    • RE: Sculptris

      Charly, you can edit the PNG files that it uses to make the GUI.

      The basic default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Pixologic\Sculptris Alpha 6\data

      I did a quick edit of the button symbol colour, you can do the background, shadows etc
      Edit the PNG and save as a slightly different name, then change the original filename to something different such as gui_buttons1default and change your new file to the original filename, open sculptris and it should use your new colours.

      So you mean it would have been ok to get a lift if the boat captain or pilot were called Jesus.

    • RE: Economic Crisis - some advantages?!

      Once there was a man whose house was in a flood. He stood on the porch as the waters rose. A boat came by, the driver urged the man to get on board but the man said he was waiting on the Lord to save him. The waters rose, the first floor was flooded and as the man looked out his second story window, another boat came to rescue him. The man turned the boat away, saying he would wait for God to rescue him. Finally he was clinging to the chimney on the roof. A helicopter flew overhead and dropped down a ladder. The man waved it off, saying Jesus would save his life. Finally he was swept away in the waters and drowned. At the pearly gates, he saw God and said, Lord, all my life I did as you asked but when the time came you did not save me. And God said, "I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what else did you want?"

    • RE: Need Advice About This Advice [Groups or Components?]

      The only time I ever use Group is more of a temporary grouping of a bunch of components that I want to move around together. I usually explode that group back to it's component parts or make it a component when necessary. And that is purely laziness, not wanting to hit enter after clicking make component.

      For the Ipad you can't beat Sketchbook, in my opinion.
      I have the pro version for android and it works perfectly.
      You can download and try the express version for free, but I'm pretty sure you will quickly move to the pro version.

      You are right Mike, to do the research but be sure to do enough of it and not just take a few articles on faith.
      I've heard that some people can read one book and then erroneously base their whole life on it.

    • RE: Why vegans were right all along!

      Mike,
      I couldn't agree more about the pill popping etc and I come from a family of medicos, my mother a pharmacist, father a dentist, one brother a research scientist working mostly in pharmaceuticals another is a heart surgeon, I have several more but I'm sure you get the picture.
      All of them are rational about the proper use of drugs and tend toward using as few as possible.
      I personally think it's best to really shop around for a doctor, you are trusting them with your health and as such it's important to be happy that they really understand what's going on with you and are not just prescribing things for your immediate symptoms.
      My doctor takes a very holistic approach, we spoke for over an hour at my first appointment with him going over all sorts of things, physical as well as psychological in a sense. He took the time to get to know me and my life, things that were weighing me down and things I wanted to do. He took the time to explain to me the various things that my body was doing and how they related to each other and how they could be resolved. My previous doctor simply said, here take these and these and you'll be on them the rest of your life etc etc
      So shop around a bit if you can, ask questions and get a full understanding, if they don't seem to really care go elsewhere.

      Jeff,
      certainly try the vegan option, as you put it, but it's better not to think of it that way. Better to "try this food I've not tried before" or try "hey that looks interesting........., oh bugga me it tastes damn good too.
      We tend to eat what we are familiar with all the time, I know I had a habit of going to the supermarket and just walking the same path through the shelves picking up the same stuff I always did, quick and straightforward and done.
      But now I really shop, made somewhat more difficult because I can barely read the labels, my German isn't too good, and buy things I've never had before and then go home and learn how to cook with them. I've had some disasters but I've had more delights.
      And you are so right, you are in a wonderful city for experiencing all sorts of foods.

      Sepo,
      I think I understand why you ask, I remember thinking, Vegetarian ME!? are you nucking futs what the hell am I going to eat!!!
      And here I am in one of the most meat eating countries in the world where the vegetarian dish on the menu is roast pork, but it's vegetarian because the pig was grain fed.
      It took me a few days to get my head round it but I gave it a try, I started with some boring basics, steamed or roasted veg, salads, fruit and so on but fairly quickly got adventurous and started looking for recipes on the net. Pretty soon I had started cooking for myself for the first time in more than a decade and it was fun and tasted bloody good. I've been traveling the world for work for the last 20+ years and have eaten some of the best and some of the worst, but pretty much I had become bored with food and it was only something to fill the tank, so frozen pizza and such were pretty common or a hotel breakfast of bad scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages then nothing for lunch and a giant steak for dinner. I think you get the picture, irregular crap fatty food.

      So what do I eat now.
      What I don't eat, but I'm not strict on this, I will eat them happily if I'm out but choose not to at home, is really just most animal fats and sugar, so generally I don't eat meat or chicken or use butter or milk or cream etc in cooking.I do eat cheese, yoghurt and fish.
      I mainly avoid additives, so most things I eat are fresh or prepared or packaged in a reasonable way, sundried tomatoes in olive oil, tuna in sunflower oil, tinned or bottled things that don't have masses of salt or sugar in them etc but again I'm not that strict on that, if I feel like it I will buy it.

