As far as I know, Chinese kung fu does not use colored belts to mark ranks, only Japanese arts like Karate or Judo. But why do some modern schools claiming to teach kung fu use belts and even keikogi's (karate uniform)? Is it because the wider Western public is familiar with this system? Is it simply easier and more convenient to have belts to denote rank than to not? Could someone please explain this for me. I apologize if someone else has already asked this question.

Whenever i attempt to view a video file using windows media player, the image has no color and appears in black and white. However, using another media player application with the same video file produces video with proper color. Other than that everything is fine eg sound, picture quality. The only anomaly is the colour. Ive made attempts to correct this by upgrading to the newest version of windows media player, and at first the problem was resolved. However the second time i started windows media player to view a file, the same problem occured and is still occuring. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I was in the left turn lane and I pulled out into the intersection about to turn. The traffic light was yellow. I initiated my left turn when the light was just about to change to red. A car in the opposing traffic hit me. If I am in the middle of the intersection, I have no choice but to turn if the light is red. When I was looking at the opposing traffic, it seemed that traffic was slowing down. but the next thing u kno, i was hit by another car. Who is at fault?

They seem to want to just rush in and do it, no passion what so ever. I mean, like spending an hour kissing someone from head to toe and massaging them, sensual stuff like that. Any ideas?

I resently started going out with the girl of my dreams, but I had a blonde moment and got her mad at her best friend. It was entirely a mistake, I had miss heard and so on............ Well I straightend it out and everything shes not mad at her and vice versa but now her friend is mad at me and I think my girlfriend is mad to (or at least a little ticked). I said I was sorry many times and asked if there was anyway I could get her to forgive me and she just said "I dont think so bub" and said "that if I was not new to the school she would have sacked me and beat the **** out of me". I am not sure what to do and I really need help, I really like both of them and dont want to lose my girl.
