I too, have join the CRASH AND BURN CLUB with the loss of my Hard Drive and .......everything.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/tears8.gif

I have been trying to replace some of the soundtracks, but, with my http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/thunhappy.gif Dial-up, I have only made it to around 95% then http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/jawdrop.gif it stopped. I will keep trying.

As for my quest for DSL, I was told no slots in my area, but, I will keep calling, just in case.

Sorry to hear that AZ! :(

no slots? what is that? you mean one of their install technicians is to busy? because if it is, you can install the dsl modem yourself, it's not that hard and should take about 30 minutes to setup. Or dsl is still not offered in your area yet?

Scott

Don't mince words Amanda, what do you really mean.....Oh, I get it.....never mind.

One think that alway bothered me about ST movie music is, that James Horner did STII and III, but, why not IV? It was a trilogy and having different music in IV, really threw a wrench in the works for me.

The slot is in the box on the side of the road. They only can serve just so many in an area, and in mine it is full, or so they say. DSL has been here for some years, just could not figure how to pay for it, until now, and it seems too late. If that ain't bad enough, this year they raised my basic phone with caller ID and waiting $2.00, and it January, another $2.00. Next month before taxes, fees and other add on cost, it will cost me $35.00 for the service. My total bill is getting closer to $60.00 a month, and if or when I get DSL, it will be over $100 a month. Thanks to the Alabama Legislature, AT&T can raise rates anytime they like, and just about every other month, they raise the cost of a service.

Okay I get it! It's the switch box that connects to your house! boy they are technology behind!!! and it sounds like they don't want to spend the money for a new switch, of course $20,000 plus is nothing to sneeze about for a high speed fiber optic switch either. I use U-Verse (U300) [phone, TV, internet] and last month bill was $220.00, I could not go back to dial-up! what costs so much is the damn taxes, every month for the last 4 months my bill keeps going up and it's the local,county, state and federal taxes! damn I'm taxed enough already! I sure wish they would pick on someone else for a change. Unfortunately your at AT&T mercy my friend! here we have two chooses AT&T or Comcast, oh you can use satellite, but that costs the same and reliability is not to good...so we are all squared! unless you have a private T-1 line and want to pay $500.00 a month. Good luck and I hope you get DSL before sub-space comms are perfected.

Scott

Thanks Scott! Where I live, for TV, over the air or satellite. For phone, copper wire line, can and string or non- AT&T wireless. Internet, I have Earthlink Dial-up now. This is all that I can get out in the rural woods. I hope that sub-space is coming, in my life time....hailing frequency open!

:( Off to a doctor tomorrow. Ct scan at the hospital yesterday found a cyst on my ovary that is inflamed and it probably the cause of the severe abdominal pain I have been experiencing. I dunno what the doc will say or do. **sigh** Tired of being loopy with the narco meds...

IF y'all want Khan you will have to pm me about it. I will rip it, but not until the weekend for sure.

OUCH! I have seen what that type of cyst did to my ex-wife! the pain is terrorable! with her they had to remove her ovary, they do it laparoscopic (three very small incisions in the abdomen) and your back on your feet in a few days. You have to be very careful Amanda, you don't want to rupture that cyst, so try and stay off your feet and not lift anything heavy. Take care of yourself!

Scott

Amanda, hope all goes well for you, my daughter had the same problem.

Amanda, I hope you are better soon, take care.

I know some of the AJAX folks from SoonerCon (SoonerCon 23 | June 27-29, 2014. Midwest City, Ok (http://www.soonercon.com/)), our local OKC SF/F Fantasy convention which ConComm I'm on the staff of. The guys have brought out PART of their bridge set to the Con, over the last couple of years, for fun and publicity.

People LOVE to sit in that chair, I can tell you!

I saw one of the guys at the local outdoor store last week, but most of the time our worlds intersect only around SoonerCon time!

Fans are afraid of the light these days. The horrible burning light that is Abrams burning all that is good and Holy from Trek.

As you may surmise, I finally watched Into Darkness last night. I got the dvd for free. Annnd. Well, I wish I could say there was even a hint of a whiff of one thing I thought was even potentially interesting, but there wasn't. And design wise it is one of the ugliest damn movies I have seen in a long time. The Dreadnoght class ship? HIDEOUS. Both ship's interiors. Miles of empty corridors, ladders, STEAM PIPES? O.O...just stupid stupid shit. Stupid shit.

Amanda-sorry you didn't like Into Darkness, I thought is was alright-not to the standard of TOS but interesting. Lots of eye candy with the special effects but the plot needed work. But with all the spin-offs and star wars type movies it's hard to come up with a new and exciting movie. I liked the wrath of Khan better for the plot and Khan was also played better.

Just remember my friend we (Americans invented the internet) and we still control ICANN! [insert evil laugh] and can cut off any country we want Muahahahahahaha!! [putting tip of pinky up to corner of his mouth] unless you pay us 1 billion, gazillion dollars!!! we will, ah cut you off ha ha ha ha!!!

Just a side note! you can put all of Great Britain in the Eastern Sea Board of the United States and still have room! It is a lot cheaper to wire all of Great Britain in Cat 6 (fiber optic) then it is the entire United States. I have Cat 6, but like you and every one else, it goes from Cat 6 up to my Apartment then back to copper wire.

Just seems so expensive. There are still parts of Kent that don't have broadband though as it is considered to expensive for the telecom companies to put in, but the government are pouring money into this so all can have superfast broadband.

