To my shame I have to admit that I don't know that musical :o , hope you enjoyed playing Kurt. The Sound of Music is based on the true story of the Von Trapp family during WW2. I'm pretty sure Julie Andrew's played the nanny / wife of Mr. Von Trapp. It is worthing watching once...but not many more ...

Dear members, Well, my small homeland is often mistaken with the continent Australia, though we are in the middle of Central Europe ;) I tell you, it's a nice, quiet and peaceful living here (at least overall). I have a friend who was born in Austria. We are always joking around about how so many p...

I very much dislike the Edgie. First off it doesn't lock. Secondly the built in sharpening system seems a bit awkward. The built in sharpener is only found on one side of the inside of the handle from what I can see. This means the edge has to be a chisel grind...otherwise you'll end up with a very ...

Heck they used to make Red Enduras with live blades when they had the integrated clip. And they don't anymore because they didn't want any accidents to occur with that colour coding safety system. Sal has said that before himself I'm pretty sure. If martial arts folks want to keep red handles on th...

Lets see.....you dont know what this thing is used for but maybe you want to buy one???? Lets see.....he said he didn't know what it was and if someone could buy it. Even if he did want to buy it, maybe he only wants to buy because he likes collecting all things Spyderco made. Besides not knowing h...

If you are going to carry a Gunting...get a sheath. The Ramp gets in the way if you carry it in your pocket and personally I find it too thick to carry comfortable IWB. The video is ok, but I also find it is only useful if you have another person to practice with. I'd trade your Yo for the Gunting a...

Does this make your blades or knives magnetic at all after a while? :) In the store I work at we use Bisbell magnet bars to hold up our kitchen knives for display. Rarely, but on a few occasions I've noticed the knives retaining a slight magnetic charge. Sometimes when I put them down on a wood cut...

Carbon V isn't Lynn Thompson's invention and its composition hasn't changed. It's a mixture of a specific steel and heat-treatment invented and developed by Dan Maragni. To my knowledge, it was the first large-scale production of a mystery steel and mystery heat-treatment preceding INFI and F3V. Un...

/qft. Though did anyone else notice that it was obviously one of Lynn Thompson's relatives presiding over Strider's criminal trial? The Right Honorable Gordon Thompson, Jr, Presiding Things that make you go hmmmmm. I saw that, but I wasn't sure if it was a relative or just someone who shares a comm...

You can't have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles without Shredder, Krang, Rocksteady, Bebop, Baxter Stockman, the Mousers, the Frogs, and I can keep going on. I'm pretty sure this movie is aimed at kids now a days, for the most part, and is geared towards the modern TMNT cartoons. Those Cartoons did...

What is the primary and secondary boot drive setting (forgot what it is called) set to in the BIOS? If it isn't set to HDD0 (or whatever the HDD setting is) and if your harddrive isn't labelled as that drive then it won't boot from the Hard drive. To get into BIOS (even though I'm pretty sure you kn...

Funny, Australian regs seem much stricter, I remember a case when some nail scissors had to be put in the check-in luggage. I get the feeling they don't like screwdrivers either. Their knife / sword laws are stricter too compared to Canada and the US, Gun laws might be too ( I have no idea on that)...
