground, and the insulation is quite enough to keep you warm all the way down to freezing temperatures.
In comparison to the Therm-o-Rest XLite pad, the ExPed contests weight-wise, without sounding like an opened bag of potato chips. With they SynMat UL 7, you get maximum comfort with minimum weight. Try it. You'll see what I'm talking about.
In short, the ExPed UL 7 is my favorite sleeping pad that I have used, and I am, without a doubt, going to continue to use ExPed products in the future.

Problem Installing Fedora Core 6 with 8800GTX
I have a Dell XPS 710 with dual 8800GTX cards and I am trying to do a fresh install of Fedora Core 6. Everytime the Anaconda setup gets to the point of Probing my video card, it probes it, then I get a clear blue screen display shown and nothing happens after that.
I tried to use text-only mode from the setup command-line "linux text" and that didn't work. Then I saw someone say they disabled acpi by using the cmd string "linux noapic acpi=off". So I tried that and I tried "linux text noapic acpi=off". Still I get the machine sitting there just after probing the video card.
Has anyone run across this issue?? The XPS 710 uses the nForce 590 SLI MCP board. I tried it with both a single SATA drive and then a single IDE drive. I don't know what to try now.

Very nice, grandson loves it! Excellent price.Read More
Poor Quality
I bought this because I thought it would go perfectly with my 2-year-old son's "rocket ship" room. The sheets are way too big for his standard twin size mattress, nor are they very fitted. The fabric is hot and doesn't breathe. When I washed the sheets with other like-colored clothes, the dyes bled out - and now a whole load of laundry (including my favorite jacket!) is completely ruined. I plan on returning this hunk of junk.Read More
The sheet set was so soft and good quality
I loved the sheets and spreads I received for my grandson's bedrooms, the quality was good and colors vivid on the spread. Most of all it was a great value!Read More
Poor quality
The print on this comforter is really cute- exactly what I was looking for for my son's outer space-themed room.. However the photo & description on the site say it reverses to a solid gray-it does not. It is a bright blue on the reverse side. Also, the fabric is a really cheap feeling polyester.. While the site does say that, it says 'polyester microfiber' ... Misleading in my opinion.. It's not like any microfiber i have come across, it's a non-breathable shiny fabric. The comforter is the same material.Read More
Soft but runs big
My son loves these sheets but they are too big for his standard size twin mattress. The fitted sheet really isn't all that fitted and the comforter has a spot on it that refuses to be anything other than wrinkled and a bit stiff no matter how many times I wash it. If my son didn't love it so much I'd return it but try taking away a space ship blanket from a 2 year old!Read More
I am very pleased with this comforter set.
Yes I would recommend this product to a friend. My grandson loves it.Read More
son loves it
soft, comfortable, vibrant colors and very cool designs on it. My 4 yr old loves it and can't wait to go to bed at night to lay in his silky sheets as he says.Read More
Great buy
I purchased two of these sets for twin beds I have set up in my grandson's playroom. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on bedding since he doesn't live with me, so this set was perfect. My 2 year old grandson loves rockets and planets, so we got that added bonus. The sheets didn't pill after washing which happens to cheaper sheets. I do wish the set included dust ruffles as I had to buy some solids later, but overall this was a great purchase.Read More
Questions & Answers
because my friends son whom is 5 really wanted the rocket sheets and because i love him. but im sad that i just couldnt buy in the store due to none available
My 6 year old son just got a twin size bed, and was super excited about picking out his own bedding. He saw this one, and thought that was what he would like to sleep in!
Is this 100% cotton?

Dr. Peter Doris's Ratings
Wouldn't trust any Doctor more than I trust Dr Doris! He can be very frank, but sometimes this is needed. I appreciate him telling me "I don't know", when he doesn't know instead of making something up. He was the only Dr during my ordeal (which continues) to tell me how strong I am when I was feeling overwhelmed and felt like I had no fight left in me. If it were a life and death situation, I'd want him to be my surgeon. At 37, being told you may have a very rare, aggressive form of breast cancer that usually has progressed to the lymph nodes by the time it is found is scary. Having Dr Doris tell you, I will do whatever it takes to get you diagnosed and taken care of as soon as possible, is peace of mind.