Wasn't it Tim Berners-Lee that created the network based hypertext concept. Then he released it to public thus allowing this technology to be used by all. And forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe he was born in London, so maybe we have him to thank for the internet ;) :P LOL

AZSneed, can't you get a 3 or 4G mobile contract with unlimited data that you could use. I only have a 3G but I can get fast download speeds of up to 4.5 mbs, but normally about 2 mbs.

I might be able to get it, but the cost would exceed the Gross National Product. Then again, if it was through AT&T, you might have to include Great Britain.

The same here! AZ is a perfect example, he lives in a rural area (which does make up a good portion of the US) only the largest city's (something like city's over 10,000 people) in the US have broad band (DSL or Cable) the rest are stuck with dial-up, hence why AOHell is still around and a few others (thou most are owned by the big 4 [AT&T, Comcast, TimeWarner=AOL, MCI])

What I'm talking about is the Protocol's used by everyone to communicate with the internet (IP [Internet protocol suite], TCP [Transmission Control Program]=TCP/IP created by Vinton Gray "Vint" Cerf and Bob Kahn in 1974 called ARPANET, this was the early Internet used by Collages and the DOD [Department Of Defense] to do R&D and to share information. What your talking about is HyperText Markup Language (HTML) that's the code people use to make web pages with. ICANN is the main servers that hold all the IP address's for all web pages in the world, every time you type a name for a web site it first goes to your country's equivalent ICANN server then it looks for the IP Address (96.31.69.127 which is this sites address) and then checks to see if the Main ICANN servers (in Playa Vista section of Los Angeles, California) confirm it is a real web site then it sends you to that web page, or at lest it used to! I'm sure today the main ICANN here in the USA sends updates every so often to the other country's ICANN equivalent servers [This is how other country's keep there own people from going to web sites there Government does not want them to see). But in the end all we have to do is take a country code out of ICANN and your country is cut off from the internet, now you can still interact with your own people, but your country can no longer see or get any web pages, email or anything else from the rest of the world! DIABOLICAL!!! Muahahaha ;) Were is my freakin' money??? what does a evil genius have to do around here! don't answer that.

Sorry, feeling odd and got shy, and ashamed. It'll pass....

Amanda, can you elaborate?

On second thoughts, I will use my imagination.....http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/woohoo-1.gif

Anyhoo, Into Darkness was truly horrible. Not even counting as trek. I had already dismissed that. I mean just as a sci-fi action flick. horrible. I am worried now, since this is the yahoo doing the new Star wars films.

I too, am worried about the Star Wars movie, I probably won't see it, like I didn't see Into Darkness. Seeing JJ's 2009 Star Trek was too much JJ for me.

I was just daydreaming the other day (at work, heheheheh) about "what if" What if I could go back in time, and write a TREK book back in say, 1951, with Kirk and Spock and the whole situation, if I called the book something like "wagon train to the stars" or something like that, and got it published, by 1964 there wouldn't be hardly any copies, especially if it was only in paperback, like so much scifi of that era. Totally disappeared, but still would have a record. Wait until after Gene dies, and then sue the studio for stealing MY idea! Then I could be in total and complete CONTROL of TREK!! I mean Roddenberry's first wife sued the studio, after Gene died, and got a 40 million dollar settlement! Hehehehehehe

Or I could just jump back in time to today, see if anyone ever connected my book to the TV series or movies, and if not, then I would HAVE THEM!! :) I could just IGNORE the two movies, since they are alternate universe TREK anyway, and take all the current actors back to the beginning, and show Spock with Pike in some flashbacks, before Pike got injured, and just continue along the historical path that we all know to be "Cannon" (GOD, I hate that term).

However, if I could go back in time, I could just go back to say, 1961, and show Gene all the stuff about TREK, and avoid all the mistakes made in EVERY episode, and every movie! Film the original TV show in WIDESCREEN and STEREO, with occasional nudity (since we will have nudity on TV in the future) and other stuff. AND, I would totally redesign the bridge, especially the instrumentation!

Ahhhhh, it would be GREAT!!! Hehehehhehehe :)

Hey, an old guy can DREAM, right?

William

So what William wants is to kill Trek as we know it also. Good to know. GOOD....TO....KNOW....

You know, one of my many "What if I could change history" involves wishing I could sidestep to an alternate universe where they've never heard of the Beatles, and take along the entire Fab Four oeuvre. Couldn't you become rich beyond the dreams of avarice by slowly "leaking" this transformative music into a otherwise duller world?

Version II of this vision involves the parallel-universe concept. If only you could go to a universe where the Beatles were there, but every song they wrote was a different one (just as good or whatever) as the ones we've heard here at home? Why, then, apply the concept to TREK ...

What Parallel-Universe Star Treks might there be? Quick, somebody write a STAR TREK story starring the captain Lloyd Bridges and his Vulcan sidekick Martin Landau. Don't forget Lloyd Haines, the Negro communications officer.

I'm officially cutting off this ramble ....

Ah, well I don't get thousands of TV channels, I get just over 100 I think, but to be honest i don't really watch them. My phone is in that as well, and I just got a nice surprise from my ISP, they are going to up my speed to 50 meg Hurrah :). So I suppose it's all swings and roundabouts.

I love this pessimism.

Abrams can do no worse than Lucas did with the Prequels.

I love this pessimism.

Abrams can do no worse than Lucas did with the Prequels.

