View rmvb movie with .srt sub file

I have been trying to show sub titles for RMVB files with srt and found of cos from our best friend google.com...

You gotta install 2 things Real Alternative and DirectVobSub:

Real Alternative

You do need a player that is capable of playing RealMedia. The included Media Player Classic supports it and works very well. Supported: RealAudio (.ra .rpm), RealMedia (.rm .ram .rmvb .rpx .smi .smil), RealText (.rt), ReadPix (.rp), RealMedia embedded in webpages. .smi and .smil files sometimes only play the first part of a clip. This is a limitation of the current Media Player Classic. The RealMedia Browser plugin supports Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape and Mozilla.

Some advantages compared to RealPlayer :

- Quick and easy install
- It's easy to make an unattended installation
- Proper uninstallation
- No background processes
- Use a player of your own choice
- Low on resources
- No advertising, no registration forms, nothing annoying

Limitations :

- .smi and .smil files only play the first part of a clip. This is only a problem when the clip consists of multiple parts. These files are not very common. These files do play correctly when embedded in a browser.
- The RealMedia DirectShow splitter does not work with streaming content. You must use the included Media Player Classic to play streaming content.

Features of Real Alternative 2.0.2 :

- Media Player Classic [version 6.4.9.1-107]
- RealMedia Codecs [version 12.0.0.301]
- RealMedia plugin for Internet Explorer
- RealMedia plugin for Opera/Mozilla/Netscape/Google Chrome
- RealMedia DirectShow splitter [version 1.3.1268.0]

Features of Real Alternative 2.0.2 Lite :

- RealMedia Codecs [version 12.0.0.301]
- RealMedia plugin for Internet Explorer
- RealMedia plugin for Opera/Mozilla/Netscape/Google Chrome
- RealMedia DirectShow splitter [version 1.3.1268.0]

The only difference between the regular and lite versions is that the lite version does not include Media Player Classic.

Real Alternative Lite allows you to play RealMedia files in all DirectShow enabled players. Without this filter RealMedia files can only be played in Media Player Classic. This filter only works with files that are on your harddrive. It does NOT work with streaming content. Therefore it is highly recommended to use Media Player Classic, because MPC does support streaming content.

Changes in Real Alternative 2.0.2 :

- Updated Media Player Classic to version 6.4.9.1 rev. 107
- Minor changes
• Real Alternative 2.0.1

Bigger Natural Breast?

Great news for those who wants to have better breast and does not like the fake plastic stuff in you!!

Stem Cell Breast Enlargement Dooms Flatness

Stem cell therapy now offers the prospect of “naturally” enlarged breasts, free of surgical implants.

The technique involves extracting stem cells from the fat of the stomach or thighs and inserting them into the mammaries, where they join the breast tissue, increasing the size of the breast as a result.

The procedure offers some significant advantages over traditional “augmentation.”

Unlike breasts enhanced with artificial implants, breasts treated with stem cells will feel natural, having the same softness and fluidity as natural breasts due to being constituted of the same mixture of glandular fat and water.

Further, implants often have long-term complications and may require replacements. They can also leak and cause scarring and nerve damage, to say nothing of the risks of failed surgery.

Implanted stem cells also promote the growth of blood vessels, ensuring sufficient blood circulation. Procedures that merely moved fat into a woman’s breasts were problematic to the lack of blood supply to the implanted fat.

The technique was pioneered in Japan, initially to treat women with deformities caused by breast cancer. Recently, the technique has also been used for cosmetic enhancements and has begun clinical trials in Britain.

The stem cell treatment appears currently only to be able to provide modest increases in breast size. While scientists are confident in increases of one cup size, only further research will determine if larger augmentations are possible.

Doctors also caution that the current technique only restores volume but does not provide firmness and lift. Those wishing to avoid unappealing ptosis whilst gaining even more volume will have to wait.

In addition, the process takes several months as the extracted fat is mixed with stem cells in batches and gradually implanted to achieve the desired shape and size.

The procedure is expected to become available in 6 months, costing some £6,500.