Dr. Doris may be regarded as a fine surgeon, but with me (a breast cancer patient) he was arrogant (his only comment being, "yeah it occurs 98% of the time on the left" after asking me to show the lump), and incapable. My breast cancer was very close to the surface of the skin and after surgery he told me "thought" he had excised all of the tumor but "couldn't be sure" because he could not recall exactly where the tumor was in relation to the skin! Having worked in an Oncology wing of a hospitals before, I know doctors should have a FAR better understanding of margins (location of the outer extensions of the tumor) than he apparently did. He himself told me that, as a result of him "losing his place" I had to have radiation treatment in the event he had missed some of the tumor - outrageous!

Dr Peter Dosis performed colon cancer surgery on me one year ago. Much to my delight I'm now discharged by the B.C. Cancer Agency and reported to be cancer free. Although I encountered a few glitches in our medical system I credit the experience, high skill and professional conduct of Dr. Peter Doris and his staff for my successful secovery. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing his service.

Dr. Peter Doris is an exceptional surgeon. Anyone who gets to see him as their surgeon is a very lucky patient. He has provided me nothing but the best care and information I could ever hope for. I have seen him for more than 25 years with various surgeries along the way. Selfishly, I dread the time when he will decide to retire.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr.Doris. Ten years ago he properly diagnosed breast cancer after being misdiagnosed for 18 months and then performed my mastectomy. 3 months after chemo he performed a difficult pancreatic surgery. He explains everything clearly and kindly and is very knowledgable in his field. Other doctors have commented on how great my scars are! My mastectomy scar is particularily thin.I reccommend Dr. Doris to everyone.

Tarnation, besides having a cash crop of tomatoes, is ,also, a haven for draft dodgers. The Dodgers draft them and sign them up at the post office there. Sometimes they just join the farm team and plant lots of beefsteak tomatoes, instead.
They are baby tomatoes. A beefsteak and a roma sometimes have a love child. They RELISH it.

Wierd Graphics problem FX5200
:angel: Hiyas guys!
I'm having horrible in-game graphics problems, and hope someone here can help me figure what's wrong. :confused: Please?
I have a FX5200 128mb in my machine, and it worked fine for about the last year. Never overclocked, etc. A couple of days ago a friend of mine was having video problems with her GeForce4 Ti4200 64mb, so I pulled mine out to test it. After testing, I reinstalled my FX5200. My desktop graphics and graphics in photo editing programs look the same as usual: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...n/desktop3.jpg
Unfortunately, when I try to play a game like Unreal Tournament, this is what I get: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...vixen/afu2.jpg
I have these problems when I play using Direct3D drivers. When I try it with OpenGL, the game just locks and I have to do a hard restart. The color problem is also present in games like the Sims and Unral Tournament 2004, etc. When I run dxdiag, the image I get during the direct3d test is: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y266/ladyvixen/d3d.jpg
Steps I've taken trying to fix the problem:
1. Uninstall/reinstall latest drivers
2. Uninstall/reinstall older version drivers
3. Checked to make sure fan was spinning
4. Reseat card
5. Moved PCI sound card and NIC to different slots on motherboard. (MANY times)
6. Returned all cards to their original spots. (Same config for ~ last year)
7. Reformatted my Hard drive, and fresh install of XP Pro and all programs.
After the reformat, everything worked fine/ran smooth. I played a few rounds of Unreal Tournament before bed last night... I was happy! :)
This morning I turned on my computer, and the same problems are back. :(
Any suggestions as to what can be causing this? Is my card dying?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: Wierd Graphics problem FX5200
Ouch! by chance how does your voltages look, at your PSU? I have seen problems caused by switching cards to another systems and having bad PSU affect your good card, rare but it does happen from time to time.
Do you have a harddrive image of a fresh install of Windows, this might be the time to clean install. I have seen it happen to video cards, PCI cards the register gets whacked, even if you use regcleaner, or other apps that say it fixes the problem.
This is true for most Windows I know some people that will reinstall every three or four months regardless of the current state of their system. If you do a reinstall make sure you erase, or better yet secure erase your drive, or at least reformat the drive.
Re: Wierd Graphics problem FX5200
Voltages are all stable and within normal range. (Both machines)
As far as windows reinstall, I did do a full reformat of my hard drive and installed all drivers and applications from scratch after these problems started. It fixed the problem until I turned my machine off last night, then reappeared when I restarted my system this morning. Everything works perfectly except for games.
BTW, I'm one of those people that regularly reinstalls windows about every 3 months or so. :D
Re: Wierd Graphics problem FX5200
BIOS/IRQ settings? Try disabling Fastwrites? AGP Chipset Drivers?