Challenge..... **accepted** :awsm:

The biggest problem the new Trek films have is not trying to move away from the tired old film formula that has largely defined the series since Wrath of Khan. It worked, and worked well then. But now it's gotten tired. Star Trek has become ill-fitted to the big screen because the writers haven't known what to do with it in a while. I enjoyed Trek 2009 and Into Darkness. And it introduced me to the other films and reintroduced me to TNG. They're not the best movies in the world, which is something I can concede easily. But they are far from the worst. I have a few doozies in my collection so I have a fairly good idea as to what films are worse (Terminator Salvation, Doom, Matrix Revolutions but to name a few).

For Star Wars, I might also remind you guys the script is co-written by people who have written for good movies, one of them even co-wrote TESB and ROTJ.

It's casting and any Lucas involvement beyond pointers that will decide the film, I think, not its direction. I don't know if that'll be a good thing or a detriment: I think Harrison Ford is more than capable but Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill have been seen a lot less. In any case, that's a discussion for another thread.

Nah, the new Star Trek movies are emotionally empty, because those screenwriters only patch old ideas together calling it tribute while in truth they are not even writers, writers, they have something to say. These guys are worse than those back in the times of baroque, empty over-boarding pastiche with nothing much to say but what has been said yesterday (Transformers, anyone?) Its not even entertainment, it's just there. Movies can fail, i can forgive that. Movies not trying, i can not.

Oooooo. I know. What if THIS time, Kirk saves the ship, but then dies. AND, what if we just bring him back right away, and not wait til the next movie. That way there will be ZERO emotional stress at all. Plus, lets let the second in command and not the "hero' deal with the villain. **really**? A Spock/Khan/Uhura fist fight? REALLY?

I hope these comments mean, Amanda, that you are feeling peppy again!

Don't skirt around the issue olafolaf, say what you really mean ;) LOL. I know I'm in the minority here, but I enjoyed the movies for what they were, however, Wrath of Khan, The Undiscovered Country and Generations are still my favorite Trek films. The Final Frontier is still my worst Star Trek film.

Don't get me wrong. TMP was no prize of a film either. And I decided to watch Into darkness as just a purely action film. Still on that level it failed for me. It was just an empty movie. And HIDEOUS set design. Just horrid. I swear, the sets and vehicle designs yanked me right outta the movie every time.

No not...peppy exactly. The depression is doing weird things to me. I'm sad, frisky and shy all at the same time. It's...off-putting.

A BIG HUG FOR EVERYBODY! WE NEED IT.

Ah, well I don't get thousands of TV channels, I get just over 100 I think, but to be honest i don't really watch them. My phone is in that as well, and I just got a nice surprise from my ISP, they are going to up my speed to 50 meg Hurrah :). So I suppose it's all swings and roundabouts.

Don't set in place your diabolical machinations please, or I won't be able to frequent this place anymore.

Where's that william? I'm gonna give him a big hug as well.

My friend you are always welcomed here :)

another big hug for william, azsneed, scotty, pearlcorderman, and of course everybody (who wants one) in the thread :D

"THE OFFICIAL BIG HUG FOR EVERYBODY THREAD" :)

Is it possible to upload a "Big Hug" at mega, preferably in FLAC? ;)

:( If you did upload at Mega, I probably wouldn't get it. Twice tried to download music (from Dear Amanda), and made it to 91% and 94%, then it would freeze up. I feel like Sid the Sloth....Why me?

And yet, using merely firefox alone and no dl helper. I have never had these troubles....

Not so uch with the hugs, no. I am not comfy at all being touched by people. A freindly nod of the head will do. Hugs or any other such silliness, including my trademark flirts, are now off the table. Sorry.

I know, but I am not really apologetic. I have recently been feeling very uncomfortable and downright embarrassed by my past pics and comments, and so am not going to engage in flirtatious or sexual chat anymore. I am just wanting to be clear to anyone interested and ask that my wish on this be respected.

Besides I have recently been made very aware of how many minors are among us, without necessarily being obviously underage, so my explicit pictures and comments are actually very inappropriate, if not illegal. :(

Your wishes will be respected. (besides my offer of an internet hug was purely a comforting "E" hug as an "E" friend. A bit like the hugs the Doctor gave in classic dr who) Anyway, as far as the minors go, Scotty has already corrupted them with his stories that would make a stone blush ;)

Okay then, note to self:

Do NOT make any comments either ABOUT or TO Amanda!

Got it!


Cannot imagine when I have EVER made any flirtatious or inappropriate comments regarding anyone, but then again, as she has often pointed out, I am constantly WRONG about most things....


William

@William:

let us just give her a little space.
And besides, i can give you a hug in between ;)
And there will be nothing wrong about it.

Anyway, with some people (and i do not mean Amanda here) it is a good thing that they constantly think you do something wrong. Once they think <ou did something right, you should seriously reconsider what you did... ;)
So you see, sometimes being constantly wrong just proves you were right :D

I have given her nothing but space for some time now, and I really hate to be thought of in those terms. I don't like to be accused of doing something that I have NEVER even come close to even thinking about, much less verbalizing!

I have TOO many people out there who hate me for no other reason than I am online, I don't need any more, especially for something like this.



William

@William

none here dislikes you, let alone worse... actually I do like you a lot, we all here do.

Sometimes one just needs to take a big step back to get a good view of things again.

Nothing happened. Really.
Now I have to take care of the cold I caught.
Makes me feel every bone in my body.
I am not klingon enough to like that.

good night :)

Twas a joke William, a joke...