OMG with the stem cell technique, breast treated are more natural and of cos with the same softness >.< sadly even though it will restore volume, it will not provide firmness and uplift....

Original post from Sunday Times

A STEM cell therapy offering “natural” breast enlargement is to be made available to British women for the first time.

The treatment could boost cup size while reducing stomach fat. It involves extracting stem cells from spare fat on the stomach or thighs and growing them in a woman’s breasts. An increase of one cup size is likely, with the potential for larger gains as the technique improves.

A trial has already started in Britain to use stem cells to repair the breasts of women who have had cancerous lumps removed. A separate project is understood to be the first in Britain to use the new technique on healthy women seeking breast enlargement.

Professor Kefah Mokbel, a consultant breast surgeon at the London Breast Institute at the Princess Grace hospital, who is in charge of the project, will treat 10 patients from May. He predicts private patients will be able to pay for the procedure within six months at a cost of about £6,500.

“This is a very exciting advance in breast surgery,” said Mokbel. “They [breasts treated with stem cells] feel more natural because this tissue has the same softness as the rest of the breast.” He said the treatment offered the potential of considerable improvement on implants: “Implants are a foreign body. They are associated with long-term complications and require replacement. They can also leak and cause scarring.”

Although the stem cell technique will restore volume, it will not provide firmness and uplift.

Mokbel believes the stem cell treatment may be suitable only for modest increases in breast size, but will conduct research to find out whether larger augmentations can be achieved: “We are optimistic we can easily achieve an increase of one cup size. We cannot say yet if we can achieve more. That may depend on the stem cells we can harvest.”

The cells will be isolated from a woman’s spare fat, once it has been extracted from her thighs or stomach, using equipment owned by GE Healthcare, a technology company. The concentrated stem cells will then be mixed with another batch of fat before being injected into the breast. It takes several months for the breast to achieve the desired size and shape.

Until now, when fat was transplanted to the breast without extra stem cells, surgeons had difficulty maintaining a blood supply to the new tissue. Surgeons believe the double concentration of stem cells under this technique promotes the growth of blood vessels to ensure a sufficient blood supply circulates to the transplanted fat.

The same technique has been used in Japan for six years, initially to treat women with breast deformities caused by cancer treatment and, more recently, for cosmetic breast augmentation in healthy women.

Mokbel is confident the therapy is safe and that, after carrying out about 30 procedures, the London Breast Institute will be able to offer the procedure to private patients.

The use of stem cells in healthy women undergoing cosmetic surgery is controversial. Medical bodies have warned that the breast enlargements should not be offered to healthy women until large-scale trials in cancer patients have shown that the new technology is safe and effective. The treatment is not yet routinely available to women solely for cosmetic purposes.

Eva Weiler-Mithoff, a consultant plastic surgeon at Canniesburn hospital in Glasgow, is leading the British arm of a European trial of stem cell therapy for women who have been left with breast deformities following removal of cancerous lumps.

So far more than a dozen British cancer patients have been treated and Weiler-Mithoff is impressed with the results. She does not believe this justifies offering the treatment to healthy women, however.

She said that while breast cancer patients regularly attend follow-up appointments, young women who have had cosmetic surgery are less likely to do so and complications could be missed.

Couples & their sex life

The NEW Paper

Her body tensed up when hubby wanted sex
Married woman was virgin for 10 years due to sexual condition
By Benson Ang
May 03, 2010

She could not have sex with her husband of 10 years because whenever they tried, her body would tense up.

Melissa (not her real name), 35, suffered from an unusual sexual condition called vaginismus, in which the muscles around the vagina involuntarily tighten, making intercourse painful or impossible.

The Ministry of Health does not track the number of vaginismus cases here, but Professor P. Ganesan Adaikan, clinical sexologist from the National University Hospital, and Dr B. Srilatha, a research fellow at National University of Singapore who specialises in obstetrics and gynaecology, told The New Paper that they see 20 to 30 such cases a year.

The condition has also been documented by Dr V.Atputharajah, an obstetrician and gynaecologist from Mount Alvernia Hospital, who wrote about it in his book Virgin Wives: Women With Unconsummated Marriages.

