    afternoon TEA time

    rummage in the fridge - lessee.
    fresh mozzarella cheese, tomato, black olive, stir in a bit of olive oil. says extra virgin.

    i thought virgin was a boolean option, seems to be degrees of extra? mebbe it's diluted with something non-olive

    Virgin = untouched
    Extra virgin = doesn't even know what touching is
    Extra extra virgin = never seen another one of its kind, ever

    The more extra virgin the less chemically refined it is ;)

    The meaning depends on where it's from: in IOC countries, extra virgin means virgin (physically extracted only) with lower acid than is required for virgin, but both are extracted the same (non-chemically refined) way. In the US, it used to be unregulated (IOW pure marketing), now there are some requirements on what you can call virgin or extra virgin.

    The other day I was flicking channels and saw Dr. Oz on Fox, and he had a guest that was talking about Extra Virgin Olive Oils. They said that because there is no regulation, there are imports into the US that are not extra virgin. Worse, it has been found that some imported extra virgin olive oils are not even olive oils, they're canola oil or some other. Some tested had a rancid odor. It was very disconcerting. I hate it when big business tries things like this to make more money. It is said that the process to get extra virgin olive oil is expensive, which is why the product is on the expensive side. These companies are selling crap as e.v. and making a lot of profit.
    For some reason, the imports aren't subject to the same regulations as the domestic products.

    The one thing missing from news reporting today?
    News.
    Today no one makes a news report without telling everyone what to think about it.
    I recall a time when the type of news reports we get today was known as "commentary", and we were told it was a point of view from people known as "commentators".
    News reports were once descriptions of actual events unaccompanied by the political slant of the network, as informative as a weather report.
    I am convinced that there isn't a network, a magazine, a newspaper, a website, that knows how to relate fact without "coloring" it.
    Not one.
    Just tell me what happened, and I'll form my own opinions.

    The internet happened, broke their business model so journalists and researchers got sacked :)

    My ass muscles have been hurting like hell for the past two weeks... T_T


    did something out of the ordinary happen 2 weeks ago? :)


    Yeah, I haven't been to the gym in that amount of time. I think my body is reacting to the lack of physical activity...

    I start to suffer when I don't go for a swim for a few days ;)

    It's unfortunate, but it seems that an awful lot of people want to be told what to think, what to believe, how to feel. There's an expression I've heard used...Everyone has a right to my opinion. I don't know who said it first, but I've heard it more than I'd like to have. Some folks just don't even know how to form an opinion. They ask someone on FaceBook. Because everyone knows, if you do things right you will have lots and lots of "friends". Nobody seems to know what a friend is anymore, either.

    I'd better stop my rant. I won't have any "friends" left. :P

    Hey thanks. M4/M4Aged and dialed face. And customised Poser SSS but nothing too speccy. A ratio of 10:1 backlight to fill light seems to get the scatter shader popping, I got the feeling there's a bit more to push there but get so tired of rendering the same image over and over and... :lol:

    Also don't know where these artifacts are coming from but decided to live with them anyhow...

    Why is it that the little white stickman in the dingus at the top of the store pages has his head on fire?
    I mean, it's cool that he runs around when you cursor over him and all, but why is his head on fire?
    It seems unnecessarily cruel to the little stickman. Is it supposed to be funny? Does he represent Ghost Rider?
    I shouldn't contemplate when my brain hurts.

    I am now trying Daz Install manager to see if that will install DS and have it work. Hopefully this will solve something.

    If the DIM version won't install either, try this:

    1) Make sure you are running as "Administrator"

    2) Try installing with your AV prog disabled, some AV progs are not being cooperative when installing DAZ Studio (and other apps as well it seems).

    3) The last thing to try is installing a fix from MS that adds a missing VisualC++ dll to your OS.

    http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=26347

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948854

    I restart the computer and got the installer to install DS. I can get that to run but not the smart content. I can see in task manager that the content management service is running. As soon as I open DS and the CMS stops running.

    Did you uninstall CMS before installing DS? If you don't have custom categorization, I would uninstall CMS and delete the databases, then reinstall DS to get a clean database.

    I have tried uninstalling the CMS before but did not know to delete the databases. Just uninstalled CMS and deleted its databases. Now reinstalling DS.