I love you guys! (in a strictly non-intrusive and non-possessive way)

The problem with the interwebs is the inability to tell when someone is teasing or joking, etc. I have been trying to remember to put "joke" or some such after my comments that were intended to be that way. Maybe we should all exchange "Young Frankenstein" kisses ... remember when they have to rub elbows so as not to smear any of Madeline Kahn's perfect get-up?

ELBOW KISSES FOR ALL!

Amanda we are not trying to judge you in any way, I think I can speak for all of us (old farts), we just want to be friends with you! nothing else...well maybe we do want one other thing...your sound files :) and your company. We have nothing but respect for you as a human being and as a woman. We know that you are going through some hard times, sometimes we get a little flirtatious, but it is in good clean fun (I'm probably old enough to be your dad [56]) and if we have stepped over the bounds we apologize humbly. None of us have lived a perfect life! I have made quite a few mistakes in my life, some that have come back and bitten me on the butt! but what I have learned, is not to try and repeat them over and over again! and learned to forgive myself. After almost 20 years as a Law Enforcement Officer I can tell you that the only person that is getting hurt is you! and you need to stop hurting yourself! you need to lean to respect yourself! and love yourself! Whatever has happened in your life is in the past, leave it in the past, and go forward with your life, be happy and learn to smile (there is a old saying..."keep a smile on your face and keep everyone guessing") We of course will respect your wish's Amanda! just remember we do care what happens to you and hope you will except our friendship.

Scott

Scott no...I am only 10 years younger than you. I am not directing my thoughts at any one person, just in general to all members of the forum. I just feel it would not be fair of me to suddenly tell people something bothered me without having first given notice that my thoughts on things have changed. Dig?

LOL I resemble that remark! :)

I never told you about the night I was parked on the side of the road (in a area where prostitutes hang out) writing a report, when a women walked up to my side of the patrol car, I rolled the window down and she called me by my first name (which was a little surprising) and started talking to me like we were old friends! I did not recognize her at first and she could see I did not (selling ones self and using drugs does make a person look older then they are) then she told me her name and that we had gone to high school together! boy was I surprised, and stupid me asked her "so what are you up to"? Doh!!! that ended our conversation real quick! thank God! I made another mistake, I told my wife (ex-wife now) when I got home and that went over like a lit match in a refinery! needless to say I stayed away from that area, unless we got a call there and my wife did start talking to me again! aah, nothing like a few days of peace and quit :)

Scott

Ha! I can't be the only 20 year old here :P

I know for a fact of several under 18 individuals who are quite active on all threads in the shrine. Just saying, keep it in mind. a couple I had been quite friendly with without knowing. Between that and other issues I am experiencing a quantum shift in my feelings on feelings of open sexuality. Embarrassment about that, shy about that, these are very new feelings for me. I just thought it was only fair to speak up, to let you all know. :) It is not a "phase" or dark thing. It feels more or less a permanent shift in my thoughts.

Scott no...I am only 10 years younger than you. I am not directing my thoughts at any one person, just in general to all members of the forum. I just feel it would not be fair of me to suddenly tell people something bothered me without having first given notice that my thoughts on things have changed. Dig?

Yes indeed!

Fair or not Amanda! what counts is what offends you! it's called respect! we all have to learn to respect each other and know where the boundary's are! I personally will not stand for anyone disrespecting any of the lady's on this forum or anyone else. I was raised that all women are considered lady's until proving otherwise and no one has shown me squat!

classic release phenomenon. my discipline carried me up to my last day of work. no alc for me, my friend, i stick with strong coffee...
i can act stupid without having drunk anything remotely alcoholic ;)

rest, chicken soup with lots of garlic, lots of liquid is it for now...

If you can, take Vitamin C, it has kept me from getting sick and going to a Doctor for it in years. I take 2000 mg a day.

Hi folks ... has anyone got the season 5 blu ray edition of Next Gen? there is a documentary about the music .. now its an expensive box set and wondered if anyone can upload the documentary ? thanks in advance !!

A wise man once said "I am at my most serious when I'm joking"! That is so true. I try not to joke with people who have made any backhanded remarks to me or about me. That's just S O P with me.

You have known me for as long as you have been here. So I made a joke. And I assured you it was a joke. So. But I am not known for backhanded comments. If one is being a prissy little bitch, I will just come right out and say it. you know I will, and I have not done that, have I? I have not insulted you, corrected you, questioned you or made sly comments about you on the open forum in forever. I have defended you against those who have. If that is still not enough, fine. But I meant nothing backhanded, and I am sorry you took it that way.

For those interested I can now offer FSM's expanded Wrath of Khan in flac via pm. Ripped from my own cd. (Which I now have playing. I never get tired of it....)

Yeah sorei but the garlic will keep people away, whereas brandy won't.......especially if you share it because AZSneed has drunk all the tequila making his cake, which he didn't share either. He'll swear blind that he can't remember doing it, but he ate the whole cake soaked in my 15 year old Glenfiddich. Go on, deny it AZSneed..... and don't think I won't tell Scotty what happened to his Jack Daniels if he asks me ;)

So you say! You mean, I really did it? PLEASE! PLEASE! DON'T TELL SCOTTY!:)

apparently, what I was trying to say was totally lost. Sometimes when you are speaking seriously, you disguise it with humor. Therefore a joke will be viewed by most as humor, except with the person that the barb was shot at! Many people do this, Don Rickles had a really great life, because of what he had termed as "Confrontational humor". Groucho did also. Think about it.

