I have recently become fascinated with self-improvement and martial arts and would like to explore some styles.

I have done Tae Kwon Do for over 6 years, but I feel that in my current dojo there is a lack of competition and ways to test myself.

I was researching Wing Chun and I am now very interested in the style and it's philosophies. I have found a Sifu who I think might be very good as he trained directly under Sifu Lo Man Kam, and believes that the key to using Wing Chun in a fight successfully is the mastery of and knowing when to be soft or hard. So I am going to take a look into this school this Thursday and I am looking forward to it very much.

However I still have a thirst for more. What is another style that would cover for all the weaknesses within my base of Tae Kwon Do and my new fascination with Wing Chun?

Little bit confuse about RAM card buying?

My father bought me a 2nd hand PC here's the specs:
CPU= Intel Pentium 4 1.60GHz
Bios=Phoenix-awardBIOS v6.00PG
MotherBoard=P4M266-8233
Max Clock Speed: 1592MHz
CurrentCLockSpeed= 1592 MHz
ExtClock:100 MHz

The RAM card I saw was 2pcs of 256MB PC266/PC2100,, I want to upgrade my Memory into 2 pcs of 1GB. A total of 2GB. But when I go to look for PC266/PC2100 on computer store, they said that it was already phase out and DDR-400/PC3200, DDR2-400/PC2-3200 is their only available stock. I wonder if this two types (DDR2-400 and DDR-400) are compatible with my PC,, Can you please help me? I have no idea on this.

why is the APEC meeting so expensive?

this APEC meeting in sydney (population approx 4 million) this weekend is going to cost around $500 million AUS and approx $150 million AUS in security why don't they just have a video conference which would cost like $1000 all up or just have it on an island and get the navy to patrol it and not have it in the most likley terrorist target in Australia both of these would be cheaper and be easier to monitor to prevent terrorist attack
and yes i know that it is more than one question/statement

Reasons NOT to consume dairy?

I am vegan and have been for 3 years. I was lacto-ovo vegetarian for 11. So I already have MY reasons for not consuming dairy products. But I was wondering, what OTHER vegans' reasons would be for avoiding dairy products in particular. Links and sources would be greatly appreciated.

[once again I am trying to give a "valid reason" to family/friends for why I don't eat certain things, and "moral reasons" just isn't good enough lol... though of course this changes nothing]

Has anyone else dreamt of this?

Okay, so there's not too much detail here as I'm only looking for a possible interpretation of one reoccuring thing that happens a lot in my dreams.

It's perhaps one of my favourite experiences actually.

There are times when I dream that I am intangiable, that I can walk and push my body through solid objects at will. This 'ability' is used in a strangely comical effect such as not using doors, instead opting to walk through the wall beside it.
In most of the dreams, I demonstrate this ability to my friends and family as some sort of party trick.
One of my main fascinations in these dreams though, is the effect of pushing my hands harmlessly through panes of glass in windows.
I've looked up dream interpretations before, but this one thing doesn't seem to be covered.
Maybe it's just me. :P

Why do the British always need somebody to blame?

Why are the british blaming the Americans for the total **** up in Iraq.Are we not an independant soverign state.The reason Blair decided to send troops to Iraq was that he thought along with simpleton Bush that it would be an easy victory and that he would be bathed in glory and the world would kiss his *** and tell him how f**king wonderful he was.He could have told Bush to sod off but didnt.The majority of the British population backed this ******** and now its gone **** up they do the usual british thing and blame somebody else for their **** up.Britain went into this war of its own free will and because the people of Iraq dont fight fair (they dont have tanks planes helicopters but plenty of courage)and are kicking the **** out of us we blame America.Get real you whining bastards with a bit of luck we might learn a lesson
