Thats no reason to stop the advance of technology. It will be our saviour from ourselves.... and from whatever "life" will
cross our paths.
lets face it, the ability to defend ones self is the most important element to peace.
I agree! what half of us disagree is whether the ability to pre-empt an attack before it happen to create peace, and holding people under a barrel to promote Democracy.
What George Washington did was unprecedented in treating the captive of the revolutionary war with humanity and no torture. Amazing scholar and ahead of his time, or not degenerative of our times.

I now acknowledge that Obama made a gaffe on the number of states. And it does now make more sense that he meant to say 47 states, when he pointed out that he was advised to not see the other 2 states. And thanks for the links BTW.
We disagree that the surge has work, as it is lately falling apart in that region. If anything the numbers of Al quieda has increase with our presence in that region.
When Obama propose a withdrawal back in 2007 he plan on a responsible withdrawal well into March of 2008. That isn't a immediate withdrawal. And just because he was against going into the war from beginning doesn't mean he supported an immediate withdrawal. I have a beef with Obama on that issue because I am for an immediate withdrawal, and I am frustrated with Obama for not going along with that as Kucinich and Ron Paul views. If anything we now have a very weak national security and I feel Putin is now taking advantage of that. The more you wave the military strength to the other country makes the other country more violent and dangerous.
We disagree with how to obtain peace, and I have to side with Jesus Christ that turning weapon into plowshare is really the way to go. You have faith in peace and believe that love is stronger than hate to abide with the teaching of Christ, which is something that the religious right winger don't embrace.
I think you would benefit from reading Dr Sues on the butter battle, than listening to Bill O'Rielly, no spin zone. I do recognize the Soros attack, and yes I am referring to the advertisement as slander for linking Barrack to a terrorist group when he was nine years old. Doesn't the age of Obama of being nine seem ludicrous in linking him with a terrorist, or that he was register as a Muslim as a boy? Even if he was a Muslim at age 30 and he decided to convert to Christianity, I would never say but he was once a Muslim and his Christian faith is weaken by that. In his case he was a Christian as a young man and was raise by his devout Christian mother.
"McCain graduated from the Naval Academy near the very bottom of his class, and some were surprised he graduated at all. Wednesday he said the fact that he is now a candidate for president shows that in America, anything is possible."

John McCain as a senator is far different from John McCain as a candidate and voting 95% as John claim he did with George Bush doesn't make him that much of a maverick. The left wing media is giving John an extra 5% in his favor. So if you really are for the income distribution of eliminating the middle class as your definition of the being a anti-socialist country in favor of the 1% being richer than the whole 99% put together, then vote for John McCain!
Which do you think is a bigger gaffe, getting the number of states wrong or referring to anyone who makes less than 5 million dollar as middle class?
I give him that he wasn't serious about his comment but he was out of touch making it a joke. Obama has a better tax break for the lower 60% of the population than McCain. If you are making over $200,000 than McCain should be the guy you vote for as you'll get a better deal from there and on upward in the income. I take it that building roads and govt infrastructure as being socialist. $3 Million dollar for study on DNA bears have more to do with Hibernation than paternity test. That expenditure at this time needs to be reexamine. But it is nothing compared to the spending of military versus social infrastructure. According to wikipedia "The 2005 U.S. military budget is almost as much as the rest of the world's defense spending combined [7] and is over eight times larger than the official military budget of China. (Note that this comparison is done in nominal value US dollars and thus is not adjusted for purchasing power parity.) The United States and its close allies are responsible for about two-thirds of the world's military spending (of which, in turn, the U.S. is responsible for the majority)."
This is where the Dr Suess story of the Butter Battle come in handy!

he should have picked Billary.
LOL
I'm glad he didn't. Can't wait to see "The Chosen One" ascend the Greek Coliseum he's having built for himself LOL. I don't know who has a bigger ego, Obama or Biden.
McCain after he launch an attack of Obama claiming to be the chosen one he had his website scrub all reference of him being the chosen one. LOL

Seriously though, I don't think the majority of voters actually make an effort to look into anything. If the commercials say Obama is responsible for high gas prices then it must be true. If a book says Obama is a radical extremist muslim then it must be true.
The exact same argument can be said for politician who claim that they are going to provide good healthcare for all or that they're going to just raise the taxes of the rich.
Any informed person knows that trying to provide healthcare for everyone (including the millions of illegal alliens - we can't forget them) is living in a dream world. Unfortunately the same voters you speak of buy into this BULL.
Obama's a socialist and the fact that he's using his power to try to stifle free speech should be worrysome to everyone.