William

i will settle for the garlic and happily give you all other stuff, even in FLAC
if you had enough of that, you will not even NOTICE the garlic anymore, ever thought of that?

Personally Women have the constitution of a rhino! us men when we get sick, we act like baby's or we are on our last death bed.

I was not wanting you to get drunk, just a Hot Toddy! I have found a shot of good Brandy (Not E&J! that is crap), cover up and go to sleep, will burn off the cold. Personally I only use alcohol for medicinal purposes! only!! Ask Dr. McCoy! ;)

In reality, I only use alcohol (Disaronno, it's an Italian Liqueur) every now and then, to get to sleep, since I have sleep apnea and sometimes I have a hard time getting tired enough to go to bed. I used the full CPAC machine, but I turn a lot and wrapped the tube around my neck, which in turn would wake me up chocking for air! which is not fun.... So for now I just suffer through it, until medical science comes up with something better or I just stop breathing altogether...which ever comes first. Such is life.

In reality, I only use alcohol (Disaronno, it's an Italian Liqueur) every now and then, to get to sleep, since I have sleep apnea and sometimes I have a hard time getting tired enough to go to bed. I used the full CPAC machine, but I turn a lot and wrapped the tube around my neck, which in turn would wake me up chocking for air! which is not fun.... So for now I just suffer through it, until medical science comes up with something better or I just stop breathing altogether...which ever comes first. Such is life.

Ooh yes, Laphroaig, that has a peaty taste to it. That's a nice drop that. I have a bottle somewhere...... Time to search the cupboards ;)

I guess that means I have to be the designated Shuttlecraft pilot...AGAIN!

Any landing you did not spill you drink, is a good on.

Which reminds me, when a Deer pulled out in front of me and I hit Her, I didn't even spill my glass of Tea. Of course, she died, she had no Insurance, and I was stranded on the side of the road, but, I still had all of my Tea.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

You mean that I have FINALLY come of age, and I can let loose? Cool!

My brother called to wish us a Marry Christmas today, and went on to tell me how he got his first deer! I was over joyed to hear that, then he told me he was driving into town (he lives in Oklahoma) when a deer jumped in front of his truck and that is how he got his first deer! and he did not drop his Tea as well. lol my brother the knuckle head!! :)

You really have to be a great driver like us, to bag a deer and still not spill our tea! I hear envy in your voice! HA!

But, the good news, they caught the mistake on the 26, and it is fixed. It was a nerve wrecking Christmas, but, did I panic...NO WAY! I knew I had Starfleet on my side, and the Klingons were doomed!

A pox on credit unions. They used to be great, now they are worse than banks. As far as I have been able to determine, they universally charge overdraft fees on theoretical overdrafts which are as a result of preauthorizations. Never mind that not all preauthorizations come through as finalized transactions -- particularly be cause some billing systems send through the actual charges as a separate transaction from the preauthorization, thus giving the appearance of two different transactions -- and that the actual cash on hand balance would never actually drop into the sub-zero range, credit unions make so much money on fees that they throw OD charges on indiscriminately. Banks wait until your actual cash on hand balance drops below zero and generally do NOT charge OD fees on negative "available" balances due to preauthorizations.

I've had it with credit unions. They used to be for the members, now they are worse than banks.

Well, when banks were failing all over the place, my credit union was strong and thriving, so with all of the warts, I will stay with my credit union, now for over 33 years.

In deed! I used to be with our local law enforcement credit union and ran into the same situation, after I retired I closed my account and went with a normal bank, so far, no problems (knock on wood) but all my money is not even in this country anymore! (which is a sad fact) when and if things turn around, maybe I'll get back into the American market...don't hold your breath. The truth is there is no bank in the USA that really treats a customer with the respect and dignity like they used to, the bottom line is more important then anything else.

Hey guys, i did some sound enhancements on the DS9 End Title music (season 4-7), more power, more cinematic, i hope you like it! PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK.

DSPOWER (http://www.mediafire.com/download/ding9ll063oi0cs/DSPOWER.7z)

I used to be with Bank of America, until they gave a south American country a 5.8 BILLION dollar loan, which was a first payment default, and then BofA turned to President Bush SENIOR for a bailout, which he gave them all the money back, out of OUR pockets!!!! The whole FDIC thing is a SCAM, they are giving USBANK carte blanche to take over whatever little bank they want to, so after awhile, we will only have major BIG banks in the US! Almost like "Big Brother" is taking over, only this time, it's the "power elite" bastards! :(

Hey, that DS9 title sounds pretty good, Olafolaf. How did you do that? :)


William

thx, i used several plugins you can tweak sound with in Audacity etc. , namely some Stillwell and some AAY Audio plugins, they are pretty good and are easy to use, i created my own presets :)

Oh, yes, I have Audacity also, but never played around with any of the plugins, or tweaked it around at all. Perhaps I should take a day, and play around with it, you never know what you may find out, hehehehehe :)

for sound enhancement i use Acoustica, it is quiet cheap and for cutting i use Audacity, because the interface is just more neat for that. A good place to find plugins is avaxhome, but there is really no need for that because there is a lot of good legally free stuff out there also.

Thank you olafolaf

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

I don't like big banks either, my bank was a local bank then it was taken over by a big bank and then by a national bank-only credit unions are locally owned now where I live-very sad.

Audacity, a fantastic program. I use it almost daily, to fix and enhance my music. I use it also, to rip cassettes.