      Anyway I have learnt to cook and I do love chillies and spicy food so I make a lot of curries now from scratch and they are pretty damn good, eating one as I type this, but I eat a huge variety of things.
      A typical day now would start with 2 or 3 slices of toast (made from good bread from the bakery that makes it's own and uses none of the 19 or so additives that go into factory bread) topped with chopped tomatoes, chillies, spring onion or shallots drizzled with lemon juice and olive oil and a good dose of pepper and a light sprinkling of chunky sea salt. I can chop and mix all those bits in the time it takes to make the toast.
      Lunch varies a lot depending on how busy I am, sometimes last nights curry, sometimes a quick tuna salad, sometimes grilled cheese on toast, sometimes a sandwich from the local shop.
      Dinner is always different, I often cook salmon fillets, well cooked they can be better than an expensive steak. Sometimes I'll make a load of roast veggies and have a simple green salad with them other times steamed veg. Tonight as I said is a curry, made with loads of onions and spices with the main bulk being potatoes, zucchinis, chickpeas and mushrooms. I could have done it with fish or prawns or langoustine but tonight I was cooking with chickpeas for the first time.
      I use lots of different fresh herbs and things, I like spicy but I often cook non spicy too. I snack quite often too, cashews and almonds, bananas and whatever other fruit I can get here, christmas cookies full of sugar (but I don't eat them all and nothing else).

      I guess I have succeeded because I am enjoying myself and not trying to "Diet" I still enjoy a good drink, unfortunately I still smoke, but that will go soon enough (nothing beats a Doc that says enjoy your smoke for now and we'll deal with that later) mainly it's a lifestyle change and not penance to suffer through. And I've managed to work my cooking in with my work and travel, but that's a whole other story

      Sorry, didn't mean this diatribe to be so long but it's sort of hard to put a simple answer into words.

    • RE: Why vegans were right all along!

      Veganism, much like bible thumping lunatics, can be taken to extremes.
      A sensible vegetable rich omnivorous diet it really what the human body thrives on.

      As with anything of this nature moderation and education are the way forward.
      This must be true as I read it in The Recipe book.

    • RE: Why vegans were right all along!

      A rather interesting read Mike and quite relevant to my lifestyle.
      Four months ago I changed doctors in a fairly desperate attempt to get some control of my life back. This new doctor suggested I cut out all animal fats from my diet and, as he put it, have a more Mediterranean diet for a month or so. I followed his advice and consequently got my life back. I have lost 30kilos, my blood pressure has returned to normal, my kidneys are functioning properly, my cholesterol is back into the healthy range and I no longer rattle from the plethora of pills the other doctor was feeding me, in fact I take no medication at all now. Best of all I am full of energy and am able to do things that I haven't been able to do in years. My house has seven flights of stairs from my living area down to my workshop and front door, just a few short months ago one bag of shopping up the stairs required two rest breaks, a family of sherpas and a nap, now I happily run down to get some tools and run back up.

      So I tend to agree with the whole idea of eating less meat and the daily "Feasting". I am by no means a Vegan, not even a Vegetarian, I do however eat well these days and find it is actually quite simple and fun to do. I eat more than I have in years and I'm still losing weight, I eat red meat if I want to but find I do so rarely, I eat quite a bit of fish and lots of lovely fresh veg. I'm fortunate to have a Bio, members only, supermarket nearby that goes out of its way to supply only sustainable and local produce and a wonderful local fishery for most of my fresh fish.

      I feel that everyone can benefit from being more aware of what they eat, and the natural follow on from that would be a more sustainable world. It's not about being a fanatic, it's just being more sensitive to what works for you. It's a pretty stupid analogy, but your car runs better when you give it the fuel it was designed to use.

      Time constrains and family preferences often make it difficult to eat sensibly. Big business wants everyone to continue to mass consume, fast food chains, McArtery cloggers etc make it fast and easy, but mostly it's all filled with taste enhancers and assorted other inedible crap. It's a difficult system to break free from, but I think more and more people will do it over time and perhaps in the future we will all be eating much better again.

      I'd like to express my thanks to you Cornel for restoring my faith.
      Your erudite arguments, your deft use of the scriptures and your clear and fulsome explanations have brought me to a new level of understanding.
      I had begun to doubt, I was falling by the wayside, Satan was tempting more and more every day, but through you I have once again been brought into the light and I see clearly now, more than ever before.
      So thank you once again for making me truly believe in the importance of asylums and the selfless people who work in them.

      If you watch the video that cornel referenced, 50 minutes of unadulterated drivel, purely my personal opinion, obviously biased by my ungodly secular world view, you will understand why his arguments are the way they are.

      And if he truly goes by the teachings of "Dr. Jason Lisle" then even discussing the issue is a waste of time because he simply knows everyone else is wrong.
