Thanks Ross, those are great.

Happy Birthday!

About respect for others: Eleven years ago, I moved to the South after living in the North for the first 50 years of my life. A few years after I moved, I visited friends in my former home town. At lunch, they were remarkably rude, not only to the server, but also to each other. They treated the server as a "servant;" no "please," no "Thank you," just indifference. They talked all over each other, not allowing anyone to finish a thought. I had to wonder, "Was I like that when I lived here?" I couldn't wait to get back to the South, where courtesy is the grease that lubricates almost all interactions, even though it's often false courtesy. Nevertheless, I can no longer imagine not saying please and thank you to someone who is doing me a service, no matter how small. A tip recognizes both good service and a pleasant and helpful attitude. I tip in proportion to how I am treated.

Nice find Paul, cheers. Mike PS: Like the Jack Blenderson model [image: 3J37_JackBlenderson.png]

@unknownuser said: What website did you visit the first time you went online? Back then there weren't any websites. There was no web! tim 'on the net since it was flat' R.

aahhahaha oh that cracked me up... Ross is always good for a smile. no I didn't watch it, and no I hardly even watch TV as I don't have cable or anything like that. I only get 3 channels. I saw this on a conservative website, that's the only way I even knew Bob had retired... but hey Bob's ladies are something that deserves watching...

Yeah I saw that too, however after the Disney trip I just took my wife and daughter on, that is pocket change. I did not see the no camera rule... that really sucks.

Well I just learned a couple of new expressions

Nvidia said that because laptop cards are so specialized they have you go through the laptop manu. site for the updates. I got a newer BIOS and driver and now SU is running just fine. Thanks TR

depending on the type of tree, the builder is going to save the client bookoo dollar in the long run, as your structure will not fall victim to the mighty root. there may be cheaper ways... but none will be as sure thing as this. unless it's a redwood, in which case you're SOL anyway.... do you have any information about the lot? distance from the structure of the tree or trees? usage of the lot surrounding the trees? ie drives? walks? what type of soil is the structure going into? how far down is bedrock? what's the frost line? lot's of questions to be answered when coming at a problem like a tree... how old is the tree? what type? how common is the tree? what species of animals and birds and insects use this tree? is the tree of historic significance? is the tree valuable? does it provide any shelter, shade or other benefits? is the tree a danger to the structure in storm or bad weather? anyway I could go on forever I suppose... it will most likely come down to one issue... what does your local government say you have to do?

Haven't heard back yet. And thanks for the tip on msconfig. We will try that if the F8 doesn't work. TR

I wonder if he was trying to commit suicide and had some bad luck?

You wouldn't feel any colder if your body has consumed fat reserves. It's only after those reserves are gone and the fuel is gone (starvation) would you feel the effects. That's not to say you wouldn't feel cold. Most people do. Just not the extreme sensitivity to cold. There are other factors besides fat content and food consumption that affect body temperature - namely the body's ability to regulate temperature through circulatory system.

@rhankc said: BOOOO Dude, you'll scare the kids! cool face. Well it is almost Halloween SketchUp is much more intuitive than Revit. That said, Revit is much more powerful. As far as all the small details, you can get as detailed as you want to with Revit but the beauty is that you don't have to. I don't want to go back to Autocad if I don't have to if that tells you antyhing. I am still searching for that perfect workflow fit for SketchUp and Revit.

Sorry for your unfortunate accident Nick. My mother used to work on Redstone Arsenal here in Huntsville, AL. She was coming home one night and hit a deer. Totaled the car. After the MP made sure she was alright he asked her if she wanted the deer. She declined and the MP had one of his buddies with a truck on site before the tow truck made it there.

I wish you the best of luck Craig. Although, with your skills, both computer and physical, I am sure you will land on your feet whatever the outcome.
