Well, I have a stock of 50 (now only 49) writeable DVD's. Since I began my freelancing small business, this was the first time the client wanted a "hard copy" of the product (a movie) and this was the only way to deliver. Sigh... What can I say? Eurocrats with their 50-year-old rules. Good they did not want it on film.

Very good.

Thanks for pointing that out-didnt notice it the first few times through! I think he should have labeled it...

yeah no surprise at all... and all the others mentioned... all drugs and booze to extremes. they couldn't handle success... morons. I really have no sympathy for those who have it all and throw it away.

Artists never died, paintings sculpture, architecture...are surviving!

If an Apple hardware is a knock off, then when they sign on a Apple site, won't Apple be able to check cyphered certificates, or are those successfully counterfeit too? Didn't something like that happen before with downloading apps., or music, on a fake phone?

@dave r said: I don't know know where he gets this stuff. Emo Philips. Some others: "I love to go down to the playground, and watch the kids running and jumping and screaming. They don't know I'm only shooting blanks." "Today I came home and someone had replaced all my possessions with identical copies". "My parents taught me how to swim the hard way, I thought I'd never get out of that sack." "Most kids get a rubber duck to play with in the bathtub, all I got was the toaster." When I was a child, my parents told me "Don't go near the cellar door you can play anywhere else you like but don't go near the cellar door. One day, when they were gone I went to the cellar door and I opened it and I saw things, things I'd never seen before....trees, and grass, and the sky...

Whishing that is not the new commercial politic of Blender's plugings!

Yes, it is a demo of gif animation. The demo in the animation, is of a karate style that has deep roots in jujitsu, hence the aikido like technique. The key to the technique is the timing to intercept the kick by the body while the kicking leg is still bent. Doing so while advancing, mutes the kick, and unbalances the kicker. It is then a simple matter to hook the attacking leg. Actually, the point of the demo was to show how important it is to walk naturally, while focusing your attention behind the attacker, and not on the position of the kick itself. The raw footage is from a video recorder filming at 30 fps. The animation plays back at 5 fps, providing the opportunity to take the technique apart. Until I animated the sequence, I had not noticed how the technique was executed. Martial arts training is such that you stumble through, eventually getting it by perseverance. Sometimes I think that its the stumbling that's important, not the technique itself.

Thanks all, yeah I did the ESTA last time I went. I think sponsorship would be available, im talking to the University of Michigan on wednesday hopefully will be able to sort something out then!