Melissa solved her problem after meeting with Dr Martha Lee, a clinical sexologist, who proposed a series of treatments, including breathing techniques to make Melissa feel more comfortable with her body.

In less than two weeks, before the third session with Dr Lee, she succeeded in having sex with her husband.

Dr Lee added that the cause of vaginismus is usually psychological. Other doctors we spoke to said this condition can also be treated through education, exercise and surgery.

It seems that such cases are not rare...I heard from a friend that she had a friend who had to go to a doctor just to learn how to have sex. They spent around 10 K on the sessions with the doctor. After the sessions with the doctor, the husband and wife are able to have sex together with no problem.

I guess since our life style had changes drastically...and on top having to keep up with the fast speed society that we have... a lot of young couples might face such difficulty...we should be open to seek help from doctors or even look up on the internet on how to deal with such matters.

Funeral Preparation

Most people will not fight about the cost of Wedding or Funeral...Especially for funeral...Who in the right mind will be negotiating the price when it comes to preparing for funeral?

My friend's dad passed away recently and our group of friends kind of helped out with the funeral a duration of 5 days...

Sadly before that we already prepared and looked for casket companies quotations...Imagine all the different companies we looked for the prices of packages were like at least 5K to have the funeral below at the void deck...Yes funeral package...you would think that only marriage have packages right?

Lucky for us...we managed to get a basic package from Direct Funeral Services to help out for the funeral. I would like to comment that they are really honest people...makes people feel at ease actually...an elderly guy (who help out in catering) appeared one of the days and commented that they try and charge minimal...they don't try to earn from people...usually I see these companies try and squeeze as much as they can from the deceased family...but with the minimal requirement that my friend had requested the funeral package still sums up to 9K...she had asked to have the whole ceremony to be in Buddhism way and with that the package comes with coffin, embalming, lightings, fans, bus for the last day, buffet food for 1 day for 30 people etc...on top of that the extra things that were used during the funeral e.g toilet, toilet paper, stationary, drinks, fridge etc all sums up to around 600 plus!!

Renting for void deck from the town council was like $120, OMG...thats killer...just a simple 5 days event downstairs can drain so much from the living...how can a normal family afford around 10k of expenditure within just 5 days? I would say that the funeral has all the basic that should be covered for a Buddhism funeral but one thing her mum requested that burning of house is important and needs to be done...so that sums up to 1K for the monk chanting service plus joss paper and burning of house...

I always believe that we should not be angry when it comes to funeral...all should be done with due respect to the deceased. However, I was really upset when my friend's uncle came to the wake...firstly he was talking so loudly...then he was telling every one this and that...he was especially reprimanding that since the funeral is done in Buddhism style then burning of houses is not necessary...he added that the casket company is so bad added that in just to earn more money...

How can he say such thing when he did not know what is going on?? OMG its like on the last few days of the funeral already then her uncle came along and make so much noise about such thing...He should have done that in the first place if he is so knowledgeable!!! He should have came on the first day and explained to us about it right!????!!! I hate it when people try and comment when all things are done and fixed (or rather confirmed) Fact is that my friend's mum wanted the house...so just for her peace of mind, my friend decided to have it...what's wrong with it?

If you want to complain…then what makes me? I a Christian?!!?? Helping out in a Buddhist funeral, and since there are joss paper to fold I helped to fold and best part??!! Nobody know how to fold the “wang shen qian”. End up I had to teach everyone how to do it. OMG how ironical….

Things that I can conclude from helping out:

1. No matter how much you have, you gotta do the minimal respect for the deceased.
2. You still have to think about the living. So spend within your means
3. As friends and relative, this is the time that you are needed the most, just help out as much as you can.
4. Please don’t comment too much, as long as the deceased family is happy and feel good about it, there shouldn’t be anything that you should complain about.

It was really tiring since we had to make sure that the stray animals don't come around the wake area, especially near the coffin... I wonder why the casket company can't make the tent in such a way that no animals...or rather nothing can be able to go through the tentage and get to the area where the coffin is being placed? Strange....something I have been puzzled about...
