Loki likes it

To save my lemongrass, I got some cat grass and cat nip for Loki to gnaw on. Yes, he likes lemon grass, to the point he will stand with his front paws on the planter, meow at me. Then he waits for me to find some fresh soft blades for him to chew on. Maybe now the lemongrass will 'shrub out' a bit more.

After donating some food, kitten milk, pouches of food and a feeding dish to CatHaven, we got some items they were selling for their fund raising. Got a new CatHaven mouse pad, a CatHaven coffee mug, aikidomayland got a CatHaven baseball cap, and we got a feathery toy for the fur kids. They like the feather toy very much as it floats and flutters. :) Also bought two large cans of food at the fundraiser to be giving to up to 4 cats for their "Christmas Dinner".

The CatHaven is almost filled to capacity, and when you read why... "Rent went up, can't afford to feed him/her" or "Had to move and new landlord said no pets." These aren't youngun's either. 6 yr old, and up weren't uncommon. :/ Was all I could do not to take one very chatty boy home.

Tossing a question out to the Tech Saavy

I had this problem a while ago, and was able to solve it. But I can't remember how.

I had to recently restore my system from back up. That wasn't the problem. The problem was subtitles on DVDs wasn't showing. Kind of a problem since I wanted to watch "Pan's Labyrinth". I had fixed it before, but nothing I am doing seems to be working, and I can't remember what I did to fix it. It doesn't matter what program I use (PowerDVD, CinePlayer, VLC, KmPlayer) the subtitles just don't show up.

Yes, I know how to select subtitles from the DVD menu, and from the program menu, they just aren't showing up. No, they are set to 100% transparency either.

Everything I have found on the net has to do with burning CDs, or subtitles for AVI files, and that isn't the issue.

Help?

EDIT: About 2 minutes after I posted this, the light bulb went on in my brain, and I remembered how I fixed it last time. Gawd, I feel like such an idiot.

Full sized, this image is 1.2 megs, 3264x2448.

Tonight's image should have the crescent moon closer to the planets, to make a smiley face! :)