As I sit here typing this, I hear the sounds of Artillery fire nearby and wonder if the Martians will make it through, and my life and the Earth is doomed....just now it gets quiet, then a deafening sound...OOOLA!....GET GETS WARM....HOT....then 2014 is over with the World.....The End.

I looked out of my window this morning, and all I see is this strange red weed covering the ground. I see a young artillery man running past my window mumbling something about a plan for a brave new world. He's trying to get a handful of men to start all over again. I last saw him going through a man hole underground. I think he's just a crank. I think this might all just be a dream, and I'm going back to bed.

Last night, I was sleeping, and I heard a noise, and woke up. I looked out the window, and saw a very beautiful lady, standing on a platform, totally NUDE! I was really excited at this prospect, but noticed that she was crying! (?)

All of a sudden, a Martian war machine zoomed down from above, directly over her, and a tube came out of the bottom of the ship, and was lowered to just above her head, she seemed not to notice. Then the tube started making a sucking noise, and suddenly, the lady started screaming, and her skin was RIPPED OFF, and then the rest of her body got sucked up into the tube!!!!!

Then I woke up! DAMN YOU, AZSneed, getting me going on that situation!


Hehehehehehe :)

Happy New Year, Treknicians everywhere.

I'm sure your wife and kids are happy to have her back home! nothing like grandmum home with her grandchildren :)

Thanks Pearl and the rest of you! After talking with her doctor, it looks like she will be there until Monday or longer if they can't get the water out of her. Thanks to all of you for your support, it means a lot to me.

Scott

What is going on with everyone's mother? Holy Moly, seems Christmas is a horrible time for a family member to be in the hospital. I'm glad that you got to bring your mother home, Pearlcorderman, and Scotty, I hope your mom gets to come home really soon. If you want to get the "water" out of her system, spend a day in "Death Valley"! Hehehehehe :) Even when it's 75 in Los Angeles, it's like 110 out in Death Valley Give her a swimsuit and have her sit out by the pool for a couple of hours! Of course, you may go BLIND if you look at her that way, hehehehehe :)

Current temperature is 18.3 degrees, heading to about 10 above in Central Alabama. PLEASE SEND BLANKETS, HOT WATER BOTTLES, PHASER RIFLES....ANYTHING TO WARM ME!

A bottle of fresh pee? :awsm:

I swear if it's not one thing it's another, my mouse is screwed up, so I'll have to get one when i get into town. almost sounds as if I'm stalling for time, but it's actually driving me crazy (crazier)!

You are feeding it fermented cheese again?

Crazier? You look normal to me... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/2-1.gif

I hate when a mouse goes. I like the ball-less mouse, and might even go wild and get wireless, of course I would miss the cord....maybe not.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/woohoo.gif

I was thinking (I know, very very dangerous!) about Starship Exeter, and finally found out who wrote and performed the Main Theme to the film. Here is a link to Stan Ginsel's site with info and to listen to the theme, as well as the unused theme.

A short note from "Scotty" (the one from San Joaquin Valley): He wanted me to let you know that his mother is still very ill. As a matter of fact, her health has even more declined recently, and the doctor's have alluded that she may die soon. That's the reason for Scotty's temporary absence.

Let's send him our prayers for him and his mother!

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THIS, PRAYING.

We're praying for Her and Scotty too.

That is sad news indeed! First Paul Walker, and now this! All the good people are leaving our planet! :(

Having lost my mother to a nasty doctor about 10 years ago (He o.d.'d her with morphine, and threw her into a coma, where she died!) my heart goes out to Scotty and his entire family.

William

someone dear and important in danger is always tough... thinking of scotty and his family too.
we never learn how to deal with stuff like that, so it hits us unprepared, no matter how experienced.

whatever happens, i hope it will be ok for his mother and that he and his family can deal with it....

My thoughts are with Scotty and his Mum. Will say a prayer tonight. <3

Having had what can only be described as nigh-unto-wonderful parents, my memories of my Mom are thankful. So it's from this perspective that I too say that I'm praying for Scotty's mom and the family, and that Scotty (from San Joaguin) and his mom have wonderful memories to treasure.

I just wanted to add myself to the big community hug for you, Scotty. My prayers are on this moment for you and your mother.

WOW, nearly seven pages of posting TODAY, and not one post on Star Trek! Hmmmmmmmm...........

Not to change the subject (and he did) however, I found out some interesting news, speaking of Paul Walker and the "Fast and furious" series of movies. A young man who works at my local McDonalds is a HUGE fan of the movies, and belongs to several chat groups and online blogs, and apparently it is official that the THIRD movie "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" will take place AFTER F&F6 and before F&F7. At the end of F&F6, you see the Japanese guy, who has been in many of the F&F movies, gets broadsided on the streets of Tokyo, and his car blows up! We are supposed to believe that he is dead, but you never know. Also, at the end of the movie, you see Jason Statham was driving the other car that hit the Asian guy, and he's talking on the phone to Vin Diesel! He's supposed to be the bad guy in F&F7, and he's supposed to take out the whole crew! We will see......

NOW..... Back to Trek talk! :)


William

Trek? What is that?

I did leave a link for Starship Exeter music, that is Star Trek. I wish they would finish the film, and then maybe release the music heard in it.

Fast and Furious, never seen one of the movies. If you want Fast and Furious, watch JJAbram's versions of Star Trek.....WAIT! WHAT WAS THAT? FLEW RIGHT BY ME TOO FAST! I'm really furious that I could not see what ever it was.