Some good movies wouldn't get screened if it weren't for film festivals and the dedicated people who organize them.
If you go
What: Fourth annual Charleston Film FestivalWhen: Thursday-SundayWhere: Terrace Theatre, 1956 Maybank HighwayPrice: $10 per show; $77 festival pass allows entrance to all showsmore info: 762-4247, terracetheater.org or charlestonfilmfest.com
Paul Brown, owner of the Terrace Theater on James Island, is a one-time film producer and perennial cinema enthusiast who loves good visual storytelling and insists on sharing his passion with the community.
The fourth annual Charleston Film Festival, an intensive four-day festival hosted by the Terrace, seeks to "fill a void" left by mainstream commercial theater chains that can't, or won't, offer independent movies, documentaries and other auteur cinema, he said.
"The film festival allows me to show unusual films that wouldn't normally screen here," Brown said.
A dozen feature-length films and four shorts are scheduled to be screened Thursday through Sunday, including the thriller "Inescapable"; the critically acclaimed drama "Rust and Bone," featuring Marion Cotillard; Michael Apted's latest in his "Up" series; and the well-received documentary about climate change called "Chasing Ice."
The festival also will feature films of local interest, including the star-studded feature film "Savannah" and the documentary "The Education of Harvey Gantt."
The following are reviews of some of the films showing at the festival.

Is Higher Education Going To Crash? It is a subject few want to address but may be the next big crisis facing Gov. Rick Snyder's administration.
No, it has nothing to do with the City of Detroit, but everything to do with the future of higher education in Michigan. Education DOES matter. There has been much debate swirling around our public schools and municipalities which have failed to lead, manage, and control spiraling health care and pension costs and are now engulfed by debt, layoffs, service elimination and in some cases, the appointment of emergency managers or draconian consent agreements to reign in costs and mismanagement.
Why should we think some of our institutions of higher learning may not be subject to these same pressures and maladies?
According to a story in The Economist, The College-Cost Calamity, many American universities are in financial trouble and have been piling on debt at alarming rates. Between university debt, changing demographics, legacy costs, competition from for-profit educational institutions, soaring student debt, state funding cut backs, philanthropy drying-up and skyrocketing tuition and fees, we may be heading for a crisis.

