    Knives & sharpening

    Not that, this is the tool i mean.

    And there's also a flat version of it.

     

    And who's that nutter sharpening his chisel like that, H&S out of the window there then :lol:

     

    That's a diamond sharpening stone/block/whatever. That's only priced at £8?? It's either amazingly cheap or extremely poor quality.

    It's always been a goal of mine (before I peg out) to be able to sharpen a knife properly.

    So how do any of you guys get on sharpening and what knives do you recommend?

    I'm talking kitchen knives.

     

    Just seen a Cryotex carbon knife advert on tv that I find hard to believe although it is an impressive advert. See it on YouTube and let me know your thoughts.

    First thing to do is reset your IE settings to defaults:

    Open IE and go

    Tools>Internet options

    Then

    Advanced

    Down the bottom of that menu you have two buttons, restore advanced settings and reset.

    Click restore advanced settings first. Then click reset.

    This will reset all security settings, pop up messages, home pages and toolbars to defaults. ( the reset option will give you tick box options to choose how thorough it is but I reccomend you tick them all)

    Once done close IE and re-test your download.

     

    If that doesn't work then create a new user and test again...if that works fine do this:

     

    1. Create another user (admin)

    2. Switch to the newly-created user

    3. Run regedit

    4. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

    5. Right-click -> export to a public folder or root dir

    6. Switch back to your original account

    7. Remove(delete) the the above keys

    8. Run the exported .reg

     

    This will force a new full Internet reset in your account for you...once that's done you can delete the new user you created

     

    Great Thanks! The bit in red did the trick. Also Mailwasher is now working properly in conjunction with Live mail.

     

    Thanks again.

    Anyone any idea what this is all about?

     

     

     

    I've been through all my security settings and all seems OK but any attachments that I should be receiving are being stopped [PDFs and Word stuff].

    I'm using Windows Live Mail 2012. Also Mailwasher Pro as a first line of defence.

    I can access stuff through my webmail account but not always and it's a pain to use webmail all the time.

     

    I've tried System Restore to no avail. Also run Avast, Malwarebytes, SAS etc. All updated but nothing found.

     

    This seemed to coincide with a Windows update, that's "seems" not absolutely certain.

    I'm running W7 64bit.

     

    Thanks.

    WHAT A prig this woman is!! She REALLY does think well insofar as she THINKS she is so MUCH better than she actually is!!

     

    On the other hand a MR REES-MOGG seemed a very well spoken chap (possibly someone's son?) and he very nearly had even me believing him at the end of several questions as well as the audience so WELL spoken he was!! But when the silly girl from X3 Location put DOWN quite convincingly (Even her laugh was convincing!!) ms Harman on a particular reply I just had to switch off to stop myself **** myself with laughing!! Along with the audience as well I must say!!

    I see Steve Coogan was practising some new jokes as well. A bit like an old 78 record stuck in a groove.

    Mr Rees-Mogg came over as a confident, convincing, accomplished and measured politician. PM material perhaps?

    Photoshop or.............?

    erm...train martial arts and teach various weapon techniques; fishing;shooting;playing pc games;alot of reading;teaching and painting the Bob Ross oil painting technique and few other bits and pieces :)

     

    Oh not much then! :D

     

    Just how do you fit all that lot in? I've cut the grass around one of our lakes today and I struggled to fit that in. :rolleyes:

    Nope, figures are 3d rendered models useing a piece of software called Poser

    http://poser.smithmicro.com/poser.html

    It uses models from various sources placed into a scene and rendered out as a 2d image. Think the technology used in Shrek etc Or maybe a virtual Barbie and Action Man you can place however and wherever you lie in whatever position you desire.

     

    I do model buildings and weaponary and various bits and bobs myself but I'm not good enough to model human figures yet. You basically buy content you wish to use....render the base scene then use photoshop to finish the artwork.

    Depending on skill level, or time etc you will find levels of post work will vary...some very skilled artists will create everything in 3d and just tweak the final image for colour etc others will produce a naked base figure and then hand paint everything else in with photoshop.

    Book 5 and the frazetta homage will give you an insight into how I use it and work with the 3d models.

     

    Some of my art there is pure hand painted stuff as well....the comic stuff is colouring in for the modern age! Lol!

     

    And just what do you do in your spare time?? :D

    I wanna play with her.

    I was at a birthday party two years ago for John Verity [Argent guitarist] and she was jamming with John and one or two other old rockers. Very impressed even then.

    Great party started at 1pm and finished around 3am the following day, I hate to think what the neighbours thought. Hang on though most of them were there! :clap::thumbs::clap2:

    The French police !

    Why did it take four searches of her grandmother's house before the English police found the body of Tia Sharpe in the attic?

     

    I thought I'd read that her body wasn't in the attic of that house but in the next door one and was then moved back again.

     

    That said people make do make mistakes, British, French, whoever.