Just thought some more Star Trek stuff was in order.

Just a quick note! Thank You all for the prayers for my mother and myself (we can use all of them) from the bottom of my heart! (now I'm trying to be strong for my mother and sons...so far anyway) but after reading your words, I am going to cry!!

@ Mark, I too have very found memories, my mother has always been there for me! and I have been so blessed to have such a wonderful loving mother! there is something that connects sons to there mothers (and the same can be said for daughters to there fathers) that no one can break that bond.

My mother is slowly fading from this world, and in no pain and surrounded by her children and grandchildren! along with her family (and there are a lot of them), she is still smiling and a little talkative. She knows her time is near and she has excepted it and is at peace! Now my friends it is just a matter of time! and what ever time she has will be filled with love and good memories.

I would like to say I love you all for being there for me and my mother...you are all the best friends anyone can ask for :)

My mother is the one that saw the advertisements for a new TV show and seat up with me and we watched it together every week, even when it was moved to Friday nights at 10:00 pm, I will always be grateful for starting me on that journey!!... "Admiral, would you give the word! Mr. Scott! The Word Is Given...Warp Speed"

Well, Nemesis was donated by the 10th to at least half a dozen or so folks that I know....out of curiosity, are you then asking for pm's to the set? Since it IS Varese? Just curious how you work that in your thread....

I know nothinggg!!! and The 10th wasn't involved! Seriously though, yes.

Someone get the Agonizer!

If I could go back in time and change ONE THNG in regards to my parents, I would make sure to say "Thank You" even more often than I did. As long as she can hear you, keep saying "I Love You" and "Thank You."
On second thought this also applies to EVERYBODY ELSE you can think of, too!
BTW, it's great to chat/talk/interact with all of you folks, as well. I'd probably be a grumbly sort without the chance to reflect on how lucky and blessed I am by simple things like life and food, heat & AC ... and dry socks.

Spock's Record Round-Up (http://spocksrecordround-up.blogspot.com)

Scotty: Yes, it is a lucky thing that your mom got you seated in front of the TV to watch Star Trek back in the day, I had to go down to the neighbor's house, which had a COLOR TV, just to watch it each week. Even though I had to fend off the romantic advances of the neighbor's fugly daughter (She's maybe a very nice woman now.....) but my parents would hog the TV set all night, and we had to watch what THEY wanted, if we even wanted to watch TV. I just went into my room, and lost myself in a good book or another. :)

I have to say, my friend, we are all here to give you an internet pat on the back, and show our support for your situation. I have an older friend (in the industry) named Bob, whose wife of 30 plus years died of cancer when he was 63, he mourned her for two years, and then met Barbara, who was a year younger than him, and just lost her husband the year before. That was over 20 years ago, and they are still married, and she's been dying of heart failure for the last year and a half! The doctor's told Bob that she wouldn't last 6 months, and she's been hanging on all this time. I really feel for him, to go thru cancer, and now heart problems with two wives, it's gotta be hard. I have often thought of who would die first, me or my wife. But the thought of losing one of my little girls just makes me shutter to my core, nothing worse that having a child die before you. Don't know what I would do if someone stupid would be responsible for taking one of them away from me, it would truly test my faith, to be sure.

Anyway, Scotty, we are all here for you.

Take care, William

It will be 9 years this month since my Mother passed away. She was there for me always, and in her last 2 1/2 years I was there, taking care of here at home, just the two of us. She only trusted only me to take care of her, we were very close. So, I do understand too well.

Scott, it will be painful, but, as long as you cherish the times together, you will always have happy thoughts, as I do.

Well, it's been 12 years for me, and I'll always cherish the fact that, before she died, she thanked me for taking care of her, the last three years of her life. It was something that I felt strongly about.

William

For me it will be 5 years since my grandmother passed away on January 10th

After reading/posting on this thread two days ago, I had a dream in which I entered my folks' bedroom and found them both very much alive. Although even in my dream I knew they had died, I took advantage of their "presence" to thank them for their love and wonderful raising of me.

Of course it was very emotional, mostly thankfulness, that I felt. And it was a type of wish fulfillment too, but still it's a wonderful thing when your memories are of blessings not resentments.

Let's try to order our lives so that these good memories are what we leave to others!
All the best to all,

Mark

Just want to say "thank you" to everyone involved...these are awesome quality! Make me fall in love with these scores all over again!

Well, Appleby, welcome to the board, and most all of us know what it's like to fall in love with music! :)

The rest of the planet can just go suck canal water if they don't! Hehehehehehe

William

Yummy canal water....you didn't mean me?

Food...music....food...... music...DO I REALLY HAVE TO CHOSE?

Food...music....food...... music...DO I REALLY HAVE TO CHOSE?

who told you you need to choose? ;)

I have been in love with soundtrack music for almost 40 years, I would hate to have to choose. :)

in my opinion....no need to choose.
take them all :D

food, music.... more. ;)

Yes, food, music, sex, TV, do them all at once! Hehehehehehehe :)


William

That's called multitasking. My wife's an expert in multitasking! I mostly choose one of it at a time, not necessarily in your order, William!:rockwell:

as long as I do not have to do it (eating or anything....) on TV! :p

I agree ... too much food on the TV tends to make the screen hard to see. Also once the flies start buzzing around, the sound starts to degrade also. That's why I like to keep a squeegee near the TV, to clean up after my food, music, sex, TV sessions ....

Wait, that's not what you meant? Oooopsie ...