FIFA 12 – Top Five Strikers
In this guide I will show you the top five Strikers for Fifa 12 Ultimate Team, and the rest of the game in general.
I will also show a price range of the player, which is subject to change with the market. All players are ranked from my own personal views, if you have any comments to be afraid to message me, or comment below.
5. Falcao – Falcao plays for Atletico Madrid in the Liga BBVA. Falcao is an all round good striker. He has good pace and a fairly decent dribbling stat. Although not the tallest player, Falcao can still score goals with his head, as he has 88 heading. Average Price 7000-8000 coins.
4. Doumbia – Doumbia plays for CSKA Moscow in the Russian League. Doumbia is one of the fastest players in the game, with an incredible 94 pace! He literally tears apart the opponents defences and can easily score with his great finishing. Average Price 2000-3000 coins.
3. Lukaku – Lukaku plays for Chelsea in the Barclays Premier League. Lukaku is an amazing striker. The two main stats that shine out from him are his strength (94!) and his pace (86). With 4 star skills, Lukaku is also a good skiller, because if you lose the ball with him, he can easily get it back almost knocking down anyone in his path. Average Price 1000-2000 coins.
2. Abel Hernandez – Hernandez plays Palermo in the Serie A. Hernandez has some very good stats for how cheap he is. Some of the stats however don't always tell the truth. For example, his shooting stat is only 71, but it feels more like 85+ as he has so much power and can easily find the net. Hernandez has 90 pace and can decimate any defence. Average Price 900-1200 coins. Bargain.
1. Pato – Pato plays for Milan in the Serie A. Coming in at number 1 is Alexandre Pato. Pato is all round the best striker in the game, who is quite easily affordable. With 87 pace and 5 Star Skills he will get you tons of goals, as he can combine these stats with his 85 dribbling. He also has incredible long shots and his shooting is excellent. Although not the cheapest striker you can get, I would say he is very much worth every coin you spend on him, if you have the money, definitely pick him up. Average Price 27500-32500 coins.

Subject: Render problem in Blender
Hi all:
I don't often have this problem with objects I model within Blender, but if I find a model I like created in another app, it often imports into blender very large because not all apps use the same "unit size".
That said, I had found a Hexagon model years ago that I just opened in Hex and exported as OBJ, and then imported into Blender so I could UV map it and create textures. I played with the camera to get it framed properly so I could render it, but again, as I've had with these types of imports, half the object disappears behind what appears to be an invisible wall.
I'm fairly sure this is a render setting that needs to be adjusted, but I have never been able to figure out what it is so I know what to do whenever I run into this again.
Attached is a render of the object (a rickshaw) so you can see what I mean. Any suggestions/tips on how to get around this would be greatly appreciated.
OK . . . Where's my chocolate?
ok there can be several things to look into depending on the blender version
have you rescaled the mesh to about 10% of the original?
was the original modeled mesh mirrored?
is there an actual plane in the scene that is blocking the mesh?
without having the mesh it would be hard to say exactly on my end
OK, there's nothing in the scene, other than the rickshaw, 3 lights, a camera and the floor plane that's default in Blender. My default setup scene has the 3 lights and camera on the 20th layer, away from any objects I may be working on so I don't accidently select them as well when I "select all". Just keeps them out of the way, so to speak.
As far as version, I haven't upgraded from 2.61 yet. I know, I should, but I don't get to play in Blender often so I haven't gotten around to it.
As far as the original model mesh mirrored, I have no idea. I believe, IIRC, I had downloaded it from one of the freepository forums on the old DAZ forums (before they updated the site last May), so I don't recall who the creator was. I only know that when I look at it through WinExplorer it's dated 2006, so it's old.
If I can find a link to the download on the old archived forums and it's still active, I'll post a link here. Other than that, I don't recall the usage rights, so even though I want to map and texture it, I have no plans of playing with the mesh at all. If you know of a way I can check in Blender to see if the mesh was mirrored, let me know how to check and I will.
Edited To Add: I found the original post on the old DAZ forum, but the download link is no longer good as the creator's site is no longer online --> http://forumarchive.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=39515
The modeller's name was Couerl, and at the time he was a DAZ PA, but he no longer is, so have no idea how to get in touch with him.
OK . . . Where's my chocolate?
The issue is really simple. The camera uses a 'clipping plane' so that it does not have to render to infinity. You can visualize this with the 'Limits' setting. Of course, the best way to fix this is to scale the object down after import.
It is better to do one thing well, than to do many things and excel at nothing.
it could be the depth of field limitations that are preset taht are killing it
i do not have 2.61 loaded now but i do have 2.49 and 2.65 and ill run a test to see but im almost 100% sure its the DOF
ok checked in both versions i have and if you turn on limits for the camera you will find that the limits are the issue
Thank you sooooo much. Off to check that and see what I get.
As far as scaling it down, I could do that, but when I imported it into DAZ Studio it was the correct size, so if I scale down too much and save the new size, then it'll be tiny when I get it into DS, but I'll play with it and see.
Let me go check what the settings are, and I'll get back to you and let you know. :-)
OK . . . Where's my chocolate?