Obama is a lawyer and yes he is using legal means to stop someone from slandering him, but that doesn't mean he is a socialist for doing that. If someone says that your a terrorist and publish that in public then as an American you have a right to sue for slander if they can not prove that you are. In Obama case that he was nine years old makes his case strong that he was not a nine year old terrorist. I be more worried if your afraid of a nine year old boy.

If we would have listened to Obama and pulled out immediately....wait is he still for that? I keep up with his changes. No I think he changed that when he saw that the surge was working. Well anyway, if we'd have listened to his original idea, after we went in, Iraq would be a mess and the Dems would have had the lose they were hoping for. Thankfully, Bush did not listen and we have basically won.
False! Barack from the beginning have always says that he plan to withdraw responsibly. Must have him confuse with Kucinich or Ron Paul. I don't think you know your candidate.
That is why you should read 2 books pro and con of each candidate.
You know it's funny but when I've watched Presidential elections (and I've seen a few), I've never heard the call out for Puerto Rico or Guam when they were tallying the votes. To justify Obama's dumb gaffe by suggesting he's adding Puerto Rico and Guam is quite a stretch to say the least LOL.
I didn't hear Barack gaffe on that and only offer a possible explanation. The media have a habit of inventing lies of him being a Muslim and associated with a terrorist group when he was 9 years old. How would I know that the media lie about his gaffe on the 50 states? find me that video or transcript and back it up, and I can check it out.
The votes are tally after a close election, usually the media will pre-empt the official and final count. It has happen before where the wrong candidate was announce the final winner.
The only thing I see you do easily is distort facts. Unless you're telling me that you believe that Obama and Biden don't have any corporate backers? LOL
what are the fact I distort? be specific! and back it up!
I have stated that .9% of campaign funding are from the public for both party system, just to let you know how much is from the corporate versus the people. The only fame that Barack can claim is that he is by farthest the most funded by the public than any other candidate.
I don't know how we could own the media but I agree that it's not objective.
All the major cable television media across the nation are own by 6 large conglomerate Republican owners, and all of the major cities newspaper.

What is interesting to note is that Time Warner lost some of their latin american station when they tried to oust Chavez in Venezuela, after Chavez took back his power and seize the news station and give it back to the people. They had original footage of what really happen the day the street took to violence, and showed the people the edited version and the unedited version. Much like we see Katie Couric showed an edited version of John McCain interviews violating their own rules of ethics of tampering the interviews with distortion of the facts.

I'm convinced right down to my toenails that Obama wants to change things for the better. I just don't think he has a single clue how.
If Obama does become president, he will have all that power pass onto him. what he does with it remains to be seen, as he will be vulnerable to all the restructuring of the three branches and the missing fair and balance media.
BTW anyone wants my Bush character fully rig let me know! I am in a need of a McCain or Obama!

There was Pat Buchanan in 2000. He probably impacted the race in a way he never intended by receiving votes from people too stupid to know who they were voting for in Florida. I don't remember him campaigning for the illiterate vote but even he admitted he got way more votes than he expected in some counties.I've never heard of a third party candidate that takes away votes from the republicans.Isn’t “Do these morons really want another "4 years of Bush"? “ really the same irrelevant “smear†you complain about? Bush isn’t running and won’t be part of any McCain administration. At least talk about McCain's failings, real or imagined. Obama’s big issue of Iraq can’t be discussed because it will kill him to admit the surge has been effective. The withdrawal date will be negotiated well before the election, is Obama going to oppose a withdrawal date because it was negotiated by Rice? The usual Democrat platform of higher taxes and hate is all he has left. Obama should be twenty points up in the polls but he is even and fading, he should have picked Billary.
I am not sure that can be taking away from Obama since he was the first to suggest those changes, as people see it, that Bush has been implementing of What Obama has propose to take it away from him and make it there own. Obama was the one that first propose these changes of a deadline withdrawals.
As for the 50+ states dont forget those pesky territorial states, The United States possesses five major territories with indigenous populations: Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands in the Caribbean; and American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands in the Pacific. Those born in the territories (except for American Samoa) possess U.S. citizenship. Which means the rights to vote for any US citizenship regardless if your in the 50 states.
As for any rebuttal of John McCain gaffe is always resort to the POW clause, and that somehow forgo that because he didn't have a house in 5 years that remembering how many he has now is moot point.
Both candidate combine only receive public campaign funding of .9% from ordinary folks like yourself while the rest is corporates. Speaking of which AT&T set up shop in the democratic party as the wind seem to be blowing in their favor, as John "Maverick" McCain, the sidekicks that votes 95% of what Bush wanted in keeping the failed policy going for another 4 years. The republican are drifting into the democratic party and setting up the same kind of secrecy for elite party member only club. Bottom line is that the majority of the people don't have a say in govt, but what the other 99.1% corporates contributor do say in govt.
McCain is much like Bush in a way that they both are malleable as far as being told what to do by the corporates. They both graduated from the bottom of the class and high favoritism in the military. McCain got his nickname "Maverick" in the military for crashing the planes repeatedly, and was consider dubious that he was even given a plane with his low score and blunders. But same could be said for drunken Pappy Boyington, but Pappy never ran for president.
I just love these kind of discussion! you guys make it so easy!
As for the best man to run for president? first we need to own the media and maybe get a fair chance to actually pick what the people want and not what distortion we are given to decide with. Read 2 books for and against the candidate for each party is about the best we can decide with. Throw away the TV!