I DON'T WATCH TV....I messed up the whole system, sorry. :(

Back in the mid 70's, when Star Trek was on TV, I could not watch it, but, wanted to have some music from the show. So a friend of mine recorded on cassette tape the Teaser and Main Theme for me. I just about wore out the tape. The episode was, The Cloud Minders. Every time I watch that episode, I remember that tape, my first Star Trek music to listen to.

Before we had a video recorder I used to record Doctor Who on a reel to reel tape recorder I bought from a jumble sale. I used to place a microphone in front of the speaker, LOL it must have sounded awful, but It meant I could re visit the episode. What you did as a kid to get your cult TV kicks ;)

I used to do the same thing. I used to record TV and Movies when they had them scheduled back in the 70's. You couldn't make a mistake with movies or you'd have to wait forever to record again. Was a little easier when we got a Beta Video recorder, but you couldn't mess up with it either.

we had a system called video 2000.

and i still have cassettes with trek-recordings on them from the later system....

and i still record, with a digital or hard drive recorder.
i hardly watch things that are live on tv.


@pearlcorderman:
I remember that :D
did it with trek and with music...

I think we should all get together and burn all our old cassettes in some Star Trek Death Ritual, but have some women dressed as Orion slave girls dance around with the tape strung out flying and glittering from the bonfire, and play music from a CD just as a poke to the old technology and sing Klingon or Pakled war songs and site war stories like "Timon and Pumbaa, at the walls of shocking pee" "when the walls fell" or whatever.

That's called multitasking. My wife's an expert in multitasking! I mostly choose one of it at a time, not necessarily in your order, William!:rockwell:

My dear, every women is a multitasking expert ;)

No wonder that men can't live without us!

However we have a terrible sense of orientation. So many times that we get lost on a shopping center :D

A tape recorder in front of a speaker of a TV recording, good times and frustrating when the Family would not SHUT UP!


Back in 1975 I watched and recorded on cassette the after school "NBC Special Treat", Gerry Anderson's The Day After Tomorrow-Into Infinity. I loved the show and mostly the music by Derek Wadsworth. I wanted the soundtrack! Then over 10 years ago, I joined Fanderson mainly to get the DVD, to get the music. It is my most expensive single DVD, and worth it! No soundtrack released, so ripped what I could from DVD...pure joy, and it all started from a cassette recording as a teen.

For years, I listened over and over to a cassette of a STAR TREK episode recorded by holding the mike of my "mini cassette-corder" in front of the TV speaker. Sadly, the episode happened to be "The Enterprise Incident" and not a goodier one like "Amok Time" or "Shore Leave."

Aah, that buzz-hum noise from the TV speaker during the quieter moments.

(This was when the TV was still clean, mind you.)

I'll bet i could clean it up and make sound like the Master copy.............................................. .................................................. ...........................................Just kidden

Running a magnet over the tape will clean it up.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/roflao.gif

Back in the 60's, I used to record my old black and white 27 inch Zenith TV by putting a couple of "alligator clips" directly to the speaker, with a resistor attached to reduce the massive flood of sound into my old Sony reel to reel, worked like a charm, and my family could talk all they wanted! Then I found out that during the lower volume levels, or during a silent period of the tv show, the speaker also acted like a mike!!! I could hear talking far off in the background, sort of like recording the rear channels of a 5.1 surround DVD! Hehehehehe

Awwww the good old days.

William

Some of these were missing to my collection, thanks a lot William :)

I remember that - I taped it on cassette too! I loved it. Always thought it was a shame it never went to a series. Any chance you could up your DVD rip of the music? It was great, that striking theme tune - sort of a forerunner of Space: 1999 year 2...

Sorry, no, not with my dial-up. I barely can download much anymore. ONE day I will get DSL, if AT&T will get an open slot available in my area.

I found this last night on Youtube, the end theme.

Also, though it's a little off topic, I just placed a link on the "Twilight Zone" thread for all of the Bernard Herrmann TZ stuff, so go over there and get it while you can! :)

Back in the day, I used a cassette recorder hitched to the tv by attaching a cord I bought, from the ear phone jack to a audio input jack, worked great.

@ AZSneed Well I didn't have problems with the family talking as I had an old 405 line Black and White TV in my bedroom (also purchased from a jumble sale), so recordings were background voice free.

@ max_stein The TV didn't have a headphone socket so I couldn't connect that way, and I didn't have the know how of William with putting an in line resistor to make the output level recordable.

We had a TV that could not pick up the sound on one channel, so we used an FM radio that had the audio from the TV station, and PRESTO, we had sound. Oh, the good old days.:)

We lived up in the "great north woods" when I was a kid so I had to use plenty of tin foil to help pick up the "local" stations on our old 29 inch B/W TV- poor picture and terrible when the weather was bad, now I have a 60 inch flat screen HD set with surround sound - how times have changed.

I still have a 23 year old TV that I use rarely to transfer Beta and VHS to DVD and VCD. I watch my DVDs on my PC. Even if I wanted to move up to HD, I can not afford it, it is hell being poor.:(

I came across links elsewhere on this board for some Star Trek: Voyager bootlegs, but the links are long since dead. Does anyone have them to re-upload? Any Voyager bootlegs? Thanks in advance.

Amanda has some, search for Star Trek and her name for user and browse. see if you find anything you want.

Amanda says she doesn't have any, but she says some DVD rips exist. Does anyone know where I can find those? That must be what I saw in an old thread where the links had expired.