Forget store-bought hummus, which is not over-priced but also packed with preservatives! Bet you didn't know that hummus is SO easy and quick to make and (in my opinion) much tastier than the pre-packaged stuff!
The great thing about making your own hummus is that you can improvise and substitute or add a variety ingredients to personalize the flavour profile…such as adding fresh spinach in this case ;-)
This variation of the traditional recipe has become a favourite in our home. It sort of happened by accident…I had some leftover spinach in the fridge and decided last minute (as I usually do when creating new recipes) to add it to the blender.
We actually prefer this to the original recipe. The mild flavour of the spinach doesn't overpower the hummus yet adds a mild, sweet flavour, perfectly balanced by the spicy cumin and sour sumac.
Actually, if baby (or anyone in the family for that matter) doesn't like spinach you might be able to get away with sneaking this into a family meal. (You could always say there's parsley or basil in it!).
For a more detailed hummus recipe and a ton of ideas on how to serve it, hop on over to my recipe; Creamy Chickpea Hummus.
(Yields about 2 cups)
1 (450g) can chickpeas
1 cup organic spinach
2 heaping tbs. sesame paste
1 tbs. plain Greek yogurt (optional)
juice of one lemon
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. ground cumin powder
2 tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbs. distilled water
1 tsp. sumac (optional)
salt to taste
Here's the QUICK and EASY preparation:
1) Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and roll vigorously in the towel to remove the skins.
2) Discard the skins and add the chickpeas to a large food processor with the remaining ingredients.
3) Blend until smooth and creamy. If desired, add more olive oil or lemon juice to adjust consistency.
4) Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
5) Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. (*To get back that creamy texture when removing from the freezer simply blend again with a touch more of oil or lemon juice to smoothen.)
Garnish with a drizzle of olive and a pinch of sumac.
Serve with raw veggies, such as carrots, peppers, or broccoli or with crackers, pita chips, or nachos.

There is no cure for rosacea. But medical treatment can help you manage your symptoms. Your doctor may prescribe one or more topical treatments to apply to your skin daily. You may also be given oral medications (taken by mouth). To relieve eye symptoms, you may use eyedrops and oral medications. Surgery can be done to correct rhinophyma (when redness and swelling causes the nose to enlarge).
Your Role in Medical Treatment
How well your treatment works depends partly on you. Follow your doctor's treatment plan. Rosacea symptoms often get better with medications. But they tend to worsen again if medications are stopped. If your symptoms persist or worsen, ask about other treatment options.
Rosacea Self-Care
Besides sticking with your treatment plan, follow these tips to care for your skin:
Wash your face twice a day with a gentle facial cleanser. Rinse your skin well with warm (not hot) water. Pat your skin dry with a cotton towel.
Don't scrub your skin or use sponges, brushes, or other abrasive tools. Doing so can irritate your skin.
Avoid harsh scrubs or astringents. These products can irritate your skin.
If you shave your face, use an electric razor.
Choose skin care products and cosmetics that are nonirritating, oil-free, and fragrance-free.
Getting Good Results
Learning about rosacea is the first step toward controlling this disease. With proper treatment and self-care, you can manage your symptoms and feel better about your skin.
What Causes Rosacea Flare-Ups?
It's often hard to pinpoint the factors that cause rosacea flare-ups. Common triggers include weather extremes, sun exposure, alcoholic or hot beverages, spicy food, physical exertion, stress, illness, some skin products, and medications. To prevent flare-ups, keep a list of things that seem to make your rosacea worse. Then try to avoid these triggers.