IT's A very Cool Project
I tried sending a reply, but as you may be aware, Hash no longer have a PM system on right now.

Yeah , I notice that this morning as I am waiting for a response. I sent an PM yesterday.

How funny! I was a paper route boy with a subscription to Starlog and a 8MM camera as well!
I would have been a fat boy if I had AM: and a computer.

I went through all that. Searched my computer for all files, system, hidden, etc. Found over 300 of them and used a utility to change most of them to the correct time. Some files I deleted, temp files and cache files. Other files I changed by booting to safe system with command prompt. After doing all of that, I rebooted and scanned my computer again. This time no future files showed up. However, once I tried launching AM, the same error message showed up again.
For now I am doing a goofy workaround - since the future date was only one month ahead, anytime I want to use AM, I change the date to July 16. Once I finish with AM, I change the date back. After July 16 the problem will be mute.
As I stated in the title of the post, just a warning about what can happen.
That's odd, the same thing happen to me, exactly one month ahead! This has to be a virus attack that did this. I have been trying to get rid of this pesky virus for months.
So, eventually if you keep setting your clock back to the 16th that by the time the the real date of the 16th rolls around your problem solved?

Looks pretty good!
My main concern is the brain mass eyebrow, as in the picture the mass come froward over the eyes. It's apparent of how the creature shows emotion. Looks like the mass loops back into the base of the head instead of just sticking up like a cauliflower. There is sort of a heart shape contour that sweep back on the outside crown.

is it exterior only? are you going to do the inside as well?

Majestic I have done Cartoon character fully rigged for $200 per model. you can check out my site and example here.
http://www.gentlechifitness.com/wip.htm
I have done realism head for $150 and body for another $150. Cartoon head would be easier to do and the body likewise so I reflect that in the price. But here the catch I keep the price down low if I don't have to do revision of the model that drag on for weeks. So I keep you posted on the progress and you can speak up as we go along. I aim to get at least $20 per hour.
I would have to see the design of the cartoon to make a final bid.
I am sorry I haven't posted earlier, and don't know if you found someone.

I had a co-worker that would speed on the road doing wheeling at 90mph. I gave him a stern lecture on safety equal love, because he just got engage to a lovely woman. 2 days later he was dead on the road wiping out on a corner, and he did not hit any vehicle. His Fiance made it to the accident scene in time to hear his last word. The ambulance crew knew that he be dead if they pick him up.
I can't stress enough, "love equal safety"
If someone loves you, then be safe so you can stick around for them.
Anyway enjoy your bike and the freedom of the road, and saving gas.

It's suppose to be cream of baby food. I should of seek some advice on that. But the fluid particle was pretty new at the time. But at least I got paid for it.

My solution would be to do this without the hair system.
other then that.... what format is the decal, how big is it file size?
The file size may be too much to handle. I would try rendering the field as a separate pass, the closer you are to the chair and subject increase grass count. Then maybe composite the subject and chair on top with high grass count around them only.
does the grass need to be animated? If not consider using a one render pass for the grass as your background plate, and render animated grass just around the subject activity space.
if you have a shot at one angle. you could do a single render, and then paste decal onto grass object at the angle of your plan shot, and then use the area immediate to the subject in chair with animated grass.

I agree that Washington would be an independent and there is something said for those that do not want the job end up being best for the job.
On the socialist calling card for those that want to deal with poverty. It seem that whenever a candidate talk about redistribution of wealth to deal with poverty that ones become a socialist. Socialist become a cue card for the republican meaning that one is for helping out the poor. Just as Elite become a calling card as being to uppity for the average American. We talk about middle class and the rich, but somehow talking about the poor become a dirty word as they are poor because they are lazy or stupid. This year I was blown away at how many line up at the soup kitchen in Portland. It is far bigger than I have ever seen it in my life anywhere in the USA. As for my Christian belief, I don't think there is anything wrong about helping out the poor and it doesn't make you be a socialist, but makes you a decent human being with compassion for someone other than yourself.
